And yet despite everything continuously getting worse they can’t figure out what to do differently.

Incorrect, the last 7 congresses had the following party divisions:
113th 2013-2015 : 53 D - 45 R - 2 I
114th 2015-2017 : 44 D - 54 R - 2 I
115th 2017-2019 : 46/47 D - 50/52 R - 2 I
116th 2019-2021 : 45/46 D - 53/52 R - 2 I
117th 2021-2023 : 46/48 D - 51/50 R - 2/3 I
118th 2023-2025 : 47/48 D - 49 R - 3/4 I
119th 2025-2027 : 45 D - 53/52 R - 2 I - 1 VacancyWe literally have not had more than 48 D since 2015. The most independents we’ve ever had since the 1940s was also coincidentally in just before Republicans swept the 2024 election. Every DNC “majority” we’ve had in the last decade was only with caucusing independents and also VP tiebreaker.
We ALSO never had a DNC supermajority, which is why we had to water down the Public Option healthcare in 2011-2012 due to Independent Joe Lieberman holding out and Republican filibuster, the most we’ve had since 1979 was only 58.
What does Liberals complaining about how unconstitutional the actions of the ICE are have to do with my request for citations of the claim that Liberals were fighting to keep them around?
It’s also almost funny that he’s trying to remove the parts of the museum that point it out. He’s trying to cover up the thing by doing it.
finitebanjo@piefed.worldto Gaming@lemmy.zip•Dante's epic poem La Divina Commedia is getting turned into a videogame againEnglish4·15 hours agoThe Dante’s Inferno was an epic game, loved it. I accidentally stumbled upon a build that let me permanently stay in the holy form on my first run and that allowed me to beat the New Game+ with ease, but later on I tried it with more normal gear and it was brutal lmao. Had no idea I was cheesing it the first time around.
If I remember it was Ciacco’s Bile alongside Stone of Wrath into Divine Armor and specific combos which nicely allowed for Redemption to activate.
I feel like that would work in reference to a Liberal Party like you find in parts of Europe and Australia, but the word Liberal alone just doesn’t work here.
DNC haven’t had more than 50 senators in over a decade but he still managed to pass lots of good shit like the IRA and some protections for gay marriage.
Idk, it kind of changed how planes are made forever, with reinforced cockpit doors and all.
In their defence, I bet pilots would think about that event pretty often.
When the Police side squarely with the ICE I will consider it, as was the case with the recent protests in DC and also in downtown Denver CO, but otherwise no.
finitebanjo@piefed.worldto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•If There Was A Button That Made Everyone AmishEnglish752·1 day agoUm, akshually, there would still be lots of burning things for heat and livestock. Livestock are the majority of all mammals on earth, outnumbering humans by a lot, only 6% of mammals are wild animals. In addition, lack of preserved food would lead to higher consumption.
BUT it being so unsustainable and full of disease would mean it would rapidly decrease populations, which would decrease ecological impact after a couple of generations, so it’s a sound strategy longterm.
Butthole Surfers Pepper in my ass?

The right dominates the online ecosystem.English41·2 days agoJohn Oliver’s show regularly uploads segments to YT for free viewing, though. It often hits the trending list.
It means that user downvoted more than he upvoted. High positive percentage means they upvoted a lot, high negative means they downvoted a lot.
It means he downvoted like 3/4ths of all the posts he voted on. The scale goes from -100% to 100%.
finitebanjo@piefed.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Gavin. Its time to put on the (orange) mask. Finish the job.English51·2 days agoThat’s fine but even if we replace every DNC and none of the GOP we make zero progress. Cuomo was old and clearly mentally unwell, that’s why Mamdani is the new DNC candidate on the ballot.

The right dominates the online ecosystem.English2·2 days agoYou can find lots of left leaning online personalities, but left leaning voters don’t generally get their news from Vlogs and don’t really care about meaningless statements without data or by people with no real power to affect.
I just assumed his sleeping quarters were where he worked, possibly at the castle.
