I swear, you ML users really do give Lemmy a bad name.
I didn’t state anywhere to reach across the aisle, did I - you just made up your own strawman to get angry and argue against.
However, I did say if someone from the other side - even a gremlin like MTG - supports your existing position and they are the one reaching across the aisle, only a petulant, short-sighted fool would leave them hanging.
I don’t know mate. I was on .ee and just picked a popular alternative when it died. Not sure why an instance matters when I just join subs from all instances on an android app.
“Reach across the aisle” just means working with the other party. Do you think my criticism changes based on which party initiates it? Because it doesn’t.
Could you maybe respond to what I said? Instead of mentioning something irrelevant and then nitpicking what a phrase means?
Having a moral compass matters. First, throw the Palestinians under the bus because “things will be worse for trans people if we don’t vote for the genocidal Zionist”. DO NOT demand anything of your party. That could “make them look bad”. Yeah, the genocide made them look bad. That’s the parties fault. Not their progressive base.
Then, “well, throw the trans people under the bus because healthcare for cis people is still good”.
Then it’s “well, we can’t cover abortion because our grifter we work with doesn’t want that either. But healthcare reform is still good”.
Your type of thinking is how we got to the state we are in today. This is how the overton window shifts right. It’s the Democrata constantly reaching their hand across the aisle to the right while doing everything in their power to kill progressive movements within their own party. Look at how they treated Mamdani. And now, under the thumb of fascism, in a completely disabled legislative branch with no power, you’re falling for a racist grifter that does not give a FUCK about universal healthcare.

But you do you, an stay mad I guess.
