Yep, and his support is and always has been a minority.

They are facts. And, facts are additionally that more people voted in 2020 than 2016, and Trump lost both the popular and electoral vote in 2020.

Are you a bot?

I didn't say she did. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Hillary did in 2016, because voter turnout was far larger in 2020. Increasingly, Gen Z is more okay with Socialism and actually prefers it over Capitalism, something unthinkable for Boomers and Gen X.

Yep, I'm grateful that I can fix what's still there, it's just unfortunate that teeth are luxury bones, and good health is a luxury in and of itself.

That's blatantly bad-faith, Biden got more votes in 2020 than Hillary did as well. Voter participation was far higher.

What a dashing monke

Increasingly fewer people do.

1. We've already explained that your claim that workers owning tools = nobody works = starvation is pure mysticism. When pressed for why, you said people would work less automatically, which is wrong, especially considering co-operative farming has worked for as long as humanity has existed, and continues to do so. Additionally, you claimed they would be less stable, which was also proven false with my example of Worker co-operatives.

2. I'm not asking for the Soviet Union, you keep pushing that in there as though it's the only way, and pretend that every problem the Soviet Union had must be repeated if Workers share tools. Its an utter fallacy.

3. Workers cannot consent to Capitalism, it exists regardless. That's like saying peasants consented to Feudalism.

The very fact that you deliberately refused to answer why Factory 1, with the Capitalist ownership, was better than Factory 2 with democratic ownership, and instead dodged, proves me exactly correct: you have nothing to stand on and merely reflexively reject everything I say. You're no different from a Monarchist during the French Revolution saying that workers wouldn't have the ability to choose to be a serf under Capitalism.

Please, explain exactly why the democratically run factory is worse than the undemocratically run factory. If you're going to continue to lie about what I'm saying and make absurd mystical claims, then I suppose I expected too much from an internet stranger.

Those people are dying out, which is more to my point.

No, I am advocating for democratic control, not giving all control to one or two dudes. That's what you're putting in my mouth. For example, I'm arguing for the factory to be owned by the Workers, and managed by whoever they vote for. You're the one adding the caveat of an anti-democratic central god-planner, which is nonsense.

The rest of your comment is you continuing this nonsense, so maybe I'll break it into something simple and bite-sized for you.

Factory 1: Capitalist owner, workers have no say except to leave.

Factory 2: Workers are the Owners, elect a manager, and said manager can be deposed by the Workers at will.

Why do you think having Factory 1 is better, and why do you think I'm advocating for Factory 2 to have no democracy whatsoever? Why do you think it's impossible to have a federated network of Factory 2s, that are all democratically accountable, rather than someone at the top of all of Factory 2s and no democracy?

If you keep avoiding this question and intentionally misrepresenting my point, you just further prove that you don't actually care to discuss anything.

Unironically yes, increasingly. I know Lemmy is very leftist, and thus doesn't reflect America in general, but the more time goes on the more left each generation becomes, and Gen Z is by far the most leftist generation in America currently. Gen Alpha will have to wait and see, but for now America is more likely than ever before to vote for Bernie.

This. I've only been recently able to afford much needed dental care, and now it's too late for one of my teeth, a tooth above it broke the roots because my mouth is too crowded. Had I been able to afford it earlier, I would have a much more normal mouth.
