    And? What does 21-23 have to do with who is “currently in power”? And how many SC justices has Biden appointed?

    Maybe you should read the entire conversation, it’s not long, instead of knee-jerking to one comment.

    Edit: You know how you “restructure” the DNC? You show the fuck up. The average local office would only need 5-6 people regularly showing up, every meeting, not just the last few months before a presidential election, to shift resources and voting recommendations to more progressive primary candidates.

    Holding one of three branches is not “in power.”

    All spending bills have to originate in the republican controlled house. Anything the administration tries to do on it’s own has to survive a heavily politicized Supreme Court. A Supreme Court that would be radically different without the Trump presidency. We’ll be dealing with those Trump appointees for a generation and they’ll do far more harm than he ever did. Not enough people voting blue in 2016 is going to have very long lasting consequences.


  • I get what you’re saying, but assuming you’re talking about medical doctors, they’re a bad example. I know three doctors well and they’re all dumber than a sack of hammers. Becoming a doctor doesn’t require much intelligence, it requires the ability to stay in school long enough (and being able to tolerate gross stuff from other people’s bodies).

    What do you call someone who got all Ds in medical school? Doctor.








  • Am I being deprived of Stamets’ memes because of some thin-skinned power-tripping douche mod?

    Time for a new instance. Any recommendations for a stable instance that federates with everyone (except for the worst, of course)?

    Edit: If anyone is confused, I meant to reply to this comment that links to Stamets’ recent rundown on the whole kerfuffle.

    Edit 2: I just learned something I’d like to share with anyone else that needs to know. If a user (Stamets, for example) is banned on your instance (startrek.website, for example) even here, a community on lemmy.world, you can’t see his posts. Not only that, but if he comments you can’t see any replies to his comment. There are a lot of comments in this thread startrek.website users can’t see.

    If you don’t want overzealous admins curating your experience on other instances, you might want to find a new instance.
