Why?

Ineligible? Bernie could be on his death bed, he’d still be more “eligible” than Trump or Biden. Honestly, at this point, does the US even have eligibility requirements for POTUS?

Oh no, the rich will keep doing what they’ve been doing for 50 years!

Bernie would tax the shit out of the rich and use that to create tons of jobs… Maybe not useless McDonald’s jobs though… more like rebuilding the infrastructure jobs

Unlikely to vote= because there’s no one worth voting for

Undecided= probably mostly non existent

Run a Bernie or AOC and pull far more “unlikely to vote” people off the bench than the handful of fence riders it’ll lose

No one who was going to vote for Joe wouldn’t vote for Bernie… It’s not like anyone is voting FOR Joe, they’re just voting against Trump, and if that means Bernie then so be it

The best we could get from the DNC would be to have Biden resign and Kamala step in… Technically she’d be “the incumbent”… She’d probably still lose though

Fear… At the bottom of it is always fear

They hate themselves… It’s all projection

Kinda seems like crime spiked during the pandemic, and now it’s actually just getting back to normal.

Over the next 100 years or so VR and haptic tech make it so people can become fully emersed in virtual reality. So pretty much everyone does. There are arguments on both sides, but eventually most people choose to live in their own world as a “god” with only VR interaction between one another. Everyone in VR stops having real kids, but thanks to AI improvements they can still have “kids”. Technology eventually allows people to plug in permanently while their bodies are maintained by AI and robots systems. Eventually their bodies die, but their consciousness has been captured enough by the system that no one knows or notices when their VR friends bodies die in reality.

In the real world a very small segment of society refuses to join the VR universe and pledge to remain in the real world. Maybe there’s some war in there because of this. Eventually though, the population of earth drops to maybe a few hundred thousand mostly wandering communal groups, while everyone else’s consciousness is in VR systems. This is good for the planet.

After a few thousand years, the people in reality have multiplied and built a better more equitable world, but have completely forgotten about the people in VR, and the automated buildings containing the computers have become buried and lost to time. Until one day someone stumbles across one of these ruins and begins interacting with the VR people again despite a mythical belief system that such technology is all bad.

Some shit happens and there’s a VR vs reality reckoning… Maybe some sort of Romeo and Juliet love story to keep it interesting.

That’s probably why they don’t seem interested in advertising Biden’s “accomplishments”… Instead just beating that Trump bad drum all day everyday

I’d say because Dems have been spending so much time telling everyone how horrible Trump is, that they forgot to mention why anyone might also consider Biden good

That bad apple has long since ruined the bunch

Where’s do you live that you have a pension and free healthcare?

Interesting… I assumed the down votes were most likely from Biden fans who hate it when people say him and Trump both suck.

And of course both sides of the establishment coin would down vote any hint of a suggestion that we need ranked choice voting

Tie it to inflation and end taxes on individuals… It makes no sense to distribute UBI and then tax it. Just tax the whole bill for society to the corporations. That incentivizes corporations to put pressure on each other to keep prices down and make products that last. There are definitely some industries that should be owned by the state though.

Probably selling them to our corrupt government… So we can all be left holding the bag

Huh, I wonder if any of those refugees they keep murdering might have been able to do some work?

I get the sentiment… But what we want is justice… Rape can never be justice… And jokes about raping someone just make you look… gross.

Remember… THEY are the monsters… Not us

People who sell bullets and bombs really want this

Okay, I get this… Hell I FEEL this, even though I only scroll through Lemmy. But let’s say I do want to stay informed, but don’t want it to just be info about the bad stuff: does anyone know of a good source that aggregates all the good stuff people are doing? Like what’s the squad up to? Who’s fighting to take back power from the corporations? Who’s fighting and winning? Who’s inventing ways to stop climate change? That kind of stuff… Not so much the cutsie “I have a crush on my husband” stuff
