Also as a side note if anyone would like to help moderate this community please message me. I’ll try to respond in a day or two.

reddit was open source as well.

That’s not a constructive approach. Doing nothing just means Republicans completely disasemble what remains of democracy in the US.

It has not collapsed yet. Democrats are electing a new chair RIGHT NOW (I don’t know the date, but in the next few weeks).

They are going to elect a centrist. We can stop them. Now is the time.

If the new DNC is progressive and inspires people, it will prevent reluctant Republicans from going full scorched earth.

A progressive platform will win Democrats the white house for the next 20 years. Ask FDR how I know.

This, right now, is the final chance we have to prevent collapse.

Spread the word, share & cross post.

Please spread, cross post, share, whatever; wherever you can. People should have input into the democratic policy platform, but they’re so brazen as to say the “center is where we need to be”.

These people, these few hundred people, are a big problem with the democratic party.

We need to take the narrative back from centrists. It can be done by telling the DNC what to do, not the other way around.

You’re absolutely right, this is the fundamental problem. We need to find a progressive to run the DNC where Keith Ellison almost succeeded (he didn’t win).

Ken Martin is also one of a handful who will likely be elected chair next since the current chair is stepping down.

That’s a really precise breakdown and appears to hit the nail on the head.

What would be the most effective strategy to wake them up to the new political realities? Because I don’t think even this election did that.

I don’t think there is but at the same time I think an over reliance on the sanctity of neutrality benefits those who lie and misinform (ie current right wing news/media control political machine)

yes very true, but please don’t do that, lol. do it here —> !politicalhumor@lemmy.world

I don’t really know which journals are good/bad beyond the big names ones, nature, plos, elsevier, etc.

You won’t be banned for posting journal links. The only time that would happen was if it happened continuously and had a pattern and multiple reports. I don’t think there has ever been a permanent ban here.

Id recommend looking up your topic in a big name journal just to play it safe. Better science, less misinformation.

I’d like to build/find a list of the best journals to add to the sidebar.

It was hard to find but I believe it is 202-863-8000

Jaime Harrison is the DNC chair. https://democrats.org/jaime-harrison/

In my experience shit rolls downhill, so start at the top.

Join the discussion at !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world . It was a neutral space but now that we’re in fascist America neutrality is no longer acceptable.

The working class need a voice and the DNC is so completely clueless, so that communication needs to happen like an avalanche for anything to change.

good idea. I’ll add these to an unacceptable source list in the sidebar. Most of the reports have come from posts like that so I think a majority of people would agree with limiting posts from them.

I completely agree.

I liked askhistorians, as I felt like the moderation added to the quality a lot, but /r/science never seemed to achieve that level of quality. Though when they did start with the heavy moderation/clear rules with tags (I think flair was a later addition) it was a marked improvement off what it was before.

I’m open to suggestions, and I’ll just leave the draft rules up for awhile to get feedback.

Project 2025?

I pinned this. I don’t know if that’s the right thing to do or not, but I feel like being impartial is a trait honored only by the left and not the right, and look at where that’s gotten us as a country.

Perhaps it’s time to say to hell with impartiality, and call out poor policy for what it is. Wherever and whenever.

I don’t think that would be statistically significant. Exit polls are pretty accurate, and I don’t think anyone can deny Trump won in a landslide. Not that I’m happy about that. </democracy>

Damn it does. I mean giving everyone options to choose career and tech schools in lieu of public schools could actually improve education, but everything else there seems terrible.
