It's too bad that Democrats are also pro data center.
Yes. But it is important to note that ACTUAL Democrats and left wing candidates in local elections are not the same as the corporate neoliberals
How in the ever loving fuck do you figure that? Democrats are a neoliberal party from the top down. The only places they allow leftists to actually run are places they'd win as a third party anyway. Democrats exist to stop the left just as much as Republicans.
Uh, no they aren't because they have democratic socialists and social Democrats? What do you mean?
You think Bernie, AOC, Tallarico, Ilhan Omar, etc are all neoliberals?
Please don't, we already have to fight all of these blue magas without takes like this.
I know that the corporate Democrats (neoliberals) are funding maga against the left. That's my issue with them. But the party does have good people in it although they are not in control at all right now
Yes, Talarico is a neoliberal. He literally just reversed his stance on trans athletes. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/james-talarico-walks-back-stance-145115175.html
Is your definition of neoliberal "anyone who doesn't agree with me on 100% of issues?"
If not, can you give examples of issues that someone could disagree with you on which would not get them branded as a "neoliberal"?
Yes. That's what I was referring to. They seem to be reasonable neoliberals that are not pushing away the left and actively attack MAGA. They should get kudos for that.
*Note that it sounds like his decision on the trans athlete thing was what I was praising but I'm talking about his focus on the working class and holding maga feet to the fire
I just....... What.....
You don't agree that Ossof and Tallarico are reasonable? There are some over there that are attempting to read the room. Even Obama endorsed Al-Sayad.
You can see the hate I get for pointing out the problems with the Dems but I will still give credit where it is due. But the party leadership and committees are completely captured
The problems with the data centers are not the data centers. It's the missing environmental regulations. Democrats have some ideas about that.
Incorrect, but nice try. The problem with the AI society destruction machines is the fact that they are AI society destruction machines.
That's on another page, and is only vaguely related to the pushback against data centers.
As we’ve seen with the Trump administration, environmental regulations can be rolled back at any time. Better to oppose them at every step than allow the oligarchs to sneak them in with false promises.
