I don't have any issues with the lemmy interface.

I'd rather they don't mess it up to appease people who prefer reddit's interface, old or new.

That's fair.

I wish Bernie could win, but he's really just too old now for the position. It's a shame democrats showed their priorities in their primaries; they'd rather have trump over someone that actually tries to reduce the disparity in wealth.

Trying to conflate the two makes it appear as though you're trying to trick your audience. It's not a good look and we can be better than that.

I agree, but framing it like this just gives the other side an opportunity to call bullshit.

Why give them the ammo?

I kept saying this, and I'm glad others are realizing it.

He steamrolled tariffs because it's a tax on the working class. He will never raise taxes for the ruling class.
