gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Also companies just raise prices then blame inflation or blame the tariffs, just to increase their profits. Someone ran on investigating and prosecuting price gouging, the other is helping it happen. 0271

gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Fighting when you don't have the majority is an interesting concept. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 13/02/2025It's all projection from Phail Spencer. He has the backing of a 3T company but none of the required business naus because daddy would pay his bills if it didn't work out. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Focus on majority voting blocs first - message to them, do not prioritise minorities in the first instance but don't exclude them. Go back to issues that matter at lowest levels. This has been noted by at least 3 DNC chair candidates coming through. I've watched those interviews and they make sense. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 23/01/2025When I say "we", I am using that as a term for the group that got owned by Trump and Republicans in the previous election. I am part of that group. I'm glad many of the new DNC candidates have their head screwed on and are looking to fix the emphasis of the Democrat platform and messaging. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025The Harris campaign absolutely tried to avoid it. Unfortunately, you can't escape the historical trajectory of the Democratic party so those efforts were in vain. I watch a tonne of pro-Democratic long form channels and debate platforms, this problem is hotly debated. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025When Democrats had total power, why didn't they codify Roe v Wade? They lost focus. However, even women didn't vote with enough force to show they cared to save it when given the candidates that promised it. Gobsmacked. 010
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Yeah, remember that time where politicians were quoted exactly and everyone believed it. Riiiiiiiight. Democrats had no answer and they got wrecked. Stay in denial while Trump reverses everything. Bots never learn and that's a shame. I'm glad we have some fresh DNC leaders who aren't so dense. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Dense and in denial. Keep it up and keep losing. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Keep ignoring the Democrat party platform, that'll work. The Democrats failed badly. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025It's politics, if you can't message better than the other side, you lose. Why are people so dense. Pro Transgender don't win elections. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Exactly, Kamala tried to distance herself from the toxicity of the issue. Why don't people see this. If LGBTQ style issues win election then why wasn't it FRONT and CENTER? You can't escape the history of the Democratic party, Kamala tried to. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Kamala deliberately avoided this as it had become toxic for the Democratic campaign. I understand that people sympathetic to the cause don't see the over emphasis. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Both. Women are losing their rights but we are projecting concern about transgender bathroom use and transgender women competing in women's sports. Majorities were ignored in favour of minorities, when majorities are needed to gain power. We lost. 110
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Straw man. No wonder Democrats are in the ditch. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025My point being, to get into power, you need large voting blocs. With the over emphasis on LGBTQIA+ the Democratic party is alienating large swathes of men and women, who then vote for Trump. They aren't necessarily assholes but clearly the Democrats don't message in a way that says they matter. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I work in government, where do I start? Government programs driven from the top. Multiple monthly campaigns on LGBTQIA+ etc rights, projects and initiatives, it's an over saturation with zero for international men's day. Which group moved massively towards Trump? Not LGBTQIA+. New strategy required. 210
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Never said Democrats should just let them. Here we are, all the effort, post power and going backwards in time and rights. Clearly what Democrats are doing, is not working. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025They discriminate despite the Democratic efforts. So, what has to change to get back the majority and get back the power. Were basically screwed as none of the efforts mattered - they are all being wound back. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Nope. I didn't blame the victims at all. They are literally the victims of failed Democratic efforts to protect them. Trump is in power and they will suffer and that is a terrible outcome. I'm sure things will be different in the future - do the same, get the same result and lose again. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I'm not arguing that at all. I keep saying LGBTQIA+, you keep saying trans. Sure, trans is a trigger. Trans specifically has devolved into discussions on toilets rather than basic human rights. This is where we've allowed them to go and we get Trump. What we are doing has not worked at all.that.atthat's life 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Kamala clearly did not emphasise it in her campaign, an attempt to bring centrist and right voters into the fold. I won't fall for "all-in" but as a tenet of the Democratic platform and the Biden presidency, it is a prominent policy direction that was weaponised and contributed to losing power. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Cool - so we gave them a massive target, lost power and now we have Trump qgain. Short sighted overemphasized LGBTQ related thinking gave terrible people the motivation to mobilise and our side obviously didn't care enough. It is the wrong issue to focus on if we want power. Surely that is obvious. 200
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Yes they did but you can link that to an over exaggeration from left politicians which was weaponised directly by the right. I always vote left and it is suffocating how hard that stuff is pushed. The voting bloc isn't big enough on pro LGBTQ related issues and it contributed to Trump winning. 100
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Agree. The messaging is broken. Kamala didn't go there so much but if every initiative concludes with LGBTQIA+ etc positioning and basically ignores males, we end up here. LGBTQIA+ issues as a central pillar is not a winning strategy and was weaponised effectively against Democrats and worked. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Liberal thinkers did go OTT on transgender issues which is why it was so easily weaponised. However, a majority of the US population put egg prices above their care factor for women. This is the US, definitely not the greatest country in the world. We the people, just not those people. 300
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 18/01/2025It is so bizarre that the suits that gave us ridiculously massive generations like the PS4 mostly arrived at the same bullshit live service fad. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Upset that it existed and had to be cancelled. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Reminds me of this. Sony management has lost the plot. Put this dude in with no experience and you'll probably get better results. 010
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Watched Terrifier 1 a few nights ago. Brutal. Are T2 and T3 better? 110
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 27/12/2024How much air time can you fill by saying "Another insane click bait statement made by Trump, why did people vote for this moron?". Maybe they should try.people.voteHome - People Vote - Polls 010
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 22/12/2024No probs. I think you make better counter arguments than most of "XBox" or "PC" guests. They latch onto trivial reasons to disparage PlayStation but don't acknowledge the same for XBox and PC. That's bias and click bait 120
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 20/12/2024So moving from a both sides attempt at neutrality to being more pro-Republican.. the US is broken. 000
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Agree here, the XBox dude was just spewing total BS click bait. The PC guy was a little more reasonable but also a no. PR has a brand and that's not it. 120
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Wowzers.. Steam OS is good but not God level magic good. FPS would have been in eyeball bleed territory! 120
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Just hope the port is better via Nixxes. TLOU1 PC port was very average and a disappointment considering it released around the hype of the TV series. 120
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 15/12/2024I'm wondering how BlueSky is going to stop the rot from reappearing long term. Moving to a new platform means clean slate and the negativity hasn't latched on yet. Enjoying it so far. 120
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 06/12/2024They have the NC majority, so why are they fighting it? Is it so their insider dealing is not exposed? 120
gopodge.bsky.social @gopodge.bsky.social · 04/12/2024The Metallica cover version is pretty damn good as well! 110
