Do they even know that??
Being good for a group of people is not the same as them knowing that you've been good for them. This is eternally where Democrats fall flat on their faces.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Of course not. Their media is controlled by them. It may be worse than fox now.
Honestly, Lemmy is probably worse than Reddit at challenging a comment like this, but it's better than the shit my father in law turns on when he drives my child around. Challenge it.

The power posters tend to be the same Reddit shills and eternal optimists that dominated the old platforms. Who the hell actually even reads The Hill on the reg, anyway? Much less feels the urge to repost it to social media as frequently as this guy? He's been on the site for 3 months and already posted nearly 2k times, all from a handful of mainstream news outlets.
Do they even know that??
Big number go up things get better. What else do you need to know?
Falling literacy rates? Rising infant mortality? Declining life expectancy? Pollution? 100-degree weather stretching into the Fall? Collapsing infrastructure and rising cost-of-living? Ballooning household debt in the face of wages that continue to fall relative to the value of assets and equities?
Stfu, idiot. You just don't understand economics. Life in the de-industrialized midwest has never been better. Say thank you and go back into your living holes. Be grateful things aren't worse.
The picture of a pair of boomer ass landowners is not helping them with the message
If you were already a PMC with a bunch of invested cash and property, you'll be happy to know that the 80-year-old insurance industry flak turned bagman for the Obama administration turned white savior for the liberal establishment is going to be propping those inflated asset prices up one more business cycle.
But if you're watching Congress go into another round of cut-backs on domestic services, privatization of education and health care, ramping up of the national security state, and war-mongering abroad while the President rubber stamps it all... well... maybe just shut up and Vote Blue No Matter Who because the alternative to the Kyrsten Sinema Senate will be even worse.
