It's not just the US, it's been happening for years in other countries like the UK as well.

Traditionally there has been one party that is for working people and another for capital and the owner class.

The right has been getting further and further into far right authoritarianism. That posed a problem for the Dems going back to the Clinton Presidency: do they stick with being the party of working people or do they try to have their cake and eat it by tacking to the center and assuming that the working class will continue to vote for them no matter what?

It largely worked for a time and gave Obama two terms but ever since then they have been susceptible to criticism that they're out of touch, elitists, entitled, and that they look down their nose at working people whilst still assuming that they will get their vote, which opened the door to Republicans.

You can't serve two masters for very long, you can't be the party of working people while being run by upper middle class graduates. You can't claim to care about the people with the least while cozying up to CEOs and megadonors. Sooner or later it all falls apart, as it did with Hillary Clinton's run, where working people disliked her elitism and she didn't have enough support from elsewhere to make up the shortfall. That should've been a warning. Instead they doubled down.

The problem in the US is that there are only two viable parties. The Dems won't go back to being the party of working people because they wouldn't know how to do that even if they wanted to. What happens when the Trump Presidency turns out to be a disaster?

Yorkshire Tea Gold, a little agave and a splash of milk.

All religions exist to be twisted by the worst people on the planet, same as it ever was.

That's not what I said, not even close.

That doesn't apply to Senate and Presidential races though.

Trump’s vote was largely static. He didn’t add significant support in any way.

That's my point. Trump is a known quantity now and he didn't lose support. That's a failure of the US electorate.

Ask yourself why Harris had to run a near perfect campaign to even stand a chance of winning while Trump ran a campaign that should've seen him lose badly, in a more informed and moral country, and still won.

Some immigrants, once they become established in a country, will then seek to stop other immigrants, even of the same ethnicity, culture or ancestry, from doing what they did. They'll pull up the ladder behind them.

What size is the membrane separating one point in time from another? If the membrane is the size of the observable universe we wouldn’t see a difference. If it’s the size of your living room you’d be fucked because your living room only exists at any given point in space time for a very very short time.

I get that you're upset but having a tantrum and accusing people you don't even know of helping Trump is dumb.

Now do latinos and suburban women.

Singling out a single demographic for the target of your ire isn't helpful.

 

Stacey Williams says the ex-president, whose spokesperson denied the allegations, touched her in an unwanted sexual way in 1993, after Epstein introduced them.

 

A few spring to mind because they're in movies I like:

Broken Hill, Australia - Wake in Fright, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Tocopilla, Chile - Where Alejandro Jodorowsky grew up and shot his last two movies.

Isle Royale, Michigan - It's an island in a lake with a lake in it that has an island.

 

Despite a legal attempt to stop it, documentary The Bibi Files, which shows leaked interrogation footage of the Israeli prime minister, made its debut at the festival

 

This one hurts.

 

Robert F Kennedy Jr, the third-party candidate for US president, said a health problem he experienced in 2010 “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died”

 

One of the best albums I've heard. Some late night vibes.

 

 

I'm not exactly a linux beginner but I'm far from an expert and I could use some pointers. I have a domain and a VPS through Namecheap, I chose Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP and I've tried several guides to get this working but something always goes wrong sooner or later.

My latest attempt is to follow along with this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

No errors until the docker-compose up -d command, then

ERROR: yaml.constructor.ConstructorError: while constructing a mapping in "./docker-compose.yml", line 26, column 12 found unhashable key in "./docker-compose.yml", line 26, column 13

which leads to image: {{ lemmy_docker_image }}

I guess I could start over with a different guide but I'm just chasing my tail at this point. Could any kind soul suggest where to go from here?
