That's because you aren't counting all of the super duper extra-secret Marxists!
Which, by the way, I'd never heard about until Obama was elected. Weird coincidence. I am sure there is nothing correlated to a certain unique attribute of that President compared to everyone that came before him. No need to look into it further.
Accurate, but up until the last 6 years or so that was the Big Lie that the GOP sold itself by for many decades. It was "party of small government" and abortion as their only real platform items that a general voter could care about, until Trump came along and started saying all of the ~~quiet~~ racist stuff out loud and took over the entire party.
Again, so what?
You seem to be suggesting that the only thing a political party should talk about are things it can accomplish immediately and unilaterally. That's not how politics works and never has been.
FWIW, Wefwef is a progressive web app, not a native app.
Workaround: create a Lemmy account and subscribe to your favorite Kbin magazines.
So the Dems could only pass laws they support one time in the last 50 years? That's an absurd argument.
When is the last time a Democratic candidate or elected representative promoted legislation to legalize abortion? Not just talk, not just campaigning as pro-choice. Actual action of any kind. Compare that to the number of times a Republican did the opposite. Whether these actions were plausible to succeed is irrelevant.
Democrats coasted on the free PR without actually doing anything to ensure this very important right was protected.
Who nominated and approved those appointments?
There really hasn't been enough (any, from what I've seen) blowback on the Democrats for not pro-actively defending a woman's right to body autonomy. There was a chance to frame this in a way that would be appeal to the personal liberties crowd on the right, and there were plenty of opportunities to push for a legal backup.
Considering the GOP spent my entire lifetime with abortion as its primary PR weapon (until racism made a surprise comeback to take the top position in 2016), it's crazy that Dems didn't see the weakness of Roe as a real threat that they needed to get in front of.
Abortion is and has been incredibly popular in general, but like always the Dems were scared of pissing off the right even though they will be portrayed as evil commies no matter what they do.
I run everything off a Synology NAS using Docker, except for Plex which runs directly so I can take full advantage of hardware transcoding.
I also have a separate mini-computer for Home Assistant. That runs on HA Blue, which was the limited run predecessor to Home Assistant Yellow. May seem silly to have separate hardware, but I was tired of my whole system going offline every time I needed to reboot HA (which means possibly interrupting a family or friend watching a remote Plex stream, the horror!)
Not all smart devices are intercompatible with each other, but Home Assistant is agnostic and tries to work with everything. Most people tend to have automations based on things that Alexa or Google Assistant can't handle.
It may be overkill if you only have a few smart lights that Alexa can handle, but once you have a hundred or more different devices... yeah, managing all of that becomes pretty complicated!
If you share your Plex library with friends and family like I do, highly recommend looking into Overseerr! I had tried using OMBI before but it was a pain to get set up--actually I never succeeded and gave up. Overseerr was very simple, just another Docker container like so many others, really. Integration with Radarr and Sonarr was seamless for me.
I would assume that Biden said that because he knows it is not practical and would be a waste of his limited time and political power.
Obama made a similar compromise in not pushing for single payer but instead focusing on the compromise that became the ACA. He used basically all of his first term to get that passed, and while it may not have gone far enough for a lot of progressives--including myself--I sure am glad we have that instead of nothing!
