This is more accurately a right wing talking point about Bernie. A quick search will turn up many articles such as this one from the 2016 elections. One thing to keep in mind is that he doesn't introduce as many bills as some of his peers, but has had great success in passing amendments to bills.

Perfect? No. Unaccomplished? Absolutely no.

I appreciate you pulling all of this together. My only issue with it is that it ascribes a religious reason for Trump and such reasoning denies the, very scary, human reason for Trump. Religion, here, is providing a reason and that reason is so much more comforting than the reality that we've allowed fascism to take over our country and religious institutions.

I wish it was the "end of days", but, in reality, this is just more human suffering and more to come. I wish we weren't capable of this.

I got what you meant, it works for me on Jeroba. Tapping on the image, in comments, brings up the image viewer and you can zoom in/out.

Mine does, just tap on the image to bring it up by itself and zoom to your heart's content.

What is the web comic this comes from? I tried zooming in on the text at the bottom but it artifacted too much to read.

The problem with these types of redundancy schemes is that it simply takes a Internet backbone hiccough (or AWS fuck up) to cause there to be multiple primaries (i.e. lemmy.world is online still, but some portion of the internet can't see it, so a replica promotes itself to primary, people use both, how do you reconcile it).

This is not even beginning to talk about the nightmare scenarios possible if someone hacks a replica.

Edit: Still, this is a good thought and similar to how some actual software packages do things.
