The US isn’t a good democracy, and unfortunately our system is not only unfair but makes third party votes very stupid
But there’s no way to make his comments not make sense here— he talks about insane asylums, then brings up an iconic fictional insane person
I mean I don’t like Trump at all but he’s very obviously kidding every time he does the Hannibal Lector reference (he makes this one pun over and over about “having you for dinner,” laughs, uses a sarcastic tone, and notes how the media gets upset) and he was pretty clearly kidding with the baseball comment too.
Still in development but Lighttube seems interesting and uses its own backend.
…still more than Trump would, no?
…so maybe vote for the guy who can be controlled by protests, and not the guy who wouldn’t care about not-his-base protesting?
Votes are earned not deserved.
…no. in our pretty bad first past the post system, we shouldn’t vote for a good candidate. We should vote for the best, or least bad one.
Less voter turnout wouldn’t influence the system at all, and even if it did, there are not enough people with your views— your 80% figures— to pull something like that off. Maybe wait.
Because right now, yes both possible candidates won’t stop the major genocide going on, but one would actively do less harm to queer people, women, etc.
Voting is for harm minimization, not endorsement.
Hexbeara are definitely wrong about things… But I have never seen them do anti-Semitism. And the Nazis really can’t be considered socialist— you can disapprove of socialism without lying or being misinformed and claiming that the Nazis were socialist—Hitler essentially joined and took over what maybe at some point was a pro worker party. They killed like a lot of communists.

What? No, the reason RT is bad is because it’s specifically Russian government bad. It’s like Qatar and Al-Jazeera, but even less distance.
The problem is not that RT is not CIA controlled or that it’s not pro western, it’s that it’s literally one of the parties involved.
RT is Russian controlled, this is like trusting All Jazeera saying “Qatar is good”
They use tensor?
Fergie Chambers, a 39-year-old self-proclaimed communist with a net worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Chambers’ wealth comes from his father’s family’s company, Cox Enterprises, a global conglomerate with automotive and media holdings, including AutoTrader, Kelley Blue Book, Cox TV, the political site Axios, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. With a fortune of some $26.8 billion, the Cox family, a powerful force in Atlanta philanthropy, made the second-largest contribution in 2022 toward the training facility, with their foundation providing $10 million of a planned $60 million in private funding. (Georgia taxpayers are putting up $31 million.)
In contrast, Chambers estimates he’s donated “a couple million dollars” in the last year to groups opposing the very facility that high-profile members of his family want to be built. Not only has he financially supported signature gathering for the referendum, he’s sponsored buses to shuttle protesters to the site, and contributed “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to funds that paid for bail and lawyers for those who had been arrested.
While the broader Cox family’s political reputation is squarely centrist, Chambers’ is somewhere in the vicinity of Chairman Mao. When we spoke—after a few weeks of phone tag that involved me missing some pre-dawn calls back from Chambers—he seemed to relish defying mainstream orthodoxy, calling Russian President Vladimir Putin “one of the better statesmen of our century,” and describing Hamas’ October 7 attack as “a moment of hope and inspiration for tens of millions of people.” While he denies a recent claim in Los Angeles Magazine that he chants “death to America” every day, he allows that the idea is more or less true. “I think the most important thing for the prosperity of humanity is the destruction of the US,” he told me.
I have the opposite. I have never a reason to turn off Bluetooth, but always want to connect of disconnect devices. this is so much better than long pressing.
But there’s no reason to believe you’ll reach the extinguisher, it’s pretty much impossible in first past the post.
I assume Lemmy user there was referencing the “Democrats are center right” line, which isn’t wrong, but also it’s clear what the person they were replying to meant.
What do you call a Lemmy user again? Lemmite?
I have the Palma. I use it mostly just to read, and I prefer it to when I had a kindle purely for portability.
