my vote had no effect
Yeah, but not for the reasons you think. It’s because you deeply don’t understand anything about how US government works and what plays to your elections. Simultaneously you claim that you know what strategy Democratic party should adopt to win.
You have zero idea how popular progressive ideas among voters, because you motherfuchers don’t vote. Random polls means nothing if they aren’t followed by votes, and they aren’t.
Last time they run they were running much more conservative campaign with an old white dude woth much more conservative platform and they won. That’s also not the whoe story of course, but this explanation fit more precisely than yours.
We’ve tried every thing in our power
Oh my. Have you tried voting for the candidate you like? Bernie lost popular vote (I repeat, popular vote) (I repeat again, popular vote) twice when he was nominating. Have you and your hoards of silent majority, tried sending a fucking mail twice in a decade?
Again, if you all did, that’s an indication that there is not enough of you and US is a conservative shithole where most of the people want monstrous policies.
If you didn’t, that means you aren’t citizens, and your opinion doesn’t matter for the purposes of the government, you’re children and should be treated as such.
I don’t know which is worse.
You keep yelling at them to do what you want. But if you’re such a formidable power to influence the elections, you could’ve done it already, in a way that was clearly presented to you.
You didn’t.
That means that either you overestimate the number of people that think like you, or all of you don’t know or care how to participate in democracy.
Both of those options mean you know jack shit about what to do to win the elections, and can only yell on social media.
That by the way says nothing about the validity of your claims, you could be morally correct and advocate for objectively good things, but if they aren’t getting you in power, it doesn’t matter.
Social security number of a supreme court judge. In highnsight it didn’t make much sense so they blacked it out
there are laws
Ahahah. Oh wait, you’re serious, let me laugh even harder
How exactly does it break for you? I use vanced and then revances constantly since the day one of its existence, and don’t remember it breaking once.
To be honest, it’s also very easy for a big corporation to take over Lemmy if they really try. They have the money to have fast servers and unlimited traffic and all the promotion, grassroots or otherwise. They don’t do it because right now Fediverse is a small collection of opinionated individuals and it’s not worth it trying to control it.
To be faaaair, you needs to be a ten-ply hick with a treasure trail to ever have a problem with Canada goose
It’s so good that most of the og tobacco barons are dead and don’t have much power, otherwise current admin would be introducing mandatory smoking right about now
There was a period of time when streaming video from the official sources was more convenient than piracy and that was worse the price for a lot of people. Their greed eneded this time.
their bones are fragile and once a wing is broken, it’s game over for them.
Your eyes are also very fragile and once they’re gone it’s over for you, and big birds are very well equipped for that.
And geese can bite your nuts.
I am not confident enough about both of those.
Large dog will fuck up most of humans 9 times out of 10.
Absolutely nothing vague about what I said. Authoritarian regimes are very careful about their external image and employ a lot of propaganda to maintain it. The closer a piece of mefia to the authoritarian regime the more lies there will be.
To address inevitable whataboitism, it’s not their exclusive deal, oligarchs and wannabe oligarchs also lie on the internet, but it’s not the point
There is a fundamental difference between a chatroom and a social media feed. The second one is painfully easy to hijack to do some damage, the first one not so much.
Daamn, it’s so nice that nobody invented lying on Chinese internet yet, otherwise shit would be so embarrassing
A very long dictatorship but actually not a lot of boats. Most were either seized or sunk. Bitches however are plenty, he made the whole country his bitch. It’s debatable how happy it made him
That’s even worse actually. Putin did exactly that to be the only one who controls the media, and look what it got him
Believe it or not, there was Internet communication before social media.
That’s good, commendable, and necessary. But it might not be enough. I don’t think we are at the point of murder yet, but we are definitely past the point of just voting.
Ao you’re on board with golden Trump statue instead of the strip then?
