How about we get someone who can win in a swing state so we can avoid Trump? Because right now from the polling it looks like Biden can’t.

I’d vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there’s voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.

Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don’t vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I’ve been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.

If the dems shove it down our throats I’m still voting for him, but there’s still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.

The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren’t dangerous. The typical rules about “don’t aim at something you don’t want to destroy” doesn’t apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.

That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.

American Nations is probably the worst pop-history books I’ve had the displeasure of reading. Its chock full of backwards rationalizations, just-so narratives, and glaring misconstructions and omissions.

Any assessment of modern society based on this author is immediately suspect and we should honestly stop letting him write for any serious publication.

Excellent, now we have a reason to chant “USA 🇺🇲 USA 🇺🇲” until we sink due to rising sea levels.

Realistically any Libertarian dedicated enough to show up to a party conference is probably a member of the 1% of the US population that votes for them in general elections.

Now when I’m lazy and don’t support some standards in my open source projects, I’m just going to say its for security.

So we’re using Bush era torture to justify inaction against fascism? Idk man seems a little weird.

I get voting isn’t enough and half the problem is people often limiting their involvement in society to a ballot once every four years, but I’d really like to prevent The Palestinian Chair from being used on anyone deemed an enemy of the state by a man who is talking about deporting 11 million people.

404 Media is worker owned; you should pay them.

Casablanca. Its a classic.

Plenty of people rooted for the Lions and they wore brown bags over their heads.

Trump lost and people are still buying flags and hats.

I think we’ll be stuck with this cult for awhile.

I wouldn’t be so confident that his support will wane. People love a martyr and thats what hes protraying himself as.

All that isnt to say he shouldn’t be prosecuted, but I’d expect his support to jump in the short term.

Idk man, theres not too much debate on who to vote for. There’s a clear lesser evil and theres an avowed fascist. The quoted paragraph just reaffirms what his one sentence says, that voting isn’t sufficient.

I like the pamphet. I think it hits most everything important. If you only vote and the entirety of your efforts are spent on electoralism and not direct action, its a lot if wasted time. But if you cant even take 20 mins to vote every 2 years, or worse you’re advocating people who aren’t fascist sit it out, you need to rethink what you’re doing.

Ultimately, there’s no reason the strategies of voting and direct action can’t both be applied together. One does not cancel the other out.

It’s like you didn’t even look at your own pamphlet. It backs up his exact statement.

What’s far more likely than 3d printed prosthetics becoming fashonable is people just rolling over and accepting the distopian surveilance state.

I can’t even get most of my family to use Signal to prevent Facebook from reading their private messages, what could happen to convince them to go full cyberpunk?

Snyder needs someone to tell him a movie should have both character development and a cohesive plot in at most 2 hrs.

I’m done with him deferring blame for not being able to put together a clean narrative.

No. This is basically why you use native apps. What you could do is set up another profile on Android and you should be able to sign in on a different account for that profile and get notifications.
