I’ll vote Dem, but I am ashamed beyond measure of the Dem party. Despite the public doing all they can to stop Trump, the actual candidates running against Trump are sitting on their asses and refusing to take serious action. This “Blue Wave” is not approval FOR Harris-Walz, but rather DISAPPROVAL for Trump. Dems are ultimately more responsible for fascism in the U.S. than their voters.

All in all, the entire United States Government is at fault. This is just one reason why I want an independent Cascadia.

Despite my Anarchist leanings, I still hate Tea-Partiers for their disregard for human life.

I mean, that wouldn’t just solve the climate crisis, that would also get people to talk to each other, help people exercise, cut down on pollution…

Well, they’re more Islamophobic than anti-Semitic.

It’s a low-quality absurdist post. The joke is that waaaay too many people who aren’t feminists are Nazis, child molesters, unwashed people, etc.

Just throw all of them into prison Stalin-style. Religion never deserved to be protected as a right.

I should’ve scaled down the image a bit. I suppose people have gotten used to images being really huge over the years due to using the same sites

The joke is that anti-feminists usually end up being overweight pedophiles and Nazis. I thought the community was for jokes; is there some hidden rule that wasn’t shown?

How the fuck will this reach people who believe the government is controlled by Jews who employ space lasers and drag queens?

Immeasurably great reporting. This was painful to yet, but a blessing to know.

People have gotten sick and tired of r/pics having loads of political content, and while some candidates are better than others, many people are sick and tired of seeing “orange man bad” yet again. The people who were supposed to be propaganda targets immediately knew this was propaganda and the rampant election posts didn’t make Harris more popular. If this plan is enacted, people will see the astroturfing straightaway, and more people will see Trump supporters as bothersome cultists than as freedom fighters. It doesn’t help that, if pro-Trump people can brigade the sub, so can anti-Trump people, and the whole debacle will just get shut down.

This is just sad. How will this not get people sick and tired of it?

Lemmy is not malfunctioning like Reddit is. It is not reliant on a dogshit mobile app that constantly breaks down; it is not overrun by reposts; it has no excessive advertisements. And there is far less manufactured outrage and misinterpreted socialism on Lemmy. And that’s not even getting into the fact that is is an app. Hooooooooly shit, I just hate apps on a smartphone as a maxim. That tiny fucking phone screen makes writing comprehensively, and citing sources, like trying to stack d10s using woolen gloves. It has all sorts of trinkets and rewards for browsing the damn app too (I suppose the admins know they have to goad you in), and any third-party apps trying to solve these problems were left without support. “No better” my fucking ass.

And the reason things are so bleak is because most people only have words to go off of, rather than actions.

Showing up to a protest is also an action. So is smashing someone’s car. Do you think you can feed the hungry purely by posting thoughts on social media?

I blame the attempt to make devices user-friendly. Convenience kills skill.

I hate it, but it’s preferable to Anarcho-Capitalism.

It wasn’t a burn, it was just the obvious truth.

Yeah, Drumpf is too old for office and can’t understand how money works imo. It’s not even the Dictatorship On Day One deal. Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte could, at least, solve a great many of their people’s problems. Drumpf and Vance aren’t even doing that. It’s a bit exhausting having almost every U.S. politician cramming into the D-Party, but after this whole fiasco, it’ll split up.
