  • Absolutely a good point. Californians get fucked in senate voting power compared to some dickhead religious voter from a small red state. It’s a travesty that California and New York have the same amount of Senate representation as North and South Dakota.

    Then you have lifetime judicial appointments. Trumpf was able to get 3 Supreme Court judges in during his 4 years. The impact will last a generation or two at least.

    The corruption at the highest levels is open and astounding. PACs can basically buy elections. Insider trading is also normalized in Congress by both sides.

    Religious fundamentalists have infiltrated all levels of government and are pushing for a Christian Theocracy. Very similar to what is happening in India. Religion has NO place in politics.

    The US is not a good example of a democracy. There are Conservative Republicans (far right), Maga Republicans (Fascist) and Democrats (Center right). Nothing much in between as the system is designed for only 2 parties.

    Also, when was the last time a republican won the popular vote? This is proof enough the US is a poor democracy as the will of the people is ignored because of the electoral college.



  • This will really legitimize and mainstream the platform!

    I am a Boost for Reddit User, but have seen Sync and it is well designed. Jerboa is cool but it is not there yet. The experience the dev from Sync brings to Lemmy will be amazing.

    Not asking for features but would be good if kbin is included with it so that user fragmentation is limited. I still don’t really understand the difference with Lemmy but it’s cool.
