Dems: Republicans are Nazis

Also Dems: we’re campaigning with Republicans!

Mustard Tiger

Here’s my surprised face 😐

Old people crew checking in to shout out Tux Racer!

Lina Khan is the most useful bureaucrat in at least a generation.

Yeah it’s a funny sign but ultimately useless. People who have lived through the last nearly decade dominated by Trump who still aren’t voting are either so disengaged that they just don’t see fighting Trump as an existential crisis or (and this is a much smaller group) see the system as so inherently fucked that they’re just not partaking in it.

But maybe nobody cares for analysis ruining a perfectly funny lawn sign.

(Disclaimer: these are just my thoughts on non voters, not my own position. I will be voting, and not for a racist, rapist, fascist)

“killed in surprise encounter” Makes it sound like he walked around a corner, saw them, and had a heart attack.

Well, at least now the cops are fully equipped to go into those schools and body slam 14-year-olds for using the F word.

No doubt. All I can hope for is more tech companies get the kind of backlash Unity saw when they decided to screw everyone over.

Same reason lots of us moved here from Reddit.

Because Enshittification

The 2022 Qatar World Cup was built largely by slaves, hundreds of whom died in the process. Nobody held them to account, so why wouldn’t they go to MBS’s Saudi Arabia?

Sigh, yet another enshittified service to cancel.

One more year of dual-booting should be plenty of time to ween off the Windows teat.

The future is stupid, we were promised jetpacks, not planned obsolescence mobility devices.

You’re right that Stein would have very little support in Congress if she won, but that’s not in the realm of possibility, but to say that lower office runs would do better as independents misses some of the peculiarities of the American electoral system:

• Elections in the United States are longer, more burdened with minutiae and uniquely expensive compared to other democracies. Without the organizational support of a 3rd party (mostly libertarian and green parties in the US as others lack numbers and resources), candidates struggle to even get ballot access for lack of money and volunteers getting signatures and clearing regulatory steps
• Speaking of regulatory hurdles, running a presidential candidate every four years in enough states maintains ballot access for down-ticket races

So you’re right that independent runs wouldn’t have the baggage that comes with third party association, but you’re missing that there are very real benefits to that association.

Of course, if we had public campaign financing and rank choice voting, working class voters could unite and not be divided against one another… Almost like it’s that way by design 🤷‍♂️

Sigh, of course that’s happening.

The Green Party does run candidates in more left-leaning areas… Not that they do a whole lot better in those races, but they do try more than just POTUS

I do this. It’s the best. You can buy used HP or Dell mini workstations on eBay for super cheap.

Full Linux, full ad blocking, full access to every streaming service instead of just whoever makes an app for your particular TV.

And with the enshittification of smart TVs injecting ads everywhere they can, keeping it disconnected is the only way to fly. Modern tech is like Skynet, you can’t let it connect or it’s the end of the world.

Mike Lindell did a Nazi dog whistle, not surprised.

Mike Lindell claimed he had no idea about how super Nazi it was: not surprised.

Yeah I’m not at all surprised it happened, I am surprised there was some sort of consequence, weak as it is.
