Voters are saying “I am going to be homeless and can’t even afford bread”. The Democrat response to this is “stop being racist, the economy is fine”.

I’m really not sure what anyone expected besides failure from this.

It sucks because some of the agencies were doing good work, especially the mounting attacks on landlords and monopolists/oligopolists, which are necessary but will almost certainly end now. Honestly it felt like they wanted to lose, having learned nothing from 2016.

Lost to Trump again, opinion discarded

I mean at that point just call it Bleed lol

Paper without some sort of code to hide what’s happening isn’t much better, considering if something ever happens you could get searched.

This comment once again proving that when you hit a lib, a fascist cries out.

The poor have a lot less to lose than you do. This isn’t going to change much for them, so it was on people like you to convince them to vote. Promising nothing besides “Not Trump” isn’t going to cut it. Try actually helping them for a change instead of blaming them and then wishing they get fucked, you god damned psychopath.

What does getting bigger actually accomplish? I’ve been through enough Eternal Summers to know it sucks to lose a place you like to the swarm of terminally online bootlickers who infest every place that actually has people they can rule over. I’m good

You need clearer language? Only immature people worry about being “grown up”, well-adjusted people just get on with it.

Normie filter, based in Canada, less tankies, fun name. I mean those are strong selling points.

“when you grow up” is what people say when their skin starts to grow over the mask they wear.

I got tired of half-assing being someone else. Frankly I’m too busy to bother.

“I can’t link this, it doesn’t fit within my corporate values!”

Yeah that’s why I’m here. The name makes this place much more difficult for corpo scum to infest it.

“Trickle-Upon Economics” really does capture the vibe and the reality of the experience.

we get more fascist every election cycle

And whose fault is that? When you give your vote away for free you get rightward drift. Make the fuckers earn it instead of leaving the switch on Vote Blue No Matter Who like the good little liberal you are.

One whole paragraph followed by a comment like that implies someone is usually talking about the whole episode going on and not just the keywords you singled out.

Ok I’ve heard all kinds of different reasons someone might be privileged, but doing work on the ground for years and laying the groundwork for real activism rather than whatever the hell you call this terminally online bullshit, is now what you people call privilege?

This shit is why Occupy died.

It’s like when Bush Jr. pushed for the adoption of reading programs across America that focused on phonics, so people took a rebellious stance and taught kids “balanced reading” which taught kids to memorize words rather than the sounds that make up words.

The result: an epidemic of illiteracy to own the Republicans. Bush was/is a warmongering piece of shit but he was right about phonics being the correct way to read.

I’ve never seen self-proclaimed leftists hurl more vitriol than when an openly-socialist labor organizer in my union said they were for freedom of speech (for humans) and generally supportive of firearm ownership. Absolutely wild reaction.

Here in Canada I’ve seen much the same behaviour for both Liberal and Conservative voters. “I vote Liberal because I’ve always voted Liberal” is a surprisingly common statement especially among the older generations, and to a small extent even the Green party has a few loyalists in BC.

Always voting the same way no matter what happens is just giving your vote away for free.

It doesn’t help that the Rust community tends to bring extremely divisive politics with it in places and ways that just don’t need to happen, starting battles that aren’t even tangentially related to programming.

The alternative is to just keep getting fucked by Microsoft…
