But I was told both sides are equally bad and that I should have stayed home or voted 3rd party /s
I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

Probably. They use “DEI” to mean anything they don’t like.
Made this months ago:
What’s the expression? “Every safety regulation is written in blood” ?
Good thing I’m not biased against Christians specifically. Fuck all religions equally - fair and balanced.
“The First Amendment clearly says “Congress shall make no law” and this is an executive order. Seems constitutional to us”
Supreme Court (probably)
Agree, but one thing McConnell typically had, even as Minority Leader, was his people in line. I’m not sure the dems will ever be able to form a solid block as fragmented as we all are. Doesn’t meant they shouldn’t try though.
At the one in my state (couldn’t attend, just read about it a few minutes ago), it was more of a demonstration with people speaking out against what’s happening at the federal and state levels. There were some chants, people telling their stories, airing their concerns, and lots of signs.
There’s footage of the event.
Yep. Though I set the bar low at two and he still failed.
Not the Matt Groening “To the laboratory” I was expecting but still good lol.
Sorry, but all my sympathy is being used for the victims of this administration that McConnell could have prevented not once but twice.
yeah, i hide that with UBO lol. that, or enable theater mode to get rid of it.
:sigh: Just turn off watch history and search history, clear both, and either search for what you want or subscribe and use the subscriptions page.
My YT homepage is blank and glorious.
Nothing good will ever come from suggestion algorithms.
There is no information on sportbots about how many accounts they have listed, but I’m guess it’s in the “high hundreds - low thousands” range.
That’s way too many bots for people to block. Yes, I’m aware there’s a setting to block all bots, but that’s too all or nothing.
If you insist on going that route, maybe stand up a dedicated instance like one of the other repost instances (and only post to local communities there) so people can just block that instance.
I don’t subscribe to anything, but I’d prob use it if I did. I only go to YT for one-off videos and just search for what I need.
Just turn watch history off and find your own way. My YT homepage is blank. Fuck suggestion algorithms.
“bOTh sIDez ArE thE saME!!!1!” amirite?
If anyone reading this is one of those “undecideds” or were banging the third party drum and are tired of hearing “we told you so”, well, bad news, buckaroos: You better buckle up because I’m just getting started.
commented this elsewhere, but the general idea is that by showing that an important contingent of the left won’t vote for a pro genocide president, the democrats will have no choice but to run a candidate that is electable in the future.
this means that trump might be president in 2024. That sucks, but most of the damage has already been done (supreme court, senate, etc). Might as well show the dems that they have to run a candidate that supports the rights of civilians all around the globe
@fart@sh.itjust.works This you? How’s that attitude working out for you now, huh? Hope your moral purity eases your conscious because this is partly on YOU.
Backup links since the post was deleted:
“Both sides are bad, so I refuse to vote for either”
“Democrats need to earn my vote”
"Well, yeah, Trump is definitely bad. I don’t want Trump. But I demand a pony and a blowjob. If the Democrats want my vote, they’re going to have to do more than just stop Trump from killing all the ponies. "
I am SO sick of this blame-shifting argument. Everyone who didn’t show up to vote for the only “not Trump” candidate likely to win is 100% partially responsible for what we’re dealing with now. Full stop. It’s not the Dem’s fault, it’s not the system’s fault, it’s not anyone’s fault except those who sat out or threw their vote away out of protest because they completely fail to even acknowledge the existence of a bigger picture.
Hurr durr, fascism is bad, but the other side isn’t perfect so I’m not voting against fascism to teach them a lesson.
There were two items on the menu: “Status Quo (flawed but not fascism)” and “Speedrun to Fascism”.
The fact that there are still people defending their decision to sit out / vote third party is mind boggling. At least if some of those would own up and say “I fucked up” I might have a shred of respect for them.
