It’s so horrible. Fuck all of who voted for this shit.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 43 pts · 229d (22 replies)

And fuck everyone who encouraged not voting or voting third party. At least according to the principles they supposedly hold, they'd be even more culpable since they fucking knew what's at stake.

Hey I'm not getting my checks from Russia as quick as I used to any more, are you noticing that too?

Yeah ever since I stopped saying BoOOoOotH SiDeS every 20 minutes, payment has been spotty.

I was one of those people who was encouraged people to get ‘Free Speech’ ‘Democracy Now’, ‘Rising Up with Sonali’ & some many even more Independent & Left programs educated about:
‘The Crazy Don’,
Joe ‘The Original of The Dem. “90+% Capitalist” Party Seller-Out of The People to Rich-Very Rich Economic Classes/Owners Biden & then Kamala ‘Like Obama Just A Minority Sell-Out, Clone of Biden Policies’ Harris,
The Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party & The Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party
& TO VOTE POLITICALLY LEFT!

In most not all political issues, some issues it is flipped between the two-

The Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party is walking us in the same direction that The Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party are- to the end of everything

The Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party is running us (with ‘The Crazy Don’ as fast as possible) to the end of everything, including whatever our governments have practiced for 250-years, it never was or ever achieved Democratic Representative Republic-Liveable Planet & All Living Beings!

Are you an LLM? That was hallucinatory as fuck.

Nope, never 'fucking' people trying to change the broken system by establishing a third-party. I'll keep blaming people actually responsible.

Irate1013@lemmy.ml · 13 pts · 229d

In a first-past-the-post voting system with winner-take-all representation, it’s literally impossible for a 3rd party to be elected to the presidency. If you’re really committed to changing that, you’d vote for the people who are more likely to enact ranked choice voting and proportional representation (regardless of party)… and only at the local/state level since that’s where voting laws and regulations are made. Voting 3rd party for president does nothing but dilute the vote of the intended opposition party. Greens dilute the Dem vote, Libertarians (both big and small) dilute the Republican vote. To pretend otherwise plays right into the game the two big parties have always played.

There have been like 3 times at the national level in America where voting third party actually worked. It is very clearly a problem, but voting third party doesn't fix that problem.

Fix the problem that makes a 2-party system the only viable option, then vote for third parties. Or stay home and drink or get high. The results for the political landscape will be much the same. Granted, at this point in the game, you're likely better off waiting for the collapse of America and putting something more effective in the new constitution.

Good thing you tried to insult me with a made up take that isn't only not mine, not anybody's

lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -5 pts · 229d

Wrong - but I have in the past and I will in the future, for sure.

circuscritic@lemmy.ca · -20 pts · 229d (6 replies)

Yes, we owe the Democrats our votes no matter what they do, or don't do.

I now realize that the Democratic party didn't fail their voters or America, we failed them.

Thank you for showing me the light.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 229d (3 replies)

Weird, somehow I already tagged you as 'both sides' and then you said this. Big time coincidence.

mycodesucks@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 229d (2 replies)

Don't engage. He's chosen his path and there's nothing to be said to convince him. Let him be content with his choices without external criticism or validation. It's like being angry at a bear for shitting in the woods - it's just its nature. There's nothing to be gained here. Save your energy for causes that aren't yet lost.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 229d

Btw, I wasn't being sarcastic here if that's how it came across.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 229d

You make good points. Thank you.

easy to argue against straw men ain't it.

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · -1 pts · 228d

I guess if you just create the argument in your head, it's pretty easy to shut it down huh

That's fucking sad

Teal@lemmy.zip · 58 pts · 229d (3 replies)

An absolute crime, just like every other act of the current administration.

Janx@piefed.social · 9 pts · 229d (2 replies)

It's sad, but they're out there committing actual crimes.

Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 229d

And a main reason they're getting away with it is because they're eliminating the news sources they don't own and control. That's why this is an actual crime.

Teal@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 229d

You’re right they are. So many that I think they feel the general public will stop paying attention. Even though some roadblocks to crazy town have been lifted by his own people hopefully this madness ends sooner rather than later.

There was a learning game I've used in my classroom for the last three years. I tried to use it this year and it has been lost to budget cuts.

mushroommunk@lemmy.today · 28 pts · 229d (1 reply)

What was the game? I know some tech people who love supporting teachers, maybe we can bring it back somehow?

multifariace@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 228d

Make A Mangrove

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 229d

Which game was it?

I just signed up to give $10/mo to my local PBS station
