I don't really use this account anymore because of .world. It's the nazi-bar problem, but with genocidists instead. If Nexus defederates, I'd start using this account again, because I like PieFed better (sorry lemmy devs!)
But as long as any instances federates with .world, I'm out.
If I wanted to waste my money- it put it towards supporting untested and unproven 3rd party candidates...
Yet you are more than willing to waste your money on supporting a party that has proven that they are't willing to defeat a corrupt administration, even when they have all the power?
What’s Jill Stein been up to lately? Anyone know? Cornell West? Anyone?
Giving speeches, teaching, doing interviews and debates. I know, because I saw them. It turns out, that when you don't pay attention to someone, you end up not knowing what they are doing.
Why do we need the Democrats for that? What we need is an actual opposition party, not a pretend-opposition party.
If we didn’t have the democrats, more people would be dead...
Citation needed. Why would the killing stop? The Democrats kill innocent people all the time. Harris literally ran on keeping america a "deadly force".
...and any chance of bringing change would be gone.
What do you think the point of the Democratic party is? Their entire goal is to prevent change from happening, by pretending to fight against it.
You could be pushing for positive change instead you are crying because things are not already perfect
I am pushing for positive change. I want a party that actually fights, which is demonstrably not the Democrats.
If you think my problem is that the Democrats "aren't perfect", then I think you don't understand my problem at all. I think blowing up innocent people, putting people in cages, electing rapists, supporting genocide, screwing over the working class is a bit different than "aren't perfect".
HubertManne is a Democrat. Remember: For Democrats, mass deportation, bombing innocent people, torture, and wars are "Accomplishments". I saw them support it with Obama, I saw them support it with Clinton, and I saw them support it with Biden.
So according to Democratic logic, Biden did indeed to a great job. But civilized people know that Biden was a monster.
Does it? Tell that to the people that the "lesser evil" mass deported. Tell that to the people that died from treable diseases, because they couldn't afford healthcare. Tell that to the innocent people that the "lesser evil" blew up.
The last few times time we had "lesser evil", they spent their entire time building the infrastructure that "more evil" is currently using.
I've also noticed that every time the "lesser evil" gets voted in, it just reafirms the voters' belief that the "lesser evil" isn't going to fix anything. So those voters often end up wanting to throw the entire system away, thus giving us Trump.
A primary is where all of the politicans for one party get together, and pretend that they will fight for what the voters want. It's the same thing as a General Election, except it is specific to the party, and the winner of that election goes on to the General. I never said that I thought he would be in favor of supporting every incumbant.
I always find it telling that Dems will tell me that I'm wrong, and that I don't know what I'm talking about, but sure enough end up not knowing what I said.
Because he keeps doing exactly what they want him to do. He does a bad job of pretending to care about the voters, then becomes the lightning rod for the whole party. Why would they call him to step down when his whole job is to protect them from the heat?
And yet every election, I'm told that I have to vote for them, because they are gonna fly in and save the day. I'm sure that'll happen any day now... Yup, any day now.....

I don't disagree. But here you are, shitting on people who actually want fascism to stop.
But you do you.

My inherent distrust of authorities?

I use it to contol my OS, of course!
My superkey controls my OS (window-manager, music, launcher, brightness, etc).
My alt-key controls my tmux and browser
My ctrl-key controls the app (vim/bash/mpd)
And if no one voted for the "greater evil" the Democrats would have even more power and would have killed even more people

Who said voting doesn't matter? I didn't see BakerBagel say that at all.
And voting for Harris, is a vote for genocide. Which lesser evil are you going to choose now?

You could get rid of all of the text, just leave the donkey, and it would still be accurate. Self-sabatage is their entire shtick
It feels like something from The Outer Worlds, lol
If they run again, Yes

And yet come the next election cycle, he'll be out there with the rest saying that I need to keep voting for these cowards.
I really want to like Bernie, I just wish he chose better people to support.
I'm so glad that I blocked .world
I miss some of the good content on there, but shit like this makes it not worth it
