how she explains it is literally how i feel. i always worry someone might be thinking I’m mansplaining when really I’m just nerding out and want to talk about interesting info with a friend
i generally assume good intentions and i hope others give me the same courtesy, even if it has sometimes burned me in the past.
I’ll let you know if I hear any news 👍
Clinton was a Democrat which is why they even cared. meanwhile the gop was diddling kids the entire time. they’ve always been the pedophile party and it was even more of an open secret back then. it was actually a running joke guessing which Republican would be caught diddling kids each month. yet they always rallied and protected their own when allegations came out where as Democrats tended to turn against other Dems if allegations ever came up.

cascadia secede

nothing is permanent if you put a dictator into power who disregards all the checks and balances sweaty
stop voting them in then
i don’t agree with them in all cases but i think they are still miles better than Republicans
im center left and i voted for bernie both times. i don’t live in NYC but i would vote for mamdani. many centrists definitely vote for progressives.
it just depends where on the centrist spectrum you fall.
(ok tbh I’m probably right at the edge of being a leftist but to many lemmys here that means i am hitler)
i think they were given a big megaphone on platforms like TikTok or X by bad state actors like China, Russia, or Republican billionaires, and were used to sway a larger body that would have ultimately voted for Democrats to simply stay home and not vote because they were repeatedly pushed the idea that Democrats were “just as bad”.
imagine if everyone just went back to the social media of the 2000s. i would go back to vox.com when it was a blogging platform and not a news site.
paying rent sometimes feels like throwing money into a black hole
now I’ll feel even less guilty if they get shot
