  • The vote is the only thing we have control over.

    You think allowing a dictator to take the reins is gonna get you what you want? Really? Explain to everyone how sitting this one out, an election that may cement Republican power and place Democrats as a token but useless party fore the remainder of the foreseeable future, will fix what you see as wrong with the Democratic party?

    Any other election I might have agreed with you.

    But not this one.

    Own it.


  • No.

    If you make a statement of fact then you need to be able to back it up with objective facts.

    If you can’t, then it’s called opinion

    And a second asbsolutelyfuckingnot. Why?

    Because there is a torrent of utter bullshit posted online every day. The burden to prove it’s bullshit should not be placed on the recipient of the information. Why, again? Because it’s easy to flood everything with bullshit and takes effort to disprove. You cannot allow people to make statements without facing the burden of proving their position, otherwise nobody is going to be checking anything and the bullshitters win.





  • There’s a perverse bunch here on lemmy that are blaming the Democrat Party for their failure to vote. They justify it by essentially saying that because they weren’t catered to (being further left than centrist platform Harris ran) that it’s the democrat’s fault we got trump. That’s some republican-level victim shit. “We did the opposite of what we should and things didn’t get better!”

    No, motherfucker, you sat this one out in a battleground state so we got a fascist and that’s better than Harris? WTF kind of logic is that?









  • Ah, the new propaganda has started, and they’re attacking Gen X for whatever reason? Guess the boomers are dying off and someone needs a new scapegoat? Seeing a lot of variations on “Thanks to Gen X for screwing up (insert whatever)”. Not sure what the value of it is. Gen X didn’t really have much of a shot at making any long-reaching policy, the boomers stayed in charge for as long as they could hang on to everything and created pretty much all the issues we’re facing now. Gen X never much of a shot, they just kept telling us to turn on the TV and eat the TV dinners.
