She has to take current strategy, because people like you are not voting, so in order to win she has to rely on votes of people that you don’t agree with.

I still don’t get how we ignored our own constitution and allowed insurectionist to have a second chance.

WTF America?

I mean it’s early to tell, but so far it is reported that those were precise attacks towards military targets. So if that’s true, that would explain that attitude from ordinary Iranians.

Is there a way to switch UI without switching the server. I do not like the web UI, I got used to old Reddit + RES.

What is “No need YT ads” and the “Ctrl+P”?

Isn’t Ghostery made by an ads company?

We desperately need tax on wealth.

Yeah, it primarily happens when people don’t wash their hands, we normally have tons of them in certain place.

So yeah, ew.

In short, oligarchs want to get richer and want more power (there’s never enough), you would think that poor conditions would wake people up, but as long as there less fortunate ones as us we are fine with it. It is easy to set us up against each other by telling that our misfortune is because of minorities and immigrants.

There’s a book called On Freedom by Timothy Snyder that talks about it. I think everyone should read it. Once you are aware of the mechanisms it is easy to see.

You would think that Republicans breaking social security would surely lose them votes, but it is really easy to manipulate their base and tell them that there’s not enough money in SSN because immigrants are getting free money and once again we are fighting with each other and once again oligarchs walk away with more wealth.

As long as DOJ would serve an indictment that would be a huge win.

You would think that maybe he would do photo op volunteering to help the hungry, but working at McDonald’s is apparently more hot for politicians right now.

Seems like they are operating in now or never mode. Amy crime committed won’t matter if trump wins. Looks like we didn’t place any meaningful deterrent for things we learned in 2016 and 2020.

Twitter is for narcissists, and when they say Mastodon is not as good as twitter they really mean that there’s not as many people watching them as on Twitter. So Bluesky gaining 500,000 new accounts could help in making it “better”.

No, that’s not what he said. He got a lot of flak for supposedly saying he invented the Internet.

In reality he never claimed that, he said that when he was a congressman he took initiative in creating the Internet, meaning sponsoring bills that would fund it etc. not actually inventing it.

Robert Kahn and Vint Cerf actually acknowledged that Gore was first politician that saw Internet’s potential and helped it becoming a reality.

Couldn’t that power be used to take control over Bitcoin chain?

Will try to find mine.

Honestly though I think that judges should be appointed by governor, maybe approved by legislature and during election we should have option to repeal them if they do something outrageous.

Yes ballotpedia is good, but I still wish it had more information about local (city, county) governments as well as judges. These ones are the hardest and most time consuming to research.

I also used https://www.ballotready.org/ it helps with some candidates, but looks like ballotpedia most of the time still has more info.

Sad thing is that he can openly say this, because none of the trump voters will even see this. Their disinformation channels will just say that Democrats are blocking it.

If those people actually tracked any news they wouldn’t be as easy to manipulate.

There was nothing interesting in that file that wasn’t already publicly known. Likely it has just a fluff to help playing a victim (they even tried assassination attempt in it) and imply that Iran is working with Democrats.

If Republicans can be made to support something good it would be for the wrong reasons, and that’s the best wrong reason to motivate then.

The thing is that Democrats tried to take high road, not only did it not inspire Republicans to do the same, it made them use all the advantages they fit from it calling Democrats suckers.

If it is legal they will use it, if it is illegal and no court stops them they will use it too.
