Zinda. His face black, his eyes red.

It’s bullshit that you claim it’s a higher percentage than the one I provided, but don’t actually know what it is? Look man, if you’re just giving your opinion, that’s fine. Just say so.

Thanks? By making that statement I’m sure you know the exact percentage. Feel free to provide it. I’d be interested to know.

Both sides? Good grief. Not everything has to be a you vs them. And of course there is a higher number on Twitter. They have, what, 300 million active users? And Lemmy is probably .001% of that.

Plenty of fascists on Lemmy. They’re just not well known billionaires.

Yeah the rest is fine, but bragging about being featured in a magazine is kinda cringe.

And you’re on Lemmy. Most people have their echo chamber of choice.

Are people really buying into this 51st state nonsense? It’s never going to happen. Orange man is a legit professional shit talker. Damn near everything he states shouldn’t be taken seriously. I’ve easily learned to ignore his words and simply focus on his actions.

So unless the progressives can force a realignment along some new issue and subsume a major party, creating another party would just be handing a lot of elections over to the Republicans.

This is why lemmy was so vehemently against Jill stein and the greens even though most people on here agree with her politics more than kamala, because they saw her as sabotaging the democrats chances and handing the election to trump.

This sounds like living in a perpetual state of short term gain long term loss. Change won’t happen over night, and you may lose a few elections in the short term, but ultimately you’ll establish a party you actual want to support instead of one you’re kind of willing to tolerate.

I’m not going to criticize Jill Stein or her party for voting based on their beliefs.

I disagree, or perhaps it depends on how you look at it. If a small, vocal minority in an overall larger group begin to push policies/opinions consistently that are not shared by the overall larger group, you could argue the values of the small and larger group no longer completely align. If the smaller group continues even after being made aware those policies/opinions aren’t going to fly, one could argue they are now separate groups. I suppose it depends on how far their values have grown apart from each other.

I’m not necessarily saying that is what is happening here, but it’s no secret progressives aren’t happy with the democratic party establishment. Starting your own party might be best.

Maybe progressives should simply start their own party instead of trying to hijack a current one.

Finally, a fucking sense of humor. Like finding a golden ticket in a candy bar.

By “here” do you mean Lemmy? And the suns are just complaining? Because if so then yes, I agree.

Props for using a Land Before Time template. Yup yup.

Right? Fuck that guy. That’s his problem, not mine.

In my experience, too many .world mods are shit. Just Reddit all over again.

How does one not feel safe on a digital platform? Even if someone physically threatens you, nothing is going to happen to you. And you can block/mute people you don’t care for.

I still use it. For that which I engage, or who I engage with, it hasn’t changed for me. Almost 100% for metal bands. Tours, album releases. We have a pretty cool metal community going. People I’ve been speaking with for many years now.

Leaving a platform you don’t like, or the reasons you don’t like it, isn’t “common sense”.

It’s too convenient. Order something Sunday night, I’ll definitely have it by Tuesday afternoon if not earlier. I always wait until I have enough items I need over $50 before I place an order anyway.

You do not have to explain yourself to judgemental assholes.
