Same, and I also thought Kamala would win because our voters couldn’t possibly be dumb enough to elect the dipshit fascist again after how badly it went the first time and how he was talking about all the awful shit he’d do.

I was wrong to put any faith in my fellow citizens, clearly.

Apparently Floridians didn’t have the right to not be hit by a car for exercising their first amendment rights

Agreed, some mods are absolutely mental. Like, I recently got a two week ban from a news comm over an unsourced quote. The source of the quote in question?

The fucking comment I replied to! What, do they expect people to know to quote the user they replied to? I mean, that would require the comm to have posted rules instead of a PTB…

#9: Stand and deliver

Dude is totally fucking her knees.

Hard hitting science experiments from before the year 2000!

I’ve had to use outdated documentation that made the problem worse. So I guess bad documentation is like bad, unprotected sex with a lot lizard that leaves you with an itching or burning sensation.

I would say I’m baffled at how her supporters could think she was a decent politician when she doesn’t even proofread the bills she votes on and votes against her own opinions regularly.

But then I remember that I could just stop the previous paragraph at ‘think’ and have my answer as to why.

The best quote of 2025: “Fuck you child killer, you’re a child killer, fuck you, Free Palestine”~ Paddy McCorry

Wasn’t street justice since it was during a match, but fuck yeah!

Thanks, I might take you up on that. I managed to get lovey to load, but smods refuses to even show in the main menu. Got the mods in the designated folder, but nothing.

I’ve installed Bazzite, and I’ll be making that my daily driver once I finish my documentation (and figure out how to get balatro mods to actually load -.-)

Man, I’ve stopped following politics in Iowa since I left that shit hole after trump won the first time, and I hate going back. I feel bad for my wife’s family who are stuck there and can’t afford to move, but no way in fuck would I stay there for anything longer than a long weekend.

Turdstache really fucked over the state, and it amazed me just how quickly the people dropped the mask and turned into the stereotypical hateful redneck goon people think of when thinking of backwoods Midwest.

Oh wow, who could have foreseen the Gestapo would undermine public safety? Anyone with 3 functioning braincells?

Womp womp.

The only sympathy I have is for the overworked employees.

he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him

Well good news, he’s not actually that popular. I’m baffled that he’s still got an aggregate 47% approval rating, but even faux news’ poll has him down to 44% and he was only above 50% in poling for less than a 2 weeks after he came into office.

And that’s all before the most recent news about the medicare/medicaid slashing. And ahead of the coming wave of layoffs due to the economy slowing down. The policies he’s trying to enact are going to (slowly) erode what support he still has as his base realizes just how fucked they are.

How exactly does blaming your neighbors create meaningful change?

I don’t know, short of trying to show people the errors of their ways in tacitly supporting a fascist. But what other options do we have? Lie to them and say “it’s totally not your fault that trump was elected, even though you chose not to put forth the bare minimum effort to stop him”? I get that electoral politics isn’t enough (and we all need to be out in the streets doing what we can to resist), but I’m tired of pretending that the third of the country that’s checked out of politics isn’t also responsible for the people that get elected while they chose to abdicate their responsibility as a member of the voting public.

If this was your neighbors dog is shitting in your yard and not cleaning it up, would you blame the neighbor for their choice (leaving shit in your yard you have to deal with because they couldn’t be bothered to pick it up) and try to help them see the error of their ways, or would you ignore the shit entirely and hope they do better next time?

I don’t care whether you think it’s right or wrong, I am asking how it actually helps improve the system.

Turning your question around, how does ignoring the culpability of nonvoters in election outcomes improve the system? Do you think we’ll see an improvement in turnout if we ignore that republicans only win through voter suppression and don’t point out that encouraging not voting is one of their preferred strategies?

Increased participation is one of the best ways we can get out of this hole, and I’m really tired of people supposedly in my side constantly getting own goals with this kind of rhetoric.

That’s oligarchy apologetics bullshit to keep us from changing the system.

Or, you know, I’m being realistic about how things work in the real world. Or do you think that letting the fascists win is going to change the system for the better?

Whether or not you think its ‘oligarchy apologetics bullshit’, 2/3 of voting the population either explicitly or tacitly supported this shit. So yeah, I’m going to blame the majority for the outcome of a majority vote. Ignoring that fact is just going to make getting any meaningful change that much harder, and its hilarious to watch people justify their inaction in the face of the result of their choice.

That’s because 1/3 of voters tacitly support this shit by not voting.

Right up there with being ‘deeply concerned’ about the things they’re doing.

What kind of “real world load” are you putting on your trimmer? Mine barely ever gets caught in hair, and when it does, the hair gets cut before it can apply any meaningful amount of force to the trimmer guard.

For once the massive shithead and his turdburgler followers might do something good for once in their miserable lives.
