yeah I don’t think a usa based platform is really “long gaming” the fee speech problem. Bluesky now shifting to monetization plans. Its a matter of time until some rich dildo buys it up. If were lucky it will be mark cuban or somebody buts its still grim prospects.

I would argue democrat donors preferred a trump win and preferred dem turnout be low because they had a decent campaign for a second and shut it down.

What your saying only makes sense if you operate from the idea dems want to win and not that they want to hand a victory their donors.

In 2016 actual democrat operative tried to twistpeople’s arms to vote. This election that energy did not come from the mainstream democrats. Their pitch was “we don’t need you, we want republicans instead”.

The calculus is different when you recognize both parties hate you.

I agree the campaign was poor. I agree the party had small, terrible, and stupid ideas. I agree that chasing republicans is stupid.

I will still however yell at cowards who coddle people who think not voting is anything but moral cowardice. Just own it. Take some fucking accountability. Its fine to have issues and complaints, its suicide to encourage people to go full karen.

own the cowardice. Dems suck but every non voter has blood on their hands. Ignorance and apathy are not moral principles.

I think you missed the part where Netanyahu just went out and said the west bank is next.

I mean just the other day some folks were talking about his catty posts about the twilight movies. Trump is in some way relatable because he most the faults of everyone I’ve ever met.

the only way these idiots will support anti doxxing laws are if they are doxxed. Its how you build a consensus.

To those cowards that didn’t vote: This is on you, own it you sniveling weasels.

you can easily pull the local municipal aerials, which are better anyway.

especially since as far as authenticity goes, nobody is less authentic than trump. I think its more about seeing their flaws in you, and since trump just says everything about everything he seems relatable.

trump only picked up 500,000 more votes than last time. Lets hear from the 10,000,000 that voted in 2020 but not this election

My eyes glazed over reading this. Its like hearing people with 6 houses complain about property taxes.

He understands that even to be “independent” in this kind of election system you have to caucus/primary with one of the two parties.

a paper reciept for recount is an easy way to validate these machines. I’m skeptical of fully digital systems as those are harder to validate.

Its literally politics 101. This is why we need ranked choice & proportional voting.

both times dem consultants took the bait and courted republicans. Though this is the first time right wing immigration policies were pushed by the democrat.

and like 90% of our media is owned or controlled by republicans.

Pedophilia gets higher support among republicans because it shows he can commit worse crimes and get away with it.

The only way to deal with them is to call them on every bluff so that making a bluff becomes a liability’
