Franklin

my house used to be rented out and got the “landlord special” regularly.

i was sanding the walls to prepare for a coat of paint and i found a baseball sized hole they had just put painters tape over and proceeded to paint over the tape.

that is impressive laziness. it takes almost no effort, time or money to plaster. especially when you’re already painting

here it fucking comes, if you thought it was enshitified you haven’t seen anything yet!

suck my dick jackie boy

it’s already doing that, in order to meet them in the middle we’d have to believe they were doing it in good faith which they aren’t

You can label me with whatever epithet you want, but the reality is that voting Democrat was the correct choice to minimize damage. Is that where it ends? No. Should the Democrats be raked over the coals for their current and past inaction? Absolutely.

The reality is, if anyone who is upset with the Democrats truly wanted change, they would understand that change is slow. “Teaching the party a lesson” has historically only resulted in a shift to the right. Direct action is the only thing that works. But while that effort continues, I’d certainly prefer if the checks and balances of the government weren’t being actively weakened and exploited.

it sure is and yeah i was being exagatory for effect but if you’re just going to pretend there isn’t some very real damage being done that could have been prevented then the .ml brainrot is real

if a third party was possible under current electoral governance the green party would absolutely not be better

I mean didn’t Trump also promise that and not deliver

What I constantly hear is deflections about how voting doesn’t matter, but it fucking does, yes the Democrats suck but they are better, it’s not even close.

Fight back and do everything you can to change what’s going on and blame Democrats but don’t sell out an entire election cycle to literal Satan to make that point

all that does is irreversible damage

I hate to break it to you but I’ve definitely heard that on Lemmy a few times

well I hope that if you come out of this you come out with a better electoral system I’ll say that

discrepancies is an incredibly charitable interpretation of events.

I’d prefer to call it lies.
