  • Eh, it’s been a long journey for me. Years ago I was active in the Democratic Party in Texas, later I was a keyboard warrior who wrote millions of words, none of which did any good.

    Now I just want fair elections; again writing words, now in a very small community, that also does no good.

    But I’m done with the partisan stuff, and think both sides are equally out of their minds.

    Democracies need accurate ballot counting, most states fail this. The primaries in both parties and the general elections have been tampered with for decades in many states. This has totally changed the character and leadership of both parties over the decades.

    This is not a falsifiable argument because the only way to prove the above is wrong is to not use the election machines run by private organizations. While at the same time exit polls and stats hint of extreme ballot stuffing by these very companies. It’s not rocket science.

    But, most commentators and social media participants in USA politics don’t care or want to know.

    The ballot manipulation will allow democrats to win the midterms by a landslide, and most likely have the presidency again in 2028, and people who want paper ballots will be rendered mute again by most. Then next cycle the republicans will win again!

    It’s a very long game, with each iteration moving more wealth away from the majority. And the only way to fix it is with paper ballots counted in front of witnesses and unlimited recounts allowed. Even then, it will take a long time to fix









  • I sorta on OP’s side; he said a sentence that could be interpreted hundreds of ways, and everyone assumed the worse and started attacking his character. And it’s very hard to nicely restate one’s position without some mild anger after that.

    Then people attack even more. It’s a feeding frenzy.

    I unblocked this community just this week; I even commented here. But this entire thing is just too much. I’m blocking politics again , and hopefully world politics changes for the better when test it out in a few months



  • I think that is all too frequent throughout the entire fediverse; just the topics change.

    I have blocked entire popular communities on many servers to not get caught up in that.

    There are some topics I just have to type a few keystrokes and I manage to attract controversy. And I do not understand why. What’s the big deal? Why do people hate me? And some instances are just weird to me, but others love it and find them important. Some instances are more in touch with my own weirdness.

    I think if I have learned anything by my adventures, is not to demonize any instance used by a large group of people, but recognize there are different types of oddballs lurking there, waiting …
