Look at the preceding conversation, instead of cherry picking a comment maybe 🤷‍♂️ dude was already handing out temp bans in the thread for anyone that disagreed with him stating they’re trolls, then he’s the one trolling. Got called out, couldn’t handle it.

I got permabanned from politics on shitjustworks for calling out the mod for being a hypocrite, so 14 days ain’t so bad in comparison. Gonna go see what rule 1 over there is tho.

I’m using Connect (on Android, dunno if it’s on iPhone tbh), just had an update yesterday. Very solid interface, reminds me a bit of bacon reader

Guessing it’s coming from shitjustworks people. Politics mod over there doesn’t like anyone pointing out the Dems weak ass “resistance” even if you are lauding another Dem(Rep Green) at the same time lol.

For this reason if I go on Reddit for a niche item that’s not here yet, I only lurk, no voting, commenting, nada.

Thankfully, I’m having to do that less and less.

How was that process? Is your wife French? I wish I had dual citizenship anywhere.

Fully had me in the first half

Also if you say this over in sh.it justworks politics you’ll probably get banned, so this might just be early!

Lemme know if you think of one. Cash? Gold? Land?

Dawg we had Washington warn about the 2 party system, we never listen

Not sarcasm!

What a goddamn comment. Informative, thoughtful, and an amazing rebuttal without being condescending. Is best of a thing on here?

Reich wing.

Milquetoast but your point stands.

This is a very reasoned argument, I don’t understand the downvotes. Nothing said here is inflammatory or incorrect, it’s a pretty valid take on how Lemmy reacts to things they don’t want to be true, including legitimate criticisms of Harris. A lot of people seem to think anyone saying “but wait” means they’re for Trump, even if that’s not the case. I mean I get it, he was a disaster and it’s crazy the collective amnesia that half this country seems to have about it, Harris will assuredly be better than him, including with Gaza. It still doesn’t mean we should just unilaterally ban asking the Dems to do more, even if there are some that attempt to argue such things in bad faith.

I will say “vote hard enough” could work if we actually did it, but only way may be to have auto registration at 18. But I agree, Dems need to stop courting the ever decreasing “undecideds” and actually represent something left of center-right.

Voting is still valid though, a lot of us on the left seem to disdain voting as useless and only want to go with rhetoric, but it’s literally how MLKJ got the most done that was enforceable. Civil disobedience to get attention, million man marches to register the vote and getting people to the polls no matter what was in the way. If we ever actually did that maybe we could get some more lefty candidates on bigger stages.

I think there are plenty of instances that aren’t, and those don’t include the hyper tanky/toxic ones. The big instances have tended to skew neoliberal though.

This sacrifice affirms that no one would go through with this if it was a “choice” or “for attention” or whatever the shitbags are saying these days. Imagine giving up the strength of a woman’s immune system and the ease of childbirth for the horrid experience of a man with a cold!

My cat is always playful and energetic lol but he’s a wild one at 1 1/2. Got a 2nd one and she’s helping calm him down thankfully, she’s just also the sweetest damn thing, purrs at the drop of a hat

I just watched this show for the first time while tripping with some friends… It’s so fuckin good we finished the entire season lol

Well, you can also cover it in gas/lighter fluid to help things out I suppose

Folding it first like this implies a level of reverence/respect to it that it doesn’t deserve. For instance, folding the American flag into a triangle, stars out, then burning it, is how we were taught to respectfully dispose of a damaged flag in Boy Scouts.

I recommend wadding it up, covering it in some bodily fluids, and then burning it while playing Northern victory songs to really treat it properly.
