You think Democrats abused their power during Covid?

Yes.

I actually never stopped using Firefox. I tried Chrome/Chromium on and off since it came out in 2008, but I never understood the appeal. Chrome looks more minimal, but it always ran like crap on Linux and Mac for me. Was it better on Windows or something? The constant memes about Chrome's RAM and CPU usage would lead me to believe it isn't.

The new Mario movie comes to mind for me. I don't normally watch movies, but I agree with the 95% audience score even though critics hated it. Everybody else I know who saw the movie liked it too.

Trump was impeached for not giving money to Ukraine?

Yeah, from what I understand, he said he was going to buy it, then changed his mind, then the shareholders sued him because I guess there was a tentative deal.

Just shows me that Elon doesn't know what the hell he's doing, so spez looks up to him now? Yeah, I'm lost too.

Makes you wonder why he bought it in the first place. He's thrown everything away: the employees, the offices, the code, and now the brand.

The lockdowns and restrictions on gatherings lasted much longer than just March and April of 2020 in Democrat-led areas. States like Illinois, California, and New York had restrictions on gatherings through the end of 2020 and into 2021. I'm sure my own state would have had lockdowns lasting that long if the Republicans hadn't fought the Democrat governor. But of course, protests the Democrats were in favor of were always exempt from covid restrictions.

I'm not buying the argument that Democrats actually cared about covid. I honestly used to lean left until I saw how democrats abused their power during the pandemic. This will all happen again with the next virus. Mark my words.

I knew about that. They also pay to be the default search engine on Firefox.

But my joke was that these changes make it seem like they don't want people to use Chrome anymore and switch to Firefox instead. If users knew about this stuff and understood it, Firefox would bounce back.

I would've expected you to get the joke then.

Sounds like they really want people to use Firefox!

For anyone who doesn't know, I was quoting their union-busting videos.

Amazon and Lowe's use that same line.

Remember, they're not anti-union, but they're not neutral either.

EDIT: Since people seem to be missing the joke here, this is a common line in anti-union propaganda training videos.

What crimes?

And this article does not say Fetterman is in favor of impeaching Biden.

What? Look, I really don't like Biden at all, but there is no "bipartisan consensus" or even grounds to impeach him. You can't impeach someone just because you don't like them.

So fucking true. But at least I can order Burger King from my Mac for... some reason.

Crowder's a piece of shit who doesn't even practice what he preaches.

What’s your point? It would have been better to do nothing about Covid? Over a Million people died with pre-vaccine restrictions. Anyway it’s looked at, given the information and resources we had at the time there was a net savings of life even factoring in loss of life as result of the economic downturn.

The government declaring what's essential and what's not is a scary proposition and with the current political climate, ripe for abuse. And if people keep thinking this is a rational thing to do, this will keep happening.

We are now in a much better place with emergency preparation, and vaccine technology so we likely won’t be doing anything as drastic in the future.

They're talking about bringing back covid restrictions in the United States. Plenty of people are having lockdown nostalgia. This is going to repeat itself because unfortunately, the current options are the politicians who enacted these fascist policies, or a party that's trying to stage a coup (again, fascism). And Bill Gates says this is going to happen every 10 years going forward. He's rich enough to make it happen.

I can only really remember Gavin Newsome and Nancy Pelosi being photographed without masks, I have no problem criticizing them for not.

They weren't the only ones. A few politicians in my state enacted covid restrictions then were seen and photographed in other areas so they didn't have to abide by THEIR OWN RULES.

It’s absolutely ridiculous to make a same sides argument over Wearing masks and an attempted coup. The latter is the worst thing to happen to the country in our life times bar none. Everything pales in comparison.

I'm not talking about wearing masks. I'm talking about the Democrat governors and mayors shutting parks and businesses down and telling people they can't see their friends and families, while they're going out and doing the very things they told everybody else not to do. Once politicians take away freedom, they seldom give it back for long. Both sides know enough people are gullible enough to fall for their antics.

If anyone thinks that democrats gave two shits about covid, let me remind you that large gatherings were allowed and endorsed by them for causes they agreed with in mid-2020. This doesn't tell me they cared about covid. It tells me they're becoming the fascists they pretend to hate.

I hope not. Trump's plan is some seriously scary shit.

No one is in love with Biden as a candidate and it doesn’t matter.

Sure could've fooled me on every site that isn't an alt-right hate speech platform. People fucking love the guy even though he has a racist history that he seems to be trying half-heartedly trying to make up for today. Even Kamala Harris admitted that his racist policies affected her. An 80 year old man should not be in the White House.

Your comments about dementia and Covid restrictions being fascists are childish.

It's childish to expect the President to be able to read a teleprompter and to expect freedom in a country that bills itself as "the land of the free"? There was a whole litany of issues that was caused by the covid lockdowns, like domestic violence, alcoholism, stunted development in children, people being unable to say goodbye to their dying friends and family members, mental health, and supply chain disruptions. And the government declaring what is "essential" or not is classic fascism. What was really telling to me is how many democrats set restrictions in their areas and then either just didn't follow them or went on vacation somewhere like Florida so they didn't have to wear a mask or lock down. "Rules for thee but not for me" is classic fascism, dude.

And the only alternative is a cult that tried to overthrow the government in 2021. Both sides are different breeds of fascism at this point. It's fucked up.

We need an overhaul of the election system and an end to gerrymandering, but those are never going to happen.

In the meantime, it's just fucking ridiculous how I can't criticize Biden without being written off as a Nazi. The man is not the wholesome grandpa figure everybody seems to think he is. The last presidential election had two senile men with dementia who belong in a nursing home, not the white house, and all the democrats who were fascists during covid were re-elected. Roe got overturned because the democrats didn't bother to codify it since the 1970s. Contacting congresspeople is like talking to a brick wall. I don't fucking know what to do anymore.
