People on Lemmy, or Americans, or Democrats...?

"Why do people downvote my posts before reading each one?"

No I'm pretty sure Standard Issue is a breed

TBF it's possible that RCV created an incentive for Democrats to nominate a better candidate. They're smarter than they look.

I called the 2024 election when Biden won in 2020. He was a shitty corporate centrist candidate who was never going to address our deep structural inequality, and so frustrated uneducated people voted for change in 2024. Obama won 2008 because people wanted "Change". Trump won 2016 to drain the swamp. We're all so sick of this crony corporate bullshit.

Socialists or we lose. It should've been obvious all along that the "centrists" and "Libertarians" are just embarrassed Republicans. America has been sick and tired of corporations overtly ruling for decades and moderates don't want to own that.

Voters weren't scared of a dictatorship on day one by a guy quoting Hitler. And at this point, they aren't scared of socialism, not anymore. The only way we win elections is by supporting candidates who are actually good. Even if a moderate wins this election, they'll lose us the next election and the good half will be undone. We can only discount the value of the next election iff our candidate will address our broken elections.

TL;DR: Socialists or we lose.

I would incur an entire year's worth of taxes in one day. Capital gains? Purge day. Paychecks? Nah the company can invest that until purge day. Buying a new car? I'll pay for it on purge day and you can deliver it in a week.

They might as well just do the purge on Cyber Monday.

Since they're typically masked, I'd like to see gait recognition serve the working class for once.

You're right, but

retaliative aggression

sounds a lot like defense.

In hindsight, relying on an oath to prevent a prisoner's dilemma wasn't the best plan.

That's a great example because ending the war on drugs would be much more effective than deporting "criminals". The Republicans elected a criminal; when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

“I’m all for ‘get the criminals out of the country,’

This is not a thing normal people say

What did we even do all those ReCAPTCHAs for

I'll just fork it; we can do better than this.

Get in the god-damn ship, everything's on the cob!

Ok but that has been a button for decades and we keep deciding other things are more important.

They correctly designed the roof to support the weight of the dog!

The lady in the foreground is pulling on a shirt and already has no shoes, so I assumed she pantsed him. "That's it! No more clothes!"

Remember a couple weeks ago when you noticed people keep downvoting your comments for no reason, and I suggested it was because they recognize your username?

Nixon instituted inflation as we know it because of the Vietnam War, and inequality skyrocketed. It's a lot easier to strike with savings than with credit scores.
