Sounds like they should have a different owner. Municipalities.

Rather than shaming people into eating shit, perhaps you could shame Biden into supporting a policy that has popular support in swing states.

Keep in mind that most low income people were materially better off under Trump, whose pandemic policies resulted in the lowest childhood poverty rate since the 90s. (These welfare policies were cancelled or expired under Biden.) So a Biden preference, if it exists, may not be as strong as you assume.

Your assumptions are doing a lot of work here.

It's an entirely different strategy:

A) I'll vote for you no matter what you do!

Versus

B) You must earn my vote.

The progressive policies I outlined above became law because the two major parties grew tired of losing close races, and decided to earn some third party votes.

Demonstrably false. Check the rfk polls.

A popular sentiment, but not among historians.

Third party voting in US politics has resulted in numerous labor and civil rights. women's suffrage, social security, 8 hour workday, etc.

Just another time when academia conflicts with your typical op-ed. A third party vote is probably the most powerful one you can make.

Sorry dude, my line is genocide. Not sure what yours is.

People shouldn't vote for genocide. If your choice is between Hitler and Satan it's ok to not vote, or heaven forbid, support a third party.

This recap of Oct 7 makes it seem like most of the deaths were against police/military. Many of the civilians deaths, especially at the rave, are reportedly from indiscriminate IDF fire.

Can you be a bit more precise? What makes them terrorists?

From what I understand, rebelling against an oppressor (as a last resort) is a U.N. recognized human right.

It doesn't seem fair to call Hamas terrorists when every peaceful form of resistance against the occupiers has been criminalized.

oh no my DRM machine is adding more DRM

Cool that our tax dollars are being spent on blowing up Christian churches, children and journalists

Criticizing hardcore Zionism isn't anti-semitic. Equating Jewish people with these genocidal maniacs is though.

Pretty weak. All the others are great though

And they immediately blocked all the piracy communities. Most of the .world and .ee users sound like AI posts. It's likely a massive AstroTurf

Waaa there aren't enough reactionaries, waa

Lemmy.world is run by the feds

Is it possible to limit permissions for an extension to just a few domains? Most of them I'm using just for specific sites

What democracy
