You’re only making one person look silly, and it’s not them.

I’d be willing to bet a significant amount of the downvotes stem from this meme being nearly indistinguishable from something that gets posted on Parlor or Truth Social.

It’s hard to tell whether or not they truly don’t understand, or they do, and they’re just saying shit to rile up their base.

Not sure how much it matters either way, though. Consciously or not, it’s still the spread of misinformation.

Gotta grow big and strong

I love how fuzzy they are.

They would have come to Lemmy if it was the platform they wanted. We can bitch and moan about them wanting something that we think is against their best interests, but what’ll that do?

I don’t really get all the pessimism. Even if folks are right in saying there’ll be a bait and switch, this is people moving to a new platform en masse. If Bluesky goes to shit there’s more reason to believe users would just move again.

In the meantime, as members of the fediverse, we should be using Bluesky being “decentralized” as a way to ease people into actually decentralized platforms.

I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they’ve been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.

SmartTube for TV and ReVanced/uYouPlus for Andriod/IOS devices. SmartTube can be tricky to set up depending on the TV, but the mobile apps are relatively simple to get working.

It’s already delusional to think you helped by not voting, but I’m not gonna listen to a dipshit who’s just gonna sit on their ass and blame anyone who actually tried to protect the rights of queer communities. Fuck off.

Honestly, I think it’ll be worth drilling the fact that it’s the Republican Party, not just Trump. Otherwise, folks deep in the cult will just use the current figurehead as a scapegoat for everything wrong with the party without acknowledging that the party itself works against them.

They probably will, anyway, but it’s worth a shot.

I mean, yes, I am surprised that they sat on their asses and tacitly chose the even more genocidal candidate.

I get not wanting to make the choice between eating dirt or wet shit, but sitting this one out was just asking for wet shit.

I can’t tell if this comment is ignorant or malicious, but I’m not sure if the difference even matters here.

What’s the point in playing nice with somebody who won’t engage in good faith?

If I’m understanding correctly, I think “ERB” here is referring to “Epic Rap Battles” which would make the “starter” the first one to rap in the relevant video.

I’m happy for those people who have enough privilege to sit this election out; but to even try and imply that the two dominant parties are even similar is an insult when only one of them wants to fucking kill me.

Even if a notable number of people voted 3rd party, they’re still going to be treated the same as those who didn’t vote at all, because in a practical sense, thats what they are.

What bothers me about the people taking the bit of time and effort to go vote for 3rd parties is that there’s really no point to it. Making sure your own vote doesn’t matter is insane to me when voting isn’t mandatory. They could’ve just done nothing and achieved the same outcome.

Many of those aforementioned nations aren’t exactly still running, though.

What do you suggest?

Certainly, you’re not just trying to spread voter apathy in the most important American election this century.
