If you didn’t vote, you voted for this. This is a representative democracy, and voting is the absolute least you can possibly do.
You don’t get out of your civic duty by abstaining – you’re implicitly supporting the winner by failing to do the bare minimum. You’re doing far worse if you uttered one sentence to convince others to abstain with you, which many, many did.
Unless you live in a literal cave, you’re complicit.
Good job everyone who advocated for 3rd parties or abstained because this ghoul was ‘the same’ as Biden or Harris. I hope you’re sleeping well that razing Gaza is the same as not doing that.
Great work. Perhaps you’ll get a discount on the new trump branded resorts they’ll build on that land, which we fucking warned you he wanted to do years ago.
I’m done trying to warn people. You won’t fucking listen so I’m wasting my breath, and these ‘I told you so’s just taste too bitter.
Wake me when you’re ruffling the ashes of your own countrymen from your hair (or don’t, because I’ll be seasoning your egg salad with what’s left of my bones).

I hope so too.
This whole administration is hitting them in the wallet, and coupled with the insurance hassles of their second or third home being threatened by insurance companies pulling out due to climate change, they’re starting to feel it.
Fascism won’t help most of them, and it’s already starting to hurt. Florida relies on their money, and it’s already on life support.
Boo fucking hoo.
Especially Florida.
Never underestimate the power of snowbirds.
Yes, more of this, please.
If Texas can do this, anyone can.
MOISTURISE ME
This video explains it quite well:
Minority Rule: First Past the Post Voting by CP Grey.
The system isn’t designed to be a two-party system, but no matter how many parties there actually are are (in the US, there are actually more than a dozen active parties), FPTP voting inevitably results in only 2 being viable.
This will not change unless a different voting method is implemented.
Yep. And this bug exists in both scenarios.
Wait, really?
That’s terrible design. I know I’m a mod and can take action. That’s the point of being a mod. Flagging all comments is superfluous and misleading.
I thought something was wrong with my community.
e: Instead of a shield (which to me means ‘fellow mod’) I’d colour the edit ellipsis green or something. This makes me think the commenter is a mod.
It helps to know it’s only on my end, thanks! I was worried anyone could mod my community. Thanks for your input! I’ll put it in as a UI bug. Cheers!
Awesome, thanks for letting me know you don’t see everyone as mods. That helps me.
Yes, that one. Here’s what i see:
I’m using Voyager on iOS.
And I don’t see those flags on posts outside my community, anywhere on Lemmy.
e: if you’re not seeing it, it’s likely a bug in Voyager. Thanks for letting me know! I’ll post in in the Voyager community. <3
Oh, that’s all? Followed.
e: thank you.
I’m confused, then. Do I bridge it from Bluesky?
I clicked your link but it didn’t make sense from my end.
Apparently I need to make a new account; it’s been a loooooong time *warning, Reddit link).
I’ll make a new mastadon account and link it here.
Omg I thought this was the onion. Fuck.
Fuck everything about this.

Shit, sign me up. I could definitely use some amusement.
Few things scare you like thinking you’ve lost one of the most expensive and fragile things you use nearly 24/7. And even fewer can make you feel like a complete idiot to realise you’re already holding it. Such a crazy crosswire of feelings.
I really liked that series when it came out. Now it hurts to watch.
