But the DNC is already entirely ineffective. We are already losing every single time we vote for either major party. Even when the Dems are in office, they appear incapable or unwilling to accomplish meaningful progressive political objectives, so we are slipping further into fascism anyway, no?

This has been the status quo for generations already, how long does it have to continue before we cut our losses and make a risky gambit? I just don’t understand what you think the DNC is protecting us from, because in my view they are also part of the problem.

Teddy Roosevelt got 27% in 1912 with the Bull Moose party. Not sure if that counts as modern history.

It’s true that a third party candidate would be a major long shot but fuck it, what do we have to lose?

Gooner pro tip, nice

They are talking about the apostrophe

Supposed to be y’all rather than ya’ll.

I know because I used the same spelling until somebody corrected me on Reddit a few years ago.

This is Lemmy bruh. We still be burning discs on the reg.

Seriously though, I still like to listen to CDs in my car. Something about making that perfect 20 song banger mixtape just hits different. And then slotting old CDs and having no idea what songs are on there but usually being pleasantly surprised. Spotify/Bluetooth is too easy and casual, I tend to pay more attention and enjoy the music more when listening to CDs.

Smh I’ve heard about a ton of stupid reddit bans but this one takes the cake. I guess if you keep reporting it they’d have to actually do something about it so they prefer to ban you and pretend it doesn’t exist.

Who’s a good boy? Now go fetch that remote content and you’ll get a treat!

Ok that makes sense, I just figured you didn’t know how or forgot to do it. But I can understand if you want to reduced lemmy.ml influence, carry on

Why not use the cross-post function? Original post is at asklemmy@lemmy.ml btw

Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome

What movie is that?

That’s a bong. Note the curvature on the neck

Fresh idiots are being born every day, unfortunately

Anything that doesn’t put the ENTIRE content discovery engine fully in the hands of the users and that doesn’t make content moderation a crowdsourced-only transparent, auditable endeavor is going to reproduce l’ancien régime.

Aren’t you just describing Lemmy?

Content discovery is fully in the hands of the users, and content moderation is both crowd-sourced and transparent.

Upvotes, downvotes, and reports are all forms of crowd sourced moderation. The modlog is transparent and auditable. What are you on about?

My goodness, that was a roller coaster. Although I found it lacking in cohesiveness (I’m not sure that the evidence supports the conclusions), it’s certainly a thought-provoking article. Thanks for the link.

But the only reason he was being prosecuted was because of his connection to Biden. An average working class person would never have been charged with this crime in the first place.

Damn. I actually thought he might turn things around back when he was brought in. Their engineers have let them down, how did they fall so far behind after being so far ahead just 15 years ago?

I concur. Good explanation.
