if by some miracle the country is saved from an own-goal and trump is not crowned god king by January, it will due solely to the American public - in spite of the Democrats.

As is traditional

😕

Overcoming this bullshit is how humanity gets to become what it needs to be

Right now we’re like a teenager living on our own, in way over our heads, with a couple different paths we could wind up going down

It was “due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith.” The frequency was a factor but by no means the proximate reason for the ban.

I don’t really agree with that being the metric, but that was what it was for.

Reminder, ozma was banned from one other sub for a while for specifically seeking out the worst news he could find about Biden and posting a never ending stream of it.

This or this are places to find good overviews as opposed to just finding the worst news possible at any given time.

I mean your comment isn't 100% off base. I was just being a little prickly about it for reasons that will become clear below -- so the reason I chimed in is:

1. Me saying my piece on it in no way makes it difficult for others who want to answer the question to give the answers OP deserves.
2. Some of the people who are going to answer this question who fall into category #2 are going to lie, by definition, and I think it's relevant to point that out and be able to talk about it (that that factor is relevant to the discussion). If everyone was coming into this discussion and telling the truth, then yes it would be inappropriate for someone else to come in and say what those other people's answers were probably going to be.

A long debate about whether or not there are political astroturf accounts on Lemmy is probably off topic here, so I made a thread which might be a little more suited to it.

What the fuck is this headline 🙄

The Washington Post’s story about how Trump is going to save NATO was worse, but only a little

“Unpopular” is a pretty carefully chosen criterion there

Because one and only one of them might put you in a prison camp, and destroy the machinery by which you might ever hope to elect someone who would align with your values, without having to fight a war for it?

Or maybe, "only" deport 18 million people who didn’t do anything. But hey! If none of those 18 million is you or your family, that’d be okay. And you got to make your statement.

It's just bread and cheese, no sauce. And the cheese is underdone. And all the toppings aren't on the pie; they're just pushed all together in one corner of the box, and someone stepped on them.

It's also the energy. They're standing awkwardly, a little too straight but having trouble picking their chins all the way up, feet a little closer together than is comfortable.

It's an imitation of discipline and strength without the substance that would make it look natural.

I will give your suggestion 100% of the careful attention and obedience that it deserves.

They're gonna have trouble affording smuggled oranges and tinned meat, too, when they're in the camps with bread and water as the standard food.

I get what you're saying and I'm not tryin to sit in judgement. But also, this one is fuckin important.
