Supposedly, I am a human, who does very human things.

  • The crazy thing about this piece of shit, is that he has so much hate for marginalized people, that even though he is actively being fucked by what he voted for, he can't even bring himself to lying and saying that he will vote for the opposing party, and of course in reality will continue to vote for fucking himself because he hopes it fucks the marginalized more.

  • Fascinating. So any disagreement must be “in bad faith” to you?

    At this point there is clearly no good discussing anything with you when the very specific bad faith arguments you made have been pointed out precisely, but you choose to instead, again in bad faith, claim that its a meritless dismissal.

    The very platform your politicians advocate for is concessionary, and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

    You also state you advocate for them though... where is your high horse unless you are lying.

    All of them. From Chuck Schumer conceding on the Shutdown, to Obama just adopting Romneycare as his own? The party exists to fold to Republicans.

    Partially because you keep letting them do so with your rhetoric that utterly fails to understand how this works. They love switching back and forth for this reason. Without the flip flopping, they could be arm twisted into being more progressive, but you somehow wish so badly you could punish them for not doing as you please that youd rather see exactly what you claim to hate.

    Support? Now that’s a strong word. Voted for, advocated for in conversation? Your black and white thinking is showing.

    This is you being completely unable to see nuance.

    You are, at this point, saying that you pretty much agree with what I am saying, but want to bash me for some made up beliefs you have where every person who believes the clear fact that of the 2 options democrats are the correct ones also completely supports how the DNC operates, which obviously is false.

    You support the platform of the DNC, the party insiders by proxy when you continue to support their bullshit even a year after the election.

    What in the universe could this possibly mean. Are you suggesting that you will be supporting the republicans instead? Because it is one or the other, so this just goes back to your ridiculous assumption from above.

    I do not care that you are just as powerless over their internal processes as I am. You continue to express your Stockholm Syndrome for their failing agenda, even as an actually viable alternative presents itself.

    What viable alternative?

    You speak in meandering riddles because ultimately your positions hold no merit. This is why all you can do is spout irrelevant rhetoric and specific criticisms against your views.

    go try on Hasan Piker as an entry point for your therapy.

    This says it all then doesn't it. You follow a pretend socialist influencer and think that means that you are are supirior to everyone else despite being unable to grasp the viewpoints of others nor state your own clearly.

  • Please tell me why would any of the two parties listen to any single issue you have if you will going to vote for them again and again anyway

    I literally explained at the very start of this exactly how it works. You vote in more progressives into the party to change its goals. The goals of the DNC are what you hate.

    The 2 party system, you hate too, and thats reasonable, but its the system you have, and you're not getting away from it within a lifetime.

    Yes , making a viable 3rd party solution is very slow and unconfortable

    No. Its nonsensical, childish, and utterly dangerous for all the people you will be sacrificing just to fail to accomplish your goal.

    Its an inherent flaw of 2 party systems. They do not support true 3rd parties because they do not have proportional representation. The end result of winner takes all/first past the post systems is such that you cannot simply make a third party, especially where the established party against the side you'll be weakening explicitly plans to completely remove your ability to vote.

    This is obvious. You keep wanting to scream and be angry at people for acknowledging the system as it is and not simply throwing tantrums because it isnt how they wish it to be.

    You will die too, not just the marginalized people you are so willing to throw away if you allow for republicans to gain a almost certain permanent rein, which is what supporting a third party would do.

    The best thing you could do is actually to prop up third parties splitting off of republicans if you actually wanted to see a change.

  • She still believes and supports insane shit.

  • Somehow he'll have to do this despite only being provided a 50 year old truck with no AC.

    (Jokes aside most national post services collect some pretty esoteric vehicles for specialized purposes. IIRC the USPS has some right hand drive mail delivery jeeps for rough terrain mailbox delivery routes for instance).

  • I did everything I could to rally people to vote for her.

    You mentioned that you did not "This was the first time in 20 years that I’ve cast my vote Alone." Unless I misunderstood that to mean you expect me to believe that despite them losing less than 10% of their voter base, 100% of people you knew didn't show up.

    So… Concede to Fascists, and pretend that’s a winning strategy. Gotcha.

    This is literally what you appear to be advocating for. Im utterly confused by this attempt to reframe things.

    Given the choice between diet Hitler, and full flavored commitment?

    Calling Kamala Harris diet hitler is lunacy.

    You will accept whatever Slop the unDemocratic party gives you, and be okay because “at least its not 100% Hitler, we’re doing better!” As the country slides into Hell. This is your fault for pretending Reaganite madness is the Center, and everyone else is “insane Leftists”.

    It seems you are clearly arguing in bad faith when you on one hand pretend that you voted for and supported Harris, yet on the other hand, say this.

    These are not congruent thoughts.

    One of these things must be a lie.

    I mean look at this intensly obvious bad faith strawman argument: "and everyone else is “insane Leftists”.

    Meanwhile, Mamdani had a vision, and people mobilized behind it. Won his election by the largest margin in a NYC Mayoral race since 1968. Democrats win when turnout is High, and actually HAVING A PLATFORM drives turnout.

    What are you arguing against out of anything I've mentioned here.

    Everything you say seems to be in bad faith.

    You are arguing against a person who is not a part of the DNC, because you do not like the strategy of the DNC, as if its that persons fault. This is not a sane position to hold.

    You people make me sick. I am actually having an easier time rehabbing Maga voters than talking to the people vote with at gunpoint.

    You once again, describe yourself in the same group that you say makes you sick.

    It once again seems like you must be lying.

  • Keep voting for the lesser of the two evils till there is nothing left to be saved.

    If you actually kept doing that you'd have not only much to be saved, but you'd eventually have a good option if following the rest of what I advise.

    You types literally never have workable solutions. Your suggestions are all impractical hail marys because you refuse to acknoledge the actual solution is slow, and uncomfortable.

  • Of course , you sound very ignorant or just use palestinians for political reasons.

    Its this type of insane take which makes it impossible to have useful discourse.

    There are literally 2 options, and you would rather choose the one with the worse outcome because they both suck. Thats simply immature and self harming in nature.

  • And you can blame the people all you want, but that doesn’t change reality, and they’ll still stay home.

    The problem with this logic, is that these are the options you have, and the DNC doesn't care about this, so you, as not the DNC have 2 options. Support the democrats, or support trump.

    All of the whining in the world won't change this.

    I think what’s embarrassing is your approach. You saw 2016 and 2024 and you still haven’t learned from either of them.

    Why are you talking to that other commenter as if they are the DNC? They're not the ones responsible for their political strategy.

    and a simplistic approach like yours is a failed approach.

    They're taking the only logical option within their locus of control, and you're acting like somehow they should have done what exactly?

  • The fact this is the type of shit that gets upvotes here is why you're never pulling out.

    You rant about democrats as if you choosing to lop your own legs off will make them so angry they're suddenly going to do what you want.

    You act like children, and ignore the obvious because it feels good to be angry at someone, and the democrats are the closest thing to being an org that will listen.

    Instead though, you, as you admitted, in the most important election in your life, choose to stop caring.

    Look at how childish all of your retorts are about all of the various things that she absolutely would not have specifically hurt if she had won.

    You think she would actively be encouraging israel to flaten palestine?

    You think she would be making ICE the actual gestapo?

    As for Roe v Wade, how exactly do you expect democrats to do such a thing without a senate super majority?

    You literally expect the impossible, and then give up and cry when you don't get that.

    Her backers, her sponsors, her consultants, her party infrastructure all made sure she refused to stand for anything. Ever.

    Yet that was clearly the better option that shooting your own legs off.

    How do you not realize that the DNC literally is incentivised to offer less and less if the country keeps flipping back and forth? Then, all they have to do is correctly assert that they are the non insane option, and offer to undo some of the damage done.

    This is what they've done. This is what Biden has done, and somehow to you, you think that throwing a tantrum and literally getting marginalized people killed really got one over on the rich conservatives at the head of the DNC who will never see the inside of a grocery store.

    And I blame you Lemmings for allowing this shit for actual decades.

    What does this even mean exactly. You are clearly angry at some group you can't actually specify.

    This comment really reinforces how much you misunderstand your own system. You'd rather hurt people because you can't get your idealistic wishes.

  • Truly, the amount of people on this website who will bend over backwards to push third party/protest votes despite all evidence that that is insanely naive and the equivalent to shooting their own legs off is insane.

    Somehow, these people, after decades of it not working, think that the democrats losing will magically bring in progressive Valhalla, because they literally refuse to acknowledge that the very obvious solution, that is equivalent to eating your veggies and doing exercise, is that the democrats have to keep winning, and they have to keep voting in progressives through primaries, state and local politics.

    Its extremely obvious to anyone who understand the 2 party supporting winner takes all/first past the post system they have.

  • Nor do any llms I've ever seen that is immediately accessible.

    It also doesnt matter. AI isn't killing anyone with those any more than call of duty lobbies are killing people.

  • Then that doesnt really help your point then does it?

  • You say it was, but I don't recall it ever filing for bankruptcy etc, so I have to wonder what these claims are based on, and why you felt their journalism was actually good and the type of thing people say they would pay for in the first place. In essence, you are still using the bad example, but with a new unverified claim that still doesnt work because it is a bad example.

  • I’m talking about all sources

    Yet the only ones you listed are the billionaire backed ones. Curious.

    Almost as if your argument is in bad faith because you yourself don't have any great examples of the sort of thing people would want to support that are also news outlets with reporters, and so you are forced to use bad examples.

    Ill give you an example though, just like the other person pointed out, there are smaller sources popping up everywhere. Even youtube journalism such as HowTown are pockets of not yet corporate information sources that people are fine with supporting.

  • Well, look at lemmy anytime someone posts a link that requires you to pay for the journalism. Pitchforks and torches.

    People don't want to pay for something they don't think is quality.

    It's not like these companies would clean up their act if they got another viable revenue stream. We can see that because when companies do, they regularly just keep the extra cash.

    What you'd need is a boot strapped organization that actually had standards people cared about and didn't bend. Its an impossibly hard situation, yes, but that does not make your snark prescient or clever. More than that, it doesnt at all back up your conclusion that people don't want to pay for quality journalism. It just doesnt exist, because it gets bought out by billionaires.

  • people using ai tools for things they're not good for and then calling the tool bad generally as opposed to bad for said task do a disservice to any real issues currently surrounding the topic such as environmental impact, bias, feedback loops, the collapse of Internet monetization and more.

  • The most moral republican

  • Perhaps, but having tactile options like buttons and dials is considerably safer as the ui can’t change and you can keep your eyes on the road

    Meh. Debatable.

    I think a few crucial buttons and a screen is most safe. To have all the modern features and settings of a normal car and have buttons alone would leave you with a 747 cockpit you have to look at anyways, and you'd have to cover more area to find things.
