Your comment provides no productive insight or refutation of anything I mentioned. You look like a fool by creating a straw man of my position.

Democrats aren’t losing, they’ve over performed in just about every election since 2020. The party has grown more left wing in recent years but obviously work still needs to be done. Virtually every progressive in government will endorse Biden for reelection. There was no significant primary challenge against him.

If you don’t vote you aren’t participating in an election where you can influence the outcome. In reality the statement you make by sitting out is that you don’t care what happens.

There are valid criticisms you could make of Biden especially over how he has handled the Gaza war. But pretending that you’re enlightened by not voting and effectively helping Trump is not an effective strategy in the long term.

Because he did not have the best campaign staff and the Democratic party establishment preferred other candidates. His base was mostly young white people or college students who don’t turn out to vote enough.

YouTube and Instagram already have identical features. Most US creators who post on Tik Tok also use those platforms already

Definitely look into Next DNS. There are also some Safari extensions that can block ads.

I also suggest buying refurbished unlocked phones in the future instead of going for the carrier freebies which you can see are scams designed to lock you into paying for their overpriced service each month for over a year.

what’s funimation? I have aniwave

Vivaldi overheats my Macbook and runs like crap on my PC.

15 year old kids are probably capable of cashier work so long as they aren’t overworked and it doesn’t get in the way of school. It is not particularly dangerous like certain factory jobs could be, and is legal in most cases if the child has a parent’s permission.

The child in the photo does not look like he is 15 years old though, probably closer to 10-11 which generally is too young to be working.

I switched to US Mobile a couple months ago and it has been a much better experience.

The far right actually holds political power in the US while the far left does not.

Reddit is still one of the biggest websites online. Hardly anyone outside of tech circles is familiar with Lemmy or the fediverse.

I use https://searx.be/ with both Google and DDG results enabled. Otherwise if you want something like Google results you would have to use Start page, although they pay Google for access to their search so you would be indirectly supporting Google.

And what will that accomplish? The Kim family are horrible leaders, but this comment is unhinged. Torture will not undo anything they’ve done.

That’s not really how it works. It would only make them look stupid if they did that, and increase the risk of being voted out in the next election. Because of the filibuster, legislation generally needs 60 votes in the Senate before it goes to the president. Democrats have 51 seats, with two frequent defectors. Imagine if Biden’s record going into 2024 is that he vetoed every single piece of legislation.

Democrats have a slim majority in the senate, which is not enough to get whatever they want done without compromising, especially considering that two senators are not as left wing as the rest of the party.

As far as war and military spending goes, I agree that the party could do better.

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

“they” in this poem is referring to anti-semites, specifically Nazis. Germany is doing the right thing by censoring and excluding anti-semites from society, to ensure that what this poem describes will never happen again.

People who go online on sites like Lemmy to discuss politics are usually strongly in favor of one party over the other. However, not everyone who votes in elections is like that. There are many moderate or swing voters. Presidential elections in particular are decided by a few key swing states. There is also an expectation that the Congress and the Courts could be a check on each other and on the President, so sometimes people vote for a candidate that they don’t fully agree with. Debates aren’t always about which candidate or party has a more agreeable stance on the issues, but rather which issues are the most important.
