Why are Democrats forcing this agony on people? People are just dying for the Democrats to give them a reason to support them.

Here’s my surprised face 😐

Well, at least now the cops are fully equipped to go into those schools and body slam 14-year-olds for using the F word.

No doubt. All I can hope for is more tech companies get the kind of backlash Unity saw when they decided to screw everyone over.

Same reason lots of us moved here from Reddit.

Because Enshittification

Sigh, yet another enshittified service to cancel.

Still own mine… It failed because Sega was terrible at marketing their consoles.

Sega Master System, Sega CD, Game Gear, and Dreamcast were all better than their competitors when they came out, but they were all pretty big flops comparatively.

The future is stupid, we were promised jetpacks, not planned obsolescence mobility devices.

You’re right that Stein would have very little support in Congress if she won, but that’s not in the realm of possibility, but to say that lower office runs would do better as independents misses some of the peculiarities of the American electoral system:

• Elections in the United States are longer, more burdened with minutiae and uniquely expensive compared to other democracies. Without the organizational support of a 3rd party (mostly libertarian and green parties in the US as others lack numbers and resources), candidates struggle to even get ballot access for lack of money and volunteers getting signatures and clearing regulatory steps
• Speaking of regulatory hurdles, running a presidential candidate every four years in enough states maintains ballot access for down-ticket races

So you’re right that independent runs wouldn’t have the baggage that comes with third party association, but you’re missing that there are very real benefits to that association.

Of course, if we had public campaign financing and rank choice voting, working class voters could unite and not be divided against one another… Almost like it’s that way by design 🤷‍♂️

The Green Party does run candidates in more left-leaning areas… Not that they do a whole lot better in those races, but they do try more than just POTUS

This would be an unprecedented win for democracy in America, but it needs an outcry of public support to have any chance.

Look up your congressional reps here: https://www.270towin.com/elected-officials/ and contact them to urge their support.

Remember, we’re not outnumbered, we’re out organized.

Now if we could just get him to give the tiniest of shits about all the innocent Palestinians being murdered.

Seriously, the last thing the Democrats need after Trump’s Musk gimmick is a billionaire gimmick of their own.

If anyone would like analysis to ruin a perfectly good joke…

This is called antinomianism, and it is generally frowned upon.

That would be great but I’m not holding my breath.

Let me get this straight… Joe drops out and a few hundred delegates just get to choose whoever they want? Is that really how the system works?

(I’m literally asking, I don’t have a dog in this fight, I think she’s probably as good a choice as the Democrats have, just seems like a weird system)

There is no GOP, there is only MAGA and enemies of MAGA.

5th American welcomes it.

I think I remember that film, but I’m pretty sure it’s actually just a basic grasp on reality.

Evolution is so great, if it was on Windows, if use it there too. Best email client IMO
