So you are saying it was more of a can't can't?

I always upvote the showdy and our cream corn overlords.

Authoritarians are authoritarian first. Everything else is a very distant second. I really hate when people call Marxist leninists/tankies fascist. They do a lot of the same things but there are distinct differences which makes one different from the other.

I think with the heavy resurgence of fascist politics around the globe right now. A lot of people sort of just learned the term Fascism and just randomly apply it to things it shouldn't be. The truth is Marxist leninists are to tankies what Liberals are to fascism. And the funny thing is both groups will usually downvote that heavily LOL. Despite it being a basic fact of their general authoritarian Behavior.

Lemmy.ml federates with hexbear and grad. As a world user I don't see hexbear and grad because world blocks them thankfully. Unless you are on server X what server X blocks in no way impacts what you see. So they need to petition their local admin.

That said. I think the only reason world still federates with lemmy.ml. is that so many open source projects communities are still there. They need to get moved off to proper instances like KDE or Mozilla have done. Or we need to start a dedicated instance for it.

It's almost like we shouldn't have campaign cycles that run for years at a time. I think most sane countries have their entire election season run the span of just a couple months.

The answer is almost always incompetence over malice. But as Missourian I can say in this case that there is a heavy dose of both.

Hex bear and Leningrad are both defederated. Just lemmy.ml isn't which I have blocked. Mostly because it's annoying ending up on one of their communities and then having them get all upset when you point out basic facts.

Only potential to those not paying attention. I'm not saying people can't move beyond their past and better themselves. Tulsi hasn't and won't. Which is why despite voting for sanders in the 16 and 20 primaries. Tulsi was the only candidate I liked less than Biden in 20. Tulsi and biden were the two I disliked more than Harris. So we're definitely moving in the right direction.

That pretty well astutely outlines the trick and pretty much every district. Anywhere state level Republicans have had any level of control they've made voting harder for non rural areas. Cutting polling places hours Etc and making even waiting harder. I just hope everyone turns out. The alternative there will be no coming back from at least in my lifetime.

Yes that's probably a better metric realistically. Well I mean of course it is better than a republican recommending a Democrat LOL

I'd say there was always a reasonable chance giving demographics and past trends. But that is definitely surprising and does bode well.

Wow that wasn't worse than I thought. It's kind of exactly what I thought. But then I've been paying attention so I suppose that was kind of obvious.
