Mods maybe? 🤔

Vote, just vote.

Your concerns are valid but all the Rs coming out like this is more about how terrible Trump is and less about anything else. Don’t underestimate how many moderates there are in both parties and these Rs help there - progressives need their votes. After Trump is gone, we can hopefully go back to trying to improve the voting system, pushing Dems more left and hope that anyone on the right exchanges some of their selfinterests for social interests - but that’s best we can dream for.

Agreed. It’s was very entertaining and sometimes, went far deeper than necessary - the drama was done so well.

Roll back to 2013-2015. If he would have maintained this period’s façade, he’d be rich, influential and perhaps, a positive legacy. But he had to join the ultra wealthy club and in turn, push their agenda/interests and watch the momentum he had from those few years, crumble. He’s a meme more than ever and he doesn’t care. He had a chance to do better things, but joined the wrong cult…

Best I can do is, QFT…

Don’t care - vote. 🗳️

He’s fairly moderate too, so he’d help a little there, given his record. That aside, I’d have to take a look, but he has voted more progressively of late. I really hope he’s picked as VP.

Tried looking up some news on this - anyone have a reliable link?

This really nice girl back in high school, she was Mormon, asked, “do you believe in god?” I casually replied, “no.” She seemed so distraught, “it’s so sad you’re going to hell.” She went on to explain how and why. She seemed so committed but I always wondered if she really believed what she was saying, or was just following her religion’s teaching, like a method actor getting into their character. Perhaps she expected me to be scared or ask how to avert going to hell. I don’t know, but I disliked religion somehow more than I already did after that.

There’s some interesting ways of understanding “dark energy.” This is just one.

This, 100%. Even when a case seems won, don’t give your opponent anything to muddy the water. I hope she owns this mistake and tightens her process.

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

“The Kremlin has never been richer – thanks to a US strategic partner”

I don’t know, maybe we should stop this…

Vote, vote and vote.

Dunt

The issue I have is that so many users are uneducated and read some disinformation, take it as truth and then vote accordingly. I don’t want to see certain things but I go out of my way to use multiple sources that are as unbiased as possible. But so many consume extremely biased propaganda and live according to that constructed view that they think is reality. I know there’s no easy answer, but the problem is clear and so long as the rich can easily take advantage of the useful idiots, it’s a struggle for progress in society…

I love science, like experimentally observed science or at least practical theoretical science, but Youtube tries to shove every crackpot nonsense they can at me. I watch one political thing and now they try and shove every conservative propaganda they can at me. It feels like when I was young, the internet was too much for conservitives to understand and control…not anymore. What’s the one true power conservatives have? Money. Now they’re ether buying up social companies or their CEOs left right and center - or at least bringing tech leadership into the ultra-rich fold. Where they are winning without exception, is in isolating the majority of their voters. Now, there’s no longer a shared reality and the divide seems to wide to close. Conservatives wanted brainwashed cult followers and did everything they could to make it happen. Now Idiocy seems far more real on the right with each passing year.

@missing_forklift@sh.itjust.works gave me the answer that I was originally after. Still, thank you for replying to my question.

You have to go out of your way to avoid national propaganda and put in even more effort to access other views. Half seems low but propaganda is a hell of a drug.
