I used to make the same arguments but I’m middle aged now, have been supporting the left, volunteering, knocking on doors, donating, etc. for over 20 years now; but in all that time, shit has only gotten worse. I’m saddened every day what I’m leaving my children and it makes me feel awful to know that they will be fighting all the same fights I have and even more. I’m definitely no turnip supporter but I no longer believe that there will be any functional difference regardless of who wins. The ship is going down no matter who is captaining.

I would hold my nose and vote once again but even the best possible outcome is still a shit sandwich I’m not willing to take another bite of. So, I’m out, and yes, I do know that’s what they want, I just don’t care anymore.

yeah, this one has broken me, there's no way I can support anyone who's currently running. I'll probably write in myself which I know is a waste but I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter anyway. we get to choose between genocide and the death of the nation, or take the comedy option on the guy who drove his wife to suicide while high on heroin to, I don't know, give the brainworms something to do while dying of mercury poisoning...

it’s like we have all watched these dystopian future movies and instead of heeding their warning, we all said “hold my beer”.

Oh, I’m totally kidding, it would be soul crushing (crusher?) to hear her voice coming from these nightmares.

This is not the AI I was expected after growing up with Star Trek. I’m trying to picture just what horrors the replicators would come up with if hooked to this abomination.

Then the other clowns go and steal scarjo’s voice instead of Majel Barrett. What a future we’re building here…

I have no opinion on the Star Wars/Dune debate but that is one fantastic comment. Kudos to the author, brought me quite a smile.

Just like their name, it’s just a slogan. They wrap themselves in flags and bibles and folks fall for it every time.

Consumers are so demoralized by inflation and high rates they've given up on saving for the American Dream and are spending money instead, economist says in c/news@lemmy.world

Agreed! The phone I’m typing this on right now is dressed in my finest yellow TPU.
