if its off you can't track it.

yeah I don't think a usa based platform is really "long gaming" the fee speech problem. Bluesky now shifting to monetization plans. Its a matter of time until some rich dildo buys it up. If were lucky it will be mark cuban or somebody buts its still grim prospects.

I would argue democrat donors preferred a trump win and preferred dem turnout be low because they had a decent campaign for a second and shut it down.

What your saying only makes sense if you operate from the idea dems want to win and not that they want to hand a victory their donors.

In 2016 actual democrat operative tried to twistpeople's arms to vote. This election that energy did not come from the mainstream democrats. Their pitch was "we don't need you, we want republicans instead".

The calculus is different when you recognize both parties hate you.

I like to talk to the grain harvesting robot every once in a while, really lets me feel like I'm part of a community

I agree the campaign was poor. I agree the party had small, terrible, and stupid ideas. I agree that chasing republicans is stupid.

I will still however yell at cowards who coddle people who think not voting is anything but moral cowardice. Just own it. Take some fucking accountability. Its fine to have issues and complaints, its suicide to encourage people to go full karen.

own the cowardice. Dems suck but every non voter has blood on their hands. Ignorance and apathy are not moral principles.

Its just corporations having it both ways:

When corporations benefit: Americans can read like 900 pages of fine print a minute and are all legal scholars.

When it doesn't benefit corps: Americans are cows, its offensive you're trying to make these morons fill out multiple choice papers, they might accidentally poke out an eye on the pens.

Reality: people have limits but RCV ballots are not too complicated. We see it all the time with roundabouts. When new roundabout is put in a few drivers take some time to adjust but eventually they figure it out.

The change is harder to deal with than the actual thing.

We'll just drink mountain dew, instead. It has bonus brominated vegetable oil.

I think thats what the crypto people are banking on. Rapid inflation. You're better off just buying imported goods now though, you can always sell them the crypto people at a markup later. Real goods have far more intrinsic value.

and I'll probably just pay the tariffs and move on because half the time stuff made in the US falls apart or is laced with pesticides banned elsewhere

I think you missed the part where Netanyahu just went out and said the west bank is next.

I do think like 1 million americans sending letters to the white house telling them to fuck off is a funny thing to do. How many letters can be opened by 1 person a day?
