They would have come to Lemmy if it was the platform they wanted. We can bitch and moan about them wanting something that we think is against their best interests, but what’ll that do?

You can’t avoid responsibility for what happens by not voting. That’s just watching the trolley run over the larger group.

SmartTube for TV and ReVanced/uYouPlus for Andriod/IOS devices. SmartTube can be tricky to set up depending on the TV, but the mobile apps are relatively simple to get working.
Honestly, I think it’ll be worth drilling the fact that it’s the Republican Party, not just Trump. Otherwise, folks deep in the cult will just use the current figurehead as a scapegoat for everything wrong with the party without acknowledging that the party itself works against them.
They probably will, anyway, but it’s worth a shot.
I can’t tell if this comment is ignorant or malicious, but I’m not sure if the difference even matters here.
What’s the point in playing nice with somebody who won’t engage in good faith?
If I’m understanding correctly, I think “ERB” here is referring to “Epic Rap Battles” which would make the “starter” the first one to rap in the relevant video.
I’m happy for those people who have enough privilege to sit this election out; but to even try and imply that the two dominant parties are even similar is an insult when only one of them wants to fucking kill me.
Even if a notable number of people voted 3rd party, they’re still going to be treated the same as those who didn’t vote at all, because in a practical sense, thats what they are.
What bothers me about the people taking the bit of time and effort to go vote for 3rd parties is that there’s really no point to it. Making sure your own vote doesn’t matter is insane to me when voting isn’t mandatory. They could’ve just done nothing and achieved the same outcome.
Many of those aforementioned nations aren’t exactly still running, though.
It’s hard to decide which line was his biggest flub, but I’d have to give it to “I have concepts of a plan.”
What do you suggest?
Certainly, you’re not just trying to spread voter apathy in the most important American election this century.
Defederation is weak sauce. Just block/tag accounts that aren’t willing to engage in good faith, and your page clears up pretty quickly.
At the end of the day, there aren’t even that many people stirring the pot. They’re just unhealthily active.
I’d be willing to bet a significant amount of the downvotes stem from this meme being nearly indistinguishable from something that gets posted on Parlor or Truth Social.
