Until 1968, presidential candidates were picked by party conventions – a process revived by Biden’s withdrawal from race
  • I'm sorry, but HARD disagree. Trump will always win the debates to Trumpers. As a conservative, I unfortunately have to interact with Trumpers. They thought he won because he talked over Biden. Talking points? Doesn't matter. Logic? Doesn't matter. He just has to "shut down" Biden by not letting him speak and talking louder. In their eyes, Harris will get absolutely destroyed

  • This guy should be in prison.
  • Turbo cancer is real bro. It uses your farts to spool up and spray cancer cells into your heart that spreads them everywhere. Remember to breathe though, otherwise the air/cancer ratio will be wrong.

    Edit: Er, exhaust from the EXHAUST MAINFOLD feed turbochargers, not the exhaust from the tailpipe. Also, it doesn’t add fuel, it pushes more cold air so that you CAN inject more fuel. Please don’t ask me to revise my turbo cancer analogy. I don’t know enough about the cardiovascular system to update it

  • Trump says he'd like to take Kim Jong-Un to a baseball game
  • Take you out to the ballllll gameee. Because you make me look tameeeee. But once I learn from you and start my term, I’ll change the term to last a thousand and one years… oh I’ll take you out to the ballllll gameeee

  • AOC says many who want Joe Biden off ticket also want to remove Kamala
  • I have principles. I just don’t feel the need to broadcast them. And it’s irrelevant here because the point is I like people who have principles and stand by them - no matter what their viewpoint is. I may disagree with them, but I can respect that.

    What I can’t stand are the spineless people who change their viewpoint at the drop of a hat.

  • AOC says many who want Joe Biden off ticket also want to remove Kamala
  • It doesn’t matter to me what principles. To me, even I disagree with them, having principles and holding to them is what I like in a politician.

    And I hate everyone who tells me how to vote. Everyone voting who they actually believe in is how democracy works. You can disagree and debate, but at the end of the day everyone should be free to make their own decision and have their own opinion.

  • AOC says many who want Joe Biden off ticket also want to remove Kamala
  • I mean, as a kid, it certainly appeared that they did to me.

    And people with principles getting kicked out of the GOP for having a backbone is exactly why I am very hesitant to vote GOP at the moment.

    As a conservative independent, I don’t /mind/ voting GOP but you have to give me a real candidate. I’m not going to vote for any republican who capitulates to Trump or endangers healthcare.

    Like, I don’t personally believe we should be pushing LGBT or abortion. But if someone is actually LGBT or actually requires an abortion, we should treat them humanely because they are, well, humans.

    What I really don’t like are the vote Republican or vote Democrat no matter what people. It’s contributing to the terrible political climate. Like I don’t like people who do things just for donors or votes. That’s where the principles come in. I want people who believe in what they are doing, or trust the people who know what they are doing.

  • What’s the blood equivalent to “fly crippin’”?

    I am not affiliated, just like music from both sides

    I like cars but…

    I can’t help but think that cars (EV included) just aren’t the answer. I feel like bikes aren’t the answer either. I feel like the metro and high speed rail are.

    Most people don’t drive because they like driving (US), most people drive because they have to. And that sucks. You shouldn’t feel like you’re forced to drive. Because that’s auto insurance and auto registration that you have to pay.

    You can’t eliminate roads altogether. You need at least one or two lanes for fire trucks, ambulances, garbage trucks, etc. but you can create pockets of no car zones.

    People like me who like cars, should be able to have places we store our cars. We should have places where we can explore the limits of our cars instead of driving through traffic. But that should be a strictly extracurricular activity.

    In the no car pockets, you should be able to walk to a grocery store, hardware store, that has what you need. You should be able to have mixed zoning. Single family units shouldn’t be the norm. If I own a car but it’s not my dedicated form of transportation, I can buy a cooler car and I don’t need a garage next to where I live to store it. I can store it outside no car pockets so that I can take public transport to my car and then take my car to the track.

    Yes, it’ll take awhile to get there but why aren’t we doing more to that end? Am I too idealistic?

    Is there a way to block an instance?

    …. I have no interest in yiffit.net

    Why do so many lemmy instances have non-traditional TLDs?

    I’ve seen:

    • .ml
    • .social
    • .world
    • .cuz

    Is it due to cheaper registration and/or renewal fees? Or are there simply more availability on those TLDs?

    Is there anyway to turn off swipe to upvote?

    I have accidentally upvoted two things that I did not intend. I don’t intend to ever swipe to upvote - but I would like to swipe to go back. Is there anyway to make the swipe to upvote a choice?
