It's exhausting...
  • That's more of an issue of gerrymandering and Electoral College, which unfortunately are not even issues in the news lately. The gerrymandering is proof we elect horrible people repeatedly.

  • It's exhausting...
  • Everyone has an equal vote in the US (of course I'm not talking about felons, etc. who lost their vote). Everyone is just so scared "of the other guy winning" they don't elect the person who should win. There isn't a candidate even bothering with a "crawl back to democracy" plan with the end of gerrymandering, federal protection for absentee ballots, better healthcare laws to allow better movement between jobs (why not do Medicare For All which takes out the middleman?), etc. The people still have the power, they are too scared they will lose what position they have in society if they attempt to use it.

    Democracy isn't failing, propaganda is just winning.

    edit: Why should there be a candidate who wants to make things better? Why put resources into that kind of work when it's not even needed to secure votes.

  • Democrats say Trump is an existential threat. They’re not acting like it.
  • It's on purpose. Democrats whole platform is "other side is evil and you'll go along with anything we do." If you mention this on Lemmy, people put their tin foil hats on and call you a Trump supporter. Now we have two fascist parties that we "have" to vote for.

    But thank God those people who call me a Trump supporter are also trolling users (of most likely Asian descent) about how evil China is and they should like Biden better than whatever Winnie the Pooh's real name is.

    Edit: I just reliazed that Winnie the Pooh reference is more than about the shape of his face. I'm sorry I just reliazed that ,I never put two and two together till just now. I am very sorry about using that.

  • When existing becomes illegal
  • I think the Republican elites don't hate gays as much as they used to due to prominent GOP members having openly gay children (like McCain's daughter).

    I see it as a three way deadlock (older Republicans that are GOP) that accepted gay people, younger Republicans who are not exactly for it but don't persecute them, Trump/MTG (Trumplibicans) who just say stereotypical bigotry even though they are "sexual deviants" by their own standards.

  • Reminds me of Pokemon. I skipped out on Scarlet and Violet (9th gen) because I knew it was going to carry the issues 8th gen had. Both generations still sold extremely well. 9th gen didn't review as well 8th gen but the reviews were still carried by nostalgia and not critical enough.

  • As @[email protected] stated there are more perks than just earlier reviews.

    Sometimes a large company will stop assisting you if you go against their talking points. For example Hardware Unboxed got in trouble for saying, raytracing isn't as big of a deal as Nvidia is making it and it will remain that way for at least the next few years. Thanks to influence of several big Youtubers (like Steve Burke and Linus Sebastien), Nvidia changed their minds.

    Louis Rossman discuses many design flaws made by Apple over the years throughout their entire catalog.

    This video also came out a few days after I praise the Macbook Pro series for being higher quality then their competition as well. 😂 🫣

    Israeli forces spark devastating fire at Ramallah vegetable market

    Israeli forces ignited a devastating fire at Ramallah and al-Bireh's main vegetable market in the occupied West Bank on Thursday that has destroyed dozens of shops owned by Palestinians and caused millions of shekels in losses.

    Troops raided the neighbouring West Bank cities at dawn, firing live ammunition, stun grenades and tear gas in residential areas and the local market, known locally as al-Hisbah.

    Wooden carts caught on fire and the flames spread throughout the market and to nearby commercial buildings, wounding at least one person and ravaging over 100 stalls and shops, according to al-Bireh's acting mayor, Robin al-Khatib.

    Israel Attacking West Bank Farms

    The U.N. humanitarian affairs office has recorded 650 attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct. 7, harming residents and property. It says settlers have killed at least nine Palestinians in the territory and Israeli security forces have killed more than 400 Palestinians in that time.

    Non toxic hedges

    I'm trying to replace two dead bushes. There was one single bush (My guess is either a boxwood or juniper bush) on each side of the porch stair case. I was hoping to find something non toxic for kids, dogs, and especially cats. Most likely the cat will frequent these bushes. Everything seems to be at least somewhat poisonous from what I read on the internet.

    I would appreciate suggestions. I would prefer something that grows around 4ft tall and thrives in the USDA zone 6.
