You lumped a huge percentage of people as putting their fingers in their ears.
Maga is going to vote maga. And there's a huge chunk that didn't vote or were surprised Biden dropped out. Those folks didn't put their fingers in their ears. Like Bernie said, they were ignored.
That's my take.
Bro I was alive during Rodney King riots.
Doesn't mean my opinion is more valid than someone actually there.
Ah yes, now that you made fun of the prior commenter, we have convinced the world and now Kamala is president?
Bernie is fucking right.
Probably because he's offering them a solution to there problems, deport the immigrants and bring manufacturing back. His plan is dumb and won't work but at least he's putting something forward unlike Harris who says everything will stay the same.
This is exactly what I was pointing out to my friends. Every one of us are making six figures, and could not understand why anybody would vote Trump.
And I asked them how many people in their lives are poor, living paycheck to paycheck. I have family members who are working two or three jobs to get by. All the work Biden did is not being seen or recognized by them.
Are they are under-educated yokels? Are they morons for not keeping up with politics? You can call them what ever you want. Theyre still a voter.
Face it: what they're hearing from Democrats vs what they're hearing from Trump are pretty clear cut and we can stay in this echo chamber all we want on Lemmy. Those folks aren't listening to us. They're just trying to survive and will vote accordingly.
If you're where I'm at, the homeless are actively vandalizing apartment complexes owned by real estate giants.
The case is linked to a previously reported bird flu outbreak in an egg facility.
This was actually my life a few years ago.
I was hardening our applications to stop scraping and automation bots.
Then contributing to open-source to have better scraping and automation.
I wasn't purposely creating loop holes or anything because that's highly illegal. It's about making sure both sides "play nice", because the automation bots are frequently used by spammers/evildoers.
It's wild that there's so many stupid people who seem to have forgot what kind of shit Trump pulled during his administration.
I was laugh-crying when the EU made that comment about the fate of the world being on some rando US state.
America needs to be downgraded in terms of reputation. We aren't protectors of the world, we can barely help ourselves.
Then don't vote for me?
I'm not a public figure. But I absolutely hold them to a higher standard.
Sam Adam sucks. His whole platform is shitting on other candidates
Really? A woman in a wheelchair is the hook?
Many of these people struggle for funds to advertise, and this guy turns his ads into attacks.
Sam Adams just looks like a privileged dick.
Local politics doesn't need this dirt slinging. State your position, how you'll approach it and move on.

I worked at a few local boutique stores supplying them with IT work. Boutique like they sell art, hand crafted stuff, book stores, local hardware shop, etc.
None of them are breaking past $25 million in revenue.
Many are happy to hit $2-3 million, which gives them enough to pay their staff of 5-10 ppl.
I can't imagine who would be opposed to this that isn't brainwashed by corporations.
Oregon voters to decide on ballot measure to give every resident $1,600 that has sparked massive opposition fundraising - oregonlive.com
If approved by voters, Oregon would be just the second state to offer some form of basic income to all residents.
If approved, Measure 118 would institute a 3% tax on most corporations’ total sales in Oregon above $25 million and distribute the money equally among residents of all ages and incomes. The system would go into effect next year.
Thanks for sharing that!
Why I still self host my servers (and what I've recently learned) - Christian Hollinger
A short story on why I still go through the effort of self hosting servers and some things it taught me recently.

A missing newlywed nurse has been found dead – and her neighbor charged with her murder
Three days after a just-married Oregon nurse was reported missing, she has been found dead and police have arrested one of her neighbors.
Melissa Jubane, 32, was reported missing on Wednesday after she didn’t arrive for her morning shift as a nurse at Providence St. Vincent Center in Portland, “raising concerns among her coworkers, friends, and family,” the Beaverton Police Department said in a Saturday morning Facebook post.

Is there a way to apply and be a scab?
But id be the absolute worst employee. Like they'd tell me to do something and I'd do bare minimum while also shouting, "Well shit y'all can use a union."
I'm fully employed already in a salary position in a major tech company.

Scary. Ive been to a few of these shows and was considering this one, so I'm familiar with their feats.
Hope it's not a serious injury
As someone who lives here:
This is real.
Honestly I love self checkouts when I'm only grabbing a handful of things.
The issue is that a lot of theft occurs with self checkout, as people are checking out 2-3 things but secretly standing away a pile of things and walking out of the door.
Self checkout at this WinCo led to multiple security guards stopping people from exiting until they can review your order.
It's moreso theft.
Normal photo of WinCo? No sir! This is a WinCo that got rid of its self check out!
My local Wincos had a self checkout, and only have 1 or 2 cashiers open. They used to have two security guards and three cashiers managing the self checkout, with a massive line of people all the way to the back. It was like that for two years.
Today, I visited and they took the whole thing down, while having 5 checkout lines open. No security guards.
Real pleasant experience.
