Maybe being transparent about their manufacturing defects would have been a good start.

Ohh, all of our users are getting frequent BSODs? SMOKE BOMB!

MAGA worship their billionaire overlords. And private Healthcare. Because the socialized programs many of them benefit from are from the devil.

Litercola? Do we sell litercola?

Because latency and removing the personal accountability of not wanting to die in a car crash are a feature!

Very well said. I hated Harris’ “economic plan.” It wasn’t going to make a dent. It might get some people in rural passover states afford a home, which is great for them, but would do nothing but maybe raise costs of entry level tiny condos in any city.

But I do think they accomplished a lot in Biden’s term. If you compare the US’ inflation to other 1st world countries, we recovered far better. We were moving in the right direction. It would have been far worse with Republicans.

And they accomplished all that with a festering rot of DINO obstructionists in the senate, and a republican controlled House. They did an amazing job with the limitations they had.

But they didn’t adequately lay the blame in the right hands. They didn’t address greedy corporate Housing speculation. They tried and failed to reign in “shrinkflation”. And they failed to bring some sanity to the immigrant blaming, and instead somewhat joined in on it.

They’re a cross between BMW drivers and incapable Prius drivers from the oast when they were the first hybrids.

Aka, you have the douches driving like entitled dicks because of the speed and prestige of the brand, and then you have the eco focused clueless drivers putting around.

I tend to keep a wary eye on all teslas because either way, they’re unpredictable.

Trump is already planning on introducing a mechanism to fire generals he doesn’t like. A review board consisting of retired generals. I don’t know what would be required to pass that, but I assume a simple majority in House / Senate, plus a predetermined ruling in the inevitable SCOTUS challenge, will certainly go his way.

You (not you personally) chuckle fucks didn’t vote against this. Great fucking job.

Yep. And as much as I’d like to blame 3rd party voters, even if they all voted Harris to giver her the majority, she’d have still lost due to electoral college.

I will absolutely blame the non-voters though. And the 3rd party voters still get part of the blame.

Rofl, victim complex much? “Punching down” like you’re some repressed minority for having shitty prioritization skills. Jfc

It’s not about changing their minds, it’s about keeping them from influencing others. But yeah, that obviously wasn’t effective either.

Yep. I thought fighting the constant barrage of disenfranchisement was important during the election year (sigh). They were out in arms trying to disenfranchise as many progressive/leftists as they could. Fighting them was important to keep voters from throwing the bath out with the bathwater due to an imperfect reality.

Well, we lost. Now I can mute these pieces of shit who are gleefully watching the world burn and trolling with “it would have happened anyway under Harris!”.

This thread has tripled my block list already, and it’s going to be huge by the end of the month.

Well, impaths were rare in the federation, and this one could sense things over extreme distances. Why any creature would need to evolve the ability to sense feelings from orbit, I have no idea.

Yeah, you can fuck right off too. The news is already full of evidence that Trump is explicitly enabling Isreal to do wayyyy worse. Just like we all told you.

I’m done arguing in good faith with you asshats. Mods can remove my posts, ban me, whatever. Giving you clowns free reign to canvas lemmy with bad faith arguments just because they are borderline civilly worded is what helped disenfranchise the small slice of the internet lemmy represents.

Fuck you and fuck off. I’m done.

Eh. Fuck off. I really don’t care anymore.

You chose this. You knew exactly what was at stake, you knew who Trump was beyond any shadow of a doubt, you knew he was going to fully enable Isreal to wipe your family off the face of the earth. You knew.

I fought all the bad faith arguments flying around here and beyond. All the “never genocide” bullshit. Every day, for the better part of a year.

But you played stupid fucking games. And now we all have to find out.

It sucks because people will suffer. Likely people I care about too. But this bleeding heart “liberal” has been bled dry. I can’t muster any more fucks.

If it makes you feel any better, we’re all actually getting Australianized.

Rupert Murdoch is the cunt largely responsible for the polarizing propaganda passed off as “news” around the western world

Yeah. It’s called negotiating. You start at a number higher than what you’d be happy with, expecting to meet somewhere in the middle.

How, exactly? They own the courts, and have the presidency, senate, and likely the house. How exactly do we fight back? America gave them the authority to do anything they want that doesn’t require a super majority.

Except local refusal to enforce doesn’t really work with gay marriage. If feds refuse to accept gay marriage, they won’t be able to file jointly on federal taxes, and the protections to Rights for spouses like medical visitation / decisions would have to be repeated locally, which could (would) get challenged and ultimately overruled by SCOTUS

And yet, the Overton window isn’t wide enough to fight a tiny slice of window, which is “far right fascists”

Trump wanted to deport Haitans to Mexico. You’re not getting a free ride to Ireland. Hope you like tequila.
