While I’ve yet to see it, I refuse to believe it’s worse than Thor 4. A god butcher who is seen killing only one god? Oof.

Zinda. His face black, his eyes red.

Damn. That courtroom artist is basically saying all LM would have to do is signal his supports and they’d rush for him. Wild.

I don’t have much love for this cat, but they are treating him like he’s this deranged, blood thirsty serial killer who eats people. He murdered someone. Happens every day. The elites are really trying to send a message.

It’s bullshit that you claim it’s a higher percentage than the one I provided, but don’t actually know what it is? Look man, if you’re just giving your opinion, that’s fine. Just say so.

Thanks? By making that statement I’m sure you know the exact percentage. Feel free to provide it. I’d be interested to know.

Both sides? Good grief. Not everything has to be a you vs them. And of course there is a higher number on Twitter. They have, what, 300 million active users? And Lemmy is probably .001% of that.

Plenty of fascists on Lemmy. They’re just not well known billionaires.

Yeah the rest is fine, but bragging about being featured in a magazine is kinda cringe.

And you’re on Lemmy. Most people have their echo chamber of choice.

This is Democracy Manifest.

So unless the progressives can force a realignment along some new issue and subsume a major party, creating another party would just be handing a lot of elections over to the Republicans.

This is why lemmy was so vehemently against Jill stein and the greens even though most people on here agree with her politics more than kamala, because they saw her as sabotaging the democrats chances and handing the election to trump.

This sounds like living in a perpetual state of short term gain long term loss. Change won’t happen over night, and you may lose a few elections in the short term, but ultimately you’ll establish a party you actual want to support instead of one you’re kind of willing to tolerate.

I’m not going to criticize Jill Stein or her party for voting based on their beliefs.

I disagree, or perhaps it depends on how you look at it. If a small, vocal minority in an overall larger group begin to push policies/opinions consistently that are not shared by the overall larger group, you could argue the values of the small and larger group no longer completely align. If the smaller group continues even after being made aware those policies/opinions aren’t going to fly, one could argue they are now separate groups. I suppose it depends on how far their values have grown apart from each other.

I’m not necessarily saying that is what is happening here, but it’s no secret progressives aren’t happy with the democratic party establishment. Starting your own party might be best.

Maybe progressives should simply start their own party instead of trying to hijack a current one.

The first Sonic game. At the main screen, up, down, left, right, hold A, press start. You could jump to the final zone, if you were so inclined.

For the record, you are obviously a very negative and angry person. Which Lemmy seems to be a somewhat breeding ground for. I would encourage to spend more time offline.

It’s important to note that while several large tech companies were found not guilty of knowingly benefiting from child labor, their supply chain still benefitted from child labor; it simply couldn’t be proven they had knowledge of what was happening.

Unfortunately, based on your previous response, I do not expect you to respond in a reasonable and mature manner, and have no desire to spend anymore time with someone like yourself. This is where we sort ways. Cheers mate.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah that’s not how this works.

It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.

You made a statement, not I. Either you have evidence that most aren’t OK with that, or you don’t.

Not OP, but your smart phone may not have been assembled with child labor, but some of the components/minerals used in its construction have been tied to child labor in the past.

Most people aren’t OK with that.

What evidence can you provide to support this, or is this simply your opinion?

I didn’t vote for him, but I am chillin’. The president, whoever that may be, has little impact on a citizens day to day life. I am far more concerned of who the governer of my state is.
