Ex-Trump Aide Says Trump’s Use of ‘Riggers’ Isn’t a Racial ‘Dogwhistle – It’s a Bullhorn’
  • That he tried to overthrow the election? That he refused to leave the office even though he lost, and then tried to coerce judges and others in his party to overrule the democracy?

    Because that's what I'm seeing here. And thats more than serious enough. No need to twist his words around and change out the letters.

  • If he was talking non stop about people nagging him for years, and in the same sentence he was still refering to people who nag him all the time, and then finished with "im so tired of all the naggers", then yes. There's no reason to believe otherwise.

    Also, isnt it bad enough already that he tries to overthrow the election?? Shouldnt that be the cause to alarm, not that if you change the letters, "election rigger" becomes "election n***r"??

  • Even if a lot of his voters are OK with it, wouldn't he still lose out on a lot of potential voters by throwing the N-word around and pissing of every non-white (and almost all white) voting american? It's inflammatory without any upside? It just makes no sense to me.

  • Just to add some thoughts: Why would he want to piss off and lose any chance of ever getting a vote from any non-white non-mega-racist ever again? Can somebody eli5 why he would shoot his foot off like that? Edit: btw I dont like Trump, I never did, and I think what he's doing is incredibly dangerous to the democracy. Im also not american, so maybe ive missed something.

    [Self Promo] I've just made Avelon (a native iOS app for Lemmy) available for download!
  • Very nice! Loving the Explore tab for finding communities, and the animations feel good!

    I have a feature request: dark mode thats more of a dark gray than "amoled black". I find the contrast of white text on pitch black too much.

    Edit: ...and iPad support would be awesome!

  • Depends on the requirements. Writing the code in a natural and readable way should be number one.

    Then you benchmark and find out what actually takes time; and then optimize from there.

    At least thats my approach when working with mostly functional languages. No need obsess over the performance of something thats ran only a dozen times per second.

    I do hate over engineered abstractions though. But not for performance reasons.

    Pew: Even amid high turnout, less than 40% of Americans voted in all three most recent national elections
  • Isn't the problem that there's only two options? Here in Norway we have 10 different parties that are all quite popular. To me having only two options seems only marginally better than 1.
