"No, I'm not doing nothing I'm raising awareness!"
  • Exactly, thank you! People went back to voting republican again since there was no Roosevelt to split the vote! Now you're getting it!

  • Uuuh, splitting hairs on my choice of words. The republican party split into two and so did the votes. The fact that I said "stole" wasn't part of the point. And ofc you're gonna say it's impossible to know..

    It's just a coincidence that in 1908 it was 6.4m vs 7.7m votes (dems and republicans respectively) and in 1912 it was 6.3m vs 3.5m + 4.1m (Dems vs republicans and progressives respectively)

    Yeah, the numbers stayed more or less the same except the republican vote got split. But yeah, that's just a coincidence, we have no way of knowing!

    Here. This is how your system actually works. Not how you believe it to work. Wilson won with less than 42% of the votes because a third party managed to be popular enough to split the votes and stole enough votes from Taft. This is what would happen if people actually listened to you. Thank fuck they don't.

    Kamala Harris Wins Nickelodeon’s ‘Kids Pick the President’ Poll With 52% of Votes, Trump Grabs 48%
  • Can confirm. Had a 16 year old work part time with me for a few weeks over the summer. Pretty cool kid, but yeah... Trump came up a couple times and both times he just repeated the bullshit that he'd heard from his parents. Sad shit.

  • Green is best because Orks are green. Yellow means more which translates to bigger explosions or wealth. Blue is lucky. Purple is sneaky. White is extra killy, usually used for melee weapons. Black is tougher.

    “Extreme Danger”: Harris Earns a Stunning Endorsement Over Trump
  • Are you writing this comment while outside actively protesting the genocide? Cause if not, then you're literally doing nothing to stop this. And no, voting third party might ease your conscience, but it's not actually doing anything for Palestinians. Like... 200+ years of pointlessly voting third party has pretty much proved that. But you use words such as "pogroms" and you believe you're right so most likely nothing I say will change your mind. But it might sway whoever reads this, so... Here's to hoping your bullshit gets understood as such.

  • Second highest office, but with less power than a random senator, as I've said. You've brought it up by implying that she's in power now and she's not doing anything with that power. And I'm telling you and everyone reading that it's bullshit because despite the name and ranking, she's powerless. Can't even vote in the Senate.

    Presides over the Senate, but can't even vote in it. Unless there's a tie. And she's an advisor to the president. Literally less actual power than a random senator.

    And then you get offended when people call you russian bots. You're either knowingly or unknowingly spreading misinformation. In the end, the result is the same.

    Do you still have to invite them in?
  • Also depends on the rules of the universe. In the Dresden files, for example, places have a defensive aura based on stuff like.. homeyness. A house that has been in the family for generations and people have lived there constantly will have a stronger repulsive aura for the fae. Whereas an apartment where a bachelor lives will have a weaker one.

    Also stuff can still enter, it's just that they get considerably weaker or completely powerless if they enter without an invitation.

  • No, the joke wouldn't have been as funny if it said "scammer" instead of "smart engineer". Plus, I think it's more a jab at engineers rather than anything. Because most would rather argue/explain the whole 10 vs 11 thing than just go "ok, sure, I can do that " and get paid.

    Even Bernie didn't vote third party when it counted.
  • Might wanna change your tactics then, bud. Your work doesn't seem to be paying off. The US has never been further from a worker state.

  • I'm sure lemmy.ml will be able to do what nobody has been able to do in the 200+ year history of the US and make third parties relevant! Great job! /s

    The meme is that you're supposed to try to improve the system in between elections, not just throw away your vote every 4 years and call it a day

    What's your favorite fantasy monster race?
  • Okay, you consider it a cheat answer, that's fair. But, just for the record, pokemon is a fantasy series. And the pokemon are a race of monsters.

    But for a more typical answer, I'd go with either dragons cause they're usually powerful and intelligent and can fly or warcraft's taurens cause they're like a hippie version of a minotaur. Strong and intelligent but with an affinity for nature. A tauren druid being a very fun combo with tons of versatility.

    How does the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles make you feel?
  • Makes me feel like when I have a small bit of a song stuck in my head and I'm desperately trying to think of what follows so that I can properly look it up but I can't. Feels like there should be more of a follow-up in the chorus after "strawberry fields forever". As it is, it feels like a jingle for a company named strawberry fields.
