No, but they kept saying it, which helped bury their other messaging. Given how insanely uninformed most voters are, what message do you think most of them got? Especially with the pile of lies from Trump and other Republicans clouding things up?
It works when it’s local, because the ping can stay low. Try it over a shitty US internet service provider from a town that’s a few hundred miles from the nearest data center and it’ll be a different story.
Wait… two sexpests aren’t opposites…
Just do yourself a favor and block the obvious bots or report them if they’re straying outside of the rules.
I noticed it a lot in “news” feeds, which I quickly blocked because I don’t want to fucking doomscroll, but they often ARE bots mindlessly mirroring “news” articles that are increasingly being generated by shitbots.
After I blocked all the bullshit, Lemmy/Piefed is actually pretty good, if a touch quiet.
They kept running on, “we’re not Trump!” instead of much of anything good to actually promise their constituents.
As the post says: A bad option doesn’t become a good option when terrible is present.
Tell that to the US Democrats.
That’s what she said! AhAhaHahAhAhaHaHa~
Good call on avoiding the live remakes. I watched a few when I had the free oportunity and the time to waste. They’re soulless trash that feel empty compared to the animated disney originals.
Well, you have to ask yourself before making comments like that… Would the story be bad because it had a black woman in it? Or would it be bad because a soulless megacorp would rip any and all meaning out of the script regardless of who starred in it?
If it’s the former, you’re being racist. If it’s the latter, why mention a black woman?
and yet that would fit the designation discussion going on. Interesting how you want to turn it in to a racist shitpost instead of discussing it like someone with more than a lonely braincell crying out for attention.
Find one that doesn’t suck. If you’ve got the money/insurance to see one in the first place, finding a second opinion shouldn’t be the end of the world.
Again, MAD only works when the damage is equally devastating on both sides.
Yes, but taking bad tacts that won’t actually change the trajectory of things is only going to disillusion people further.
I hope you don’t have to find out how naive that view is.
So you burn down the farm house. What about the fields? The equipment? The person who was kicked off the land already by then is still destitute. Now you’ve burned their old home down.
Now what? MAD only works when the damage can be equally devastating, and the community will already be devastated by then.
If you think fighting rich corporations with guns by the time they’re scooping up farms is how it should be fought, you’ve already lost.
I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m saying don’t expect easy answers like the post implies.
Yea, which will work for about 30 minutes until the police show up, who are already used to defending property over lives.
The government doesn’t have to be profitable. That’s part of socializing business cost, just like how many people that work at walmart are on food stamps. A corrupt government loves to subsidize the rich.
They’d try, but there will be corporations bidding from thousands of miles away completely out of reach of any mob action these days.
If we reach penny auction status (and we will), it will be back to functional feudalism for most.
Definitely both. Training people to believe things without evidence, or worse, “because I said so”, is in fact bad for humanity.
Neither. We’re all dead because of climate change eventually collapsing the food web and inaction from the oil industry buying out most of the world’s governments.
