This shitshow of an election is really getting on my nerves. This is not news, this is garbage speak out of a garbage person. And I have to read all these garbage headlines here because it is very much possibe that these garbage people will get elected. How low can you sink, america?
I have a set of uBlock Origin filters I turn on in the "my filters" tab when this garbage gets too exhausting.
Replace with your Lemmy instance domain and keywords of your choice!
Aren't you worried about accidentally blocking information about Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration?
It's a risk I'm willing to take!
I went to a bar with some cousins last night and the Tigers game was on some of the TVs. Half the commercials were political ads. There was no sound and CC wasn't on but sweet Jesus I was so sick of it. I'm trying to avoid watching sports in general just because it's gonna be nothing but the same crap for the next 2 months
...and the text messages, and the canvassers, and the snail mails, and the billboards (if you live where they are allowed), and and and.
Wish it would all just go away, I'll vote how I want despite all the waste of media.
Politicians should get some sanctioned debates and interviews on CSPAN and that's it.
It's all because the US has a never ending election.
For a lot of countries, the average election campaign is 30 days.
This is how Nazi Germany happened and we’re blindly walking right into it.
