Elon musk being like "all that money we're spending on vets could be going into my pockets."

that's what the app does

This is the literal lesser of two evils argument served on the rocks.

if its off you can't track it.

The reality is both parties hate everybody but the corporate managerial class and want to kill everyone for infinite growth. The idea that voting is somehow an endorsement is idiocy.

You pick the party least enthusiastic about killing you or you're a moron. Bernie sanders is an anomoly. The democrats never once treated trump as an existential thing - they see the next election as an opportunity to finally capture the right as voters which is their only plan.

If the realization that democrats want us all dead upsets you, you don't understand how this oligarchy works. They still fear being out of power because it means disfavor of the oligarchs, but they would never attempt winning an election by disregarding the oligarchs.

So the choice isn't which one you endorse (as only a crazy person would endorse this system) its which one is gonna fuck you up the least.

yeah I don't think a usa based platform is really "long gaming" the fee speech problem. Bluesky now shifting to monetization plans. Its a matter of time until some rich dildo buys it up. If were lucky it will be mark cuban or somebody buts its still grim prospects.

I would argue democrat donors preferred a trump win and preferred dem turnout be low because they had a decent campaign for a second and shut it down.

What your saying only makes sense if you operate from the idea dems want to win and not that they want to hand a victory their donors.

In 2016 actual democrat operative tried to twistpeople's arms to vote. This election that energy did not come from the mainstream democrats. Their pitch was "we don't need you, we want republicans instead".

The calculus is different when you recognize both parties hate you.

I like to talk to the grain harvesting robot every once in a while, really lets me feel like I'm part of a community

I agree the campaign was poor. I agree the party had small, terrible, and stupid ideas. I agree that chasing republicans is stupid.

I will still however yell at cowards who coddle people who think not voting is anything but moral cowardice. Just own it. Take some fucking accountability. Its fine to have issues and complaints, its suicide to encourage people to go full karen.

own the cowardice. Dems suck but every non voter has blood on their hands. Ignorance and apathy are not moral principles.

Its just corporations having it both ways:

When corporations benefit: Americans can read like 900 pages of fine print a minute and are all legal scholars.

When it doesn't benefit corps: Americans are cows, its offensive you're trying to make these morons fill out multiple choice papers, they might accidentally poke out an eye on the pens.

Reality: people have limits but RCV ballots are not too complicated. We see it all the time with roundabouts. When new roundabout is put in a few drivers take some time to adjust but eventually they figure it out.

The change is harder to deal with than the actual thing.

We'll just drink mountain dew, instead. It has bonus brominated vegetable oil.
