Less than 50% of those who voted. And I doubt even all of those wanted Trump's agenda, many either didn't understand or didn't believe he would do some of the things he says.
So I disagree that the country as a whole wanted this. Obviously most did not.
The senate is weird. It's possible to lose seats even if your party gets more votes overall. 6 years ago was the Trump midterm so democrats did well. This meant a disproportionate number of senators up for reelection this year were either vulnerable democrats or safe republicans. So overall losing only 3 seats is not bad in that context.
I don’t give a shit at this point. Just stop with the fossil fuels. Whatever it takes. If employing a team of white working class farmer astronauts to run in a hamster wheel is more politically palatable then let’s fucking do it.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying here if you think this relates at all to what I wrote.
I am pretty sure it was. It may have been abandoned for a few months but I'm pretty sure I posted there once or twice. It was called foraging and bushcraft I think.
Not a big deal since there is another community already on lemm.ee but I did think it was a pretty good fit for this instance, so I was trying to keep it slightly alive I guess haha.
Admitting you're lying in the fine print doesn't absolve you from lying in more obvious marketing materials. You don't have to like it but very few people read the fine print.
I disagree but regardless, we aren’t necessarily discussing a violent revolution that immediately and instantly destroys capitalism and the state. Frankly, that is a distant possibility at this point and I’m not really convinced it’s a good strategy even if it was possible.
But it’s undeniable that direct action, mutual aid, and horizontal organizing can be an effective counter to growing authoritarianism. There are countless examples from history and recent times.
My hope is that as we begin to build these structures at local scales, we learn more about the best practices to create these types of organizations, and the ones that work will grow in size and influence, displacing violent, hierarchical structures. A sort of evolutionary rather than revolutionary process, but still arriving at the same end eventually.
Politicians can’t and won’t save us. We have to save ourselves.
Did you guys delete the local foraging community? I was looking for it and it seems to be gone.
When they’re lying to the public I think they do deserve some of the blame. “Full self-driving” is a fucking scam and Musk is a con artist.
I’m not an ev owner but I borrowed one recently and I found a lot of the chargers were in poor repair. This made it challenging to find a charger in urban areas which surprised me. More exurban and rural areas seemed to be better.
Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
I’ve been seeing this meme format for years and it still makes absolutely no sense to me.
