harris' words said that she was trying to help, but her actions say otherwise; so it's the same result either way.

But they spent the last eight years blaming their losses on anyone but themselves, so I wouldn’t assume they’ll start looking in the mirror now.
don't expect it: they've been doing stupid shit like this since 1984 (at the least) when they could have used the thousands of deaths at reagan's hands against him; but decided not to go too "political" with that human sleeping pill named mondale and the apologist named ferraro and then again in 2004 with the human ent named kerry.
same here and living through multiple repeat episodes since 1984 have that taught me that the despair will turn into depression if i don't take action.
i hope it works out for you.
i've also been banned for sharing controversial opinions despite being as respectful as possible and i think that's to be expected if you try to share dissenting perspectives in instances that are unfriendly to it in the tribal environment that defines all social media today.
american politics has morphed into intense tribalism as evidenced by successful efforts like republicans labeling their old guard as rino's in their rightward shift and democrats demonizing their leftists as tankies in their own similar rightward shift; both of these are one of many examples that all serve to drown out all rational discourse and have led us to our current situation in both the election and the lemmyverse.
i've had to switch social media platforms since before it was called social media and doing it so many times over the decades has taught me the hard way not to become so entrenched in any of them that it becomes "painful to leave"; doing so turns that punishment into a reflection of the punisher's character.
there's little point in trying to be part of a close minded fold if you don't naturally fit in; no matter how much of an overwhelming majority it is; and trying to do so will only help make their punishment worse for you if you can't make it work on the short leash that they will put on you.
you have alternatives on the lemmyverse and they're self sustaining due to that overwhelming majority's actions. they can work for you if you don't want to be on a lemmy leash; but only if you can accept that their own tribalism is born out of experiences like the one you're having right now and use your own experiences to try to understand where they're coming from and what they're trying to share. you will fail many times if you do and they will hammer you on it; but they have their own experiences with leashes and punishments like yours and that makes them more likely to know how to turn something like a ban into a chance to learn.
people have been beating this drum for decades and i, for today only, am wondering if it's having any impact despite it being completely true and easy to see.
what are your boot options listed in your firmware/bios? is usb included among them?
if it applies to your situation: system76 has support options.
in the short term: do something that helps you cope with our reality.
in the long term: reach out the people who both love and respect you and tell them how you feel. mutual aid is how we survived every time there's been a hostile government and it'll work again. we've been here before, we've survived, and we will do it again.
she didn't even win the popular vote and there's aren't enough leftists to keep up that blue wall.
Use tor also
Even if every single leftist voted for Kamala, she would still lose; there aren't enough leftists in this country to restore that blue wall.
She lost because of the genocide and alienating her base while trying to become a diet republican.
Very true; people should not be making decisions on silly inconsequential little things like a genocide.
do you have sudo access and are there any rules in /etc/sudo* that match your username or any of your groups? which distribution?
