Yeah, I got banned from lemmy grad and hexbear awfully quick here and almost gave up on the whole fediverse before someone pointed out you can block instances.

I’ll never understand why tankies defend a colonial imperialist oligarchy like Russia when it has nothing to do with socialism/communism.

How’d they find out the north Korea one?

Majora’s mask graphic novel seems to be coming along well!

I’m sorry Frodo. The government has put too many regulations on eagle riding for it to be cost effective. Also, protestors in Gondor have concerns about flying eagles ruining the views from their huts’ backyards. You can’t simply fly the ring to Mordor.

Your issue isn’t with the lack of choice. Your issue is that your candidates don’t win.

A third party vote is still supporting Trump if you have a left mindset (and vice versa for conservatives). You CAN vote for whoever you want, that doesn’t make it moral. The purpose of primaries is for the voters within the party to get together and decide the platform and candidate for that party.

Plus, between local and state elections, you have even more say with your vote. You could even run for office locally and have a chance of winning.

Whoever you wanna write in? Unfortunately for your personal beliefs, most Americans are batshit conservatives or moderate to progressive liberals, therefore usually a batshit Republican, and a moderate dem win the primaries, which frequently have more populist candidates as an option. Sanders was in the 2020 primary. I voted for him. He didn’t win, so I voted for Biden in the general.

Maybe I’m wrong, but It feels like you’d have the same complaints you have under this system that you’d have under any democratic system of government.

Yeah! I love Biden. Between the student debt changes, build back better plan, insulin price changes for Medicare patients, helping Ukraine, etc. etc. all with only a 1 seat majority in the Senate, a conservative court that trump filled, and a now conservative house.

As for your other question, a Republic is still a form of Democracy. You have the ability to vote for whoever you want.

I mean I’d rather vote for the guy who didn’t get rid of Roe v Wade, but that’s just me.

I feel like it’s even advantageous to them to pirate. If everyone wanting to work in graphic design pirates Photoshop, they’ll know how to use it in the business world, and their work will buy it because it’s what everyone knows.

I was hoping for an Expanse meme. I didn’t get an Expanse meme. :(

I would, but I got banned for daring to disagree with their narratives. Apparently brigading other instances and users is fine, but you have the audacity to go there and debate their lunacy, and it’s ban time.

You should DM the OP.

Yeah, gotta account for inflation.

If anyone’s curious he’s talking in terms of 9/11s per capita. Americans will use anything but metric.

Futurama rule?

Tfw when they banned me for calling Biden based. 😭

The ice cream barge. 🤤
