The only remotely honest thing "Make America Great Again" could mean is "roll back everything to the Obama era, i.e. before Trump, and then we can get started doing something about Reagan." And really that's more "Make America Kinda Okayish Domestically Again."

Do you not see how easily "freedom from hate" can be subverted by, I dunno, Zionists? I don't think Canada has huge issues with that but the UK is horrific.

I don't think it's true. While I think it's possible, even likely that bot traffic outnumbers humans now, it's not humans leaving therefore not the internet being abandoned, just exponentially more bots. And while that includes bots pretending to be human, there's no proof that's anywhere near most bot traffic.

Eh, not really. I barely see ads and I'm fine tuning out the ones I do see.

Granted, I'm not the type to go on those really dramatic anti-advertising tirades you see around.

Heroes are heroes because they're extraordinary. No shame in not being extraordinary.

Trump could actually salvage his legacy and maybe win Republicans 2028 if he did that tbh

You, tourist, not tipping ain't gonna change shit, it just leaves a working class person hungry. At this particular World Cup it's probably an at least somewhat well off customer leaving a working class person hungry, given how expensive tickets are.

You know what would end tipping culture? Unions. Act annoyed that it hasn't happened if you want, but it's not yours to change. For as much as Europeans like to lecture Americans about ineffective protest methods, they think doing something that benefits only them is a protest method. Don't go to restaurants in America if you can't accept this. Yeah I know, Lemmy people don't visit America, blah blah blah royal you.

I don't normally like generalizing people based on country or continent but I read it so damn much that I really stop giving a fuck when the people doing it reveal themselves to be massive hypocrites. It's like listening to a "do as I say not as I do" parent. (btw what's up with y'all condemning nativism in America and then falling hook line and sinker for it when it's your countries? I see that a lot. Yeah I know, Statue of Liberty poem, but the racist narratives are bullshit everywhere.) If the way I lean is a sign of entitlement, I better see you willing to confront YOUR entitlement.

Never been proven, and I'd bet against it. People overlook that 2024 was a bad year for incumbents overall.

It's like Microsoft doesn't understand why people pick Windows over Mac OS.

In 200 years people will wonder why so many English words used to describe fiction and pornography are loaned from Japanese.

Whenever people start talking about "opsec" and it's not people doing sensitive work I'm just like "what ops?"

I really don't think the average Lemmy user has TikTok.

He'll be dead.

He's telling conservative men to restrain their wives from voting.

The auto strike has a 75% approval rating. That's way bigger than most things in US politics. Not supporting the auto strike is a losing issue.

I mean, I use LibreOffice, but for people not that tech savvy it sucks they won't have a basic rich text tool included with Windows.

I get where this comes from (look up why USA and Canada celebrate Labor Day rather than International Worker's Day) but it's just symbolism, a frivolous issue. Pushing frivolous issues reinforces one of the negative perceptions of the American left common among both centrist Americans and international leftists. People want healthcare, vacation days, material improvements. Not a debate over when a national holiday is.

There are poll headlines I pray are true and ones I pray aren't...but say it with me:

POLLS. DON'T. MATTER!!!

It's because YouTube used to be mostly independent creators, even when people first started making money off it. That was the sales pitch.

Walz and AOC are the candidates worth talking about right now, because they're the ones showing leadership.

Go away, Kamala. And Biden, along with plenty of others.
