Oh my God we need ranked choice voting, it should be a top priority but I never hear it even mentioned. It fixes so many issues and obliterates the 2 party system. But we just can’t have nice things.

Some of those that burn crosses Are the same that hold office

(from the show outside the DNC in 2000. Watch it if you haven't)

I just see *******

Good god this feels like the only place on the internet right now with decent, reasonable, human takes. Thanks for typing this

The vast majority of accidents are caused by sober drivers. Thank you for doing your part to keep our roads safe!

I take it you're tall and have a short counter?

I bet this will make it into the writing of Hifi Rush 2. (Tango Gameworks got bought by Krafton). The whole game is refreshingly unabashedly anti corporate and dunks on corporate culture in every way they can

Seconded. “There is no ethical consumption under capitalism” type shit. Pick your battles.

We'll have to push back with pointing to the decentralized nature of the fediverse, and that there's gonna be crazies on some instances. I always use email as an analogy when explaining Lemmy, maybe we could continue that and argue you wouldn't blame all of email infrastructure if an extremist had a gmail or Hotmail or whatever.

Actually now that I read that, it just might be more confusing. But there's gotta be a counter angle to argue to get ahead of people thinking "Lemmy=bad"

Just signed up to donate 5 euros a month. Took me about 45 seconds.

Streisand effect time? Gonna follow this person now.

I was there at one in Los Angeles. Good vibes. I keep thinking that there is simply no good communication methods available for a movement like this. Our social media and even direct messaging is owned by billionaires. They will silently shut down any organized movement to make people stay home and feel hopeless as they doomscroll. It's happened to me, but today renewed some home. The public needs to adopt fediverse apps, broadly and quickly. And the fediverse has to be ready for the public. It has to be easy to use, easy to explain, have name recognition, and have content to follow. With these protests, I want to convince people to move to fediverse apps but I feel like I don't have a good elevator pitch. How do I get people who want to get involved, who might have been on Reddit, to jump over here to Lemmy? A business card?? Sticker? A sign? What would go on it, "Join the fediverse! Dump billionaire owned social media"? I'm rambling at this point I feel like but these are my thoughts

Ah time to make use of my massive tungsten cube

Best way I've heard to describe him is, "at least he's lawful evil"

And if he were to run for a house seat, and we get 2/3 of congress to vote for a package to do this, we could make him president by impeaching and removing POTUS, VP, and have him be speaker of the house and succeed into the presidency for a special term.

Wishful thinking but it would technically be constitutional. I've tossed this idea and many others in my head about how to get massive support across the country to accomplish something crazy bold like this but I could go on and on and there's lots of what ifs
