It’d definitely be a more worthy destination for my tax dollars than where they’re currently going. I support this initiative.

Makes me wonder about the connotations behind Emily Dickinson’s family name…

I deleted my Reddit account back when they fucked over the 3rd party apps, but I still do browse their site. Much as I think that Lemmy is the superior platform, Reddit still has a huge numbers advantage, and so the amount of content over there is much greater than here.

Any time I go into the comments section, though, I am reminded that Reddit is a shithole. So I try to stay out of those and just read the linked articles.

I think you’ve completely misunderstood what has happened in this conversation, and instead of looking at it with fresh eyes and realizing you’ve fucked up, you’re doing the whole Skinner meme and going: “Am I having a problem understanding the context? Nope - it’s everybody else who’s wrong.”

Edit: Like, I get it. Dude’s from lemmy.ml, the bad place with all of the tankies. He might even be a tankie, in which case, fuck him. But I think that if you look at this thread with fresh eyes, you’ll realize that he was not defending Trump, but pointing out that “they rigged the election” is something that Trump has said continuously for more than 5 years about Biden, and so when he says: “they rigged the election”, you have to kind of assume that that’s what he’s talking about.

Edit #2: Then again, you do come off as incredibly smug, so maybe you are incapable of removing ego from the equation.

Bro - Trump has been yelling that Biden rigged the 2020 elections for more than 5 years now. He started saying that Biden rigged the elections a couple of months BEFORE the elections even took place. It’s like his fucking catch phrase at this point.

I don’t know if you’ve just been living under a rock or whatever, but the guy you responded to absolutely was not endorsing it. He was just referencing it. It’s something that Trump rambles about constantly.
