And in general they continue to bitch regardless even if they get what they want. They’ll turn on their own politicians in an instant and dislike it even when they get what they were asking for- ie. Hochul or whomever to endorse.

You’re telling me people have to get off their ass and not just bitch online? Cmon now… /s

Lemmy will love it (and I like it) but they won’t discuss Fateh losing in Minnesota to a more moderate dem.

Overall it’s a mixed bag. I don’t think progressives will be accepted everywhere like leftists think but if he does well then more moderate cities like Minneapolis and others will actually see fit to go a bit more left and maybe elect more progressives.

It’s a start IMO. Not a silver bullet nor maxim that being progressive is a surefire winner.

I mean, we have ding dongs saying these candidates won in spite of their moderate views.

Maybe the real lesson is there is no silver bullet across the nation?

To people downvoting- notice how no one really brought up that Fateh fell short to a “moderate” in MN. My point being what works well in one area isn’t going to automatically translate elsewhere and it’d probably be important to remember that. You can’t accomplish anything if you don’t have power to begin with.

And studies show that not only does it increase participation obviously but that people actually do take the time to research and vote for candidates with views that align with theirs.

The problem with America is people wake up then immediately go back to sleep.

Maybe voting EVERY DAMN TIME will catch on at some point.

Sure it will. Economic fallout from no govt money being spent and also air travel being seriously curtailed due to ATC shortages will open things up really quick, relatively.

I feel like that’s because Chicago is all people hear of. The rest of Illinois is most definitely not that.

Meanwhile Ohio has the 3CS (Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus) and smaller cities like Akron, Toledo, Dayton, Youngstown, Athens, etc.

Any political novice could see there was no right answer there.

You can’t promise change when you yourself served in the government 4 straight years as VP. They’d question why you didn’t do any of this stuff already

Extremism. Somehow people like that think they’re better when they spread such callous indifference.

Like I get it, cruises aren’t good for the environment at all but acting like someone deserved to die for it? They want to save humanity without bothering to preserve humanity.

Yeah and he’s a shitty president at best so maybe it’s an important attribute.

Fwiw, here’s a link to the recent issues- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15045

A lot are fixed for this release. I would check that list and make sure none apply to you before upgrading. Always have a backup though of course.

Never heard of loadies but barfly was always a term used for women around me.

Great for you.

Not going to rip on your hobby or way of life. Maybe suggest you do the same to others.

There is plenty that is harmful in life but enhances it. That, for a fact, is a benefit. Sorry you haven’t grasped that that is life. If you ever had a beer maybe you’d find that you don’t even want the alcohol but found the taste is good. But heaven forbid people make their own choices abbot life without some holier than thou person coming in to lecture them.

I don’t think it’s crazy at all. The US in particular still has basically no real mass transit and bars everywhere. Everyone knows there is still drinking and driving going on. Certainly not all those people are calling ubers.

Edit- crazy to believe. Certainly is crazy to do.

It’s pretty clear you have no real concept of what you’re talking about all throughout this thread.

Best quit while you’re behind. Not everyone out drinking is getting lit or subscribing to all the other social ills you’re describing from your “observations.”

These takes are as lame as prejudging someone based on music tastes, hobbies, dress, etc.

I’ll be honest- never even heard of futo outside the context of immich (and I don’t even run it.) Interesting to hear they have anything besides that.

I hope youre not a Maine voter then.

Ridiculous purity tests. I’ve never heard of this icon/meaning before the past week but yes, apparently this is truly intentional and despite him covering it he can never regain the public trust despite ACTUAL Nazis running the show in Washington.

What a complete waste of time hammering this. But the feeling of smugness is invaluable after all.

So are the third that don’t bother voting.

How mature. Great rebuttal.
