While voter apathy is a big problem, it is likely that voter suppression targeted at the tie breaking areas has more of an effect on the overall outcomes. Suppression includes duscouraging engagement, leading to apathy.

Like I have voted in every election that I could, but my electoral college votes always went to the person I voted against. Even locally the vast, vast majority of my votes were for the losing party. It is really hard to not be apathetic, and for me voting is a breeze.

Real patriots love unique animals on any continent!

Buddy Jesus is the best fictional Jesus.

This is a post is a follow up to SCOTUS ruling that the president has the same powers as a dictator.

No, the point of the argument is to convince the people who are not planning to vote at all to show up.

The Dems and their constituents are not ok with this power for the president.

I just made a comment as a contrast to the Republicans who stacked the courts to get this decision so they could abuse it.

The only people who are ok with this are the Republicans.

Alao if the airflow atarts because it it bringing in toxic gas, or oxygen that instantly fills a room that was without enough.

I didn’t say anything about them fixing it, just not abusing it.

Toastify is apparently something used in the lemmy software to do notifications.

“Toastify is awesome” appears to be the default text. Some other errors that are clear have the same text and colorful square formatting.

So when you see that it is like seeing an error message for “something went wrong” but silly instead.

Any president can get away with it, but only one party’s candidates will actually do it.

The party that put these fascist judges on the bench will do it, in case that wasn’t obvious.

The convicted rapist/felon who constantly sounds like he is sundowning at every event including the debate, and openly states he will be using fascist tactics to punish his political enemies, but he does so without stuttering!

I like their version of lucky charms more than the original!

Actually I like all of their knock off stuff more than the originals.

The giant bags of knock off cereal have had resealable bags for years, maybe decades. Good to see the overpriced stuff catching up!

Ah yes, totally comparable to a president assassinating his political rival on US soil. Great comment!

They took a torch to your constitution. All for the sake of a very, very evil man.

The heritage foundation has been working on this long before the angry orange was a viable candidate. He is just the current face because he is belligerent enough to follow through on what they want to do and does a bang up job of riling up the conservative base.

If he was out of the picture they would be doing the same things with someone else who wouldn’t be nearly as effective, but they would still be going down the same road.

Textbook step by step fascism.

Banning blatant slurs or directly offensive names is understandable, but unless Harriet means something really offensive there then it is just silly to have that restriction.

The article points out that it is mostly to conform with language structure, but that is still a bit heavy handed.

Valid!

The ability to change it later is also valid!

Valid if you aren’t running dynamic sequel without sanitizing your inputs!

Also, I would recommend blocking users moreso than communities. Once you start looking for it, you realize that like 90% of these posts are made by just a few people/bots.

I wish there was an easy way to block everyone from an instance, like *@shittylemmyinstance.poop or something. Yeah, I do have one instance blocked to avoid the content, but the posters seem fine, but there are a few where blocking users one at a time is like whack-a-mole.
