You love this line, it’s your go to NPC response. You may not have written the article, but by posting it, you are promoting it.

You’ll gish gallop around that fact, I’m sure. But you constantly post inflammatory articles and then claim that it’s okay because you didn’t write the article. It’s not okay, and you’re supporting the misleading and inflammatory content by doing that (but of course, you already know that).

I can vouch for the same thing, I’ve been quickly down voted into the negative deep in his chain of comments before. He totally does vote manipulation.

These initiatives were started by a business man from CA who moved his company here because he thought WA was less left. He was wrong and is now trying to block any taxes he can. Fuck Brian Heywood and the GOP.

Bazzite is where it’s at for gaming. Even more stable than PopOS and runs games very well out of the box.

I use FairEmail these days. It might have tag support, if it does though it’s not enabled by default. It has no AI features.

Since the title wasn’t clear on who the author is classifying as ordinary:

There are also the hundreds of thousands of Russians who left home because they did not want to have anything to do with Vladimir Putin’s war — or were forced out, accused of not embracing it enough. These low-profile dissenters are subjected to surveillance and kidnappings, too. Yet their repression happens in silence — away from the spotlight and often with the tacit consent, or inadequate prevention, of the countries to which they have fled.

Also:

Some of the methods are especially insidious. Lev Gyammer, an exiled activist in Poland, has been receiving texts for two years, supposedly from his mother. “Levushka, son, I miss you so, when will you visit me?” Another reads, “Son, I’m waiting for you. Come back soon.” He ignores them: His mother, Olga, died five years ago. Another Russian expatriate — whose elderly parents are still alive and very sick — chose to believe it when his parents’ nurse of many years told him, over the phone, of a fire in their apartment. He rushed home from Finland and was immediately taken to prison and tortured, according to Mr. Smirnov. Of course, there never was a fire.

Those who cannot be tricked back to Russia are subjected to surveillance. An employee of an organization that supports L.G.B.T.Q. people was walking her dog around the neighborhood in Tbilisi, Georgia, when she noticed that she was being followed by a drone. It was an evening in early May — two years since she’d fled Russia with the rest of her colleagues. She hurried back to hide at her apartment but could still hear the buzzing. She followed the noise to the balcony and came face to face with the device, hanging there within arm’s reach.

I think the only time I’ve experienced this is when I had my phone off for weeks and still used Gmail. It spammed me on boot with tons of old email notifications.

Musk sharing pro-Russian content and ideas?? No way!

Ok 👍

I remember that tons of people were super apprehensive to change the candidate with such little time left. I’m glad Biden’s campaign didn’t listen to that, because Kamala is way better in every way.

anything but realize they’ve been conned by the orange donut

who cares what the pollsters say, just fucking vote

The recent findings from the AP-NORC survey show that a significant chunk of Trump’s supporters might be more inclined to believe what he says about the upcoming election results than they are to trust government certifications of election results.

About two-thirds of Republicans trust Trump’s campaign at least a moderate amount to provide accurate information about the results of the 2024 election, while only about half say the same about the official certifications of results, the survey found. By contrast, about 9 in 10 Democrats trust the government certification at least a moderate amount, and an overwhelming majority, 82%, also have at least a moderate amount of trust in Harris and her campaign.

Most Americans — around 7 in 10 — trust the government certifications of election results at least a moderate amount, according to the survey. Majorities also trust national and local TV news networks, as well as local or national newspapers, to provide accurate information about the outcome of this year’s presidential election.

Hey, if it ends up saving time and stress after those two days it was worthwhile.

Wait, but the folks on lemmy.ml told me that a vote for Kamala was the same as voting for Trump, especially the single issue voters on Palestine. How is it possible that Trump is more dangerous‽

Those budgets get changed constantly, and if you think Trump and the GOP won’t change them you’re a bigger idiot than I initially realized.

I’m very aware it’s bipartisan, do you think that there are no progressives in congress? Also, that kind of defeats your own logic - since congress is bipartisan and will continue to vote for more weapons to Israel, Trump will not stop a single shipment and will actively lobby congress members to create more bills for more weapons. That is exactly the point people are trying to get inside your head: that Trump will only accelerate the shipments. You’re so close to realizing the truth, but I doubt you’ll do it.

I’m not going to continue to explain to you how US politics work and how single issue voting supports Trump. That’s on you, it’s not libel if you just can’t understand politics. Keep supporting him by proxy though, I’m sure that will end well for Palestine.

She is status quo, and therefore better than Trump who is worse than status quo in every subject. She’s not better for Palestine in general, but she is better than Trump for Palestine.

Anyway, I’m done explaining the basics to you. You know who I’m voting for, and I know you’ll throw your vote away to empower Trump, so at least we’re on the same page there.

He will make it worse, because he is a fascist. It’s not magic, basic knowledge of how congress and fascism work. Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t make it “magic”.

They are not fully Zionist (there are multiple progressive reps in congress), and if you think that they’re the same as the GOP on this then you are either not from the US or are not aware of how US politics work. And if you are living here in the US, I’m sorry that our education system failed you and that you are being taken advantage of by the GOP. I hope you’ll retrospect and realize that single issue voting is not the play and only serves to hurt those around you. But you probably won’t, you’d rather cry and put your head in the sand while you and Palestine get shit on by the GOP.
