literally why is gerrymandering legal. why is america the stupid idiot country.

ndiamichelle:

This could be counterproductive if people actually vote. Everywhere. We can blame the system and politicians all we want but if people don’t get off their ass to vote correctly or just vote in general that would probably solve a good chunk of our problems.

furryprovocateur:

enthralled at the interpretation of the world you have. the best way to vote out a system that exists to suppress votes and bottleneck specific populations from being heard is to vote harder. tell me more.

toloveviceforitself:

There’s a certain kind of democrat whose whole politics is basically “if the entire population just acted in a way they’ve never acted before on a level that borders on the miraculous, we could win without changing anything else about how democrats govern or campaign!” and they think that’s not only a useful insight, but a good justification for rejecting literally any alteration of their ideology, their strategy, or even suggestions that (on the occasions they have power) they alter the rigged system that requires such miracles in the first place.

    Did db0 defederate from hexbear or vice versa? None of their posts show up in my feed anymore and I can’t see any of the linked communities or comments from this post

          So I can think of two things, one try subscribing to a few to see of that does anything. Two try going to your user settings, click on the block tab, and scroll down to blocked communities and blocked instances to see if anything has been pre-set on your end.

            It was blocked in my settings. Weird! I wonder if I somehow “pocket blocked” it or something because there was 1 other community (lemmit.online) blocked as well and I don’t block any communities or users as a rule. I was using a mobile app that had been essentially abandoned awhile ago too so maybe that created weirdness

            Either way fixed now. Thanks!

            1. I’m not them
            2. its a commentary on advocating for censorship of content that is not harmful, just that you personally disagree with, which is reprehensible
            3. u a weenie

              This comment seems really uncalled for. Number list format in 2025, filling it out to make three? So tacky. I have to side with the other weenie now just on pure style points. Fuck you for making me do this.

                I feel 0 remorse on using a numbered list. Why would that possibly be something that becomes outdated based on year? Does an efficient ordered presentation of data become passé because, I don’t know, some fucking dorks decided it’s lame or whatever

                I don’t even care about whatever the original post was about. I will die on this hill

                The points of you at either end, that kind of pucker like a convex asshole, because of being a weenie? I would say they only pointed them out, and not conclusively proved them to any high standard.

      No, though I can’t either from anarchist.nexus, might be some federation shenanigans.

      Edit: I can see comments though, just not seeing communities at the moment.

      Unless one of them is doing it in some way that bypasses the built-in lemmy instance block it looks like a you problem, they appear in each others’ linked instances lists.

        Since posting this comments now appear but communities still don’t show in feed and manually browsing they show as empty

        Very well could be on my end but I don’t know what. I don’t have anything blocked or whatever. Weird
