That’s my point, and that’s why democracy is at risk.

How so?

Shhh im waiting to see if he answers because maybe then we will find out how “poor” he really is vs his lies about his wealth. Away with your facts and reasons!

Only because the Democrats have contributed to support a failed and broken system because it sometimes kept them in power.

Conservatives have been openly stating their goals for the last hundred years all the Democrats had to do was stop supporting the status quo.

Why would a billionaire need a bond? Could he be lying about his wealth?

It’s your fault, accept the shame and teach her.

Cue Benny Hill music.

Same, I run 3 devices all on Lineage and its great. Who know that you could still get updates and support for a device from 10 years ago, suck on that apple.

Very good article.

i cant even understand what they talk about on that instance. I see arguments about liberals, and conservatives but everything they say about these groups makes no sense at all, and I dont know anyone that holds positions or values.

they wont until the leopard eats their face. They assume they are part of the in-group and will be shocked when they find out that they were never part of the in-group, Trump is the only member of the in-group.

God everytime!

Lemmy is my only social media.

no im just trapped in an unincorporated deep Red county, in the south. I im not paranoid, im just not dumb. I know exactly which neighbours I can be open with and its a shockingly small number. I am represented by people who advocate sedition and treason, I have neighbours who openly harass people who dont publicly identify as for Trump. Moderates have to run as independents and even then they are accused of being “Democrats” their are churches in my town that burn books in mass bonfires.

I will continue to try to change things by voting for moderate Republicans because at least then my vote counts. I will keep trying to appeal to the working-class people who have been left behind by education and globalization that support reasonable labour reform so long as its presented as a conservative ideal.

I advocate using their language, and appeal to their idea of fiscal responsibility, but no… I wont make myself a target in my house. I will go to rallies, I will go to parades, I vote in every election, but I dont preach about it to neighbours.

Fair, but the challenge is that not enough Democrats support it. So while its inaccurate to suggest both parties are equal, its fair to suggest that its not to the benefit of either party and that motivates at least some members.

maybe where you live, where I live they are getting bolder, and more violent.

ha… yeah no. I dont really want to get shot by my neighbours for trying to moderate politics in my “city” I dont even feel comfortable putting political signs on my lawn.

Best quote “You gotta do what’s right even if it’s wrong”

problem is the its up to the Democrats and Republicans to choose to end the 2 party system. Which will never happen because they are both drunk with power.

I have spent my whole life advocating and voting for change and its clearly not working. maybe we can get the majority unionized and create a power block so big it cant be ignored anymore… but otherwise I just dont know what to do.

Thanks, fixed it!
