Guessing if some stranger on the internet has voted before is something you can do with your time ig. Go off king

Because Dems are the slightly lesser evil doesn’t make them not evil 🤡

I wouldn’t vote for Trump either lmao

“I don’t want to vote for the party giving free weapons to a genocidal dictator.”

“Oh, so you’re literally a fascist?”

🤡

Just regular normal things ig

I miss 9 every day 😭

I appreciate that you shared it. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in the challenges I face with pain. I’m sorry that you have to deal with that experience.

I like to think that we’re stronger for having to go through stuff like that, but sometimes it just feels like suffering for no reason lol.

It’d be nice to not suffer from what I do, and therefore not have constant pain, but also that person wouldn’t be me ig? Idk maybe that’s stupid but I think all I can do to keep going is try to be as positive as I can be.

Sorry if I rambled here. I hope things get better for you somehow fr <3

It has a large effect on mental health and depression, too. The pain becomes sort of like being trapped under a too heavy blanket or something, and you’re always fighting with it. Good things feel less good because you’re hurting, and bad things feel worse because you’re hurting. Pain meds help a little, but it sort of numbs everything else along with the pain. The only time you can get a bit of respite is when you’re sleeping, and you better hope nothing wakes you up because then you’re laying in pain trying to go back to sleep for an hour. Awful.

call out the curator themselves so we can call them out on their shite beliefs

Libs have been saying that for decades and look at the rise of bigoted beliefs all over the world right now. Seems that’s not the way to go; if you tolerate intolerance then intolerance will win every time.

That’s very interesting, thanks. The whole tone of the second article seems so much different than how we talk about our “democracy” in Canada, where I am from. We talk about it here as a form of prestige (“Canada is so good, we’re democratic, unlike those Asian countries”), where that article made it sound like they were celebrating how it helps the people. At least that’s my vibe.

Now that I think of it, I have no idea how their governance works. We’re just sorta guided to think the communist party gets together for dinner and decides what everyone has to make for lunch on Thursdays lol. Probably interesting to look into!

B-B-Bbut I thought Biden was going to stop the fascism? If the vote is for slow descent into fascism and literal fascism, does the vote really matter? There’s gotta be something better, man. Very disheartening.

China is also leading the renewable push, and has made massive innovations in participatory democracy.

Anywhere I can read about this?

If voting stopped corruption there would no longer be corruption.

Maybe just redistribute some wealth? The richest nation in the world can afford to home everyone. Homelessness is a policy decision.

It seems directly related to me. If the US government is fine with slave labour at home, then this decision is really only because the companies sanctioned are Chinese.

I had a guy tell me the US doesn’t meddle in Central or South America anymore. 🤔

Facebook meme

You mean your mom didn’t tell you to read all the news littleblue on lemmy reads? Must have a different upbringing.

This is an awful and harmful point of view.

I don’t think I wanna ask the US “congressional research service” about the effects of US imperialism. Something tells me they have a bias, but I can’t quite put my finger on why.
