  Voting third party is fine. Protest voting is acceptable, though this result still fucking sucks. Strategic voting doesn’t have to be the default choice.

  Anybody that did NOT vote, thinking it would be any sort of protest, is completely idiotic. Self imposed disenfranchisement only forfeits your own ability to say byanything about the results.

  I absolutely can blame them for global insecurity, the way Russia made grain prices rise by invading Ukraine.

  Americans also have the most significant impact on climate change because they’re the biggest polluters.

  That just means they’re racist too. Anything goes as long as leopards don’t eat my face!

  The internet archive is based in the US. Until they relocate to a safe alternative, it doesn’t matter how much money they receive.

  Not gonna lie, this battle will be uphill against entrenched industries like big oil, crypto, big tobacco, the military industrial complex, and billionaires like Elon Musk.

  But you can’t roll over and let these assholes ravage the country. Conscientious objection to dubious orders happened during the Vietnam War, and it can happen again if Trump goes rogue.

  Exactly. This makes the entire thing a joke.

  The court will decide acts are official when convenient (read: supports their guy).

  The Federalist Society needs to be outlawed as a terrorist organization.

  You can’t draw an imaginary line between American policy and your home country. It affects everyone when more natural disasters happen or food prices rise due to global insecurity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whelp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Privilege for you to type that. For others, like Ukrainians, the consequences are much worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True Story⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lack of accountability has been a recurring theme here. The orange man will take no accountability for attempting an insurrection, or for the hatred he encourages. Voters will not take accountability for electing a fascist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whelp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate how this picture is accurate. American inaction on climate change fucks everyone over. There’s almost no chance of convincing China and India to reduce emissions if the richest country in the world can’t be bothered to lift a finger.

  We all pay for the mental retardation.

  Correct. The time was in July but that guy missed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they attempt to abolish term limits I think we’re actually going to see a civil war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Americans aren’t special. They’re just as vulnerable to fascism as anybody else.

  The MAGATs might as well be wearing brownshirts and saluting like Mussolini.

  Don’t look up.

  Wall to wall moaning is nothing compared to the incoming shit storm of the next 4 years.

  Why not both?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you search for honest product recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to use the Wirecutter from the New York Times as a starting point, though I often ignore the products recommended because the links are typically to American online retailers that I’m unlikely to use. I pay more attention to the various aspects used to recommend their choices, then check other reviews from specialized hobbyist forums when available. Finally, if I find the product in a store I will ask to demo it before buying.

  YouTube can be helpful if you can cut through the clutter or need to see head to head testing between your short list items. Don’t blindly search there though because the algorithm is shit.
