Dem supporters have been holding their noses for 50+ years and voting for the “lesser evil”. If that has brought us to this election, where your choice is between “genocide” and “genocide +”, isn’t it obvious that voting for the “lesser evil” just inevitably trends towards the greater evil over time? It is not a successful strategy at mitigating harm.

Trans people, LGBT people

Harris just said “I believe we should follow the law” when asked whether trans people should have access to gender-affirming care. This is leaving it to the states, which is essentially banning the existence of trans people in large segments of the country. She does not care about trans people or LGBT people as a whole.

Abortion rights

Roe was overturned under Biden, and Harris has not said she would stack the court or similar. She has said she would sign into law a bill passed by congress to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, but the dems almost certainly will not control the senate with a filibuster-proof majority, and even if they did they’d find some designated bad-guy who would turn coat to stop it (see: Joe Lieberman, Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema). Harris will not do anything to protect abortion rights.

Ukraine

Which will lead to more Ukrainian deaths: the war coming to an end because US aid ceases, or a meatgrinder continuing for years which the Ukrainians have no chance of winning anyway? Which is more important: lines on a map, or actual human lives?

Black Lives Matter

Harris was a prosecutor. She’s a fucking cop. She’s VP of Joe “We have to fund the police!” Biden. She wants to build Trump’s border wall. Harris does not care about black people.

Palestine

Harris fully supports the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. Her VP, Walz, has said that Israeli expansion (IE Greater Israel) is key to US interests. They may actually be to the right of Trump on this issue just because Trump doesn’t have any actual political beliefs other than “make Trump richer”, while Harris and the dems are rabid zionists.

He’d be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he’d never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.

Wouldn’t work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he’s a “good christian man” in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don’t care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.

On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.

I did this at my work and got a little dongle that displays a string of numbers I have to enter when prompted.

Blowback, The Dollop, and occasionally Citations Needed but I’ve let that one accrue a huge backlog I may never get through.

“Patriotic Socialist”, which should set off alarm bells for being awfully close to “National Socialist”. They’re doing the exact same thing the nazis did, attempting to use some bits of left-wing rhetoric to appeal to the working class while simultaneously espousing extreme right wing and anti-socialist political beliefs, in this case usually Trump’s. Some of them seem to be suspiciously well-funded for what you’d expect from tiny fringe political organizations.

If they’re not executing nazis in the streets they’re not stopping them from assuming power.

Only cool people are capable of doing it as a bit

Why the fuck did they not sign this?

Boris Johnson (aka NATO) told them to die to the last Ukrainian instead. Literally “the west [wasn’t] ready for the war to end”.

Doesn’t it have something like a two-hour battery life? Feel like that excludes it from being something you carry around with you like a phone.

Some of us never stopped

It was a thing last… summer? Where reddit announced they were going to start charging for every call a third party program made using the API. This was done with the intent of shutting down 3rd party reddit apps and to get users on the official one so reddit could make more money. However, it also destroyed a bunch of 3rd party tools that mods more or less needed, and which reddit had been promising to implement themselves for years with no progress. There was a brief protest where mods of many subs shut them down (mostly for less than a week, though some are still down IIRC). A bunch of users and moderators left reddit and went to other sites.

I use UBO and have definitely noticed videos stuttering in the last week or two.

IIRC there’s some evidence that cold temperatures weaken the immune system. Assuming it’s valid, that does mean that cold could be the deciding factor between contracting a cold or fighting if off.

Now obviously germ theory is correct and it takes external infection to catch a cold, but it’s a pretty safe bet you’re being more or less constantly exposed to COVID and the flu whenever you’re in an indoor public space.

Lol, this kind of means-tested garbage won’t accomplish anything for young people on the fence about having kids. At most it’ll let some older people go back to school for free.
