Politics aside, how the hell is this same picture in my Top Six Hour feed seven times in five groups I don't subscribe to? Impressive spam-job.

It's indeed a bit crazy but it highlights a need we have in legislation to properly spell out enforcement. Gone are the days when it was enough to have a gentleman's agreement to report and act on certain transgressions. Now, sadly, the default action is to ignore and deny until the issue goes away and it works far too often.
None of us like it but most of us, eventually, learn what a trap third party voting is the way the system is set up. When you're young, naive and a bit idyllic it seems like an easy choice. "I'm standing up for change!" you think to yourself. Or perhaps the old "We gotta start somewhere, let's get that 5%!" nugget.
Then you get older and the shit you used watch from the sidelines on TV actually starts to affect your lives. Health care, education, retirement and other life issues show up and that naivety falls away rapidly as you learn that A) it'll take a revolution of sorts for any meaningful change and B) our lives are too short to hope for said revolution. Do we still want that change, absolutely. However, sometimes in life, you really do need to choose between the douche and the turd sandwich.
Today on Lemmy, which is dumber?
-Distilling an entire presidency to what happens in proxy wars (the RU one admittedly being an amazing deal for the US against a long term adversary).
-Voting third party in '20/'24
It seems the newer ones do allow more varieties of litter these days but that's a good reminder not all do.
Does yours look anything close to that advertisement though? Seems those might be simulated but it's tempting if they are even half as good.
I did not. The wording is based on how this matches his past statements. In this case, he's being consistent and I can't hate on that.
I can, however, hate the monetary support we're sending there and dozens of other things.
Literally just showed a Trekkie friend of mine A Christmas Story last weekend. I know what I'm sending her next...
And? They weren't downvoting the president, they were pushing down legitimate information that was specifically asked for by a non-American. Historical even.
Not everything is a dog whistle and this isn't even sly or hidden, he outright admits it and always has. Sheesh.
He's been saying it for decades (literally), it's only now that it garners so much attention. Look, I can find 100 reasons to dislike the guy but being consistent isn't one of them.

Great news, really hope the 5 is next.
