ALL third-party candidates combined for less than 2% of total votes

So finally you admit it's not third party voters to blame for Trump?

Dingdingding, right answer here!

It depends. AI can help writing good code. Or it can write bad code

I'll give you a hypothetical: a company is to hire someone for coding. They can either hire someone who writes clean code for $20/h, or someone who writes dirty but functioning code using AI for $10/h. What will many companies do?

Sadly I'm afraid Hexbear doesn't get the Xi-bux it rightly deserves, it's even blocked by the great Chinese firewall (thought the reasons aren't clear). I wish the left was as well funded as people claim :(

Nah, hexbear admins and users were pretty clear and unanimous from minute 1 that they'd rather have that money spent in mutual aid (go visit c/mutual_aid in Hexbear if you're interested) than in giving money to a cyberlandlord.

Fish that bites its own tail. North Korea is weird as it is because of the isolation imposed on it after the country was quite literally levelled by US bombings. That's the historical and materialist events that gave rise to "juche" ideology in the way North Korea understands it now. I think you'd be pretty scared of outsiders if your country had been as close to literally entirely destroyed as it gets by foreign bombing, and if when you tried to rebuild your economy you had been subjected to an almost complete economic blockade.

This doesn't seem to mirror my experiences, is the DNC actually pushing a position of not worrying about the situation?

Biden had immunity to do literally anything to prevent the rise of fascism. What he did: nothing.

Lol, if you want to try and move the goalposts from my "murdered Poles"

No, my claim is that you're equating deported with murdered when you quote said book talking about "hundreds of thousands of murders", not that murdered after deportation don't count.

Yet again you fail to provide an alternative to the military occupation of Eastern Poland by the Soviet Union. The only possible alternative was Nazi occupation. I'm not trying to justify Katyn, I'm saying that the invasion itself was justified and that's proven by the fact that you cannot even theoretically come up with a better alternative with 80 years of hindsight.

Imagine how we would look at the US if they had decided it was more profitable to just team up with the nazis instead

I don't have to imagine, the US not only teamed up with but propped up fascism all over the globe. I'm Spanish myself, the Franco dictatorship was legitimised by the USA for its entire existence, but I could bring up Suharto in Indonesia, Pinochet in Chile, or an endless list of fascists supported by the USA. Invading eastern Poland and preventing it from being invaded by Nazis isn't "teaming up with the Nazis", I'm sorry that you can't see beyond cold-war propaganda.

Yeah no, I'm not a military enjoyer in general, so idk what destroyer means or what's the origin, I meant it more as a wordplay. But thanks for the clarification!

The fact that she deserves it doesn't imply things will get better after her getting fired, it just implies she's a terrorist working for terrorists. Like, the name of the ship category you're commanding is "Destroyer"

I fucking wish US politics didn't affect the rest of the world and they didn't take up 99% of the discourse online, but sadly that's the state of affairs, go to a general purpose instance like lemm.ee or like reddthat.com, browse by all federated instances, and tell me how many of the posts are about US politics.

Ending conversations with people because they're not from your country, when your country projects its power and its politics outwards overwhelmingly, isn't productive

The fact that you even had to ask illustrates my point

There is more than one ongoing genocide, it's just that the one in Palestine is the one the US is most obviously funding and supporting, which makes it relevant to USian politics.

Finding out about genocide, and using as leverage in an election where the collapse of democracy is on the table are not even remotely similar.

Finding out about genocide and being able to tell your representatives that you won't vote them if they go on genociding people because that doesn't represent you, seems pretty coherent and moral to me.

suddenly you all cared so much that it was worth sacrificing your own country

I'm not USian btw, I'm not sacrificing my own country. Arguably the ones sacrificing the country are the ones putting only unelectable candidates who run a campaign of genocide against literal fascists. If the Trump administration was so patently fascist and the Democrats, with full presidential power (and immunity as proven by Trump), did nothing to stop them, the fault is every bit as much in the Democrat camp as in the Republican.

Refuse to act against fascists while in government -> run a campaign on genocide and the "most lethal armed forces in the world" with a non-electable candidate changed 3 months before the election -> lose elections to fascists -> blame the voters
