Yeah, but at least we saved Gazza.

And I include his enablers who banged on about Gazza. If your actions get a facist elected, you are a facist.

Even a country formed by survivors of the last round is engaging in genocide.

The electorate swung solidly right, giving Trump the popular vote. Much as I’d like a more left-wing administration in the US, the evidence does not support the theory that a left leaning campaign would have helped. The US apparently wants an authoritarian government, and it got it.

This is not just the US either - globally we are shifting rapidly to authoritarian regimes. In my own UK where the center left (at best) Labour won the election, but only because the right wing parties were split by FPTP. The Tories elected a far right leader last week and got derided for it, but for them, it’s absolutely the right move, and the next election will likely deliver a far right Tory or Tory/Reform coalition. For reference, Labour got less votes than the previous election that they lost in a land slide.

Same where I currently live, Germany, and my fiancé’s France.

Dark times are ahead. Prepare for the worst.

My crazy theory: if he wins and then gets sent to jail, the republicans won’t rescue him. Why? Well, he was useful to win the election, but he’s got no idea how to run a country, far less of an idea how to implement Project 2025. Vance, on the other hand, seems competent enough to actually deliver…

Do not sit ANY election out, even the local ones. The far right have been building a network of corrupt judges and politicians at the local level with the goal to implement project 2025. No matter what happens this election, they are still absolutely set on that goal and will not stop.

I wonder what the apologists from .ml have to say…

I went from Boost for Reddit straight to Boost for Lemmy. It does everything I need and the dev is quite active with new features etc.

That’s all well and good, but many of these Windows machines were headless or used by extremely non-technical people - think tills at your supermarket or airport check-in desks. Worse, some of these installations were running in the cloud, so console access would have been tricky.

Biden isn’t a boomer, he’s the generation before, silent IIRC. There’s a good chance you will have to choose between two boomers next election.

That’s is NOT the year to fuck around. If Trump wins, the chance that he will declare himself president for life is WAY too high and apparently perfectly legal now.

I’m not American, but my 0.02€… this might be a good outcome if it’s easier to defeat her at the general compared to a more moderate republican.
