No, I gave you a link that you didn’t read (you didn’t have time to have read it). I’m sorry you can’t support your fantasy, goodbye.

If you’d like to make an assertion and support it with facts, I’ll respond, but you’re wasting our time with simple contradiction.

I’m sorry, this is not a serious position.

No, I’m sorry this is “abuse”.

Your speculation doesn’t match the observed history, though. Even if you don’t agree that Democrats have made progress in recent years for labor and gay rights, at least they haven’t actively rolled them back like Republicans. Police were out of control, but people weren’t disappearing at scale into black sites and being shuffled around to prevent any legal recourse.

If people critical of this could organize something more useful than lemmy downvotes, that would be a start. I’m just genuinely confused by anyone that feels like not voting accomplishes anything. By definition, it is inaction. And mathematically, voting third party is the same as not voting. Why not at least defend gay and trans people? You can still do whatever non-voting-related actions you were planning to do to improve things. I guess you’re making your trolley problem choice. Honestly, the moral purity that has no impact just reads as vanity to me.

That’s you reading into it, I think. I’m just tired.

Labels feel like a substitute for argument and thought.

That’s not really an argument.

And what about gay, queer, or trans people? Have they not died enough? Because there absolutely is a difference between the parties for them.

This is also how I think about AI training data. You have generational loss if you train AI on data that came from AI, so pre-AI data will be inherently more valuable, even as it becomes outdated.

What does that mean, exactly?

Voting is a practical, political act, not a moral one. Anyone that tells you different is tricking you.

Ah, good catch.

Never mind AI, MRIs are more important.

At least we have the US Helium Res— dammit, Biden!

The U.S. just sold its helium stockpile. Here’s why the medical world is worried

Helium is needed for MRIs.

I don’t know, calling for a general strike on May 1 seems pretty big.

Curses! You’ve cracked the code! This is the very first generation to believe in morality, and that fixed everything!

By increasing suffering, you’re actually better than everyone else, see! It’ll get way worse, eventually failing, and in that power vacuum, only good people will seize control!

This is how private equity MBAs have ruined everything.
