  • If you listen to Obama on that podcast recently (whom those people probably voted for too), paraphrasing: he says economic anxiety makes people prone to risk taking, emotional voting and feel racial resentment.

  • It didn't seem to do much tbh, idk if posts or anything showed.

    I think a lemmy follow feature (with an option to turn it off) could be useful for a bunch of use cases. Not just 'content creators' a vocal group of people are wary of.

  • Same, but I'd add that it happened during the past two years the most more than all the years previously added together.

  • I don't mind it in general, but partisan politics reeks of the bot-infested/bad-faith experience we used to get at the old place.

  • That's not a community mate? I mean they are, but it's an instance. btw you should check out hexbear to really lose your nerve.

  • Thankfully I never see that crap, but will block on sight.

  • I'm going to gently remind you that Drumpf's base is actually on avg. wealthier than the opposition's base. That's why you get those obnoxious trucks, flags and infinite merchandise (courtesy of Chinese workers).

    No need to smear the common people, it's simply a fact that democracy is not a real tool for change.

  • How about we decide to do the sensible thing and take advantage of modern medicine??

  • The funny thing is, it's the BBC reporting. That institution beholden to a party that is committed to making the issue a volatile political football.

  • They're probably running numbers for potential prisoners, profits and bribes as we speak.

  • So why's the other guy's comments been removed lol? Was he a bot?

  • Possibly some kind of democratic voting system would work? Or maybe the mods must all vote to do the move. Just an idea from when I saw another instance do a vote (for federation) using emojis, on a post, and they just counted them basically.

    (edit: The mastadon method seems feasible though posts need to move too.)

  • Mate, I don't know or care about the other guy's insults, but don't you think unspecifically attributing the word to the US's terribly managed economy is getting cringe and worse muddying the water. I've seen a super posh actress who's famous for being posh (nobility on both sides of the family) complain (in character) about it on a trailer for a major movie coming out soon.

    Not to say criticism is cringe, but while I might be wrong, something seems to be missing.
