I get their concerns but we shouldn’t be bullied into silence. The Israeli government is a piece of shit and we should all be allowed to say that until they’ve proven otherwise.

You’re speaking my language.

I used to think this about Linux but it’s just not the case for the vast majority of software now. The switch is a lot less painful than you’re making it out to be. As far as the modern world goes, it demands this bs because we let it and things still got done without the smartphone.

Or you could set this up on your phone. It sounds sort of nonsensical to say you need to focus and not be distracted by your phone while also finding a way to keep yourself distracted by your phone. Maybe try being without any of it and learn to exist apart from it instead of finding increasingly smaller devices to keep you connected at all times.

It’s a disposable watch. If shipment could just stop that would be great.

More than hold ping pong paddles with the word false written on them. With the exception of a select few, they’re all basically wet blankets. Let’s see some civil disobedience, let’s see someone getting arrested for standing up for what’s right? Best they can do is ping pong paddles?

If people would just drop their service en masse they would stop doing this shit. Everyone acts like they can be without a streaming service for a month or two so they’ll just complain as they continue to hand them money.

I get all of that. I’m saying a president (in this case Kamala) isn’t going to fix this. No flavor of voting will fix our problems imo.

Roughly 50.1% but that’s still assuming none of these people would’ve switched to trump and this is how US elections work. Based on how things work Donald won the popular vote with less than 50%. I’m not saying it’s the best way but it’s also not like we suddenly switched up the rules. I assure you that I’m just as mad as you are about the system we have but when I look around no one honestly wants to do anything but complain about the way things are instead of being the change they expect to see. A president isn’t going to fix our problems. If people cared more about taking back the power and less about consuming we might see some real change. The only thing that matters in this country is money and despite all the complaints we just can’t seem to stop giving the ass holes running the show more of our money in one form or another.

I’m aware but even assuming all of the non trump votes would go to Kamala, she still wouldn’t have won in this case.

In a race with more than 2 people it shouldn’t be uncommon to have less than 50% of the overall vote and still win. I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. In this race he got the most votes compared to the other candidates.

If you want to be technical a true democracy is mathematically impossible. Also Donald won the popular vote this time. Don’t waste 4 years of your life chasing conspiracy theories like the right has and clinging to a fantasy that the loser actually won. I wish things were different but that’s how it went.

Bro I’m native, I know! I think it’s a piece of shit also but it could be worse. I’m also trying to rage against the machine.

Just asking questions instead of excusing it all under the guise of propaganda. I have no doubt some of it is, but all of it?

Uhhh yeah. The Constitution establishes a federal democratic republic form of government. That is, we have an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. It is a democracy because people govern themselves. It is representative because people choose elected officials by free and secret ballot.

I feel exactly the same way. It’s like they can’t imagine a world without it. When it’s banned they’ll have to fill their time just staring at the wall.

Not sure.

I tried to challenge some ideas in World News and I guess asking questions about Chinese censorship is xenophobic. Now I’m banned for not being pro Chinese censorship.

I’ve only recently started using proton but knowing that, I’m out. Thanks for the heads up.

I’m out of the loop. What happened to proton?
