Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

To bad the people that actually run the world couldn't give a shit.

They do give a shit. They like the way things are.

I posted this in another thread on Lemmy;

If Trump were to promise groceries and essentials stimulus checks for people, people would vote for him purely for that. If Biden were to promise the same, he still wouldn't win and his numbers wouldn't change in the slightest because of all his other broken promises.

People are suffering and it will only get worse as the next front against China opens up soon. No amount of voting will change anything.

Nothing will fundamentally change so get voting!

Under my administration nothing will fundamentally change

They'd strangle it and say it could never happen

70 of VOTERS? wow wonder how it is overall

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 6 months ago

But we can't give the majority what they want! That would be undemocratic!

[–] pmarcilus@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 months ago

So this means we need more votes!
