  • I don’t. I also don’t believe we’re ever going to get another (fair) election, thanks to your inaction. The rule of law is finished, because:

    • A convicted felon, in the middle of four separate criminal indictments
    • Known to have raped his wife
    • Raped a 14-year-old, probably raped a bunch of others with Epstein
    • Bragged about sexually assaulting many other women
    • Incited the Jan 6th riot to storm the White House and threaten to kill the vice president, as well as many other Congresspeople
    • Stole boxes and boxes of top secret CIA documents
    • Send many of those top secrets to foreign agents, including Putin, which got CIA agents killed
    • Praises dictators and the way they rule out in the open
    • Put three Supreme Court justices who are currently dismantling whatever judicial ideals the government has

    That guy, he got voted president. If he can get re-elected after doing all of that shit, instead of being put in prison, then the rule of law is finished. We don’t really have a functional government that punishes criminals. We’re on the level of Brazil in terms of government corruption now, and quickly sliding into Turkey or Nazi Germany by the next decade.

    Be sure to thank your fellow trans Beehaw Lemmy users [he/him] for deciding that your protest non-vote is more important than their lives, while they have their medical rights stripped, and their faces curb-stomped by an already-hostile public.




  • False equivalency will be the death of our country. The media has been pushing this line for decades, even when it has become clear that the GOP has been getting more and more extreme during that time.

    Even Jon Stewart immediately started pushing this garbage that none of this really matters, and we can just live our lives like it was just any other election. Meanwhile, all of his colleagues in late night media has been fighting hard to combat the disinformation in their own way, and this is how he rewards them.

    Hey, Jon… in the words of Jon Stewart: “Go fuck yourself!”







  • Macnas is a performing arts group that had staged Halloween parades in Dublin since 2013. The COVID-19 pandemic stopped those parades until last year, but the group had not scheduled one in 2024.

    That seems like a pretty f-ing important detail. The rest of the article and headline makes it look like a bunch of people showed up because of some random parade announcement, instead of people who were expecting an annual event and got some details from the wrong source.
