Social network Bluesky, an alternative to X built on open source technologies, has scored a big win in terms of attracting notable users to its platform.
Jesus fucking Christ. I saw what was coming and even though she was far from my choice, I did what I thought mattered more than how I personally felt. Get over yourself, dude. I can look at things and have an opinion and still choose to go with what matters when literal Nazis are on the other side of the equation. Like I said, it’s literally not my fault that more than half the country was too fucking dumb to clock that because they’d been fed the same bullshit for decades.
Did you forget we’re talking about a fucking twitter replacement, not the fucking election?
For the hundredth time. If people are staying home the fault is with the candidate. That’s how voting works. You have to earn votes. Either accept that or get used to losing.
Not that you liberals are all that upset with the results.
Based mod response. I get so sick of purity politics and using that as an excuse to justify letting fascism take control, but people gotta justify their choices somehow…
Not sure if you misinterpreted me here friend, but I was agreeing with you.
This has nothing to do with being a mod and everything to do with rational thinking.
Yeah, but seeing them together is what I’m happy about.
Accepting the responsibility of facing reality has nothing to do with letting fascism take control.
I’d disagree, just because the people who refused to see the reality of the situation allowed naked fascism their time behind the wheel again. Plenty of people refuse to see reality how it is and choose to ignore it, sure that ‘things will just work out’ because that’s how it is in media.
In fact, if you were paying attention, I voted. Along with all the others that knew what would happen if we didn’t. So in that- WE tried to stop this- did you?
You’re preaching to the choir, she definitely wasn’t my first choice, but she was the only sane choice available all things considered.
My gripe is not with you, but with people who complain about the politician not being ‘exciting’ enough and using that as an excuse for why they’ve opened the door to removing the rights of myself and my loved ones. The people who feel that perfect isn’t the enemy of good, and that compromise and letting the democrats back in power was absolutely unthinkable (or, as some people told me, they deserved to lose to ‘learn a lesson’).
You’re simply wrong. And to tell you you’re wrong I have literally all of human history to show you. In particular the last election. It doesn’t matter what special circumstances you think exists. You have to appeal to the voter. That’s essential that’s the first step and no other step matters if you don’t take that step. You will lose every time if you forget that step.
You people keep banging your heads against this I don’t know how you don’t get it.
But that’s my argument. Live in the real world. Listen to what I’m telling you. You have to appeal to the voter. That’s all that matters. Thinking voters are going to go with you no matter what just because you say the other guy’s bad is never going to work. You must go earn their votes. You must speak to them on their issues. This is fundamental. I’m angry because you liberals still don’t fucking get that. So what I hear when I see you speak like this is damn Trump and Trump’s brand is sticking around for a generation because y’all won’t change.
So take your own advice. Break with Chuck Schumer and all the liberal Elites who are selling you a pipe dream and instead go out to the people where real votes are. Listen to them and their needs.

And you decided to write five paragraphs about Obama and twitter.

Am I, or is that how you’re choosing to read it?

You try to appeal to Reason by telling me that the thing that just failed will work. Just want you to think about that for a second.

Literally never said that. Way to miss the point.
