At bare minimum they should also demand that Trump stops talking about or making plans on annexing Greenland.

Shit like this is why Lemmy isn’t a complete replacement for Reddit: nowhere to get away from pretentious blowhards.

Well it’d be disrespectful to a friend of my mom’s to say they don’t…but also, it’s probably dirtier than the NYC one tbh. My point is that it’s not the root cause.

NYC is the only one in the US I’m aware of that goes 24/7. I know the Philly one doesn’t.

It’s usually a Bible but you’re allowed to swear on anything.

Literal black and white thinking

States’ rights can be great when you agree with the policies, but I’m personally harrowed by stories of state government showing obvious contempt for their big cities.

I can’t understand why people expect Lemmy to be less Reddit than Reddit. It’s literally a platform for people who are so deep in Reddit that they’ve developed a hatred for Reddit becoming more normie friendly.

As someone who has some interests aligned with average Lemmy users but not enough to use it as my primary platform, Lemmy is inhabited by the stereotypical Redditor of ten years ago.

If given an independence option (well really it would only be viable if other Northeastern states left,) I’d vote for that, but if it’s just stay or join Canada I’d vote for joining Canada.

Walz and AOC are the candidates worth talking about right now, because they’re the ones showing leadership.

Go away, Kamala. And Biden, along with plenty of others.

This is Europeans in general though

I like that Schumer is scared, I just wish Vance was.

The problem with the Biden economy was that the conventional economic measures were good, but groceries still went up. Effectively, this already didn’t work for Biden, even though Biden technically wasn’t lying.

Spread this in Christian communities.

I would never recommend Twitter to normal people, but she’s a politician, she has to go where the people are.

I would argue she should be encouraging people to use Mastodon, but the fact is most people currently on Fediverse either already agree with her positions or think she’s “lib controlled opposition.”

And conservatives and tankies will still deny he’s a Russian asset.

midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.

My two cents is that most former presidents should be silent. Especially Biden.

The one who shouldn’t is Obama, the only former president who is actually viewed favorably in America.

I think cold balkanization is both the most likely and most optimistic scenario.

I’m curious why you think it’s most likely. Most optimistic, I agree.

I’m of the opinion that retrospective Obama love represents missing normalcy more than actual Obama, even if not everybody realizes that.
