So it’s Steve Bannon MAGA, shady af, and libertarian. I love how they call their philosophy post-rationalists. It could be taken many different ways.

WTF? What a wild resume ride:

In 2015, Graber began working as a software engineer for SkuChain in Mountain View, California.[1] She then worked in a factory in Moses Lake, where she soldered together bitcoin mining equipment.[1] In 2016, she began working as a junior developer for the Zcash cryptocurrency.[1][3][4] In 2019, she founded the event planning website Happening, Inc.[1][3][4]

In August 2021, Graber became the first CEO of Bluesky, a microblogging social platform and public benefit company.[5][6][7] Bluesky had been conceived as a new initiative by Twitter’s original owners in 2019, but evolved to become Twitter’s main rival following the 2022 acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk.[3][4][8][9]

Edit: I had no idea he left. He thinks X is awesome now, glad he’s gone. https://time.com/6974971/jack-dorsey-leaves-bluesky-board/

Isn’t Dorsey in charge of Blue Sky?

Not a tweet.

That looks like a high school picture that someone put a hand in front of. Photoshop before there was photoshop. That poor person probably doesn’t even know she was in an ad.

The democrats are full of people wanting to do the right thing. They thought that since Harris won as VP, she was an easy out. She obviously wasn’t.

Do you guys realize they they’re trying to turn us against ourselves so that we don’t notice that Trump said to not worry about the election months ago? He wasn’t even trying in the last couple of weeks. They have been placing election officials for 4 years. They legally cheated with a fuck ton of propaganda coming from Russia.

Don’t fall for the trap or I’m going to put you in with the republicans and democrats that sat this one out. You’re being stooges.

To be fair, they legally cheated. I understand your way of thinking though.

I removed it, but I gotta lock this shit too?

LMAO, current catholics (not centuries old catholics) believe murder can’t be forgiven in confession. That’s it, go straight to hell, no purgatory for you. You’re obviously not catholic.

First of all, it’s not your fault. There already is a lot of people on Lemmy trying to blame ourselves for what happened while the R’s are legally cheating every which way you turn. We probably don’t even know the half of it. It’s not our fault, the end. If you voted for Harris, you did well.

Also, stop looking at the big picture and take care of your family and friends while sticking together. Us being in distress is good for them to make democracy end that much easier. Take care of yourself and family, the government will not. I mean it, support each other.

If people are being shitty and wanting us to fight inwards, ignore it, downvote it, and move on. Don’t fall for the trap.

Accept that half of our voting population doesn’t care about anyone but themselves. Those people, just ignore them. Let them whine and cry when they get shit on too. Keep all of that energy for yourself and the people who you need to support and protect.

You’re going to have to consider this a hostile takeover from the far-right, white nationalists, *billionaires, Russia and China. Buckle up.

I agree with you about the independent and working and all that, but that’s for lower offices. It’s totally doable, I live in Seattle and it’s done all the time. I’m talking higher office. Unless the r’s mass quit and all money is taken out, there is a .01% (not scientific) chance that a progressive would make it through the primaries.

Lemmy is the best I’ve found so far even though the Russians and other trolls are here. The trolls are the only ones using shitty tactics and trying to guide the conversations with what they post. Most people here see it because we’re refugees from the bad place. Like the convo we’re having would have been downvoted to hell and back while trying to start a fight anywhere else.

You’re right, I didn’t mean to go after you. I’m just frustrated at how shitty our voting and purposely non-voting country is.

As far as dems go, Biden won with the Harris strategy. That’s what they thought would work against trump. Obviously they were wrong. There’s a bunch of gerrymandering (cheating) going on as well.

Here is the bottom line and what I don’t think people understand though, the people funding these campaigns for higher office don’t want progressives. That’s it, the end. How do you fix that now? People may vote for them if they’re given the opportunity, but they will never get the opportunity. That’s just the reality of it.

That’s very true. I would love it to be arguments between progressive and normal democrats vs democrat vs fascist republican, but that’s not the world we live in. I’m angry at the voters, there is no way they didn’t know what they were voting for this time.

What would you have these people do differently once they’re in? I’m going to go through the issues and it ain’t “the dems.”

• Russia did an amazing social media job and played the r’s like a fiddle. We probably don’t even know the half of it because of the bubble world they live in.
• The r’s have placed SCOTUS judges that are openly corrupt and actively harmful to our country.
• The r’s have placed judges to fuck with many states with gerrymandering and it worked.
• Half of the voting public of America is sexist and racist.

I’ve seen an active population going after the dems today and it makes me laugh my ass off. It’s pretty good propaganda. The r’s voted for a monster and you’re blaming the people who thought there were enough decent people on that side to keep him away. Nope, we were wrong.

What action do you think we should do? Real talk. The government has been taken over a long time ago by anti-democracy peeps, how do we get it back?

Progressives have never done the same for the DNC, they’ve just let it continue being the same old shitty party for two decades. Every time they drift further rightward, people complain, and then forget.

I disagree on that part. Everyone is just fucking tired trying to save the country from our fellow dummies. We are just trying to survive and have no idea of what to do.

Why do the republicans love the RNC no matter what and the democrats hate the DNC no matter what?

Maybe this time the wolf is real,

Project 2025 is a thing. They know better this time. We’re probably fucked.

Oh wise one, what would you have done different? Explain the ways to me so we can understand.
