I’m just over here in “hellscape” California enjoying the freedom to not have to do this, and I can walk down the street to the weed shop, and my girlfriend still has basic human rights over her own body.
Do any other states, like Texas, need some of our freedom? We’ve got some to spare.
Not by voting.
Lol.
Can you provide examples of countries with viable left leaning parties that didn’t get there by voting?
You think working class organization is successful without voting in candidates that champion their cause?
Then explain why the entire planet is capitalist and yet other countries have FAR more left leaning parties.
The Democrat party can be moved left if liberal voters make it happen.
EDIT: Yo downvoters, start a violent revolution or keep your fucking downvotes to yourself. Or, better yet, submit an idea, if you can, for what you think can be done. Because in reality, your options are start a violent revolution or reform the Democrat party. There are no viable 3rd parties in America and none are even trying to be viable. Use your fucking brains instead of your fingers to downvote. You are part of the problem.
EDIT 2: Honestly, my bad guys. I didn’t notice I was in .ml. The lack of common sense makes a lot more sense now.
Can you imagine how much conservative whining and crying we’re going to witness when this traitor fuck dies and the vast majority of the world throws a fucking party?
I’ll only be upset about how much tax payer money is going to be spent giving this felon rapist pedophile a state-funded funeral.
Sure, Jan.
Then primary the bad actors and reform the Democrat party.
This is your option. There is no other option than violent revolution and I can assure you from spending my entire life in this country that modern Americans don’t have it in them.
If conservatives can morph the Republican party into the traitorous entity it is now, then liberals can reform the Democrat party to move more to the left.
History proves party reformation is possible, and inevitable.
I’m an older millennial on the cusp of being GenX.
You guys definitely aren’t the same as Boomers. Some similarities, but not enough to be grouped in with them.
But THEY did. And they are all that matters.
Mmmm.
.ml censorship. The Reddit of Lemmy.

I mean that’s literally why you have to ask for those things from behind the counter now. That literally proves my point.
Lol. Have fun searching the cosmos for a world where conscious beings only take what they need.
He won’t “fall” until his supporters stop supporting him.
To be clear, his supporters voted for him in 2024 even though he was already a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and insurrectionist.
They will not care if they find out he fucked children.
Am I pissed?
Yes.
Are people going to get their SNAP so they can eat and will federal employees start getting paid again and will we avoid a catastrophic holiday travel season and can we shut the government down again in a few months if Republicans don’t honor their word, which they won’t?
Yes.
This only keeps the government open a while longer. If they fuck around again, they can find out again.
I’d like to think this is a strategy on the Dem’s part to show the country that the Republican party is willing to repeatedly shut down the government and hurt Americans instead of coming to the table and negotiating and that the Dems want to make sure people don’t starve. I doubt that’s it and it’s most likely just cowards within the party caving to corporate interests.
Primary them.
Conservatives here don’t know who Mao is because many can’t read, and the ones who can certainly don’t read history books.
Lol.
Older millennial here. Born way before 97.
Great Recession when I was recently out of college and trying to get into more serious employment.
Didn’t have a career or any type of financial security until I was 35. Was generally the same for most of my peers.
Welcome to hell.
Hey bitch, you can’t dig for gold up there.
Totally.
I’ve been using Windows a long time. I’m actually in IT. Microsoft is definitely going the wrong direction with it. It doesn’t bother me too much because I know how to change what I need to change to make it work the way I want.
It does get old though seeing so many Linux posts all the time. Like, I get it. But over-exposure and fanboying could end up driving people away. I just scroll past. It’s not a big deal. Just felt like pointing it out.
I’ve never seen a harder hard-on than the hard-on Lemmy has for Linux.
More power to you guys, I’m just saying, Linux circlejerking represents like a third of the posts I see when browsing All.
Just to be clear, because I had to look into it a bit, California’s law won’t require photos/IDs.
“Operating system providers need not collect additional information like photos of government IDs to verify the user’s age. Based on this age information, operating system providers must send digital signals via real-time API (age signals) to developers upon request, transmitting the user’s age range bracket – under 13, at least 13 and under 16, at least 16 and under 18, or at least 18. When a user downloads and launches a developer’s application, the developer must request an age signal from the relevant operating system provider or the application store from which the user downloaded the application.”
So I’m assuming those companies backed it because they want more analytics about the age ranges of the people who use their products.
