And what is to stop actual Nazis from claiming they ‘were unaware’? I am very willing to vote Democrat, but it just seems dodgy to me. People like Angus King, Joe Manchin, John Fetterman, Mark Kelly, Gary Peters, Barack Obama in his first term, and the likes (this is ignoring candidates of other parties I would vote for if they ran, which is many)… but this just rubs me the wrong way. That being said, I do not have the option to vote for him anyways, so it does not matter for me. Last time… I literally voted 40/10/40/10 on my local and federal ballot combined (Democrat, Green, GOP, and Libertarian). It is because I look into what the specific candidate that is running for office has done, has said, their plans, and if they have proven they have changed. When choosing your leaders, looking out for deception matters quite a lot. Reasonably, why should I vote for someone who has ANY Nazi tattoo on him, REGARDLESS of his excuses? It is why I went from liking Elon Musk pre-2025 to not fully trusting him post-2025 outside of technology when he did the Nazi salute ranting about how his ‘heart goes out to you’ and ‘civilisation’, even though I think his inventions are great. I cannot reasonably support people who do stuff like that. So again, I ask you, what is proving he is being honest when he claims he ‘was unaware’ it was a Nazi tattoo? Why should I bet on his honesty about not being a neo-Nazi when I could potentially support a different Democrat candidate with less baggage?

Yeah… the guy has a Nazi tattoo. I will not support someone like that. I do not care if he says he ‘has changed’. Politicians lie all of the time. What is up with the party recently? First Graham Platner and then Maureen Galindo? Both OPENLY either has Nazi symbolatry or says to throw people in camps en masse to castrate them. EVEN PEOPLE LIKE AOC, Hakeem Jeffries, Suzan DelBene, Josh Gottheimer, Jared Moskowitz, and John Fetterman ALL CONDEMNED her and Brad Schneider, Jake Auchincloss, Cory Booker, and Janet Mills condemned him! Stop. Embracing. Nazi. Candidates. You KNOW it is bad when some of the most prominent Democratic Party leaders are condemning them and saying their rhetorics are unacceptable. If you get mad at the right for remarks that are less blatant than this over stuff like this where it is somewhat expected, you should be OUTRAGED that people this blatant are getting support in the party that is supposed to be better than this. It should not be a partisan issue to say DO NOT SYMPATHISE WITH NAZIS. What happened to ‘once a Nazi, always a Nazi’?

Edited for grammar.

Tbh, Linux on a phone sucks. I am fine with Android. Custom ROMs are good enough for me. I value being able to use most Android games and software. Maybe in the FAR FUTURE I would if Linux on phones improved, but not any time soon.

Yep. And I would be Fluttershy.

Ugh…

Oh come on now… you cannot say that! Or the fact that people claimed the Bush, Obama, Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump elections were rigged since the 2000s! Just because the candidate we did not want to win won does not mean we should not accept it when the opposition wins.

Seriously though, gerrymandering is a real issue across the states and incumbent parties often gerrymanders to keep the opposition of power. In a way, this is election rigging, but until we amend the constitution, this cannot be fixed. Luckily… if enough of us flips in one election cycle, they cannot gerrymander fast enough to stop actual fair elections. This is the reason I am an Independent voter.

Even though I could not vote, I supported GOP President Bush in the first half of the 2000s and only stopped supporting him due to the Patriot Act, Democrat President Obama in the second half of the 2000s and the first half of the 2010s and only stopped supporting him due to him lifting the sanctions on tyrannical regimes (although, the ACA is a good thing), the GOP President Trump in the second half of the 2010s mostly because I did not like the fact Hillary said she would continue Obama’s foreign policy, and the Democrat President Biden in the first half of the 2020s and stopped supporting him due to the botched withdrawl at Afghanistan that gave terrorists American weapons and got our soldiers and military dogs killed. Then in 2024 when I could finally vote, I supported Constitution Party Candidate Terry because Trump was mid, I did not like that the Democrat Party pulled a fast one and forced Biden out when he won the primaries for Kamala without a new primary, I did not like the Libertarian Party Candidate Oliver due to his stances, and I did not like the ‘Vaccines causes Autism!’ Independent Party Candidate RFK Jr. as that is stupid. I have ZERO party loyalty. I am not a partisan voter. If people are hostile to me, it only pushes me away from their candidate and party. Same with if they do stupid stuff.

I am sick of hearing about rigged elections tbh. I heard it in the 2000s, in the 2010s, and the 2020s. It is always something! If the elections were rigged at scale, the opposing parties would not keep cycling and winning. Of course, gerrymandering is an issue and can throw off elections, but a state can only gerrymander so much if the population just abruptly flips. Also, WHAT HAPPENED TO RESPECTABLE CANDIDATES LIKE JFK AND THEODORE ROOSEVELT?! WHY do we keep voting for people like this?! Bruh. Something in the system needs to change.

This is why I use Waterfox paired with DuckDuckGo tbh. Brave is a scummy company.

I used to moderate REGULAR SFW spaces on both Reddit and Discord and let me tell you, the stuff people post is insane. They post straight out terrorist and cartel executions like it is nothing… and that is ignoring the ones who post rapes, tortures, murders, etc. I can only imagine how bad NSFW spaces are. If you do not have an iron-stomach, I would never recommend moderating spaces with millions of people on it.

I am not YET permanently banned on Reddit, even though I have been temporarily banned a few times. I am moving away to PieFed though… but I find it difficult to get engagement without the ability to have crossposts link back to the main post. I am just sick of Reddit and their behaviour. They arbitrarily ban people and then refuse to ban literal terrorists and people who keeps going on mass-shootings were radicalised on Reddit, which got them investigated by the Department of Justice BOTH back during the Biden-era and the current Trump-era. I may often not agree with the Threadiverse politically and get into my fair share of debates (I have an older account that I cannot find on Lemmy that I made in 2023- but whatever since I like PieFed more), but Reddit is just THAT BAD where they somehow make both the left and right investigate them. Bruh. They are just dogwater, which is an insult to dogwater. 😭

Then what should we have mate?

Uhuh… how did that go with Lebanon? Or Syria? Or Judea-Samaria? Or the UAE when they assassinated leaders? Or Iran? If I recall correctly, Trump told them to ‘Fucking not.’ and said he will decide and Netanyahu ignored him and went ahead to do it anyways. What is he going to do? Invade a nuclearly-armed chemical weapons-armed country with second-strike capabilities and an Intelligence Agency proven they are willing strike in the West? It is frankly pathetic Trump thinks he can do anything to stop them. Especially when Russia would flip on a dime to take over for the State of Israel in the United Nations if the United States of America truly went against them because Russia only cares about power, not neccessarily who is their ally. Trump speaks a big game and then cannot back it up. Is he strong? That depends if you think bombing countries into oblivion and back is strong. Is he actually able to project power? HAH! Russia, China, India, Israel, and the European Union walks all over him and laughs at him not only behind closed doors, but to his face! He could not even stop the war in Ukraine, could not stop the war in Gaza, could not stop China projecting power further into Europe and posturing against Taipei, and could not tariff India into submission as he realised they are too large and powerful to be blackmailed into submission. All he can do is mess with United Kingdom because Starmer is a weak coward who cannot stand up to Trump and is bullied into submission. Trump cannot even keep his ‘most important promises’, much less call the shots for a nation that produces their own weapons, phased out reliance on the Iron Dome to the Iron Beam, has an Intelligence Agency that rivals the C.I.A., and recently turned down ALL future aid from the United States of America as they did in the 1980s and before since they realise relations between the West and the State of Israel are faltering. Anyone who knows the situation on the ground can see that as they hedge their bets to the Russo-Sino-Indo sphere and other parts of the Far East. But yeah! Trump can TOTALLY control Israel, right guys?! 😉 Laughable. Gosh… his posturing just makes him sound like a pissbaby. 🤣

I just eat whenever I feel hungry on no particular schedule. It is 6:43 PM where I am at and I only ate two hard-boiled eggs ten minutes ago all day. Lololol.

If you believe Yeshua is the ‘Son of God’ and died for our sins, you are a Christian. It is that simple. Nobody else other than Christians believe it. Mormons believe it. They are Christian.

Haha. Funny percentage!

Breaking news: The corrupt government that has been corrupt since forever is being corrupt!

Ugh… these people cannot keep getting away with this!

I am not going to ever buy Sony/Yoti devices now.

We need a right to repair…

Mmm. Lol.

The GOP has not been conservative for a long time.
