We didn't really build any of it. It was all designed by a bunch of old white slave owners over 200 years ago. What we can do now is keep things from getting worse and try to make steady progress along the way. Voting isn't everything, but it's still important.

Your comment provides no productive insight or refutation of anything I mentioned. You look like a fool by creating a straw man of my position.

Democrats aren't losing, they've over performed in just about every election since 2020. The party has grown more left wing in recent years but obviously work still needs to be done. Virtually every progressive in government will endorse Biden for reelection. There was no significant primary challenge against him.

If you don't vote you aren't participating in an election where you can influence the outcome. In reality the statement you make by sitting out is that you don't care what happens.

There are valid criticisms you could make of Biden especially over how he has handled the Gaza war. But pretending that you're enlightened by not voting and effectively helping Trump is not an effective strategy in the long term.

Because he did not have the best campaign staff and the Democratic party establishment preferred other candidates. His base was mostly young white people or college students who don't turn out to vote enough.

I've given up on it. While I think it was silly to remove, I've come to find it just as silly to be so attached to a cable. Bluetooth and USBC headphones have worked just fine for me.

YouTube and Instagram already have identical features. Most US creators who post on Tik Tok also use those platforms already

No one switched places. The US was really racist, misogynist, and homophobic in 1945. In recent years Germany has become more liberal and accepting than the US.

I am more feminine, but sometimes enjoy having a cool edge or being tomboyish.

I'm bisexual, but more attracted to men and masc/butch women. Romantic attraction is the same.

Very buggy on my Pixel 7 Pro. Sticking with the older version for now

I can't be trans, I just spend 8 hours a day thinking about whether I'm trans or not for the past 5 years

I've decided that I want to delete my reddit account. I want to remove all of my posts and comments first. What is the best way to do this? I've had the account for several years so it would be too tedious to delete everything individually. So far I've tried the Redact android app, which did not work when I signed in. I also tried the browser extension Bulk Delete Reddit, but it can only delete up to 50 posts or comments per day. Is there any other option?
