This isn't trying to discourage people from voting, it's trying to send a warning: "If you keep putting in terrible candidates and running on terrible policies, you are going to keep getting shitty turnouts"

No, it's the Republicans who are to blame. The Democratic leadership is to blame for not putting up a candidate or policies that the voters wanted.

It's always amazing to me that people will blame the people who couldn't stomach to vote for the Democrats, rather than getting mad at the Democratic leadership for being so awful that people can't stomach to vote for them.

I'm not sure that's true. While yes, America does have a sexist problem, Hillary won the popular vote.

I think the DNC just keeps putting up bad candidates, some of whom happen to be women

I use rsync for a similar system. One of the nice things is that you can set a bandwidth limit so that it doesn't saturate your family's internet connections.

lol, that's how I did my trip to Germany. I got my first hotel for only a few days, then decided when/where to go next based on that. Rinse-Repeat for a few weeks

Ah, I haven't seen that in forever. I guess me forgetting is a sign that I need to re-watch it

Hrm, that doesn't seem to work. I'm on piefed, not lemmy, so I wonder if that is the issue

I didn't see them advocate for not voting. I also never saw them blame the Democrats for this.

I did see them accurately point out that the party that is supposed to be the opposition to this stuff is doing nothing, and I don't see why the Democrats shouldn't be called out for that.
