Well there is no overnight mass adoption of veganism so you're right, this isn't a problem.

What are we going to do with all of these animals that we bred through artificial insemination that just keep spontaneously appearing, I wonder.

Leaving the dancefloor to move your laundry from washer to dryer would be one of the most surreal experiences I think I can imagine.

Similarly, 'hell yeah ____ is doing another live show tonight, better grab my dirty laundry'

The median american voter can only recognize fascism if it's literally gangs of swastika wearing thugs going door to door rounding people up. 20%+ would actively be in favor of that if it's queers and democrats being rounded up.

It worked for UK Labour at least. But crucially they were out of power and up against a party that was one of the biggest ongoing shitshows in democracy worldwide.

The haters will downvote us for it but damn is it a good time to have a dark sense of humor. It's out of our control but its still bad to see the humor in the absurdity I guess.

I'm still holding out for 'President running the country from prison' which would almost make it worth it.

Democratic strategists keep refusing to learn the lesson that presidential elections are about driving turnout. Centrist swing voters are a red herring and the way to win is to enthuse the base. Her positions failed to enthuse the base and so they were bad. It's much easier for the right to enthuse the base because their base is morons who are going to project whatever they believe onto the candidate as long as they dog whistle enough.

Maybe you should call on the candidate to have less bad positions than try to call on voters to support them despite their bad positions. For some reason 'she's electable if you vote for her' seems to keep being a losing strategy.

Yes, its random lemmy posters that made Harris have a shit campaign that didn't get out the vote. Vote for another centrist in the primary in 4 years whose main appeal is "I'm not Vance" and lets see how 2028 goes.

It's either laugh or cry. Besides we've been here before, he (personally) is not more dangerous now than he was for his last term.
