Where is the election megathread? The big spectacle is in two days. It’d be nice to have a central place to discuss, laugh, post memes, etc.
the news megathread on news/hexbear
Ah ok. I’ve never been on hexbear, do you have a link to the thread?
Things are getting heated in Bolivia
I’m scared to comment on the squirrel thing because crazy white people are once again showing that they care about animals more than human life.
squirrel?
Some guy had his squirrel euthanized for not having proper paperwork or something
I do High School debate in the United States. Never in my life have I met more rabid neoliberal imperialists in my life. I need to cleanse my mind.
Those always bring out the debate bros who think minority rights are just another thing to debate
Once when I was debating student debt forgiveness, the person I was debating with (not my opponent) literally said that the US shouldn’t forgive student debt because it’s unfair to the white majority.

Why can’t I just ask people to repeat themselves? I feel so much shame for being hard of hearing. I feel like a burden.
I wish people asked me to repeat myself rather than assuming that they heard/understood what I had said.
Before I started losing my hearing I was already used to asking people to repeat themselves, since I was living abroad and not fluent in the language after all. Although back then nobody seemed to mind, since its normal for foreigners. Ironically its my own countrymen who had less patience for it.
People take it so personally, don’t they
i feel like people forgot about Biden famous statement “nothing will fundamentally change”
Jothing ever happens Vs Trumpillions must die

So now it seems that making comments critical of Israel on Reddit gets you banned for “threatening violence”
I didn’t actually threaten any violence whatsoever but if the censorship is this bad then fuck it, every day should be Oct 7th
Down with pissrael, Zionists gets the wall
Man you know a nation is in a healthy state when it’s election season and everyone is convinced that the other guys are plotting to kill them. Normally, people are mad about taxes or funding but these last 2 cycles have been genuine terror at the thought of the other candidate getting elected.
Literally the only thing I have seen this election is ‘I’m not Trump’ or ‘I’m not Harris’. I don’t have the slightest clue what any of the candidates want to actually do.
Trump wants to resurrect Hitler and create Nazi Germany with Handmaiden characteristics, while Harris will cure cancer, end world hunger, establish world peace, and make every person in America upper middle class with a two-car garage and a pony. At least that’s what reddit tells me…
The electoral democracy theatre has perfected itself and distilled it’s own essence into it’s purest and most honest form.
[…] hope in Western partners is also fading. It’s becoming obvious that they don’t see us as full partners. - Dmytro Kukharchuk, Azov member

interesting insight on ukraine, even the azov guys are losing hope.

you can just go their communities instead of creating an account
can i comment there with lemmygrad account?
yeah
how can i do that? like what’s the federated link to hexbear/news for example?
I’ve had political campaign volunteers knocking on my door multiple times a day and calling me non-stop, mainly to try to get me to vote Democrat for the last week. The amount of political flyers they send to each house is obscene. I had a good sized pile of them I collect just from last week. Talking to the volunteers is ok. We’re always respectful with each other and I participate in their surveys, but their campaign has reached the levels of harassment, so in a moment of mischief, I acted out to entertain myself a bit.
I’ve made my own version of the little free library, for all the political flyers I collected and posted it outside my home: Little propaganda library. Take a flyer, share a flyer.
They’ve stopped knocking on my door.
any american fella tell me what this is
a bunch of libs that are famous because they’re attractive ?
