You lied

About what? Are you a seven year old?

That is called moving the goalpost

No, that’s called a simple logical sequence.

I claim democrats think social media posts are enough.

You claim they don’t.

So the options are: they are doing more than just social media posts, which I asked for proof of and you started crying instead of providing it, or all they do is social media posts.

If all they do is social media posts, either democrats think it’s enough, or they agree with Trump.

What other option is left? They disagree, don’t think its enough… But do nothing? That’s called passive agreement.

Its deeply concerning that you can’t follow a simple chain of thought like that. But maybe this explains the situation you are in… It’s even more concerning that you thought replying with “nuh huh” means you “addressed” my point. I’m seeing a lot of parallels with the social media videos…

You want me to prove that social media posts are seen as solving the problem

No, I was pretty clear in my writing. Prove that the Dem party is doing anything other than the social media posts.

But considering you struggled reading this simple sentence, I shouldn’t hold my breath.

Sure, disprove me. What exactly are your elected representatives doing besides the TikTok videos to stop Trump right now? And how effective has it been?

I’ll make the popcorn, take your time.

How curious, given that’s the most you fucking do. Democrats are absolutely useless opposition.

Sometimes I forget macOS exists

I asked my crystal ball. It says:

We should reject them.

Half of the US agrees with him. The other half thinks AOC’s snappy comebacks being shared on Reddit are more than enough to stop him. The US is a shithole with only two viable parties, so the end result is what you see.

Read up on a thing called ‘The Electoral College.’

And that prevents you from getting up your chair and protesting?

Left leaning California has 2 Senators

lol “left leaning”

Is it not possible that the capitalist system we work under makes it very difficult for many people to protest

When was history ever easy? What exactly did you expect, to induce change by tweeting angrily? Is the difficulty more important than the lives being lost?

Either way, not sure how that’s an answer to my comment. There are a thousand different ways to fight that aren’t simply sharing a perfectly rehearsed AOC rebuttal that is precisely long enough to make for a viral TikTok video designed by a PR team and then feeling like you’re different. You are not. Voting for a party is not the end of your civic duties, nor does it make you opposition if that’s the end of your actions.

I think this is a pretty pointless distinction, but sure, here’s a convenient nine-year-old ready list for your reference, ordered best to worse:

A person actively protesting, sabotaging and working politically against the current administration > A crusty sock I’ve forgotten I’ve left behind my bed after a gym session > Person voting for a democrat > Person not voting > Person voting for a Republican > Person voting for Donald Trump > Hitler

The children? No.

The dead weight “opposition” that does nothing but complain online? Yes. Blood is in your hands too.

They always play that card. Somehow, in their minds, they’re the strongest democracy out there, but over the multiple decades of their elected government representatives doing atrocious stuff their answer is always “oh no you see they don’t represent the real americans”

It mocks the US, so that’s exactly the type of news I want

Oh look, another centralized social media site owned by tech bros!

Our luck was that personal computers existed before phones. The fact computing is open is a miracle.

Microsoft would love to only sell computers with locked bootloaders, enforced DRM, locked down stores. Imagine having to jailbreak your desktop.

They don’t have to. It’s backwards compatible. You can ignore it and we can keep on happily using it.

Fuck Google, fuck WebP.

Google tried to sabotage it in favour of its own WebP standard.

Nobody gives a shit about WebP.

I do like you
