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.

glacier, to android in [General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?
@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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

glacier, to transgender in Germany passes landmark self-ID law: 'trans people exist and deserve recognition'
@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

glacier, to trans in Who you are vs. Who you like?
@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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

glacier, to trans in Do you remember the last thing you told yourself was a reason you "couldn't be trans" before your egg cracked?
@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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

glacier, (edited ) to 196 in Democracy rule
@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Abortion is already codified in some states that are under Democratic control. But Biden is President of the US, not of each individual state. He doesn’t have the power to write or enforce state law. His Department of Justice is challenging some state laws in court. It is not codified at a federal level because Democrats do not have enough votes in the Senate or House to do that. Packing SCOTUS also would require Senate approval.

And I didn’t gaslight anybody or say who to vote for. I only asked how Biden contributes to a fascist America and pointed out that the extremism in this country resulted from Trump’s presidency. The damage that Trump did to this country will take generations to fix and Biden doesn’t have the power to fix everything on his own.

How is Biden oppressing those groups? We are in this position (bans on healthcare, etc.) because Trump’s three SCOTUS picks overturned Roe v Wade and opened the door for all the insane fascist shit going on right now in the Republican controlled states. A majority of people live in Democratic controlled states that have protections for these groups. Things could get so much worse if Trump is given any more power. His first Presidency already set half of the states in the country back over 50 years in terms of women’s rights. He’s also promised to enforce the Comstock Act which would effectively ban abortion nationwide by preventing medical supplies used for abortion related healthcare to be sent in the mail. Not only that but hate crime rates have also gone up since Trump’s first Presidency enabled white supremacists to express their views more openly.

glacier, to technology in Majority of Americans now use ad blockers
@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Definitely look into Next DNS. There are also some Safari extensions that can block ads.

I also suggest buying refurbished unlocked phones in the future instead of going for the carrier freebies which you can see are scams designed to lock you into paying for their overpriced service each month for over a year.
