Nothing will fundamentally change, things will get 10% worse every year and the weapons shipments to the genocidal frontier will continue. Same as it ever was.

They didn't even include a picture of the leaked plans? Lame
Hi Elon please pay me $20/hr to sabotage Trump's campaign
db0 is many things, but a tankie is not one of them
I'm more of an anarchist and I've not had issues with hexbear or .ml, though I don't block lemmygrad I'm not subbed to most of their communities mostly because sectarianism bothers me.
I feel like I always have to check if I'm posting on something that's on .world because even relatively mild off-color humor can get removed as "incivility" if it rubs a mod the wrong way.
Municipal level stuff is nonpartisan where I am. Literally the only reason I bother to vote in federal years is ballot referendum. State rep seats are a lock for Democrats and trying to primary them usually means the incumbent wins in a slam dunk.
I actually do a lot in my spare time, but certainly not electoral work, I don't have the money, time or network to personally run for anything. I have been involved in several unions organizing, which is about the only time voting has felt consequential.
Also I kind of resent the question, this isn't an individuals problem to solve, and blindly participating in a broken system isn't going to fix it.
But what voting is is one of the highest return on investment ways of effecting change
I'm constantly working on local stuff, my vote has never made any kind of a difference - I live in an urban area jerrymandered to include as much of the suburbs as possible, they vote in lockstep to keep their taxes low and poors out. They are bipartisan about that. The local democratic committees are all just full of the family of people running for office and nobody with good politics has the time or energy to participate in the democratic party
I'm in a blue state, I've voted every year for decades, it's always felt like a waste of time. Any time I ask elected representatives about something they didn't already want to do they (or their staff) tell me to fuck off.
If I made a metal cage for rich people that locked and set on fire, I would go to prison for life probably. This guy does that and sells it to them
Riling up nerds is a time honored tradition among my people
I agree with you that this conflict needs a resolution, it's possible lemmy.ml has done some things wrong, that's why I support a two state solution that guarantees lemmy.mls security.
