Of course not. Pick the one that’s most likely going to get elected. Or if that’s R and you can’t bring yourself to be involved in R politics, primary the D.

The point is that this isn’t something that should be limited to a single party.

Believe it or not, not everyone on Lemmy who’s in the US votes D across the board.

Which is why you primary the current reps. Of BOTH parties.

”They'll avoid encounters and conflict with people as much as they can. And so we just need to do our part and respect that."

If only the same could be said about politicians.

In the time it takes for all this to play out, all the farmers could recoup their potential losses and then some by replacing their JD investment with Kubota, who supports independent repair shops.

Of course, with the debt load most farmers carry, that’s easier said than done.

If the federal government set up a replacement program though, and shipped all the JD machinery to Ukraine where hackers know how to modify the software, everyone but JD would win.

I’d assume that wall was made of pork, but this is Texas, so it was always a load of bull.

This is why I run my own NextCloud instance that backs up locally and via offsite rotation.

Sure, I could still lose it all, but it would be 100% my own fault if I did.

What we all want to know though is: did she successfully change his name too?

Horses, because they used to be everywhere. Step in the street, and you were likely to step in some.

Bull, because it’s very big and smelly and there was usually some around (steer manure is still prized for gardening).

Bats… because it rains from above and is really gross, and you’ve got a high likelihood of getting really sick from it.

Why we don’t go on about pigeon and seagull guano though? I have no idea.
