I’ve been voting in elections for decades for the Dems and the Dems have only gotten worse every time I voted for them, they kept ratcheting right. I took a stance this election for president because I realized it wouldn’t have mattered both parties are captured by the oligarchy. If you’ve been voting for them for decades and haven’t had the epiphany that they aren’t working for you, maybe you need to go back to grade school.

Voting is not the only action that created the current environment get over yourself.

You are not better or more informed because you voted for one oligarch party over the other.

I have a line I won’t cross that’s genocide, where’s yours? Nowhere to be found because Dem loyalists are feckless spineless cowards who do nothing but defend every action Dem politicians make.

I’m glad boot lickers like you hate people that have principles like me because you have none, and I don’t want people like that for allies.

Edit: Also your party fucked up and lost and you’re trying to get others to admit they fucked up but you won’t? Got it.

Honestly, and other people on Lemmy acting like this election is the ONLY thing that caused this moment are real ignorant, this has been building for decades. If the Party Loyalists had pushed their party to be GOOD instead of just being “not the other guy” we wouldn’t be in this moment.

The one on the left is The Democrat loyalist when you tell them they ran a bad campaign (they lost).

The one on the right is a Progressive.

I think if we had co-ops running some of these systems it would definitely alleviate some issues

Honestly Mastodon is the closest thing atm unless you can get more people to join Friendica

Democrats have moved to the right, and hurt themselves doing so. That is true. But they are still objectively superior to Republicans in every conceivable way. People who voted Republican voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces party because they were angry about Democrats being imperfect, and their faces will be eaten.

The problem you (people blaming voters) don’t seem to understand is, the Democrats moving right DIRECTLY demotivated voters and they stayed home because they were going to get right wing policy either way. They literally had no choice in multiple different avenues of how the country would be run so they said “fuck it if I got no choice for x y AND z, why vote?” maybe they still had a choice for a-w but maybe those specific policies didn’t matter to them personally and wouldn’t have affected their life.

This is A) the problem with having a shitty party platform and B) the problem with hyper-individualism that our country loves.

Not even every state, look at Flint, MI …

I mean, California just voted to KEEP prison labor slavery so…

It just means they don’t want to expend the little effort it takes to do pattern scanning looking for cheaters.

Easy way to catch shooter cheaters: they move faster, they aim faster, they fire faster, they look at an enemy through a wall for x amount of seconds while one or both are moving, they don’t touch the ground for long long periods of time etc.

Update, I have made GDM unusable (not just broken styling), progress!

I appreciate the help, I did use dconf editor but I haven’t manually cleared these out and updated dconf I’ll try this out, worst case GDM is still busted.

I honestly just wish there was some really good GDM docs I could find to make it easy to reset it to default.

Like how I used GDM-Settings on Pop_OS without knowing GDM-Settings is for OLD gdm, and now I have to use LightDM because I can’t find the config files that are broken in GDM that cause it to have no styling and be black font with trails anytime something moves?

(and yes I have reinstalled it, gnome-shell, pop-theme, etc even with forcing dpkg to re-write over config files. I’ve manually gone through and deleted config files and reinstalled to redownload them, I cannot get GDM back to even default GDM let alone the pop version.)

I just wish someone was making half decent 3rd party hardware to use with Clone Hero thats NOT over $60.

Heres a programming (merge sort?) trick applied to troubleshooting GPOs: turn off half the policies in the GP, did the issue go away? if yes its in the turned off half, if no, turn off another half of the active policies, repeat

Tell that to the college anti-war protestors getting beat by police for literally using their first amendment right to protest and speak, and NOT blocking movement to classes at all.

Worst thing is you may have to learn downgrade commands on PopOS if a game breaks with driver updates.

I don’t see Elden Ring devs complaining, maybe focus on gameplay and style more than graphics and MTX and hollywood actors?

Sounds like a job for a rasberry pi with pihole installed: https://pi-hole.net/
