Temo didn’t figure his vote for President Donald Trump would affect them personally. That was before the enforcement of Mr. Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy toward illegal immigrants.

As others have pointed out, the article was from 2018. I wonder how Temo voted this time.

I know others have already pointed out that the article was from when Trump was president, but it’s always good to remember (as folks should have done prior to November 05) that there are almost always degrees of difference.

Afterward, she regularly checked in with U.S. Immigration and Customs officials, which typically went after higher-priority targets like people with criminal records. Temo didn’t figure his vote for President Donald Trump would affect them personally. That was before the enforcement of Mr. Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy toward illegal immigrants.

They seriously unfucked this community just in time!

The right wants nothing more than to accelerate the process, so I can’t see how that connects.

I had the same reaction. Enshittification came for Windows more than a decade ago, WTH are they thinking with this meme?

For the love of all that is holy, do not assume that they will figure out everything you just typed above from the fact that you didn’t vote for them.

I don’t actually agree with your choice, but I do agree with this:

The Dems can be better, but they choose not to.

So please, if you have convinced yourself that withholding one vote out of tens of millions will somehow send them the message you are trying to send, please also convince yourself that it would be even more effective to drop them a line and let them know how you feel in explicit detail.

Same message for everyone else who chose a protest vote on Tuesday. It’s all great to feel like you did the right thing, but maybe now question whether your message will actually be received, and be sure that it does. Otherwise you put Trump in for literally nothing.

This isn’t a world War (in name)

Give it time.

I never thought I’d be living through, what I think of, as a major world event.

I’m an older X-er. I’ve had it up to here with major world events. Boring times. I want to live in BORING TIMES.

but the history books WILL likely bring up this period on the States. In what manner they’re mentioned, good, bad, or indifferent, is yet to be seen.

I feel very sure we can predict in what manner they will be mentioned. The question is how bad will it be.

If the shoe fits…

Oh I wasn’t reluctant, there was never any doubt. I just wasn’t happy. But the thing is - the things I was unhappy about don’t matter to the folks who don’t really follow politics. Whatever their reasons were, they weren’t my reasons.

Well, what the fuck did you think was gonna happen when Kamala glued herself to Biden, and tried to appeal to center right voters? They refuse to make compromises with the left, try to appeal to the center-right, and then blame the left for not voting for them; classic center/lib playbook, the same thing happens in Portugal, same thing happened in 2016 USA elections.

The thing is, I strongly agree with you AND the person you replied to because although I’ve been agape at watching Kamala sprint away from the left from essentially the moment her candidacy was announced, and I think Democrat leadership is FAR too in the pocket of corporate interests, and far too welcoming of Republicans, she’s still so very obviously a better choice than Trump that I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around this. I’d have thought that women alone would have pushed Kamala over the top due to the whole Roe v. Wade thing.

In summary - all my grumpiness at the DNC and Kamala for ignoring the left again was still miles short of what would have propelled me to vote for Trump or enable a Trump win.

Doesn’t matter if they lose faith or not.

As each of these things comes to pass, as I ride this flaming dirigible into the hard earth rushing up at us, at the very least I’m going to spend that time telling the magas in my life that this is their fucking fault at every available opportunity.

Hooray!

We buy a lot of goldfish in this house. More than most people reading this, I can just about guarantee it.

Please allow me to remind everyone that even Goldfish has gone the shrinkflation route. Maybe if their sales are dipping it’s because of their anti-consumer practices.

Not only did the price we paid go up in recent years, but also they changed the size of the large cartons from 30 oz to 27.3 oz.

I’d love to know more about how that poll was conducted. 22% of democrats? 47% of independents? I’m skeptical that those are really reflective of how prevalent those attitudes are.

Kobo, folks. I’ve been there through three generations of devices. No regrets. Fairly hackable, sideload friendly, competitively priced.

So in addition to the Boeing low hanging fruit - feels like the opener to a scifi story involving either covert space weapons testing or the start to some kind of extraterrestrial invasion. 😁

Mussolini: “Do you want fries with that?”

No one is listening I’m sorry to say. I corrected a couple people but then realized it was pointless. The discussions in the crossposted communities (which - holy shit I don’t think I’ve seen something so thoroughly spammed across multiple tech communities before) are just as bad or worse.

It’s just a packaging bug and they said they will fix it.
