“I’m unhappy, financially so I’m going to vote for the felon, racist, sexist, fascist” still doesn’t add up.

sure it does. people are not 100% rational. they will use motivated reasoning to justify whatever they need to vote for (what they perceive to be) their best interests.

I agree, I think it's 100% inflation related which has nothing to do with Biden or Harris. And inflation is already back to normal, so Trump's economy is going to look better having done nothing at all.

they think trump is better for the economy because Biden got fucked with the pandemic inflation fallout.

the fact that it's even close is still disturbing.

We NEED to hear others, if not just for the fact that others may NEED to hear our voices too.

We have tried engaging in good faith, but they don't WANT to hear us. For example, the mods of [email protected] (specifically https://lemmy.ml/u/OurToothbrush) ban for people for simply disagreeing with them. Happened to me and I've seen multiple others.

This is about open-source being open.

tell that to the mods of [email protected] who ban you for disagreeing with them.

I think the fair thing to do, is to respond in the same scale (i. e. blocking specific users) instead of going all ballistic with instance blocks.

it's not just random users, the mods of larger communities like [email protected] will delete your comments and ban you simply for disagreeing with them.

yep I got banned from there for simply stating that ukraine has a right to defend themselves after Modi called for "peace". Apparently absolute pacifism is only required from one side.

da ali g show. not entirely interviews of people in the public sphere, but a significant portion are.

yeah I'm sure there is a contract and/or standard legal processes that covers this situation. I'm just saying I wouldn't rely on a casual interaction with a store manager to cover my ass legally, all for the benefit of putting Doom on a computer kiosk, or outright taking dozens of DVDs.
