So it’s Steve Bannon MAGA, shady af, and libertarian. I love how they call their philosophy post-rationalists. It could be taken many different ways.

WTF? What a wild resume ride:

In 2015, Graber began working as a software engineer for SkuChain in Mountain View, California.[1] She then worked in a factory in Moses Lake, where she soldered together bitcoin mining equipment.[1] In 2016, she began working as a junior developer for the Zcash cryptocurrency.[1][3][4] In 2019, she founded the event planning website Happening, Inc.[1][3][4]

In August 2021, Graber became the first CEO of Bluesky, a microblogging social platform and public benefit company.[5][6][7] Bluesky had been conceived as a new initiative by Twitter’s original owners in 2019, but evolved to become Twitter’s main rival following the 2022 acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk.[3][4][8][9]

Edit: I had no idea he left. He thinks X is awesome now, glad he’s gone. https://time.com/6974971/jack-dorsey-leaves-bluesky-board/

Isn’t Dorsey in charge of Blue Sky?

Not a tweet.

You have to appeal to everyone and no one.

That looks like a high school picture that someone put a hand in front of. Photoshop before there was photoshop. That poor person probably doesn’t even know she was in an ad.

The democrats are full of people wanting to do the right thing. They thought that since Harris won as VP, she was an easy out. She obviously wasn’t.

Do you guys realize they they’re trying to turn us against ourselves so that we don’t notice that Trump said to not worry about the election months ago? He wasn’t even trying in the last couple of weeks. They have been placing election officials for 4 years. They legally cheated with a fuck ton of propaganda coming from Russia.

Don’t fall for the trap or I’m going to put you in with the republicans and democrats that sat this one out. You’re being stooges.

To be fair, they legally cheated. I understand your way of thinking though.

I removed it, but I gotta lock this shit too?

LMAO, current catholics (not centuries old catholics) believe murder can’t be forgiven in confession. That’s it, go straight to hell, no purgatory for you. You’re obviously not catholic.

Survive the night my fellow Lemmies.

They did try to pressure Biden, he said no. Not enough time once he decided to drop out to have a primary. Biden won with r’s, she didn’t have a chance if she didn’t because of the electoral college. Anything else?

Bernie wasn’t even trying for it this time? I mean what would you do different this time, lol.

The thing I’m getting tired of is losing.

Biden won and so did Obama, a black man. How quickly we forget?

All of you shitting on the DNC and saying it’s all their fault, what would you do differently?

He’s saying that if you lose, you’re a loser. No one, absolutely no one, wins all the time. We won with Biden, an older white father figure. We won with a black man for 8 years.

Wow, I bet you’re fun at a football game. Who did you vote for?

No, we really don’t. We have to blame the people voting for trump or being apathetic about not voting. Throw in some Russian trolling, some Meta and X bullshit and we get a pretty shitty stew. Oh yeah, and the sexists and racists too.

I agree with you about the independent and working and all that, but that’s for lower offices. It’s totally doable, I live in Seattle and it’s done all the time. I’m talking higher office. Unless the r’s mass quit and all money is taken out, there is a .01% (not scientific) chance that a progressive would make it through the primaries.

Lemmy is the best I’ve found so far even though the Russians and other trolls are here. The trolls are the only ones using shitty tactics and trying to guide the conversations with what they post. Most people here see it because we’re refugees from the bad place. Like the convo we’re having would have been downvoted to hell and back while trying to start a fight anywhere else.

You’re right, I didn’t mean to go after you. I’m just frustrated at how shitty our voting and purposely non-voting country is.

As far as dems go, Biden won with the Harris strategy. That’s what they thought would work against trump. Obviously they were wrong. There’s a bunch of gerrymandering (cheating) going on as well.

Here is the bottom line and what I don’t think people understand though, the people funding these campaigns for higher office don’t want progressives. That’s it, the end. How do you fix that now? People may vote for them if they’re given the opportunity, but they will never get the opportunity. That’s just the reality of it.
