There really are only two because the states, except a few like Vermont, legally recognize and run elections for the duopoly parties. That confers legitimacy you don’t have when you’re running your own internal primary like a UK party, and makes it logistically impossible for third parties to actually challenge the duopoly. That’s why the elites shit a brick when we protest about Palestine but dgaf if we bother to vote or not, because it’s a CCP picking the options for Hong Kong situation.

I’m probably less but I have all of Lemmy.world blocked because it is moded by the kinds of people another instance would block for being an asshole

“If we must burn Democracy to the ground on a pyre of human flesh to save it, so be it!”

You are gonna get sooooo down voted for this. The Ukraine contingent on here cares WAY more about squashing realistic critique than hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians.

The party not allowing debates and threatening everyone to stay out so only an ice cream millionaire who was leaving congress anyway did a quixotic “run” in an attempt to hide how bad Biden had gotten is not a real primary. Just because you don’t grasp verbal irony isn’t everyone else’s fault.

Israel is also behind Sudan via their Sunni vassal states as part of that insane regional domination scheme Netanyahu bragged about at the UN. They are two fronts in the same genocidal war, and we SHOULD be talking about both, and bringing war crime charges for both.

How did nobody notice Biden’s brain no longer works if there was this robust primary process you describe and we all just missed it?

I had my mom on Ubuntu for most of the 2010’s, and then the macbook it was on had catastrophic hard drive failure around the pandemic, but then I was like, you don’t work anymore, why exactly do you NEED a computer to begin with? So now she literally doesn’t have a computer and just lives mobile/tablet OS life, which in a nonprofessional context seems perfectly serviceable these days.

Hell, Lemmy.world will ban you for OPPOSING violence. But the bright side of federation is the lunatics taking over the asylum on one instance doesn’t impact using others.

Too professional, but I could be wrong

I don’t see how you’d have enough parity between two sides, whichever side the military picks would just be the overt over dog and maaaaaaybe you could have some kind of armed mountain resistance or something, but it would be more a rebellion than a civil war.

At the time I thought there was a noticeable drop as of the movie. Never really pinned down what season that is to watch either sides of to see if my theory stands, but, that’s what I recall.

They did also find a calendar in Arabic, which was pretty harrowing. I hope the IDF soldiers involved got intensive therapy for the trauma.

Biden says he saw it, and he would never lie!

The genocidal glee on her face…

Remember when they bothered to pretend that Hamas was blowing up their own hospitals because it would obviously be a war crime to target hospitals? I remember that.

I had issues getting kernel versions on Debian seeing hard drives back when it got bad in the 2010’s (which is why I switched to Fedora, which was what I used as my primary distro before Debian). For experimental purposes, I’d try something with bleeding edge driver support like Fedora, not even to install, just to see if it sees the drive. I’ve even seen issues with kernel v various hardware things on Ubuntu/Mint v Fedora. I am currently very mad at Fedora because 40 is ass, and I’m having PTSD about Debian getting bad (I do hear it gud now) so I’m in no way recommending Fedora rn, but it will see the hardware if it’s a nonproprietary driver newness issue

Yet another US foreign intervention success story!

It’s actually kind of perfect ragebait, because you’ll both get a bunch of people going “OMG!!! She’s beautiful! How dare you, you monster 😭😭😭” AND people going “She should be hotter, what a bitch!” with a single headline.

Man, that’s already a dated reference, huh… Charlie Sheen imploded his whole career and did an interview where he went on about how he was “winning” in like 2011.
