Bluesky has a very robust attitude of "Block Early, Block Often, Do Not Engage" when it comes to Bad Actors and Trolls, to suck all the air out of their sails, so it's worked pretty well so far in keeping most of the more blatant shit-stirrers arriving from Twitter from gaining much traction. >

As such, while the physical structure of Bluesky isn't that much different to Twitter from a frontend user experience standpoint, there is a significant difference in the communities it can foster.

Yep. Currently, my only hope to avoid having to handle this with widespread violence (i.e., some sort of civil war) is that the alt-right's ineptitude means they won't have enough time to push past our interference and fully rig future elections by the midterms.

But to do that—as ghoulish as it might sound—the people who had a hand in putting Trump and his ilk in power have to also FINALLY be inconvenienced enough by then to gain a proper perspective on the importance of using that last chance.

There will also still be a presidential election in 2028, so keep an eye out for that. No matter how much the Republican party erodes democratic institutions, they'll still need to have one more big run to cement themselves -- be it through a third Trump term (as the Republican majority makes it easy to toss out that pesky 22nd Amendment) or a second Vance term (should Trump's declining health catch up with him).

I already know they're incompetent. I just now also know that millions of voters are so far up their own ass that they don't know how to strategically vote for the Better option unless it is a Perfect option. It's either The Best Most Awesomest Option Possible or No Vote From Me.

Congrats. Now we've got Fascism. Hope that's what you wanted, because it's what you worked towards and what you earned.

I voted for Harris. I had literally no choice. I do not buy the assumption that there were enough people willing to *not* vote to actually matter until evidence is presented that that's true.

But telling people to be oh so concerned about fascism with one hand while we're literally funneling money and weapons to a fascist state engaged in genocide with the other is laughable.

Having to deal with a problematic ally is a very different matter from having someone in charge who is going to not only tell that problematic ally to go hog-wild, but will also do the same and worse here.

15 million fewer people voted this time than last time.
Whatever the reason, they're a major part of why we won't be having an election in 2028.

There are a lot of people panicking because they honestly thought that tariffs were paid for by the country they were against, NOT America.

That glass house of "Harris lost, now blame everyone else yet again!" isn't a very safe place to throw stones from. Arrogant shitlibs learned nothing from 2016, and you're handily demonstrating why they will learn nothing from 2024.

But they did learn something, they learned 2 very important lessons from 2016 and 2024. They learned that left wing voters are unreliable and can not be counted on to win an election so they will shift further right. Then dumbasses on the internet will bemoan how the shitlibs do not give a flying fuck about the left wing of the party and constantly whine about how the DNC needs to learn a lesson .. to bad they already did, just not the one left wing voters were wanting.

Then they didn't learn anything, you'll never out-right the far right, nobody will vote for the moderate right when they can vote for the full thing, that's literally the lesson of these election. The lesson to be learnt is that if you want votes, shift further left, not right, focus on policies that affect the workers life, not maintaining the status quo, the voters literally told them out right what to focus on. You guys in the US are fucked if you accept that from the dems.

Unreliable because they did nothing to appeal to them, so they didn't get their vote. Appeal to right wing assholes, and they will vote for the guy they already have doing that better than them. Way to demonstrate you also learned nothing. Can you admit the Dems ever fuck up? Trump is clown shoe stupid and should be the easiest person to beat, why is is a nail biter every time?

yeah hopefully the rest of them will finally learn to completely ignore right-wing populist dipshits pretending to be leftists like you instead of just mostly ignoring you

Nah, they'll just invite more right-wing populist dipshits up on stage with them to desperately plea for right-wing populist votes instead of doing literally anything to distinguish themselves from the Republican party.
