My state's senator-elect is a republican, pretty sure he doesnt care.

I feel like this just leads to "trans-vestigations" people would accuse you of being a man, even if you are a cisgender woman, if you act slightly "odd" to them.

Nah, the truth is most people dont really care about climate change. My parents just say: "People say the world is ending all the time like they did in 2012" and "don't worry" basically equating climate change to mayan calandar conspiracy theories. 🤦‍♂️ I have a feeling many people actuallt think this way.

We're so cooked, literally and figuratively.

Cant delete xitter if I never had it

Becoming so rich that greeds corrupts me and becoming the villian that I always despised.

Or die.

Probably the latter tho... 😓

Statistically people with depression like me is at a higher risk of suicide so yea maybe I'd be dead. Or since I'm in the US, die due to political persecution. Basically just boils down to "die".

Best way to respond to toxicity is with a "lol, loser" and block. Dont even elaborate, not worth typing paragraphs and argue. Or if you want, you could just not reply anything at all and just block.

Couldn't be more infuriating than apple's forced 2fa that requires a phone number. Effectively making iOS devices useless unless you have a phone number.

Democrats getting both houses of congress is not implausable, assuming we still have elections in the future.

Packing the supreme court isnt hard, just need the democrats to find their spine. And they could just rebrand it as "Balancing The Court" for PR purposes.

Now finding the states that add up to 270 electoral votes to join the i reinstate conpact, that is the biggest hurdle, but the downballot effect should win enough state legislatures if democrats win congress. Right now we're 77% of the way there. One reason I speculate why they remaing swing states havent joined is becauss they want to wait until theres a friendly congress and supreme court before trying, because there will be legal challenges to it. If congress and supreme court are in control, then I could see swing states quickly joining the interstate compact in rapid succession.

We can kinda get rid of it via National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

First democrats need a majority in both houses in congress, as well as packing the court with more liberal judges.

Then have enough states with the required electoral vote threshold join the interstate compact.

Then have congress approve of it.

Then get the supreme court (now with liberal majority) uphold the interstate compact and rule that subsequent congressional sessions cannot revoke it. (Its currently implied that congressional approval of interstate compacts cannot be revoked, but has never been court tested)

Voila, you get popular vote. For as long as states dont start leaving the interstate compact. But at least you dont need 3/4th of state legislatures.

Smaller federal government when it comes to red states

Bigger federal government when it comes to blue states.

You mean like a VOIP number like Google Voice? Then no, your call get dropped when you move out of wifi range.

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but when the reddit protests were happening, I used Lemmy for a bit then decided to detox from "social media" for a while till now. Am I misinterpreting the activity here?
