Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

2020 me (ironically): “the election was stolen”
2024 me (unironically): “the election was stolen”
every year, me (unironically): "the election was stolen by capital"
Every time I say this to liberals or trumpets I start off slow by saying 'the election was stolen' part and then seeing their cringe or glee and then I start going on about how their votes are basically meaningless because theyre not billionaire campaign donors.
Weirdly its mostly the trumpets that agree with the second part.
Super Tuesday in 2020 made me realize the Dems treat the process of electing a leader like McDonald's does a build-a-burger contest. So people could feel profoundly that Bernie Sanders is correct, but the manager in charge of the burger contest isn't really going to start giving people "bag of lettuce and mayonnaise," so they'll just tinker with the process so it doesn't get the most votes.
Boaty McBoatface tier fuckery. "Oh, you want healthcare, wages, and doing something about the fascists killing you in the street? Nah, you actually voted for genocide and union busting, but we'll co-opt your ironic meme in one picture on our website and wear a Kente cloth in the single most out of touch meaningless statement of all time."
