No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Because it’s being BUILT. Follow Bernie Sanders to find out more.
Also text RESIST to 50409 to make your voice heard in Congress.
Sanders is a neoliberal sheepdog. He lured everyone to the polls with bright ideas only for them to be killed when he said we need to vote for the people that created the shithole government we have
He got gigafucked by the DNC. What was he supposed to do after he lost the primary?
Openly protest them.
Actively work to undermine the system that hindered him.
Separate from them.
Refuse to endorse their stance when it is diametrically opposed to his beliefs.
There's a lot someone can do when the system they're a part of fails to hold to their or the system's own values, but the one thing you can't do is champion the system without change.
and yet he continues to shill for them
Yeah idk. If you check my comment history you will see this conversation getting played from several angles. Obviously trump is worse than Biden, but Trump being that bad means if we all agree to fall in line then Biden has no incentive to to improve
We could play the slow game and slowly install progressive people and hopefully stuff will be better in 50 years, but with the wealth inequality since Reagan I feel like we've already tried the slow game. It's hard to tell if things are actually improving.
I'm just so sick of watching Bernie be on the right side of history every time. Motherfucker is actually literally batting a thousand
And yet he's not our prez. Shit sucks
There is no slow game, people have had the same arguments for over a hundred years. The only way is let them keep losing elections. Either they bend to the will of their constituents or they are replaced by a party that will.
Yeah but people love to say "if Trump wins democracy is over for good". Idk if I want another four years of that but I do think Biden needs an actual incentive to change.
They love to claim Trump is gonna be able to pass all these laws on day one as if hes all powerful
He's already tried to overthrow the election and had stated he will be a dictator. He will certainly try
he'll never be our president if democrats don't change and his biggest way he can help the situation is by giving very public and persistent voice to the criticisms he's levied against biden during his last 2 presidential campaigns
He did release a video recently criticizing him at the start, but then falling in line after. Biden won the primary and Bernie isn't splitting the vote. It's too late cuz primary is over. Gotta go Biden due to FPTP
bernie's biggest potential in this situation is calling out biden as an ally on his record and past support as publicly and loudly as he can and still saying that he supports biden.
i plan on voting for biden and i will only blame democrats; not other leftest; if he loses like the polls say that he will.
Not lose all credibility endorsing the things he's spoken out against is what he could have done. 'I support Medicare for all, vote for this guy that says he would veto any efforts to enact it'
The system is what it is. Would you rather he tell people to vote trump? The primaries were over. Given FPTP if you vote a third party you either split the vote and lose, or waste a vote.
Split the vote is liberal myth, we wouldnt vote for your shitty candidates if they were the only ones on the ballot. Democrats and republicans no more represent us than Republicans represent you.
Not true. He's one of the most decent people among us and he did what he could, the right thing in a fucked situation, to try to avoid infighting that would have certainly led to a guaranteed loss and a president they would do things like mismanage a pandemic to directly lead to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.
Your comment fits a 14 year olds developing mind, there's definitely a type for "fuck the authority no matter what", but it has no sense of scale or lived reality that a rational adult applies.
See, no one is ever good enough for leftists. That's why you people never win elections, you eat each other.
Sanders is not a leftist. That's like saying Nicki Haley isn't good enough for democrats.
Case in point
I honestly don't wanna hear about Sanders anymore. He's a loser and a failure. He's all talk. He can't win the democratic primary, let alone a federal election. He should be writing books about sociology, not being a politician.
Not to mention how sick I am of people bitching about elected officials being too old, yet standing behind a wealthy, old as fuck white man like Sanders
It helps that he has more sensical views compared to the other 2 big ones.
It helps he's a fucking meme and his supporters are children. That's all. You guys don't know half of his policy stances, or anyone else's.
Bruh you really gonna call Bernie wealthy lmao. Three mil ain't shit.
He couldn't win because Dems agreed to tank him on purpose by collectively dropping out while he was building momentum. Shady fucking moves in 2020. I hate them so much for it.
Ok but he didn't win... If he didn't avoid the fuckery of a primary, he wouldn't have made the election win.
I can tell literally feel the weight of this comment, it's so dense.
