"They have to do that stuff first to earn my vote! I don't care if they never had the power to do so!"

"They've had 4 years to do something!"
Ughh... Learn how it works people. We had 2 conservative "Democrat" (golly gee look how Manchild is not a Democrat anymore literally...) senators deny everything from 2020-2022, then we lost the house to Republicans who's idea of bipartisanship is to give Democrats the finger all the time from 2022-2024... Sooo what exactly could we do?
Then there's the extra special people who want to "balance" by voting D president and R representatives... Ffs... That shit died when Gingrich started his "my way or go fuck yourself" brand of politics...
I mean, where you sign up says something about you, right?
Yarr.
You're not wrong.
Unfortunately whatever shit goes down in your country affects the rest of the world.
Nobody would've given a fuck about USA if it was as relevant as Romania or Denmark.
And who the fuck are you?
Discussing American politics online isn't being a foreign influence. I'm not American, but sure as fuck their politics affects me.
Lol I can understand the confusion, but I really am an American in America. I came over from the reddit exodus last year and lemmy.world couldn't handle all the new people for a time so I swapped over to a smaller instance that happens to be from the Netherlands.
I hope you don't mind me squatting here feddit.nl :P
We welcome all. You can get your standard issue clogs and bitterballen at check in ;)
Hell yeah! Thanks for the welcome!
If you didn't believe me before what would it matter if I told you I'm from NY and specifically long island? I could tell you I hate the L.I.E with every fiber of my being, that housing prices for glorified shacks that look like they burned down twice are going for 300k, and that the ocean parkway is a decent way to get around shit traffic on sunrise highway. I don't know how a random person on the Internet is supposed to prove that is true though.
You could also just check my comment history, I've mentioned where I'm from a number of times. It's one of the reasons I don't delete my history, so if anyone questions "who I am" they can just check it. Just be warned, there's a bunch of stupid comments, exasperation, and self loathing there lol
Not that it matters, but at least I didn't downvote you. I understand the skepticism
Bah, the only way to suss out a true New Yorker is to check their preferred Pizza joint.
My kitchen! Lol
My grandma taught me how to make a fried pizza years ago and now that's all I want to make when I want pizza lol
You not from NY, you think anything other a parking spot going for 300, like stop playing
Why are you like this
I can't help anymore than I already have. I'm not posting personal information to prove anything. I really don't know why you're so dead set on being convinced I'm not from the US.
If I was trying to influence people by being deceptive don't you think I'd avoid having a foreign instance? I'd have like America.Patriot.Eagle or some nonsense lol
I'm from Suffolk county so...:
Edit: I had to come back to this because it just hit me, if you were able to tell that most prices really are wayyyyy higher than 300k are you from NY too? That would be absolutely wild out of all the people on here we'd end up having this discussion as "neighbors!" Small world and all that shit lol
Where's your proof? This is the dumbest shit posted here today.
Why you even speaking up? Where you from?
You came into a comment chain which didn't involve you and offered no proof of your own. Stop being like you are.
Netanyahu gonna be in Florence ADMAX keeps playing nigga going to jail for being a war criminal
i'm just here for the yOuUuUuU sUpPoRt GeNoCiDe!!!! chuds to get triggered and provide entertainment
inb4 "Genocide Joe" and "Blue MAGA" comments
Except I keep voting and they still don’t care what I think because I’m on the left.
Vote in the primaries.
The only reason I’m a registered Democrat is so I can vote in the primaries in my state. And I do so as often as possible.
Good! You're pulling things to the left!
So politics means “when you do things right it will feel like you’ve done nothing at all?”
No, it just means there's more people pulling things to the right. Next you gotta convince people to pull with you.
The absolute top tier play for Leftists now is to show up in DROVES this election, hand Kamala a landslide. And then put up a ton of candidates in the next primary. Show the DNC that you are a force which can win elections, and then put the fear of being primaried in them. That's dragging things to the left.
Considering every election makes me feel more like an outsider in my own country I think it will be less frustrating just to feel like I lose every election.
Unless you have some tips on breaking Americans of their patriotism.
No clue, I'm a giant patriot.
