You really think Trump outspent Harris? You'd be wrong, go look at the data, trump just went on spaces "normal" people listen, such as podcasts, where Harris didn't.

He spoke about how America is broken, he gave incorrect reasons why, and is lying about helping people with his policies, but he didn't lie and tell people everything is fine like the dems

Haha, I feel similar, I was really mad for a while that he just gave in, but at the same time, I think he did what he thought was best for the country at the time, Trump was and will be terrible for the country, and if the DNC was going to fuck over Bernie and he thought he couldn't possibly win third party and if he DID fight that fight, Trump would assuredly have won.

Of course in hindsight, he won anyway so it would have been better to take the fight to the DNC then.

I don't disagree those factors are at play, but they're not as important as you seem to think in this day and age.

Bernie had real grassroots support and the dems stomped it out. The key is populist rhetoric and speaking about change, the DNC has basically been running on "not Trump" and "well things are bad but they would be worse under Trump." while that is true, that's not a winning message, give people something real to fight for and you'll win support.

How much of a game changer was USB-C for you, compared to other cables? by Jakeroxs in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago

Works great, rarely have issues with the port breaking unlike prior small usb standards, it's nice how ubiquitous it is so I have way less random cable connectors around.

They literally had the bomb and got rid of them all.

[Meme] Which movie was this for you? by Jakeroxs in c/movies@lemm.ee

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago

I feel like you have to go in knowing it's extremely slow and methodical, it really gives room to breath and take in the sights and such. Idk it's a very interestingly shot movie and I wish more were like it, seems like people's attention spans aren't long enough though.

I appreciate BJG giving him a little shit because it was honestly irritating seeing him bow down to the DNC, at the same time, I think he truly thought he could push them left and that Trump is an existential threat to democracy.

Now he's seen over and over that the DNC has no intention of actually changing and was just paying lip service to the left, I hope he has big plans.

Does anyone else think having emojis as a response to a comment/thread would be a neat addition instead of only upvote/downvote?

Reddit seemed to sorta do that with awards but thats not quite what I'm suggesting.

Something similar to GitHub for instance, except we keep the upvote downvote system as-is.

This would hopefully discourage the use of upvote/downvote as a "I like/dislike this" button while also adding the ability to more accurately express the emotion the post/comment illicited

Additionally, there are a lot of people who are mostly just lurkers and have no desire to post, but they want to be able to emote further then just a upvote/downvote but DON'T want to actually post a comment like "I love this" or "You're so right" or even just commenting an emoji, because making a comment is a whole extra action that makes them visible, opens up to comments or upvotes/downvotes.
