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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

They aren't going to scar anyone more than they have the past year, there's nothing worse they can do. We've already seen the barbarity, the dead children, the destroyed homes, the immolated people. Let's not pretend like they're doing anything they wouldn't have done if Kamala won.

There are no demands. No one is falling for that again. Not voting was spitting in their face for their unrepentant evil.

We’ll know soon enough by 2026 how many people would be scared enough to vote for the Democrats again.

I’d say at least half of the people who sat out of this election would be made to think that it’s just not worth trying to “punish” the Democrats when the punishment being dished out is to suffer under unhinged MAGA administration. It’s just the system disciplining the voters.

The annihilation of third party in this election ensured that this will almost certainly be the case in two years’ time. What else are the people going to do? Keep letting the GOP win?
