It’s simply tribalism at this point. Most people who still support Trump are simply supporting their tribe, whereas on the left most people still believe in the virtues and merits of democracy.

I still feel like democracy will win the day. Most of Trump supporters are 50/60+ and his message doesn’t seem to resonate as well with younger people.

Feel free to post any political stuff to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world if you’d like. You’re welcome to crosspost this there too if you’d like more discussion on it.

I think they were just correcting the number in the post text block that should have read about 1 million dead under COVID during the Trump administration in the US alone, rather than only 200k.

I’d argue it’s because citizens have no voice. The media has there corporate narrative, but the public interest has very few organizations in advocacy of it.

Support local journalism (financially), work to break any media control on the narrative.

The first thing people could start doing is stop providing free labor to the media. It’s all over Lemmy.

Don’t link to a corporate news outlet. Link to an .edu or PBS or NPR or a quality international publicly funded news organization. Or better yet build your own narrative, your own opinions. Discuss your opinions respectfully on !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world . Build momentum and take away the corporate medias control.

Without a public voice advocating for the people, it will be very hard to change any legislation in the peoples favor.

Excellent points and to add to that support local journalism, the smaller the better. The media is really the fourth branch of government when it comes to checks and balances. If media integrity was restored, they could use there influence to hold Congress accountable to the people.

I’d like to try to curtail the personal attacks and bickering with some good rules and guidelines, but I’m not sure it will go anywhere.

Old reddit like <2014 use to be a reasonable place where people all along the political spectrum could discuss policy. That’s really no longer an option because most communities/moderators just don’t want to deal with that, unfortunately that only makes the problem worse…

thank you… I will consider that if this doesn’t go anywhere. Reddit kinda went downhill over the last decade… it use to be a reasonable place for discussion. I would have thought though that most people that migrated here from Reddit would be slightly more mature since they understand the evil of corporate greed but it seems like lately it’s 50/50 on comments now whether you’re going to get personally insulted for blinking wrong.

thank you. I can’t update the main link to that for some reason but added it in the comment box.

if you have a global icon/banner suggestion I’m open for it. Honestly I just had a hard time finding something that represented ‘general poltics’

well it’s not only for US particularly. I just created it because there actually doesn’t exist a single community (at least on LW, I haven’t searched the entire fediverse) to discuss politics, US or global. /c/politics doesn’t currently allow top level posts for discussion or self posts because it is difficult to keep civility.

A vegan diet - which only contains plant-based foods - can lead to deficiencies in calcium, iodine and other vital mineral nutrients. This is particularly risky for people who need extra nutrients and for growing children and adolescents. For these reasons, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (DGE) [German Nutrition Society] advises against following a completely vegan diet.

It wasn’t a personal attack. I could see how it could be read that way but the second sentence was a point of science not insult. It’s hard to convey intention in text.

They are just my observations and interactions with vegans, and the science is clear that most vegans have nutritional deficiencies. It is extremely difficult to actually get everything you need without meat, and you essentially have to plan every single meal in a food planner. I know… I’ve tried it and even planned to a tee it is near impossible to have a balanced diet without meat. I wish it was.

Every vegan I’ve ever spoke with is rude, condescending, and Iamverysmart material. Probably due to lack of essential amino acid intake for proper brain function.

Something tells me they’ll enshitiffy too. It would make me uneasy storing all my passwords with a for profit corp, on their servers.

Is there a more effective one, that slowly edits all your comments a little bit at a time so it misses their detection over a period of weeks/months? Like scrambling/nonsense sentences.

There was a book whose card when blunk when they looked up.

Like completely non sensical but a real sentence so it would be hard to detect.

must be because of the big gulp slurpies

I believe the general consensus is that hooking a smart TV to the Internet is generally a bad idea.

I mean the Vero V seems to be a nice polished experience. It’s just a lot of work to setup a linux box and get it to work, the latter being the hard part. The wiimote and the flirc have some comments in reviews about being poor experiences, and I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap. I don’t mind paying a little bit extra for a finished solution, and it seems like a plus that the Vero is a community/libre project.

trying to get away from Google services / looking for a libre solution.

I would 100% do this (minus the pirating part) if there was a way to get a tv style remote for the box. That’s the biggest obstacle for me because I’ve never been able to find a PC/tv remote and non technical users will be using the TV.
