Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No one on Lemmy was discouraged or persuaded to vote for anyone. You don't think Lemmy had their minds made up? lolololol come on now, be real. We all know how Lemmy swings.
Yeah? and now did that work out for you. You all lost against Trump, TWICE! How is that even possible? How did you all fumble the ball so badly?! Twice. Twice!!! lololololol
Yeah? Any good choices you are looking at? I'm in Alaska, so it's practically a different country up here anyway. Ain't nowhere I'd rather be in the world. Except maybe for Norway, but they don't let people stay very easily.
I've been studying French for a while now. The original plan was to buy a sailboat and sail around the world -- hence the French, because France still owns a bunch of tropical islands, like Tahiti and Réunion -- but the pandemic fucked up my finances so now I'm less confident about being able to afford one big enough for my family to live aboard long-term. So, not sure, really. At this point, I might be thinking in terms of "any reasonably-developed country that'd take me" and continue to live a 'normal' urban lifestyle.
See, that's a path I just can't get on. As crazy as I may seem tho, my gf is more more hardcore. She'd be fine without indoor plumbing, but fuck that, I want my fucking hot showers! I'm pretty tough, but she's tougher. She doesn't even go online and wouldn't even check out Lemmy when I was trying to explain it to her. lol
You don't seem crazy for your lifestyle; you seem crazy for your political naivete.
I actually 'get' the whole prepper/homesteading thing, BTW. For me, that lifestyle would be a very close third after "urban/walkable" and "itinerant boat-person," and come way ahead of "typical car-dependent suburbanite."
You opinion. For me, these are my beliefs.
This just isn't true, there absolutely were people here saying no options were good because of the genocide
And you think that minds and votes were changed because of Lemmy? Come on, now...
You know some people didn't like the genocide options, and bailed. That's their right.
