There's plenty democracy in the world still. And your election seem pretty democratic if you count modern elections where oligarchs controlled media tells you who to vote for as democratic.

So there are two Japanese companies, what racial bias is there then?

Same on Lemmy to be fair.

I still wonder why Americans call that debate a disaster. Biden was out this world 10% of the debate, but was sane and correct the other 90%. Trump was nuts 100% of it. I don't understand why you guys from both parties think that the second one was more fit for running your country.

Aren't those companies already publically owned?

That explanation drives you away from the problems Democratic Party has. If people want to cast their vote, they will, if they are sexists or racists they vote for the other party. In this election we saw that a lot of people from both sides that voted in the previous election who didn't want to vote now. It was much more people for the Democrats likely because they voted last time and were disillusioned in the democratic process.

How many votes Harris got in the primary though?

Well she did have a decent chance judging by results. It's not like it was a crushing victory.

I understand them. I'm not American, and I'm something like a middle class so I'd vote for blue. And most of the people here probably think the same, we have that echo chamber. But if I were poor as I was most of my life, and that's like most of the people voting, I'd vote red.

The reasoning is that both of the candidates don't address the main problems of the society, the last one to do it was Bernie, before him I don't even know, not Obama though.

The problems are education, healthcare, worker rights. You may say the Dem Presidents tried to do something about it but they didn't and actually didn't even try, the problems weren't solved, they are actually worse(not because of their actions, their "actions" really didn't matter and were just for show).

During Trump life got worse, during Biden life got worse, even during Obama life got worse, and now they suggest which kind of "life will get worse" to choose. So as a poor I'd pick the option that's closer to destroying the system altogether than the option that will just make me more miserable to choose another miserable option in 4 years.

I heard a lot(fuck, A LOT) here how Trump will make himself a dictator and destroy the system but if one stupid clown can do it may be it's the government system that's bad. Really bad. And maybe you should address that issue but nobody does.

Maybe you should address the problems that make the people vote for a fucking clown instead of just labelling them stupid.

Those are noobs though, just git good and save the world with a small dick.

Well not really, it's not like Pluto's mass(1/6 of our Moon) will grow much in that time. But there are evidences of water on Pluto and even suggestions of underground liquid water oceans(due to it's core's heat) so it may be suitable for life even now.

They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.

That's just false. First, nobody in the maillists claimed those specific people were working for sanctioned companies. Second, at least one of the banned maintainers, when advised to contact their company's lawyers, said he isn't working for any company at all, just freelancing and doing free work for the community.

What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?

Yes. It was(and probably still is) literally written on the Linux Foundation website that the US sanctions do not concern open source community. It goes against everything open source ideology is, that is code and contribution is all that matters.

And what's worse it raises serious concerns what other malicious actions to the Linux kernel and other projects Linus and LF had to take on demands of the government that likes to install backdoors in software.
