Reddit wasn’t my first or last news forum platform. (Newsgroups were my first)

Unfortunately this bit of Lemmy reminds me of gote/goat (whatever it was called), that turned into pit of Nazis kicked out of Reddit. Or Twitter as rules are removed.

Seams to be, were there is no decent code of conduct, you get Nazis. Be interesting to see how it plays out on a federated platform.

Putin is too paranoid to ensure succession is in place. If he goes, and it will be bloody infighting until a new strong man arises.

But just insisting nations bend over when he decides he wants them is no mechanism for peace.

Giving up liberty doesn’t buy you security. You just end up with neither. Putin won’t stop with Ukraine.

Man, there is a lot of crazy and/or bots/trolls here.

Appeasing people like Putin doesn’t lead to peace.

Imagine thinking this is OK. The dehumanizing mental gymnasts to think this. I’d feel sorry for them and be thinking they need counselling, if it wasn’t for the whole supporting/committing genocide thing…

Separation of church and state.

Well good luck with that. I hope you guys don’t vote in Trump again, for all our sake.

Yer, was thinking of calling it to. I tried. Hope you guys don’t end to with Trump, for all our sake.

Well I guess we will see what happens and hope it’s not world war again. If it is, we all lose.

“The perfect is the enemy of thr good”

Yer, if lots of you think like that, philosophically not tactically, we all get Trump. Men like him you only normally get to vote on once, then it’s a life term they take. You managed to escape that the first time, the insurrection failed. Second time, he’ll try harder.

In the broken systems we both have, all you can do is tactically vote based on the outcomes you want the least. While arguing for better voting systems.

That’s really not cool. It’s basically says to Europe “your on your own with Russia”. And to Russia “Go ahead, we won’t fight you.” Which means Putin will go further than invading Ukrainian. Which mean the EU has to go to war to call his Bluff. You could be looking at WWIII. The US will get sucked in regardless of how isolationist it wants to be. Just like WWI and WWII. So not cool to go pushing over dominoes of the post WWII world order. Especially dumb as the US has benefited a lot from said order.

You honestly think the choice isn’t Biden or Trump? (If nothing unexpected happens)

See if you still feel like if he gets in and does things like taking measures to stay in longer than another single term, withdraw from NATO and the UN.

I’m not supporting it, I’m saying this is the reality. That you have to work with what you have.

I don’t believe in the killing anyone. Including not agreeing with death penalty for anyone.

Those two presidential cadets are your only choices for president. Please do not kill yourself over it. I can’t see how it would even be noticed by the process, let alone change it. Be just another tragedy for another family.

Again, don’t kill yourself or even talk about it.

And how does that translate into a two party voting system? One is multiple times worse than other. What can you do so neither ends up president? Nothing. You only choice is to choose the least bad.
