That’s clever, I’d say that’s a fully ethical way to enjoy Spotify. Actually I didn’t know that was possible before because I’ve never tried registering for Spotify. I’ll be sure to suggest this when someone says they still want to use Spotify.

I’m sorry this was already posted on world@lemmy.world. I tried deleting it but it was still showing up under cross-posted to so I ended up undeleting it. I’m not sure if that was the right action to take.

It’s better than before but not everyone gets it yet. When you see a comment like that the solution is to acknowledge or understand their concerns and then explain why it’s still important to vote. The most common misunderstanding I see is that some people claim that both sides are the same because of one particular issue that is only a small part of what a candidate’s policies are. We can do a let’s look approach by asking them if they are the same on other issues and seeing if they are truly the same on the issue they are concerned about.

Or might be better to just educate people who are willing to learn instead of arguing with those who won’t.

Also with that said on more reflection I do realize that some of these issues are past grievances that people bring up and hopefully next time they will vote. For example I do think not having a primary did cause some people to stay home. We must not repeat that same mistake, the next primary must be done fairly.

The more people that leave Reddit and get on Lemmy the better.

How many Democrats were there in congress and how many Republicans? What if Democrats had more votes?

Also which party was responsible for J6 to begin with?

Sir, you forgot your /s.

Voting should be mandatory. I read about how other countries handle their elections and I notice that people in Australia and Brazil have far great satisfaction with their system. Part of it is they have laws that make voting easy and secure. Since voting is mandatory they receiving time off to vote.

Another advantage of making voting compulsory is it helps reduce conspiracy theories about people voting twice. Everyone knows that everyone gets one vote and they must use it.

Also jury duty which is also compulsory is much more of a burden than voting so if they can force you to do jury duty we can have everyone vote.

Trump and Republicans sell out the working class way more than even the most boring DINO centrist/moderate Democrats.

Vote who is closest to your views, you’ll get closer to where you want to be.

I guarantee you that for whatever district or race if you compare the Democrat and the Republican running in that race you’ll find that the Democrat is less corporate and cares more about the people than the Republican in that race does. Voting for the Democrat even the one who wasn’t your first choice in the primary brings you closer to where you want to be and helps shift the Overton window. Primaries typically happen every election cycle and eventually by electing enough Democrats flipping every seat you can will either result in the Democrat you believe is too corporate to shift their beliefs or will result in their ouster with someone who is less corporate.

The WSJ may sometimes be less evil than Murdoch’s other companies but at the end of the day this is a Murdoch publication and it must not be trusted too much. The ultimate purpose of the article is to build right-wing outrage. The other comments already do a great job explaining how it’s really the billionaires who we need to rein in.

Vote out every single Republican or whatever right-wing/far-right party you have in your country. Shift the Overton window each time a seat gets flipped.

Awww my eyes!! Is there some kind of NSFW tag people could use or NSFL in this case so we don’t have to see these kind of images?

I feel like some people here are missing the joke. The point is yes it’s a very convincing AI photo. The fact that people believe it’s real shows why we need AI regulations.

This implies he had a good reputation before? There was already stuff like this out: https://www.enstarz.com/articles/235506/20240816/barron-trump-caught-killing-animals-slapped-f-out-his-nanny-alleged-ex-nanny-claims.htm

We must vote for Democrats in large numbers, make it too big to rig. The more people who vote Democrat the harder it will be to rig the election.

I see people mention this often and I understand where they’re coming from because it sure seem like it’s the reason thinking about how Republicans do something bad and it never gets done. While it’s true that this happening I believe the real issue is actually not enough Democrats in office. Democrats when in power are often stuck with razor thin margins and a few of them are basically DINOs like Joe Manchin. If we had more Democrats in office we wouldn’t be stuck with trying to deal with Joe Manchin because we’d have enough votes even without him.

Well then, time to shut down your Meta account if you still have one. Also do likewise for TikTok and Twitter.

I’m doing all I can to oppose this. I believe that if this is enacted it will create a bad precedence that may result in other countries adopting similar requirements. It must be firmly rejected now so strongly that no other country dares to try it. My goal is to convince hotel companies to oppose the policy because they will be hurt by less people traveling.

I urge everyone to contact hotel companies based in the US and say you won’t be coming if this is enacted or say you’re avoiding the US because of the Trump regime. Also in truth even if this doesn’t get enacted I still strongly suggest you still avoid visiting the US. The more people who boycott the US the more companies will feel pressured to help defeat the Trump regime. Sadly in the US companies can have a lot of influence on politics although so far for the hotel companies I’ve checked it seems like they don’t have much political spending with the exception of Robert Bigelow who’s a right-wing megadonor. If you have no choice but to come to the US please consider avoiding anything he owns although judging from the Wikipedia article I think it’s unlikely you’ll encounter something he owns.

Remember when Republicans (pretended) to support free speech?

I don’t trust a word he says. Musk is a serial liar and there’s no evidence he’s changed his views. He’s never apologized for his previous actions. We must keep boycotting all his companies and never give up until he’s penniless and behind bars.
