No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Democratic Primary: Which ever one in the top-two that's more progressive
General: Democratic nominee
I mean that kinda is the only strategy
You could register Republican, then vote in the Republican primary for the less evil candidate.
Then in the general election vote for the Democratic nominee.
Although I don't think many people are doing that, so maybe there's a flaw in that strategy
I simply don’t believe the GOP is possible to save at this point. So I’d never do that.
This wouldn't be about saving the GOP. They aren't going to collapse any time soon, and I don't think they are morally saveable either.
It's just about getting two chances at avoiding the greatest possible evil.
Conservatives are bad. But MAGA-progressives are downright evil.
Nah bro
Even if a "moderate" candidate wins the republican primary, its still gonna be 10x worse than the average corporate dem
Yes. But how is that relevant?
Either the Democrats win the general election, then it's irrelevant who the Republican candidate is, or they lose. Then the moderate Republican would be much better than the maga extremist.
I guess there could be some concerns about a moderate Republican swaying more independent voters?
It was also the only strategy last election, but millions of idiots still voted for non-starter 3rd party candidates or didn't vote.
Voting third party in non-swing states is one of the few ways for people to register their disgust with fake-ass corporate shill Dems.
Voting third party in a swing state is idiotic.
Actually I have a better voting strategy:
— Omar El-Akkad, One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, correction mine.
I also like to fail at my goals. High five!
Well clearly we have different goals and I'm happy to fail all of yours 😃
So what is your plan to actually achieve goals? Protest? A coup d'etat? Civil war?
Do you think archiving those goals in a MAGA-autocracy will be easier than in a less evil system?
How many lives is that sort of change worth?
