Speaking as someone who lives in the US, the reason why people “prefer” it is because it’s embedded into the culture that public transportation is for poor people- temporarily embarrassed millionaires and all that. And the reason for that cultural programming is because auto manufacturers and airlines have consistently lobbied against any improvements to public transportation from the very beginning, and even had a hand in specifically designing cities to require cars. China has bullet trains that could get us safely and comfortably from one side of the country to the other in 4 hours. Most EU countries have safe, cheap, accessible public transportation that EVERYONE uses.

At the end of the day, it’s just another capitalist ploy.

It does retain the selected theme for me, but I would like it to switch when I turn dark mode on like it does on other instances. Strange that it’s only happening here

Plenty of accounts on reddit just existed to see how much they could get downvoted by picking fights and spreading hate for fun, I don’t want to see any of that here

Here’s the idea- for the true patriots, we need something to set us apart since technically the American flag can be construed to include the gays, satanists, etc. I’m thinking some snazzy armbands! It would have to look good with any outfit though. Normally I would say, go with the classic red, white, and blue, but the blue might get washed out a bit since politicians wear blue suits a lot… so maybe we stick with just the red and white? Ooh and we’ll need a logo- something that will let everyone know exactly what we stand for. That can be in black, to stand out better. Does anyone have any ideas?
