Third party votes in a presidential election are effectively virtue signaling. And nothing more. One of the many things that it signals is that you didn't really care who wins. Whether they are Fascist or not. Or that you were hyperbolic / disingenuous in calling them both fascist. Which don't get me wrong Democratic Leadership really seems far too comfortable with the fascists. But they certainly aren't the same.

It is still your god-given right as a voter to use your vote in that way. Though people are right to point out that you didn't show any sort of solidarity against the fascists. The Republicans margin of victory was so thin. This was literally the hypothetical everyone talked to you all about without end. Where you could have made the difference. But chose not to.

You're not wrong that Sanders had some of the most toxic supporters. And still seemingly does. But there's a lot of reasons for that. Part of it was that many of them just like the concept of him and were not supporters of him for any particular political stances. He was the candidate that the GOP focused on promoting the most, to divide and conquer left-leaning voters turning them against each other. Something Sanders himself didn't want. But which worked in spades.

Sanders the person I think is genuine and a great candidate. I would easily vote for him AOC or Warren on any given day.

To an average user they are functionally identical. You wouldn't even hardly notice the difference. I believe Voyager has a data migration utilities. To you get you subscribed to all the same communities with no fuss. Interstellar does as well. Which is the one that I used to migrate over all my subscriptions. It was simple and easy.

I was still referring to the last decade so yes. 2015 till now. That particular patch of time. People were telling her as the most principled and moral candidate rivaling even Bernie Sanders.

All the people that tried to convince me over the last decade that she was somehow an intelligent principled candidate. Where are they now LOL. She was worse than even I implied at the time.

I'm using it right now. In general the only compatibility issue I've had so far. Has been empty posting when trying to cross post. Though I think that recently started working. Outside of that everything that I would normally do under Lemmy has worked just fine.

Sadly the main feeds on piefed.world are just timing out ATM. It's growing pains and it will get fixed. But otherwise piefed has been great.

Gotta love James. Super creative, and he's joined the movement to de enshitifying peoples lives picking up Linux and working to switch his workflow to open source alternatives.

It's not that they can't. It's that they don't care enough. Plus they enjoy the suffering.

They get to be such cuddly mops when they're all grown out. Look a bit like Teddy bears. Our little 13 pounder gets carried around so much she hardly walks. But yes she gets a little curly in her eyes that are always annoying

Yep. It's more a tech archeology video.
