People on this website are understandably losing their minds because we’ve let this type of politics fester so much that the stakes are genuinely high this election cycle. But the stakes are only so high because we keep attempting the same thing over and over again. At this point, I’m not even advocating for a third party. I just want Democrats to do better instead of being less crappy than the other guys.

Honestly, I think we need to stop worrying about console power. It’s not contributing to games getting any better.

If anything, the absolutely insane graphical targets of modern games are causing fewer games being made.

We just need a little more inflation and a few more Netflix price hikes before we lose our bread and circuses.

Unfortunately, I think it’s exactly the opposite. They don’t have to do anything that people want to vote for them anyway.

Go to literally any politcal subs here. Its just tons of genocide approval and conservative economics

I never said we dont need reforms. In fact the issue I have is Capitalism as a whole.

All UBI would do is give those who own the means of automation 100% power. What leverage would we have if not our labor?

Thats not at all to say what we have going on right now is not evil.

Heck, I often find Lemmy too conservative but its nothing as bad as reddit.

I actually think universal basic income is a very flawed idea from a leftist perspective.

It is effectively a capitalist compromise that still puts all of the asset holders in immense positions of power. The only difference now is they effectively are governmentally enforced as those positions of power. It will make the wealth disparity exponentially worse.

The answer to our wealth disparity is to put power in the hands of the average person.

It’s also worth noting that too many people put out way too much imagery of themselves online. People have got to start expecting that anything you put out in the public domain becomes public domain.

Well, one of the alternatives is what ID Software used to do, where they would sell the game for a period of time and then open source the code Once sales dropped off.

Super Tux Kart is actually great. Open Arena is just Quake 3 with original art. IMO Open Arena is criminally underrated

The open sourcing of the quake engine is where a lot of modern engines got their roots.

No I fear nobody is taking this threat to democracy seriously. Thats the issue.

Right, but this also means a fresh face, with little political history would fit that description. We put up the exact oppsite of that.

IE, less of the fossils that currently make up the party.

“Generic Democrat” consistently outpolls Biden every time.

It doesnt really matter if we dont do anything to stop it. I fear if Biden does win (hopefully) that dems will have learned nothing, wasted the next four years instead of fortifying democracy, leaving us with another most important election ever.

We should have used our governmental trifecta in the first two years to plug up every hole in the system.

If this isnt going to change anyones opinions, then why the outrage? We’re all fucked anyways, so let them be upset.

More people tone policing these activists than are upset about the very possible end of our species.

All of pugjesus comments are open for anyone to read. You’re acting frankly nuts right now given the tone.

You are putting words in my mouth.

He’s handwaving genocide. You are too.

Im blocking you. You are deranged.

Absolutely wild take, but keep acting like anyone to the left of Bill Krystol is Satan.

I want Trump to lose actually, I just so happen to think that our support of Isreal is hurting those odds.
