  • JFC. What is with you people? I don’t understand what you want from me. I voted blue straight down ballot in a swing state and I yelled at my lefty friends to do the same.

    All I am saying and have been saying is I understand why people whose friends and family are being exterminated might not want to vote for team actively arming the people commiting a genocide.

    Hell, theres another post right now on lefty memes about how the harris team knew saying they’d stop arming isreal would give them a jump in the polls.

    I’m not disagreeing with you. All I’m saying is that I understand why say a Palistinian American might be adverse to voting for the side actively faning the flames to a genocide including their own family members. I can imagine waking up and being told you should vote for the side that supplied the bombs that exploded half your family and going “why? So the other half can also get bombed? My whole family is going to die either way” and that being their rational for not voting.

    I’m not supporting that idea nor voter apathy. But i can certainly understand why Kamala lost Michigan, Dearborn has the largest muslim population in the country. I can understand why so many people there might be apathetic or uninterested in voting for a party that has put forth no pushback or even plans to stop an ongoing genocide against people of their faith.

    Again, Trump will absolutely be far worse by just greenlighting isreal.







  • enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another

    Merriam webster dictionary definition 2D.

    That is a definition people use when discussing libre software. The software is under YOUR control. If adobe says “fuck you, you don’t get the brush tool anymore” thats it for the brush tool. If gimp gets rid of a feature in the main branch, you can say “no fuck you I like this tool” and can just keep the code base that included it still.

    Also you have a rather perscriptive understanding of language, which just simply isn’t how language works. Languages evolve over time. Open up a dictionary and see how many definitions are listed as antiquated. Those are definitions that aren’t used anymore as they fell out of favor.

    Now get off your high horse about how words aren’t the same as they used to be or how words are frozen to definitions.
