  • Yeah, bravely tried to beat Trump by ignoring their constituents, handwaving a genocide, kowtowing to corporate donors and trying to appeal to moderate Republicans who have been told non-stop for the past 40 years that Democrats are evil and out to destroy the country.

    When your constituents want change and you campaign on keeping things the same, that’s a colossal failure of party leadership, and it shouldn’t be surprising that your voters will become disillusioned and stay home.





  • Nah, they don’t give a shit if it’s gone, because they’ll just pay an army of lawyers to make it go away.

    What this does is makes any competition against any established Internet companies impossible for anyone who can’t afford said army of lawyers. That’s why they’re the main driving force behind it. Any new social media startup will swiftly find themselves buried in litigation over the content people post on their site.

    It’s far worse than you think.






  • Here’s the thing: resistance movements don’t happen overnight except in the most extreme of circumstances, and since our transfer of power was (technically) peaceful, people aren’t feeling the kind of hurt that would drive them to protest just yet.

    So, people who are wise enough to see what’s coming have to start small. Start with a small protest, then work your way up. Boycotts like this one are good for getting people to do something to start off. It might not do a whole lot at first, but they’ll start to add up as more and more people become aware of the movement.

    Eventually, more drastic action can be taken, but getting people together and proving that they have the numbers to make a difference is vital, and unless a catastrophe happens, that process takes time.
