Things would have been much worse with Harris though.

Go back to xkcd.
If you want anyways I don't think I have the right to tell you what you should or shouldn't do.
I am not Randall Munroe.
My apologies you're a splitting image.

Wrong again. It's spitting image

You linked spitting image but I wrote splitting image as in if the image was splitten.
I understand it's an easy mistake to make!

Are you intentionally triggering my echolalia?
You know it's completely reasonable and rational to accept you were wrong about a thing even if you hold true to other concepts that may not have a singular answer?
Trying to change reality completely to entertain yourself just makes you the fool and not a person many will bend an ear to, or take with any credibility.
Even as someone who didn't vote Harris, this opinion is objectively wrong
Then why did not vote for her?
Because he's an accelerationist who believes that things getting much worse is a way to spark the revolution and overthrow of American Capital.
Yeah well if that's the case fuck him I'm not fighting in a deadly revolution because his type dragged me into a hell world.
Well yes this is true, but the reason I didn't support Harris was because I supported Claudia. If there literally were no options besides Harris and Trump I would have begrudgingly supported democrats, but thank god we have other options.
Have you heard of the powerball lottery being referred to as a "stupid tax"? People play the Powerball for hopes and feelings and vibes, usually not understanding how infinitesimally small their odds are. They're not going to win, they're just throwing money away to feel better.
You still have better odds of winning the Powerball than Claudia had of winning the general election. It's gonna come out sounding harsh but that's the reality of it.
Supported Claudia de la Cruz, I didn't agree with everything she campaigned on, but she pushed for big ideas I'm interested in: https://votesocialist2024.com/our-program
I'm sure you've heard this before but doing that under a first past the post voting system was painfully stupid.
And before you say I'm rude or causing a break down in leftist unity by calling you stupid: I'm not going to dance around my honest thoughts anymore. I don't care what happens anymore. My political tact has left my body because the world is probably fucking doomed now anyway so who cares.
Wow that was almost self-aware.
Landed a real beut with that one, lol.
I can't believe you said the thing I supported!
Clown comment.
Go burn in hell.
It’s SatansMaggotyCumFart. He’s being sarcastic as always
is this guy supposed to be some lemmy celebrity like flyingsquid?
More or less. He's quite prolific.
So we have this weirdo being just completely wrong on purpose and then FlyingSquid who is going around right now saying everyone's telling them to commit suicide and that they are a moron to be listened to.
Lemmy sure does have such heroes to look up to.
Maybe the issue here is that you’re assuming that these people are considered heroes by anyone to begin with. Just because they post a lot, doesn’t mean anyone looks to them as anything more than what they are.
Content contributors.
A celebrity is someone who is celebrated. Generally positive connotation there.
I think we just then need a different word for someone who gives a lot of people something to talk about whether it is good or bad.
"Celebrity" just means "a famous person," regardless of the origin of the word. It doesn't necessarily mean they're actually celebrated by anyone.
That's just silly. They could be just famous then. Or infamous. Words that mean what you are looking for. The point of celebrity is that they are celebrated. I'm making a joke on someone else comment using the word play of that comment and you are trying to change the definition to alter it.
If you don't find it funny, fine, but please don't try to alter my comment by altering a definition of a word to have an explanation to not finding it so. It's needlessly pedant.
Edit: fun game, try to name a celebrity that isn't celebrated. I couldn't but you may fare better.
Fair point. Though in defense, it’s hard to tell a joke is in jest simply from text. I get it though. My response may have been a bit more aggressive than it needed to be and for that, I apologize.
Nah you good. You never detracted from the conversation, you responded fine.
I think your statement on content contributor is pretty on point.I'm not against asking someone to explain further. Especially in text. Doubly so for forum style short comments where the audience is varied.
Copy that.
