      A funny future

      The elections are a huge surprise. The dems do shockingly well. In her inauguration speech Kamala says they’re gonna to put Roe into law. But - somehow - they can’t manage it in her first two years. The dems say the 2026 election is most important election because - Trust them(!) - they’re gonna pass a Roe law if they keep control of congress. In another shocker - they keep congress. They finally pass a Roe law. But then in a 100% non-surprise - the GOP justices say “Nah, unconstitional.” The dems are shocked - shocked(!) - by this 100% predictable situation.

      The dems say the 2028 election is most important election because - Trust them(!) - they’re gonna pack sorry, expand the court and then pass a Roe law if they keep control of congress and Kamala wins again. In yet another shocker - the dems do shockingly well. In her second inauguration speech Kamala says they’re gonna pack the court and then put Roe into law. But as time passes more and dem senators say they are uncomfortable with packing the court and they won’t do it.

      Meanwhile to punch them when they are down and pour salt in the wounds - Fetterman gleefully switches parties and says he’s been Born Again, he’s a proud republican, and he’s pro-life. The dems say the 2030 election is most important election because - Trust them(!) - they’re…

    Are liberals serious when they say this delusional nonsense? Like sure it’ll be bad for minorities but making the leap from that to gas chambers just makes you look insane.

      I do not fucking know when they’re serious, when they’re lying, when they’re twisted up in their own ignorance and delusion. It’s like Nextdoor Nazis when they start calling the cops because they think they saw a Bulgarian or something, I have no fucking idea what’s actually happening in their cranial skull vault.

    i feel like i could write a satirical article about “top 10 most important most important elections of our lifetime” and basically just list every previous election in order and that’d be a solid Onion bit

    how do I get paid, though

      Biden had a more agressive deportation policy than Trump, but I assume that wasn’t by train. The only thing Biden did with trains was to break a trainworkers strike. vote

      people talk about voting and how cool democrats are all day?

      For a very long time the site was very tiny and by net standards - unimportant. Recently after Elon fucked up and got Twitter banned in Brazil - the number of users jumped by many millions. But the vast majority are Brazilians and/or pop culture posters. The new accounts must be sort of drowning out what I assume are the few hundred top lib accounts that do talk about voting and how cool democrats are all day. Their posts are greatly aided by Bluesky’s moderation which is nuclear. Libs use it - cough - liberally. Not a joke. Libs - the top ones or any of them can go “Nah, nah, nah,” as much as they want.

      Some of them boast about blocking “bad” accounts. And from their perspective - that included me. If somebody blocked me or muted me - my convos to them died. Any reposts or quotes I did from their accounts disappeared off my profile. In my first account - I had nature photographers block or mute me because I assume they had a look at my profile and they saw my posts poking fun of Biden and they got mad. Sad.

      In my new account - so far I don’t follow anybody. Not following anybody should make the site 100% unusable but I use skyfeed.app do make my own feeds. And I’ll never mention politics. I don’t want them blocking or muting me. I I want to see their idiotic posts so I can share their stupid posts here. Hexbear is sort of my DarkBluesky.

        I was mostly joking about the honeypot part but it is interesting how it seems designed to be self sustaining bubble for people. From the way you describe it, it sounds like the perfect place for the “their all russian bots” libs.

          I never expected Bluesky to be worse than Reddit. I sometimes use my first account to post if I just can’t stop myself but it’s pointless to try to talk to them. It’s pretty funny and pretty damn rich when I see Bluesky libs complaining about how it’s pointless to talk to republicans or that republicans live in a their own reality. Bluesky is an echo chamber and the libs work to keep it that way.

      Bluesky is a psyop insofar as every Silicon Valley platform is a psyop, but the answer is more simple. Social media sites take off when there is an exodus from an existing platform. Voat was in position when Reddit finally started to crack down on GamerGate, so it filled up with Nazis. Bluesky was in position when Elon acquired Twitter, destroyed the “legitimacy” the verification system, and made it pay-to-win, so it filled up with VBNMW liberals and associated clout chasers.

        i-cant Yah, there is truth to that.

        so it filled up with VBNMW liberals and associated clout chasers.

        This is the part that is just hilarious to me. The most annoying people on twitter all went in en masse to this one service where so many better alternatives existed. And then all the nazi’s rushed in to replace them. These people behave more like bots than I would expect bots to.
