Hillary won the popular vote. While yes, America has a sexism problem, the reason the Democrats keep losing when they run women, is that they pick shitty candidates who happen to be women. Maybe they should try running a good candidate who is a woman.

Democrats do lie about their intentions all the time. I saw Biden and Obama's campaigns, and presidencies.

Harris was actually one of the most honest campaigns that the Democrats have run

She ran hard to the right, abandoning all of her previously stated progressive beliefs. She would have continued the shitty economy that Americans were upset with. She said she wouldn't do anything different than a highly unpopular president.

Of course Americans blame the candidate, as they should. Her entire job was to get elected, opposing one of the least popular presidents we've ever had, and she lost. It should have been a slam dunk for her, but she gave all of that up, for money and genocide.

This isn't trying to discourage people from voting, it's trying to send a warning: "If you keep putting in terrible candidates and running on terrible policies, you are going to keep getting shitty turnouts"

No, it's the Republicans who are to blame. The Democratic leadership is to blame for not putting up a candidate or policies that the voters wanted.

It's always amazing to me that people will blame the people who couldn't stomach to vote for the Democrats, rather than getting mad at the Democratic leadership for being so awful that people can't stomach to vote for them.

I'm not sure that's true. While yes, America does have a sexist problem, Hillary won the popular vote.

I think the DNC just keeps putting up bad candidates, some of whom happen to be women

I use rsync for a similar system. One of the nice things is that you can set a bandwidth limit so that it doesn't saturate your family's internet connections.

lol, that's how I did my trip to Germany. I got my first hotel for only a few days, then decided when/where to go next based on that. Rinse-Repeat for a few weeks

Ah, I haven't seen that in forever. I guess me forgetting is a sign that I need to re-watch it

Hrm, that doesn't seem to work. I'm on piefed, not lemmy, so I wonder if that is the issue
