    That is only a very small use case for the majority of discord users, it has overtaken dedicated support forums for the vast majority of gaming, politics, day trading, you name it.

    Then they slowly start adding ads (quests), paywalling more and more features and generally looking to juice their numbers for the IPO, after it goes public it will enshitify further as the csuite looks to get their payday and have their places filled with “shareholder value” types. It’s happened over and over just you wait.



  • Alright lets break this down,

    1. You’re implying there’s only two options, either vote blue no matter who or enable facism and Nazis. This removes literally all guilt and dismisses legit and continuous criticism of the Democrats actions and shortcomings.

    2. You’re straw-manning leftists arguments as shallow or selfish by making it about “how good you feel voting at the ballot box” yet our critiques are expressly aimed at policy failures of Democrats. We want healthcare, we want to end the wars, we want better foreign policy decisions, etc etc but somehow you can just sum it up as “you want to feel good when voting”

    OF COURSE I want to feel good while voting, because I have fucking morals and I do not believe we should actively hand power to people who are not going to follow through with what they say, as the Democrats have done for my entire life paying attention to politics.

    1. You’re completely overlooking accountability of the democratic party in every way, the Democratic Party decides their platform, turnout strategy and need to inspire voters to vote for them. You’re deflecting all blame they absolutely SHOULD GET away from the powerful “aristocracy” as you put it.

    2. You completely ignore structural issues in our voting system like gerrymandering, voter suppression and the two party system itself. You’re blaming individuals for a system we had no hand in creating.

    Ultimately you’re just trying to weaponize guilt, overly simplify complex issues to suit your narrative, misrepresent leftist views and evade accountability through emotional arguments.

    Look inward and be better, or more likely given your amount of posting, find a different job.
