The US’s democracy has been systematically and continuously eroded for decades, from defunding of the arts/education, defunding of social services, citizens united, consolidation of all media outlets under a few wealthy individuals that shape the US narrative. The people are misinformed, and even so a large majority of those who aren’t are impoverished and barely surviving. Election day isn’t a holiday meaning some of them can afford to take time off to vote. And that’s ignoring the gerrymandering and voter suppression that’s been rampant for decades now too, swaying local and statewide elections. Most people don’t want this, but everything is working against us, most of us don’t want this and didn’t vote for him or his chronies. And for the people in the comments saying “that’s not how a democracy works” CORRECT ours has been dying since the 80’s at the least, and it’s not like America was this shining rod of democracy before that either. It’s not the citizens doing this, they don’t have any say in this type of thing, it’s those who have forced, bribed, and conned their way into power doing everything.

As an American I genuinely fear for the upcoming primaries because in no way do I trust that the results will be legitimate, and even if they are I feel as though they’ll be fucking ignored.

In ten years? God I hope so, but I doubt it. Maybe in 20+ years

That’s such a niche reference lmao

Tbh the vibration motor in modern smart phones has been an absolute game changer, the sound doesn’t really matter as long as it’s a softer sound that still is an alarm. But even semi decent vibration motors in phones are leaps and bounds better than the best of early android phones, it’s like someone is tapping me through the mattress, I wake right up.

Nobody is doing anything fast enough. Regimes fall but this is my biggest fear of a trump presidency because this damage may not be permanent but it will do the most damage in my lifetime.

This title is something that doesn’t make sense said in a way that makes it look logical. If they can’t manage their fees those fees shouldn’t exist. But that’s not really why this requirement it’s going away, it’s because they were bribed.

The term ultra processed us pretty controversial unless they explicitly define it in this legislation. A PB & J is considered ultra processed even if you make the peanut butter, the jam, and the bread yourself because those ingredients have been processed heavily from their natural state.

Edit:

It defines such foods as those that pose the greatest risks to consumers based on scientific evidence of adverse health outcomes, and it directs the state Public Health Department to determine which particular products meet the definition by June 2028.

Ah ok that makes sense.
