I saw a lot of people saying it was worth not voting for Kamala, because it would “teach the democrats a lesson”. They said “If we refuse to vote for them, they’ll have to step up their game!”

Are you people happy? Do you think the Democrats are losing more right now than America’s trans people, or the Ukrainians, or the Gazans are? Do you think playing Chicken with fascism was worth it?

Office supply shops and universities often have printing services available to the public.

Get a folding table and print a hundred pamphlets. Make sure they have a call to action on them. It can be a representative’s email address, a link to join a local org, or just the word “vote”.

Make signs so people can tell who you are at a glance. Come up with a catchy name for your movement.

Look up the protest laws in New York. Try to stay on public property or on private property where you’ve been allowed. Be polite to the cops. Don’t give them a reason to think you’re performing violent speech.

Civility is one of the rules of this community. If you don’t believe you’re being civil, I’d love to hear so.

There’s no need for such aggression. Yelling won’t make me do what you want.

This conversation ended 26 minutes ago. Please don’t bother me.

I’ve decided not to pursue this conversation any further. It’s clear from the downvotes that the people here have already made up their minds. I was a fool to try and have this conversation on lemmy.ml. You can google “Hexbear transphobia”, and when you find information you don’t like, you can downvote your Google search instead of downvoting me. I’m sure that’s fair.

Hexbear is one of the most trans and queer friendly instances on Lemmy

Hexbear’s transphobia has been very well documented.

Ah, so you mean that many right wing instances are deferated, and ALSO the queers, the trans people, and the furries. Interesting. If both the left and the right are opposed to Hexbear, that would logically suggest Hexbear is centrist.

Marxism is always Communist

Well, if you mean genuine marxists, then yes. But many non-marxist, non-communist groups call themselves marxists, such as Stalinists, who argue for Socialism In One Country against Marx’s advice. You’ve got to look out for those.

I’m curious why you said “instances like Lemmy.world”

Looks like the nice people, the canadians, the LGBT, the trans people, the furries, the new zealanders, the programmers, the germans, and the environmentalists defederated with Hexbear, in terms of instances that have a strong theming. The only common trend I can identify between those groups is that they all tend left of center. Except perhaps the germans, given current events.

So when you said “instances like Lemmy.world”, did you mean leftists?

And Canada all of the Commonwealth

World War 3 is a war.

Nah. Fucking do it. Let’s start WWIII. At this point it would be USA against Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Panama, Greenland, Ukraine…

Let’s get the entire world to gang up on America like we ganged up on Germany a few years ago
