There are two things you do when voting in a two-party system:

1. Vote to keep out the candidates that would do real damage
2. Vote to communicate your preferences for candidates with platforms that match your priorities

I know it seems like a third party is the only solution to your current situation, but it’s not. The solution is to keep the idiots out by voting Democrat in general elections, and then to vote in primaries or with your campaign contribution dollars for Democrats who match your views on Israel/Palestine.

You might also support candidates who are in favor of voting reform, including things like ranked choice voting, which also happen to be people who currently run as Democrats.

Thanks for the tip on Omnivore. I’m now down the rabbit hole and thinking to using it and using the Obsidian or logseq plugin to get everything into one place.

So incredibly true

Every time I grab my son’s or my grandma’s iPhone to help them with something I run into this lack of universal “back” functionality and it drives me absolutely crazy.

Reddit admins: “Surely nobody will actually like Lemmy. It’s like if you took reddit back in time 10 years. Smaller, more niche, less brand activity, pretty much just die-hard nerds. Who could possibly prefer something like that?”

Another vote for fastmail. Very nice interface, full-featured, etc.

I recommend silverbullet.md as someone else posted above.

This is all just so… sad.
