    Now? Did it become affordable for 51 percent of American Renters for like a month or something? It’s been unaffordable for a decade.

        Oh, there’s definitely plenty of brainwashed trolls on the fediverse. They just don’t necessarily make up more than a small minority.

          Realistically there are only two options in the presidential race. In other races there’s far more choice and chance of seeing effective change.

          If you’re only betting on one horse, that being the general presidential race, yeah you’ve got two options: slow decline or fast decline. Expand your portfolio, my dude.

            Yes. Vote in all elections. Vote locally since that’s where real grassroots politicians get their start and can have the opportunity to build their reputation. Do some active research and donate time or money to campaigns you really support. Vote in primaries to get your preferred candidates into the general. Vote the best or at least the least bad electable option in the general. Bitter old assholes have nothing better to do than consume media that will try to scare them into getting their asses to the ballot boxes to vote in ways that help those media companies grow more profit. We need to similarly remain aware and active to contest their weaponized gullibility. These are the same demographic who get tricked into buying iTunes gift cards to hand over to scammers posing as the IRS.

      I see a lot of lib brainrot on .world and the like but I genuinely have not seen people saying that. Most Americans are well aware of how shit things are getting they just unfortunately believe that electoralism will change things

          Liberalism encompasses both American political parties to be clear. From an outside perspective who was formerly on the inside it really feels like a degradation of self awareness or at the very least and a complete lack of critical thoughts at worst.

          I call it brainrot because it feels like it’s actively getting worse as time goes on but maybe I’m just becoming more aware of it as I age idk. I’ll admit it’s a terminally online term tho lol
