  • No, they just want someone who will appeal to the common person as maybe caring.

    I said it during his initial campaign run. A “business man” as leader of the country isn’t a horrible thing. Trump and many others are horrible picks for that role though. People will reject that because government isn’t supposed to be for profit but it really is. As taxpayers we just need to rethink what “profit” looks like to us. Universal healthcare, UBI, proper investment in the country, proper ma/pa ternity leave can easily be taxpayer funded and on and on. A good leader will stifle borrowing by the US and make some headway towards our enormous debt while still finding something that works for us as voters.




  • Maybe, but having a sense of community maked a big difference in keeping people engaged when communities are small and need to grow. There are certainly plenty of spaces that should be kept clean and on topic but if everything is always dry and boring you will have limited engagement and limited repeats.

    When a lurker knows how to “newfags can’t triforce”

    Or respond to “Red Leader standing by.”

    Then they see positive feedback from the community they feel like they are part of the community vs an observer and tribalism is one of the strongest features/bugs of humanity.

    This also helps keep discussions civil when you can realize the person you have having a disagreement with regarding “tensor wave field dynamics in corn flakes” isn’t just a raging dick because they used the “specific gravity of skim milk instead of whole milk like you were.”

    Edit: make to makes and mile to milk
