Who are we voting for this election?

Voting in a bourgeois democracy yada yada... But seriously if we all came together and went out to vote, who'd it be? I saw joke responses for Markiplier that seemed to gain traction on tiktok the same day, other comments here and on YouTube proposed Jill Stein(or it was just yt and my mind is playing tricks). Asking because I had had a discussion with my roommate (the other roommate that isn't the LL) and he said something along the lines of if I don't vote I don't get to complain, which i don't agree with but understand the sentiment. That and we discussed more of an importance of local elections rather than national. And idk I'm not one for caring anymore. If things were better and more hopeful I'd try but teeth hurt and it's not getting better, hair is falling out, body is weak, diet is shit, youth is gone, and I've nothing to show for it. So I definitely don't care anymore and more than likely won't participate myself unless I really see some sort of movement even then I'd probably walk into traffic before voting again.

Ideally one that is forward-thinking, gaming-friendly, and efficient.

They all seem to be either pointlessly obsessed with electoralism despite not even being able to convince their own friends and family to vote for them (like barely double digit total votes), TERFs (on terf island - surely not!), trots, or just so small that it’s just 1 person and their two sock puppet accounts on a Facebook page (also what is with the use of Facebook?!)

I don't want to miss out on any, like with Russo-Ukraine war...

Idk if North Vietnam had the same diplomatic relations. Was South Vietnam considered a seceded sovereign state at the Paris Peace accords?

From one retail worker to another. My most recent one was a lady who had the arrogance to comment on my weight who then yelled "fatso" at me when I ignored her and walked away.

They keep saying leftists won, but it seems to be coalition with centrists?

Is this just Western media calling liberals leftists again or did France actually elect a real leftist government?

I am on unemployment for the first time and they say I need to be filling out a form every 2 weeks saying I was looking for work. My question is how serious are these forms when I fill them out? Do they track down every place I tried to fill out an application for? I am super confused on how all this works and hoping a fellow hexbear can help my neurodivergent ass out.

He seems okay. Anything I should be aware of is he a bigot in any form?

I just switched back to vaporwave-dark becuase the larger text is unironically easier for me to read and I like the rounded boxes.

UK: Man sentenced to four months in jail for carrying Master Sword replica in public - My Nintendo News

Nuneaton resident Anthony Bray, 48, was arrested by Warwickshire Police on June 8th, 2024, for possessing a “bladed article” in public that was sharp enough to be used for violence or intimidation- a point that Bray acknowledged during his confrontation with the police. He also remarked that the 6-inch replica of the “blade of evil’s bane” from The Legend of Zelda was a fidget toy, but officers explained that the properties of the toy’s blade, and more critically, his behaviour, nonetheless violated law.

Think it's just enragement bait but idk might be cool if he got removed from yt or at least gets clowned on to hell and back.

Yeah looking through his other shorts, it's just hateful shit. Transphobia, body shaming, body count shaming, the works. Don't really care anymore. Shit like that needs to be stomped tf out. Go ham y'all but be smart, safe, and don't get ignorant/hateful. But by all means bully the shit outta him if you want.
