No shit Gavin Newsom doesn't have the juice, we knew this shit since the LA protests. He's literally just a sticky removed like every other white man in the GOP, or just politics in general.

The Democrat's only chance is maybe JB Pritzker but at this point, I don't think there's hope

The country's full of racists, there's no hope for progress anymore

That's the biggest issue when it comes to communities. So few people actually engage, it's sad.

What's also sad is how hard it is to get people to join. It feels like people will only relocate during the worst possible conditions, Everyone moved to Rednote because Tiktok got banned, A good chunk of people moved to Bluesky because Elon Musk bought twitter and let all the nazis loose. It's gonna take Reddit crashing for people to actually move here, it's so sad :(

(sry this is a bit of a vent pls forgive me)

 

I've been on the internet for a long, long while, and recently the internet has been becoming more and more racist, misogynist, etc. A lot of media apps rolled back their protections of LGBTQ+ people a hot while ago, and my old home of Reddit has devolved into pure insanity. There were new subs popping up left and right that only existed just to be racist and misogynist, it was MADDENING. Before Trump got elected, subs like that would be banned in like... a month, now they're just letting that shit slide. Christ even I got banned for calling out misogyny. It's gonna be damn near impossible to abandon. There's a fuckload of communities and people there, but, oh well... But looking outside of Reddit, it feels like EVERYWHERE is a path into the alt-right pipeline, it's MADDENING. It's gotten this bad and it hasn't even completed a full fucking year, I feel like I'm losing my goddamn mind My only real methods of communicating to people have been limited to Discord and here... it's so lonely
