There is always an incredible amount of fear-mongering and general negativity in the US media. This is especially so for politics.
Here is my unsolicited advice:
- Ignore the media including polls.
- If you are capable, then please do some canvasing.
- Vote and encourage those around you to vote.

Any leftist who doesn’t vote against a facist far-right candidate like Trump is pretty shit at being a leftist.
Beehaw is more lib left. Try hexbear.net
Happy C day
Thanks, you were the only one to tell me! 07 fellow leftist.
And If you don’t mind, I’d like to take a moment to try to start a new tradition:
Each year on your Fediverse cake day, in response to the first person who wishes you happy cake day, you must tell the story of how you came to be here in the Fediverse. Here is mine:
This is my first Cake Day as I started a year ago when I joined Lemmy.world and Kbin and Mastodon all at the same time. I left from Reddit after the AMA with u/spez. I knew it that point he wasn’t relenting on the third-party apps and the loss of access for me personally, but mostly for the deaf and blind community, showed me that the CEO had no intention of putting accessibility over profit. I was an Apollo user and I was looking for an alternative while also browsing Reddit - using them as a resource, as I always had - and I was seeing censorship abound. Reddit was blocking mentions of alternative sites, blocking discussion about Spez, and the subs were rising up. I used those last few months of Apollo to help with the protests (John Oliver in /pics) and watched the proletariat attack the bourgeoisie for the rights of the people.
Then I started going full fediverse, posting Pokémon Cards on Kbin in a lovely group with three people in which I hope to return to some day when life settles. But Lemmy had the quantity and quality I was looking for. I joined .world at first because I didn’t know what was best, but switched to Midwest.social when .world blocked Hexbear. Went from pc to phone when the apps came out. Went from Memmy to Thunder because Thunder supported Hexbears stickers! And here I am, one year later!
Thats great bro. As much as you moved towards a more fediverse aproach to social media, i wish you can continue on a journey to go even further left. You told me to go to hexbear, im already there and i think they are good, but i do think they have some lib ideas in the community. Im also on Grad, wich is feel is even leftier, but still have steps to walk towards a real proletarian ideology. Funny fact, my application for the Grad got rejected. See you around mate
Oh no Biden the guy who I know what to expect from and will continue my experience for 30 years and not the one trying to get people to overthrow my government.
You’re just mad you don’t get a vote 💅
