Attention #fediverse / #mastodon
We're entering #election season in the #USA. The #midterms
That means something for you:
You will see an increase in #trolls
Messages along the lines of
"Nothing ever changes, both sides the same, waah" #cynicism
And
"The candidate is unideal. Allow me to amplify and manufacture high holy outrage on the point" #perfectionism
All of which is designed to suppress the #left #vote and help #MAGA
You have been warned. Brace yourself
@benroyce thank you for saying what you're saying and helping lead the flight! But holy freaking shit did you make inhabitants below the sewer manhole covers surface! I guess a good opportunity to deploy blocks and even reporting!

@benroyce Something I heard a couple years ago that really sticks with me:
“You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.”
“Why not? Somebody put it in there in the first place.”
They were voted in; until proven otherwise, they can be voted out.

they reply guy under popular posters
that gets them exposure
and some of them are popular accounts
there are accounts with thousands of followers on the fediverse doing the "but the democrats aren't perfect, waah" and "everything the same, nothing changes, waah" loser bullshit

1. get a new toothpaste tube
2. place the nozzle of the new tube against the nozzle of the old tube
3. squeeze the new tube
et voila
wait... was that was the point of your comment?

@benroyce A good idea is to see who your candidates are, look at what they represent, then ignore the news. If you have specific questions, contact them.
It should be offensive that folk who spend the most in PR are considered most in chance of winning.

The toothpaste probably sticks to you too
I've always regarded the phrase as meaning something is difficult rather than a literal statement that something is impossible.
