my only complaint with it is the same complaint I have with all kpop: it's autotuned to hell and back. I suppose many people like how it sounds, but it's not for me

kiwis? what do New Zealanders have to do with it? I feel like something is flying very far over my head

if I don't use android or iOS, I can't use my banking apps, pay with my phone, access government services as they require an app to sign in, etc. it's just not doable anymore for me

it says you need to have smart features on for this to work. I went looking for how to turn it off, but aparently in the EU, UK, Japan and others it's off by default

I don't think you have a good read on Europeans at least. public sentiment is quite different in different countries, with people in countries closer to Russia being willing to go much further to oppose Russia.

while the average Dutchman probably wouldn't want to fight for their own country, let alone another one, I don't doubt that people in e.g. Poland, the Baltic states or Finland are much more aware of the danger to themselves and their country and more willing to make personal sacrifices.

I think the fact he said 'your nation' instead of 'our nation' should answer your question

I did not assume anything about you, I specifically said I wasn't saying you personally did this. but you can't deny there's a decent proportion of left-leaning voters who do this.

I'm also not a liberal, neither the US usage of the term nor the original usage. But do keep insulting everyone who disagrees with you, I'm sure it will be great for attracting people to your cause

I just think you should consider not only the ideal outcome of your vote but also the most likely one. what did voting third party actually do here other than make you feel good? Trump has in fact been doing worse than kamala would have on the middle east and is gunning for a war against Iran. in addition but obviously not nearly as bad as the genocide, his tariffs will negatively impact a lot of people in southeast asia.

but more than all that, and I'm not saying you personally do this, I'm tired of people not voting in any election but the presidential and then complaining about the choices they ended up with.

I'm not American but there's so many socialists on here refusing to vote for the lesser evil because they don't offer the right candidates and advocating revolution.

why not take a page from the right's clearly successful playbook and vote more in local politics and primaries. Maga managed to turn the republicans into exactly what they wanted this way, but the American left just sits there waiting for someone to start a revolution.

well I understand it might be late now and elections might not do much going forward, but jesus it's like the only option you guys saw is voting for whoever the parties put toward or revolution.

If the point of Lemmy is just to generate as many comments as possible with everyone just assuming whatever they want about linked articles without reading them I'll quickly leave again. I'm here for informed discussion, not for a competition in generating engagement
