Not for the first time do I wish Lemmy had github-like responses. Up/downvotes are utterly inadequate; why didn't Lemmy learn this lesson from Reddit?

Anyway, I love how succinctly you summed up the state we're in. I've joked before that America would be well-served by the introducion of Carousel; I'm well past the Last Day age, but the older I get, the less it becomes a joke to me. It'd be better for the environment, too.

Oh the carousel. Anyway I just wished voters would vote more consciously but even that has been rigged so that people vote to those who appeal to their own fears and anger 😞
