Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won't even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 23 points 6 days ago

Agreed, but still do it

Yup. Here's what I did:

  1. recommend others not vote for him in 2016
  2. didn't vote for him in 2016
  3. avoided TruthSocial and other nonsense during his first term
  4. encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2020
  5. didn't vote for him in 2020
  6. continued to avoid TruthSocial
  7. encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2024
  8. didn't vote for him in 2024

See a pattern?

Truth Social wasn't launched until 2022 during the Biden presidency.

Was it? Huh, I guess I avoided it thoroughly enough to not remember when it launched.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You did vote though? Right? Right?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Yup, voted each time. Didn't matter though, my state's elections are almost never competitive. But it only took a few minutes and I voted at home, so at least I didn't spend all afternoon in line.
