If you plan to do protesting - i wpuld highly recommend getting a Faraday bag gor your phone. Just turning it off isn't good enough

It could be covered in social media but not by mainstream news. The real source of information these days is from the former, whether one likes it or not.

Protest by going out to vote. Only 64% of eligible voters participated in the 2024 election. Trump won the popular vote by a slim margin but got less votes than Biden did in 2020. Had more Democrats voted, we would have won the election.

I was talking to my brother about this the other day and tin foil hatting... Perhaps musk didn't rig the election in trumps favour by adding votes, but instead deleting the democrats votes. Thus making the left feel helpless while still guaranteeing an election

Yep. You're not 'tin foil hatting', this is just what happened. Can't believe this still needs to be said, but here's a post I just made : https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21747932
