The other party could put up whatever shitty candidate they wanted whether they espouse the views of the population or not.

Like genocide! Or 99% of the other candidates facist policies. Or ...

Did you mean "The Dems will not save you" as in no matter if they are in control or not, or as in because they weren't elected? Neon is assuming the latter, but if you meant the former, then the entire argument is meaningless.

I'm not a bad programmer, nix is just a horrible programming language

That would be counted as "non-voting" (see Ukr, Afg, Ven). Abstain means the rep was there and voted "abstain"

I don't think there is. The transgender flag is for anyone that is trans. There are transfemme and transmasc specific flags (though they aren't in Unicode so they can't be used like I do the trans flag). Do note that transfemme / -masc does not mean transgender woman and man, they describe how one would like to present and/or express themselves.

Browsers will collapse white space, line breaks are converted to spaces.

Jerboa does not collapse white space, and instead rendered the display name with the line breaks. But, one possible reason is that, the area for usernames/display names can only display 1 line, so all of the pronouns got cut off.

There aren't specific pronouns. One can just use the display name option to add pronouns

I do! And they isn't one of them...

Besides that, I do accept that OP couldn't see my pronouns, it isn't their fault that I deliberately tried to fuck with my display name, and that their app then honours the newlines I put in there but truncates it to one line.

I use they/them as a default. I'll catch myself in using them and go "wait, what is this persons pronouns" and check, on platforms like Lemmy that have it, their display name for pronouns, and if there aren't any, then bio. If neither have any pronouns I'll use they/them. If there are pronouns I will not use they/them unless listed.

Maybe not. But we have to options: Socialism or Barbarism. Continuing with Capitalism is going to lead to a worse outcome, going with Socialism and working to halt climate change will result in a better outcome. Not a great one, not undoing everything in 5 years, but still a better outcome.

Probably not, but it will be able to prioritize things differently. Under socialism it doesn't matter if it is profitable to build high-speed rail, or profitable to run it thereafter, the point isn't to make money, the point is to transport people.
