    Geez, this is the 25th time they’ve posted this.

    I thought it was a funny idea the first time I saw it, but this is absolutely not a friendly way to use Lemmy.

        What’s sad is that I, and many others, sit here on Lemmy ingesting such horrible and depressing news about our world today — be it housing crisis, food availability, or any number of other topics — and feeling powerless to do anything about it. It’s maddening.

        I decided that in my small way I’d make an attempt to do something about it. So, on every post about Vance, I would simply post a call to action. It’s nothing big or earth shattering. Just a simple political statement.

        I am pleasantly surprised at the positive reception I have gotten (the upvotes and people expressing their approval through comments). But it’s ok if you don’t like them. I guess in a way it’s like the tide of beans memes that went around for a while — I didn’t like them myself, so I ignored them.

        I’ll offer you this picture of beans as a peace offering. No hard feelings. 😊
