They used to, but it didn’t boost ad engagement so they stopped.
I’m just this guy, you know? Except on Lemmy.
Thanks to /u/crank0271 for the name

I blame Macklemore
They’re just complaining because they’re ignorant of the macroeconomic indicators that show 3.7% GDP growth.
Okay so I’m just never gonna be happy with my government because I’m too weird.
Maybe I should be an independent. Since I’m in a swing state they might actually care what I think.
I understand the scope of the field and realize I’ll be an idiot forever?
I just assume I’m an idiot about everything
He’s young, an eloquent speaker, a sharp debater.
Those things only matter to nerds.
Everyone else will see “Butt” in his name and giggle
We do not win this nation with smart, progressive candidates who have educations and experience. We win with characters and celebrity and face-value, direct, dumb messaging. The median voter doesn’t care about outcomes unless it impacts them immediately and noticeably. People may want to be good and do right deep inside their hearts, but at the polls people look at their wallets first, and connect that with the last meme they saw.
I agree with this because it confirms my belief that everyone is an idiot.
I’ve voted in every Democratic primary since I could vote for Kucinich. State and local, too. When does participation mean they care what I think?
I tried to and then realized that they can’t actually help with the main things I want changed, and that they’re just sad little kings of sad little hills.
If that’s the case then we should just give up, because people are going to be fucking idiots like they’ve always been, so we’ll never get anyone good in office ever.
Stop expecting the US to oppose genocide.
We’re never going to oppose genocide.
Genocide is part of what built this country.
Local government isn’t boring. It’s infuriating. It’s like if you gave the worst HOAs a police force.
I’ve been a 10-16 year old boy. At no point was anyone like Andrew Tate “cool” to me. He’s not witty, he’s not talented, he’s done nothing XTREME. He’s clearly putting up a massive front to pretend to be interesting and for some reason - microplastics, smart phone addiction, whatever - it’s working.
Back in the 90s we would have called him “poser.”
Tate just talks into a microphone with his stupid friends. If that’s what is considered “cool” to today’s teenagers then they’re definitely too far gone.
It starts off by talking to lonely young men and telling them that their feelings are valid and that they have value, both of which are things that young men very much do need to hear!
That sort of thinking just made me overly emotional and hot-tempered. Just feeling the feelings was a good thing, so the more I felt it the better, right?
Hearing that I needed to temper my feelings so that I can figure out what I need and how to communicate those needs was a lot more helpful. And made me a better person overall.
Yeah but in the olden days they were on a print ad in the back of Popular Mechanics, not the leading talk show in the nation.
People are a problem.
And the more people the more problem.
Can I look down on them with disgust instead?
If they need validation from the likes of grifters and scumbags like Andrew Tate then they are already too far gone.
He’s a fucking tool, and I have no idea why he appeals to young men. There’s so many other, manlier, kinder folks out there who can provide that same validation.
I haven’t been this shocked since I found out the original McGruff voice actor was arrested with a bunch of guns and weed plants
