DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026The thing about IShowSpeed is, like, I may not find the dude entertaining, but he's going out to places and interacting genuinely with people.

DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026The Pitt is a genuinely good show with great characters who are sometimes flawed but always entertaining. The Beast Games is a soulless shell of a drama action death game trying to be Survivor and Total Drama Island without any of the actual humanity that makes those shows fun to watch. 110 0

DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Voting takes work. It's work I believe requires community effort and communication. Paywalling political candidate information is just one of many reasons local elections see less traction. We should be putting more effort in outreach than shaming voters for their disenfranchisement. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Some choose not to. They would rather not make an uninformed decision. Some do. They vote for whoever had already been there. They got there the first time, so surely they're okay? Some do. They're the kind of model citizen you glow about. Most people aren't that. They aren't slackers either. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026It's time to vote. You couldn't get to the town hall. It's time to vote. You don't know who these people are. It's time to vote. You know #3 is okay, you think. You read it in that snippet you saw. It's time to vote. The other six offices...what about those other six? It's time to vote. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026It's not so simple to find that town hall. You have work that day. They'll have a transcript. It's behind a paywall you didn't budget for. They'll be at another event. You already planned to see two of the other 14-21 people on the list somewhere else. You finally found a photo of #7. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Unlike a presidential election, where people are talking about their differences at length, all the time, there's barely a peep about these 14 to 21 people. You see a blurb here or there. A newspaper clipping. Hell, sometimes you're lucky to find a picture of them. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026You also need to determine their backgrounds, their experience, their mental fortitude, and other baselines that are important to you. Seven offices, at least two per office...14 people at least to do evaluations for. At most, 21. And this time, you don't have the benefit of mass publicity. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Let's say you have, hmm...seven judges up for reelection in your district. And you have two to three people vying for each position. You then need to determine what their thoughts are on various political aspects, from immigration and drug laws to repeated offenders and domestic violence. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Yes, tens of people. As in, depending on the district, you can be deciding between 10 to 99 candidates. Not all for one office. It's usually maybe two to four or five for each. It adds up if you have several offices up for election. It's crucial to not undermine the amount of work that takes. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Of course presidential elections, which are widely publicized and advertised for months on end, get much more traction than local elections, which may never get even a single commercial. 000 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Not to mention, you must also: *research each candidate, which can be tens of people depending on your district *find a reliable place that states each candidate's position that isn't paywalled *ensure you have availability to vote Any one of these factors can be very limiting. 200 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026How strange, when local elections barely get publicized in my area. It takes conscious effort to recognize when they happen. 200 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I am also very much not saying one shouldn't vote, as I realize you may be implying that. Read what I've written and ask if you don't understand or have questions. 000 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026This is a very real, present, and accurate example of how, even after voting "hard enough" about something, if the person you voted for still decides that their own interests are more important than yours, your vote did not matter as much as it should have. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026You're also bringing in similar but unrelated topics. I am focused specifically on the recent twilight voting session and how Democrats, the single Independent, and Republicans all held hands to extend the mass surveillance til April 30th. 100 0
DiscoPierrot @discopierrot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026You're also talking around the point I made, which is that, even after successfully getting a person you approve of into the office desired, they are voting against your interests in favor of their own, and there does not appear to be a swift process to rebuke such actions. 100 0
