If you're seeing ads on YouTube, you're doing it wrong.

What's your evidence that Democrats "stayed home abnormally this election"?

People have been trying to move the Dems to the left for decades, and look at what we have now.

You're working from a flawed premise. Turnout for this election was high, even among Democrats. Not as high as 2020, but very high.

Turnout in 2024 was about the same as 2020. It wasn't Democrats staying home. Trump simply swayed more voters.

There's gotta be some way to blame the left for Trump winning. Look harder!

Voting in your best interests is dumb, and people should mock you for it. Got it.

Any self-respecting leftist can see that voting is a civic duty. If you can't even vote for your interests at the ballot box, you've failed democracy.

Right, because alternative candidates definitely aren't discriminated against as far as ballot access or getting into debates or...

This is why the left keeps losing. We couldn't unite behind Nader or Stein or any of our other candidates.

[–] zarkanian 6 points 2 days ago (23 children)

The problem isn't that people voted for Jill Stein. The problem is not enough people voted for Jill Stein.

The left is so broken in this country that we can't even get a candidate to 5%! And yet, we're supposed to stop Trump?

So, what are you doing?

I'm studying bash, and I came across this Stackoverflow thread which contains this bit of code:

var="abcde"
echo ${var%d*}

The output is abc, but I can't figure out why. I understand that %d is used to indicate an integer number and * represents anything, but I can't figure out why those together would truncate var to only 3 characters.
