@mandarvaze if you just want to use the app (like drinking #Amul milk), you don't need to be a member.

But if you become a member, you share the ownership of the app and can vote to elect people who will govern the app - like deciding its #privacyPolicy or hiring developers to build features in the app.

You can also get elected to the leadership. The app will be run #democratically by its members.

This may look strange to you, but made possible by #FreeSoftware.

#Americans still believe that
because they #democratically #voted
to put that pervert piece of shit #Trump
and the dickheads who support him
in power
they can also vote to take power away from him

it doesn't work like that

to 'democratically vote' first you need a Democratic Government (that no longer exists)
respects to the 'right to vote' (that is not respected)
ensures for honest elections
(which are not assured)
so
the 'democratic 'I vote you out''
is not really a 'thing' in Trumplandia

#DictatorDon is going hog-wild in DC sending Armed Troops into the streets of a major American city (using false claims of rampant crime as justification) b/c he has unfettered control of #DC.

PAY ATTENTION, b/c this is what he'd do in EVERY #Democratically controlled city if he could (and his SCotUS & lapdog #GOP #Congress would happily give him the power to do.)

🧵(5/12) The economy Obama inherited from Bush continued to crash and by November 2009, #Unemployment hit 9.9%.

#Obama & the #Democratically controlled Congress passed the "Nat'l Recovery act", which poured 3/4 of a Trillion dollars into the economy and unemployment finally started to fall.

By the time Obama left office in 2017, unemployment was back down to just 4.5%.

Hillary, who ran against Obama in 2008, was the presumed Dem frontrunner as VP #Biden deferred following the death of his son.

1953: Iran

"After the United States established the CIA in 1947, it began to use the agency to #overthrow or prop up foreign governments in a much more covert way. Before WWII, the United States didn’t try to hide its interventions in foreign governments. But with the onset of the Cold War, the United States became much more concerned about hiding its actions from the Soviet Union, Kinzer says.

"'In the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War, it was a priority for President Eisenhower and [Director of Central Intelligence] Allen Dulles to assure that America always had #PlausibleDeniability,' he says. 'Eisenhower was probably the last president who believed that you could do these things and nobody would ever find out.'

"In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup of Iran’s #democratically elected prime minister, #MohammadMosaddegh, in order to consolidate power with Iran’s shah (or king), #MohammadRezaPahlavi. Declassified CIA documents claim the coup—known internally as Operation Ajax—was designed to prevent possible 'Soviet aggression
in Iran, but Iranian-American historian Ervand Abrahamian has argued the real motivation had more to do with securing U.S. #oil interests."

"In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup of Iran’s #democratically elected prime minister, #MohammadMosaddegh, in order to consolidate power with Iran’s shah (or king), #MohammadRezaPahlavi.
