Roughly half of the population has absolutely no clue what’s going on. Kids, old people, non-news-readers/viewers, etc.
A third of the population is vaguely aware that some shit is going down based on vibes but can’t identify the problem.
Half the remaining sixth can identify the problem as political but misattribute the cause. Leaving just a 12th of the population actually aware of our situation.
He’s too busy encouraging concerned parents in Texas to give their kids liver damage.
It died when she tried tried appealing to “moderate republicans” instead of democrats.
Why would they let us do that when those same do-nothing centrists get to decide who’s allowed to run in the primary?
Why would you deliberately crowdfund national propaganda?
Cool. Wake me up when Trump and Elon start caring about behaving lawfully.
What backlash? All I see is Republicans making a mountain out of a molehill.
I used to work for HostGator and sadly that sounds about right. They started going downhill fast after the second buyout.
Didn’t he go fash?
They’ve always been sham elections, they’re just pulling down the curtains that kept most folks believing in the lie.
Short version: forces applied to solid objects move at the speed of sound in that object.
Lets say your stick is made of steel. The speed of sound in steel is about 19,000 feet/second. Assuming you could push hard enough for the force to be felt on the other end, it’d take over 18 hours for your partner on Earth to feel your push from the moon.
The single most domesticated culture on the planet…
That is a very difficult argument to make convincingly when we just had an election where the incumbent was forced off the ballot mere weeks from election day and their replacement might have won if she’d been allowed to be a “hope and change” candidate instead of promising to preserve her predecessor’s status quo.
You can’t dismantle the DNC and put forward a replacement leading candidate in the fall of an election year.
Of course you can. Only the USA has a 2-year election season, every other developed country on the planet does their elections in a matter of weeks.
The discussion on “hold your nose and vote for Harris, to keep trump out” has an unsaid (but often completely said) primer clause of “the DNC is shit and must change, it’s a priority of 2025 and beyond.”
I haven’t seen one Harris voter claiming they were stoked about her or the DNC.
Sounds to me like you should be begging forgiveness from the voters for holding their nose and making the election as close as it was.
Trump IS a moral dilemma
Trump is a consequence of the Democrats’ failure to live up to their own name. Bernie would have won in 2016 if the party leadership didn’t deliberately shut him out to run “She whose turn it was”.
, and given one vote, and no time to change things, the only option is to reduce harm. THEN build a better future.
Cool. So, now that we’re past that point, can we please stop playing the blame game and focus our attention on the “building a better future” part?
That’s the problem with treating an election like a moral dilemma, this perspective forces you to take the party itself for granted.
You sat and watched as the Democrats set up a Trolley Problem, but you’re blaming the people they put at the switch rather than they who tied us to the tracks in the first place.
You ought to be blaming the Democrats for pushing another status quo candidate without even running a primary.
The voters aren’t responsible for the uninspiring candidate they were offered, and the Democrats are too busy projecting their failure on their constituents to take responsibility and make changes to prevent it from happening again.
What primaries? The Democrats don’t hold those anymore.
Blaming the voters for the absense of an anti-genocide candidate seems really productive. Maybe if we keep re-litigating the election for the next four years the Democrats will run Hillary again. /s
The free options will still be there. Banning a few pirate sites will make it less convenient for streamers, but bittorrent isn’t dependent on those sites and tools like Tribler can find them straight off the DHT.
They are unreachable. This is the most heavily propagandized country on the planet and most don’t have the education to understand our political situation. Try and explain why corporate campaign financing is a bad idea and half of us start whinging about freedom of speech.
