Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Like holy shit, I told everyone who asked that Trump would probably win, and I spent 0 minutes looking into the issue. Imagine this is your main job, you're a grown ass adult, and you're still doing idealism so hard.

Does this mean you're going to start being a LIB influencer?

I once told Vaush he should stop attacking tankies because it was going to end very badly for him.

He essentially told me to fuck off. We made enough_vaush_spam and all the anti-vaush bots the following week then put the work in to spread them around, the subreddit blew up very fast because people in the real left were really really eager to fuck him over.

That was stupid, but it pales in comparison to how stupid it was of him to show his pedo lolicon folder on stream. We could never hope to damage him as much as he damages himself.

That was the last sub I really participated in before I left reddit. One of his cultists got big mad and would follow me around to different threads to try and water down "You know he threatened to SA someone who he said looked like a loli right?"

The Majority Report really got it wrong. I like those libs, but damn did they lib out hard this time.

Michael would have been saying Trump is going to win lol RIP

I think she sweeps all swing states. All seven.

I understand a lot of points in general overestimation of how the election would go. 2022 midterms suggested abortion could drive more dem turnout in particular. So i get expecting it to be close, and thinking dems had a chance. But damn that prediction! Pure wish casting. Emma was coconut pilled hard

What I've learned from this election is that reading polls makes you worse at predicting election results

The weird thing is that all the liberals in question were reading the polls and explaining why they think the polls were wrong.

I misread the data and it says we have to be more racist to win: praise the infallible data!

I correctly read the data and it says we're losing: the data is wrong!

Something something paid to not understand, etc.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

This liberal in a politics chat I'm in kept copium posting in the weeks up to the election. Polls kept coming out confirming that the republicans had the upper hand. He dismissed them all as "fake polls put out by republicans to make themselves look better". Bro was just living in a totally separate reality.

[–] Imnecomrade@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The same goes for the previous elections. The most important elections of all time have very predictable outcomes at this point.

It did seem like Harris was going to win early on in her campaign, around when she picked Tim Walz and seemed like she was trying to make a leftward turn.
