The people don't want any more of the status quo, and Trump offered something that wasn't part of the status quo. The democrats could have offered a left-wing populist alternative but instead the democrats ran someone who was status quo. Someone who was "far left" would have been way more successful than Harris.

That's just what they want you to do. It's much better to take this opportunity to fight the fascists.

White women as a majority still voted for Trump. Why just blame men?

It means he's an idiot who wants to convince other idiots that this will mean less taxes for them, while it just means that poor people will be taking up the tax burden while the rich get away without paying anything.

Literally everyone agrees that more housing should be built and it shouldn't be too hard to do so (just don't sacrifice safety standards). However, simply building more housing isn't enough. A lot of the housing built nowadays are built for the rich while there aren't many small starter-homes being built. We need to do so much more than just building more homes, or else we risk the rich just buying them all up again.

They're pushing AI so hard but most people just see it as a gimmicky thing. The only people who care are the investors.

If I was in a swing state then I would vote for Harris to prevent Trump from getting in, but I'm not in a swing state so I'm going to vote for a candidate that I actually like.

Since my state (California) would never turn red, the best thing I can do in my vote is to help my actual preferred candidate get access to campaign funds.

But again, I do think those in swing states should do whatever they can to prevent Trump from getting in.

If you delete your account (or get banned) on one instance (such as .ml), does it affect the other instance, such as .world?

I've been trying to find the original study from Circana but all I can find are mentions of it, does anyone have the link to it?
