Useless at preventing fascism... So decided to sit it out and give DT another go. Bold strategy. Let's see how it works out.

I think a lot of Americans don't understand that the USA hedgemony isn't a divine right, it was a deliberate construction with tacit agreement of convenience from the western world.

Much like an economy, belief makes it so.

Much like the UK's arrogance has driven them into geopolitical obscurity, so will the USA's.

In 15 years, Americans are going to wake up and realize that their voices are irrelevant in the world. I don't know how y'all are going to handle it.

100 million people even getting involved twice every four years (once for the primaries and once for the election) they could literally put anyone they wanted with any policy into the white house.

Pretending voting fixes issues? My brother in Christ you guys couldn't be bothered to vote! Trump lost ground in terms of absolute number of votes. Fewer people voted for him in 2024 than did in 2020.

Like jfc imagine saying voting doesn't fix things 2 days after an election where you forgot to vote.

During the debate, he specifically said he'd settle it before he was president. On the first day of being present elect, if I recall.

Greetings, friends. Do you wish to look as happy as me? Well, you've got the power inside you right now. So, use it, and send one dollar to Happy Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield. Don't delay, eternal happiness is just a dollar away.

They are saying:"The idea that the Harris campaign didn't pledge enough support to Israel as a justification for her loss is equally as insane as a typical qanon conspiracy theory"

I am on your side, and you are being vicious.

Asking you to treat me with respect isn't tone policing, it's basic human decency, and I believe you understand that.

If you have an concrete alternative interpretation I'm all ears. Are numerically fewer votes for Trump in 2024 an indication of growing support, and if so, how do you figure that?

Again, we're aligned, but you're lashing out at me out of frustration and anger and I expect you to be better.

If you want to engage in an adult discussion we can do that. I'm empathetic to your pain right now, but take a deep breath before you respond consider carefully if you're in a place to do so as your best self. Doesn't have to be today if you're not. Hit me up in a week. A month. A year. I'm here whenever you want a sober sounding board.

I'm not saying that she desereved the votes.

The comment I was responding to said the electorate swung right. I'm saying that's not what the numbers say.

The numbers say that the Dems didn't show up to the polls. It's absolutely the fault of the democratic party leadership: if you can't convince people to show up, your offering is insufficient.

So, I actually agree with you, and the point I was making was at a seperate point somebody else made.

I know you're hurting today but get ahold of yourself. Read and think before you rage at strangers on the internet.

 

I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
