The Democrats’ etc etc is yet another example of their fear of things that will lose them elections in the FPTP system. What do you want them to do, try to lose, instead? Say “yes split the vote so the other people will win and start shooting everyone’s pets on sight if they look Mexican or whatever our opponents want to do?”

Reform the voting system

If only some of the supporters of that reform were Democrats, it might be gaining traction in some places

Oh wait

It is registered as a bot and shows for me as a bot. I prefer to keep it around and heckle it as opposed to “out of sight out of mind.”

The interfaces are relatively modern too, with VGA and a PS/2 keyboard.

Every little bit helps

Also it helps that he’s going progressively off the rails as time goes on, so his reaction to getting caught for this stuff is getting less and less hinged month by month

Just thought maybe you two might know each other. Maybe you could ask him about responding to my question, and then I’ll get back to debunking your talking points? I really would like to of course but it’s bothering me that he doesn’t want to teach me about the US voting system. Makes it hard to focus on talking about a whole bunch of new topics besides the super important McDonalds’ thing we were talking about before.

Still waiting for verdantbanana to break down more about the US voting system to me

Fascinating

Some of our readers aren’t from the US - you wanna expand a little for their benefit what bipartisan things besides being a felon might randomly disqualify someone from voting? They might not be first hand familiar with it like you are.

what matters is Harris said it to show solidarity to the workers in the US to garner their votes

What a perfectly sensible reason to let Trump come to power and order the military to start shooting protestors with live ammunition

Surely, the metrics of your political decision making are totally logical

Hmmm

This is a weird framing. The story's not wrong, I am sure, but it's just sort of askew.

I will make a maybe unwarranted prediction that I will find some other curious opinions being voiced by the specific journalist who wrote this story.

Brb

Edit: I am wrong. They're just reporting from inside Ukraine stuff that is happening and so this is a relevant story.

What the fuck kind of hilarious nonsense is this

Is she planning to deploy the military against protestors and have them seize the voting machines? Or destroy the departments of Education and Labor? No? Okay, cool, she’s got my vote. Now let’s move on to talking about either (a) how to make sure she wins, or (b) how we can get better behavior out of the Democrats on Gaza and climate policy.

Get this Fox News horseshit out of here, pls and thank you

Everyone will be better off if Trump loses. Billionaires, Republicans, progressives, climate activists, Wall Street bankers, and congresspeople of every party.

Trump’s second term will be a Project 2025-enabled attempt to simply destroy the United States government and inflame a civil war in order to keep MAGA in power forever. I guess under the assumption that it’ll work smoothly and everything will continue as normal after, just with MAGA people in charge of the magically-still-working-smoothly machinery of the country?

It’s like those people who bought plane tickets to January 6th, thinking they would go there and violently overthrow the transfer of power and kill any congresspeople that stood in the way of it, and then they could go home and show up to work with Trump now in power and everything would go back to normal.

It’s naive to the point of absurd self delusion. And roughly 95% of our media and government is going along with the delusion. Anything reporting on “Trump is ahead in polls in Wisconsin” instead of “Trump wants to kill anyone who opposes him and destroy the Department of Education and deploy the military against any domestic opposition” is feeding into the comforting cognitive dissonance that things will be within the normal parameters if Trump wins and abortion or “the economy” will be on the table as issues, and not “what can we do to get water and charge my phone today” and “which side’s forces is my governor on the side of”.

Go fuck yourself

They’re not confused; they are saying she’s poor and black and belongs in fast food and Trump deserves to run the country instead. Asking the question is just a way of trying to be mean about it like a bunch of high school girls in the lunchroom.

Dude why on earth would you

Every time I visit Twitter I feel a strong desire to watch the video or whatever I came for and get the fuck out of there.

It is impossible to look over someone’s profile; as far as I can tell I get it sorted in “random bullshit from 2018” order and there is no way to change it

It had weird pop ups that mean nothing. Sign up with Google! Sign up with Apple! Once you join X, you can respond which means you’re allowed to read the comments! Here is someone who thinks Covid isn’t real!

It feels like going to some kind of sketchy site to download the pirated software I am looking for and get the fuck out before something happens to my computer

?

I think you may be thinking of a different scandal; this one’s victim was a girl named Cindy.

Yes, I'm aware. Can I help you with anything else?

Oh, I’m aware that the army for some fuckin reason decided to let it slide. I’m saying that THAT, you can get mad at (or at the federal prosecutors in VA who aren’t working on a grand jury right now). Not the totally powerless person who has no ability to do anything but invite retribution to herself and her family.

Yeah, you’re right. It looks like there’s a consensus now that the population in the Gulag was way lower than I thought. Fair play. There’s also a chart year by year, in the “history” section, which I missed.

If it was 2.4 million in 1953, out of total population of 179 million, that’s 1,340 in detention per 100k. The modern US is only 40% as bad as the literal Gulag at its peak. Fuckin hooray.

When they start coming out with shit like "flip flopper" and it starts getting repeated from a few different quarters as a consistent attack

That's when you know they don't have all that much to work with and they're just making shit up that sounds bad

Not covered in this story: The church leadership says hey he told us about it but we thought it was with a “young lady” and whatevs it was all cool, we’re as shocked as you are it is horrible

The victim says what the fuck I have been telling them about it FOR YEARS NOW
