This is framing only billionaires can buy. The problem is less this is the reality and more that the billionaires who own like 90% of the media can make people believe (including democrats like harris, because her immigration policy was not a product of donors) that there is something to this.

Democrats had some solid policies like paid family leave on the table and I just don’t think the messaging made its way to the people that needed to hear it.

because americans see voting the same as buying and endorsing a thing which is objectively wrong.

Not buying a product hurts the manufacturer.

Not voting does jack shit. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

America has powerful Karen/Kyle energy where people overreact to a slight flaw in service and this argument is the Karen/Kyle Tantrum argument over genuinely bad policies supported by Harris. They think if they take a fit this election they will be in a better spot next election. The reality is that more poeple will be homeless and out of reach. The media will be in worse shape.

Voting is always a trolley problem.

But overall I don’t think that’s the biggest group of people. The majority of people that didn’t vote I think were tuned out of the election because of ongoing failures.

this is why neurodivergence simply works in some cases. I do think ADHD is a bit of a disorder but ASD often grinds against it creating something more interesting.

wait we can’t play tuxcart anymore??? Why even use linux then???

Yeah its clearly more similar to the iron cross

this belongs in c/linuxshitpost

Turns out paving and polluting everything does a lot of damage to biodiversity.

(please support public transit and fight parking minimums.)

“I’mma need to be greedy with you because my wife is asian” AKA why capitalists will always side with racism even if its a transparent attempt to bilk people of money.

Investors and Airbnb have really undermined historical market forces here. also data pricing apps that fix prices between “competitors” should be noted here

I hear a lot of generalities here, but nothing specific.

Which “Leftists” are you talking about? What things are being “ignored” that Harris said? That the 101st is doing training exercises in the EU?

People had 4 years of Trump. He has a record, you can look at it. He’s a lying politician now who made promises and never delivered. And after that debate it looks like the media may have been trying too hard to spin his faults, as they did with Biden.

Trump is well known to lie and take every position under the sun and nearby rocks, so saying things like “Trump doesn’t want war” is basically nonsense psychic mind reading. Rather than cherry picking responses it makes more sense to look at a politician’s actions in bulk. eg “What choices do they typically make?”

He bombed Syria, helped Saudi Arabia massacre people in Yemen and bombed an Iranian government official in Iraq in hopes of starting a war with Iran. These are not the actions of an anti war candidate.

Similarly saying “peacefully” once in a speech then following it with 10-20 “fight like hells” and similar over the next 50 minutes isn’t really that convincing of an argument. If I told you to be peaceful once and told you to fight somebody 10-20 times, what would your takeaway be?

A jury convicted Trump, not E Jean Caroll. Her testimony was a piece, but again a jury takes into account things like the fact that he frequently used assaulting women in changing rooms as a routine he employed. He had statements suggesting assaulting women was just normal behavior for a celebrity.

If you want to cherry pick Trump’s history that’s fine, just know that everybody sees you lying to them and will see you as a liar.

Because the media is heavily conservative and advertising driven.

Giving republicans new things to throw at Kamala is the #1 priority of the news right now because they need a close race to sell ads.

Years of ownership by conservative billionaires and pundits has also saturated the media environment with a broad conservative tilt. This is why you don’t see a lot of articles about why like immigration went up under trump etc.

they’re waiting until after the election is my guess

TST yet again saving kids from stupid, boring shit

Many of these people overreact to good faith criticism and are narcissistic. There are some statistics that people become less self centered as they get older and incels definitely fall into that trap.

As for nazis etc, lots of that comes from like a lack of critical thinking about conspiracy theories. Its fine to think about conspiracy theories but the second you start embracing that like millions of people are conspiring against you to like stub your toe or something thats maybe the time to reign it in.

as jesus intended

Next you’re going to tell me the People’s Republic of North Korea isnt a Republic?

billionaires are so afraid of being taxed they’ll happily fund people and groups who want to kill people who want to tax them.

It should be: do you have a life? —yes (none) ---- no (all 3)

I mean he could walk in and do it himself and say he was scared. They’ve already stated they can’t prosecute him until after the election.
