lol. Ok. love the downvotes. The Dems have learned nothing since 2016. Blaming the voters for not cosigning piss poor policy and unpopular decisions, while gaslighting thr working class about all time economic highs based on shit like stock prices and CPI when the latter number intentionally neglects to measure housing, food, or energy costs. You know, the things that make up the majority of expenditures for the class of people who overwhelmingly swung towards Trump.

Go ahead. Call me a deplorable. I’ll be volunteering in the refugee camps like I have been since 2017. Will you? Or will you continue to attack marginalized people for pulling the only lever they have?

God knows the 2nd option hasn’t worked and lost the Dems north of 60% of all Latino voters. But surely it’s hundreds of millions of people that are wrong about feeling trapped by an economic system designed to turn their bodies into profit for billionaires.

I found this video to be very helpful for understanding what happened last week even though it predates the election by some years.

I do not think he changed his stance, but I’m not sure how it’s relevant to the election.

The number of pro Palestinian people was a statistical blip outside of Michigan and certainly did not change the election.

I really hope the Dems reflect on why AOC was re elected in a district that swung heavily towards Trump instead of doubling down on their clear and tangible resentment of working class people.

Mike Huckabee is detestable, but that doesn’t make the current policies better. When it comes to genocide, splitting hairs misses the point.

a variety of independent news sources.

Wikipedia is notoriously susceptible to bias when it comes to history and politics and has a noted left center bias (according to researchers at Harvard, not my words).

I’m not saying it’s a terrible sources but it definitely should not be the last stop and anything controversial (or the lack thereof) isn’t a meaningful indicator of whether or not something is actually true. Note the numerous examples of historical revisionism in the linked article.

You can install Plex on your mobile device and toggle the “share media from this device” setting. Otherwise, a steam deck would have everything an RPI has plus a GPU and a touch screen. Since there are two radios (2 and 5Ghz) on the device, you should be able to set it up as a bridge device, but I’ve not tried this personally.

and what is “what they asked for”

I’m definitely not confused. Perhaps we have irreconcilable philosophical differences, but I’m certainly not confused by percentages.

Personally, I would a 30% voter turnout as a damning indictment of the system, particularly when Switzerland was one of the last countries in Europe to legalize women’s right to vote and the right to gay marriage.

For most of the US’s history, most people were simply not allowed to participate in that system and twice this century the winner lost the popular vote. How is it do hard to believe that someone would feel legitimately disenfranchised and frustrated by that system?

“both sides bad” has won almost every US election, according to this chart.

It’s literally the most popular position when you consider voter turnout and % of votes for each main party.

Wild that you’re getting down voted for wanting to comply with international humanitarian law.

Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1]

no, no. I promise you that it’s delicious. it’s like biting into a ball of miso.
