Hasan should look for funding to start a new platform that’s invite only.

Hell yeah, it’s 2005 again.

0% chance this happens but it would be cool.

At least crypto wasn’t this annoying. You could just point and laugh from the outside. AI is being shoved into everything and makes anything it touches significantly worse.

He’s been here the whole time

This slaps. The difference between the candidates is pure vibes at this point. They might as well settle it with a dance-off.

I think a lot of it is people wanting to believe otherwise. I noticed this in myself when the Walz picked was announced and there was this initial surge of enthusiasm. Democrats were doing this “Republicans are weird” bit that worked hilariously well and Walz had a record of progressive policies in his state.

I live in Germany so US politics doesn’t affect me as directly as it does Americans, but the tiny part in me that still holds on to naive, liberal ideas saw that and was like “Hey, maybe the West’s descent into fascism will finally stop now and we can all go back to brunch! Wouldn’t that be lovely? Wouldn’t it be just lovely if the good guys took charge and you wouldn’t have to worry about all the horrible things in the world anymore? Wouldn’t it be nice to feel hope again after a year of unprecedented despair?”

Personally I was way too jaded and disillusioned to truly buy into that, but I could tell that I wanted to believe.

I remember when a poll showed “Generic unnamed Democrat” polling 8% better than Biden in some places. It was clear as day that voters wanted literally anything but Biden. When Biden dropped out people thought they’d be getting their wish, but every day since then, Kamala just keeps telling us that she’s gonna continue exactly what Biden did.

There are a bunch of “moderate” Republicans that don’t like Trump because he’s an incompetent clown, they would rather have a competent fascist in power, I suppose that’s who Kamala is trying to appeal to. But if you ask me, the moderate Republicans will still vote Trump for the party behind him. The Dems have people like Warren and Bernie in their party who might do something pro-labor once in 4 years, so just vote NSDAP no matter who.

If you kill a soldier’s family, all you do is create a soldier with nothing you lose.

Walz originally sold himself as a progressive but because both campaigns are going full Hitler, Vance was at an advantage. There’s no way for Walz to argue his policies without greatly alienating the same base he originally energized.

Yeah, seems correct but just oddly phrased.

I think people no longer have the same expectations for the government to help them. The US government has told the public to go fuck themselves at every possible opportunity.

he made the claim up that it was staged?

So was that coup attempt staged or not

Israel has the highest approval rating among AfD voters out of any German party. Nazis recognize Nazis.

“Democracy” literally just means “Western” or “Western ally”. It does not matter in the slightest whether a country has free elections, a country which is a Western ally will be called a democracy and one which isn’t, won’t. The word is completely meaningless when used by Western government officials.

SPD is eating shit but the CDU will come out ahead.
