If that were all she had to offer, then you’d be right. If, however, purely hypothetically, she offered to actively combat price-gouging, for example, that would benefit the vast majority of people at the cost of the usurers’ theft profits, which should net her the support of the vast majority of the electorate. Only one example out of many, which Fox will duly be silent about while focusing on HER ONLY BEING A DEI HIRE DO NOT TAKE IN ANY OTHER INFORMATION KEEP PARROTING THE DEI HIRE TALKING POINT FORGET ABOUT ANYTHING SHE ACTUALLY SAYS OR STATES ON HER POLICIES! DEI HIRE! DEI HIRE! DEI HIRE!

Did you watch the permanent 24 hours news cycle where they painted her as a radical lunatic marxist stupid DEI hire out to destroy the country and take away everyone’s everything too? It is hard to overstate how crazy out there their propaganda is.

Everybody calm down!

What are a few decimated scapegoat minorities and a strip-mined ruin of a planet as long as the economy is fine, eh? I repeat: The ultra rich oligarchs’ unlimited access to regular people’s money is not in danger. In fact, the rich will probably be allowed to drain every last drop out of their victims now even more than ever during this administration. Time to rejoice! For some anyway!

You seem to be wrong. Donald Trump didn’t demand better and he didn’t lose. The more pro-genocide party objectively won.

But then the poor would run the country instead of a handful of unimaginably rich individuals! What kind of democracy would THAT be?

Remind me again who made the decision to go down this path as a country? I have 76 394 853 suggestions.

But there are easy solutions for these problems now getting to the point where shit will hit the fan uninterruptedly and overwhelmingly: blame the Democrats.

There. Problems solved :D

Oklahoma has much bigger numbers in the rankings there. USA! USA!

Yes, I hope you can take this time to internalize a lesson: you should not support genocide or genociders.

Sorry, what exactly is the lesson to be learned from this election, in which the candidate who more vocally supports the genocide won? As in, showing more support for the genociding party and demonstratively siding in all points with the genociders with not even rhetorical pushback, just pure endorsement of the genocide? Which lesson will analysing this election yield again?

The caricature of her that Fox&co-conspirators presented was certainly terrible.

But EA clearly know how to rake in money with the yearly version of SportsGame 2021 2022 2023 2024. They are expected to make just as much cash by releasing the exact same movie every year. Who knows, maybe they’ll add microtransactions.

Technically, the US also has protections against wannabe dictators claiming they are above the law: a supreme court which, were it not undermined by that dictator’s toadies, should shut that shit down in a second. Still, there’s a difference between blindly following everything that court makes up out of thin air and supporting the actual rule of law. Same with democracy.

Being called socialist isn’t even the issue. My point is that a news monolith has spent decades radicalising half the country and at this point there are enough cultists that will mercilessly tear down anybody Fox&Co paint a target on. Until there is a solid defense against such a hate machine, no party will flourish on its merits as long as Fox-drilled stooges will only be fed a caricature of any opposition Fox designates as the enemy. Even your perfect ideal candidate would lose the election. The boogeyman Fox would paint them to be would be so repulsive and half the country would never even hear their ideas anyway, except what skewed perspective Fox would blast the viewers with 24/7.

Counterpoint: anybody not cheering for Fox News’ talking points sufficiently enthusiastically is declared “socialist” and all but suggested as target for public lynching (or in some cases actually the target of a lynch mob storming the capitol) and the masses have been drilled into going berserk at hearing the right keywords, regardless of what happens in reality.

Calling an attempt to break this information monopoly over half the nation an uphill battle is the epitome of understatement.

Countdown until it turns out that everybody associated with any competition to Musk’s companies just so happens to be a criminal Trump siccs his DOJ after: 5… 4…

The Onion writers: “Let’s go with this one, the real picks are too over the top.”

No opinion on the matter at hand, I’m just throwing out there that saving a woman’s life when she’s bleeding out due to lethal complications in her pregnancy is illegal until the last second in many states (let’s see how Project 2025 will impact that in the future). Appointing the kind of special counsel that has been perfectly normal and legal since like forever? Illegal the moment he investigates Trump. Doing crimes? Illegal. Doing crimes as president? Immune, according to Trump’s Supreme court sock puppets…

What’s legal and illegal only depends on how many judges you’ve bought these days.

PS: Oh and all that brazen bribery shit that would get any other official not just fired, but straight up locked up? Perfectly legal but only if you’re a Supreme Court judge. Guess who got to decide that? Go have a cookie if your guess was the very people accepting the bribes.

Also having been born into generational wealth and exploiting the finance system - that’s the most famous rich-people-hobby.

Opposing price gouging alone would be a step that aims to prevent corporations from conspiring to drive costs up at will for everybody who doesn’t profit off price-gouging. Compare and contrast that to Trump’s biggest achievements, massive tax cuts for the ultra-rich and getting his cronies the commission to build a tiny fragment of a wall that Mexico yet has to pay for, and everybody who’s not rich enough to own a TV station should be on her side.
