Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.
You keep saying it every day to people who upvote you at a 100% rate. I don’t think your message is ever received by anyone who disagrees. My question is what’s the point? This is a waste of electricity.
p.s. also all trump supporters are quickly banned on lemmy
And you go down the thread posting shit like this. That’s also a waste of electricity. I guess humans are just wasteful. 🤷
The person you responded to has added absolutely nothing. A waste of time really.
To me seems like there’s a potential of a discourse of some sort. Certainly the freshest opinion in the entire post.
Weird to see a website actually uphold it’s rules on transphobia, homophobia, misinformation, and not being a fascist fuckface, huh?
To me seems like you’re mainly interested in shushing your political opponents.
From the overall sentiment, your only option, really, is to either imprison 40% of your population, if you’d eventually instate the same laws but on the national level instead of lemmy, or to solve matters in a civil war.
I’d, frankly, would be very worried if I were you, and I’d spend my days trying to figure out a solution.
You spend your days meeting the same people, going in a circle one-by-one, everyone in their turn says “trump bad” and the rest nods. Kind of an emotional support group.
Way to out yourself as a piece of shit fascist! If you don’t agree that banning transphobes, homophobes, and literal traitors to our democracy is a good thing, fuck off!
Lol, Imagine actually thinking they have 40% of the general populations support. If it wasn’t for gerrymandering the GOP wouldn’t win shit here
No, we comment on a forum about it. New to the internet?
Explain these numbers to me please: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president.html
Because, what I see, is that, ignoring your stupid broken democracy, we still got like a 46/49 split (5% undecided?)
So, are you delusional, or are you delusional?
I’m not going to explain basic political theory to you, especially when I saw someone else already explain this to you
If you’re too thick to understand polls, how they’re conducted, and what they represent: that’s on you and the school system that failed you
I am sure I am the only one so far who used a “3-sigma-improbable”.
Everyone else kept talking about electoral college, which means nothing in the context of a popular vote poll.
To me it seems like you choose to ignore facts.
Compared to you, I do understand a lot about polls, population samples, sampling methodologies, importance weighting, confidence intervals, and other related stuff. On a level way above high school.
And I think it’s interesting that you likely talk in the same tone to all your political opponents while insinuating its their lack of education that is the problem. And, it does correlate. Your political opponents on average are less educated than your political supporters. And so, you using that when clearly misrepresenting the facts surely makes them feel like listening to your arguments and carefully considering them. After all, they come from someone better educated than them, yeah?
Only when someone says blatantly wrong and/or stupid shit, like you
Objectively, scientifically, we know that’s not what happens. I do it because you asswipes don’t deserve even the respect of basic human interaction until you accept basic human rights as such, and it’s funny to see you rage online
Oh yeah? Well my level of understanding is above college so nyeh, I win. I can tell you’re full of shit from the smell of what’s coming out
Look, you can’t even make a simple logical conjecture. Each of your messages has shown an utter inability of using simple first-order logic. And yet you claim to have a graduate degree in a math-related subject? Tell me more about the smell of what’s coming out.
Yes, yes, once you come to power and become a benevolent dictator, you will purge like half of your countrymen in the name of the greater good and kindness.
Homie so stupid he thinks that banning someone on a platform which one can freely join under a new name is in any way the same as the ethnic cleansing they want
Took you forever to reply, then 2 separate replies to the same post imin rapid succession? Mods, make it permanent next time so they can see the harder
I say it to people who are trying to understand why Trump has a following. It’s not because he’s smart or a great businessman.
It’s because he’s racist. I love Jon Stewart but his message of trying to help liberals understand Trump’s acolytes misses the mark.
We don’t need to spend more time debating why people like him.
People like Trump because, and I say this again for people who missed it the first time, he is a fucking racist.
What do you do in a democracy where say, for the sake of the argument, exactly 50% of your population is racist?
As in, 50% of your population believes skin color does not matter, the other 50% believe if you’re darker than a certain shade, your brain is that of a baboon, and as an unsuitable human being you should be kept outside of the country borders.
What do you do?
Now, you’re in the same situation, but the split is 60/40. Will you use your majority power to exterminate the other 40?
So far all you do is gather on some corner of the internet and cry in each others shoulder. Every fuckin day. On every fuckin sub.
This platform was created as some “Fediverse”. Something big and all-encompassing. Flying above individual organizations, nations, languages, etc. But all it is atm is an emotional support corner for the non-racist americans.
Tell me you don’t understand how Lemmy works without telling me you don’t understand how Lemmy works.
I’m literally banned for shitposting trump support messages. I have cold hard evidence.
I can literally see your posts right now.
You haven’t been banned.
oh, yes, i have. On the shitposting community out of all places.
Is this true? I lean more conservative and will probably vote for Trump. If saying that gets me banned, that’s crazy but I doubt I would. I’ve followed the rules here
You mean you stated a personal opinion in good faith without arguing, misrepresenting, or just making things up? How dare you?
