It’s not exactly “us.” We don’t determine whether Kamala runs with an asinine message like “we’re going to hire Republicans” or “I wouldn’t do anything different than Biden.”
That’s her stupidity and I think why so many people sat out the election. As the articles are pointing out, the people that sat out the election were in “safe” states, so they were completely uninspired to vote but knew not voting wouldn’t have affected the outcome (except locally which is still stupid.)
Yuppp but this time we’re going into it with the ostrich administration. They’ll put their heads in the sand and gaslight the population saying it’s all a conspiracy to make them look bad and it’s not real.
Or “even worse” they’ll say “for the sake of the economy we need sacrifices. If you die you died for your country but no, as RFK Jr has decided, you may not have a vaccine.”
New Amex Babycard Gold™ 0% for the first 6 months after birth!
*Terms and conditions apply, APR of 69420% starting on month 7 and subject to change if I fuckin feel like it.
I did, but I don’t care anymore.
…I’ll see myself out. :P
In all seriousness I just don’t know if I have it in me to keep paying attention to a trainwreck that I have no control over. I can only help my local community in some limited manner, anything outside of that all I can do is vote and yell at a “representative” that is bribed to not listen.
And will anyone sue Fox other than some private business?
Nope. Democrats will just sit back and let Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the like all go and call them communist scum that want to kill babies and destroy everything.
It’s so aggravating.
Touching NASA very well might be the thing that finally pushes me to actual violence.
Scientific endeavors, but specifically research and exploration of space are pretty much the only things in life I really have a passion for.
I appreciate the kind words! Empathy is proving to be increasingly more rare in society so I appreciate you wanting to express that.
That in pretty much every single sense of the word I’m an absolutely pathetic loser.
I didn’t think I’d ever be anything special, but I also didn’t think I’d be 38 and single for going on a decade, living in someone else’s garage, working in a factory in a dead end position with no degree and not an ounce of self worth to even presume to choose a direction.
10 year old me couldn’t wait to be an adult, but after seeing me I think 10 year old me would never want to grow up knowing what I’d eventually become lol
“government should do more to solve problems”
Republicans: No.
Wtf is government for?
“The criminal justice system isn’t tough enough on criminals”
Republicans: YES
…oh
Man it’s weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams “funny feeling” this morning and he has a line about “Robert (Bob) Igers face” and I thought hmm I actually don’t get that, I don’t know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol
It was just meant to be a joke not some serious documentation of information meant to be spread as absolute fact. We’re in a comics group at the moment lol
“He’s got that totally awesome plan called Tarrifs™ that is supposed to make rainbows and sunshine come pouring out of my ass and we’ll all be happy again!”
…oh… Wait…
Oh God yeah… I only recently learned that apparently I’m a white Steve Urkel…
Ugly and with a voice like that. It was when I realized that, I realized God is real and he’s an absolute son of a bitch lol
It’s why I have next to no pictures of myself. I could never take selfies because I hate seeing myself lol
Tariffs are taxes, but they’re taxes for companies not individuals, and they’re only applied to importing, so they won’t affect me.
Typical Magoo (literally my dad in 2016): “you can’t tax business owners, they’re going to just make everything more expensive for us! They pass on the burden to us!”
Also Magoo: “Yay tarrifs! They are a tax on business but that won’t get passed on to me!”
The Magoo motto: Whatever words I need to use to suit my purpose I will use, to hell with reality.
It’s wild how some people’s fear is another person’s desire! All I want is to be completely forgotten and to disappear lol
Seems like a potential win for the likes of Americas adversaries… Useful idiot does useful idiot stuff…
Bet the “art of the deal” douche isn’t even getting anything from them, he’s just doing the “I want the types of generals Hitler had” thing for himself…
“or even dismiss the charges altogether.”
I’m going with that one. The only justice in America is injustice.
Trump just got reelected. America forgot about Trump’s first term…
It’s absolute insanity…
