you realize places without elections still have them, they just mean nothing right?

he doesnt even have to touch the military, just has to certify fraudulent voter slates, that's it.

trump just barely failed to steal it last time, this time he has the fucking supervillain crackpot team behind him.

If he wants to do it, all he has to do is make the call.

He has the executive, he has the house, he has the senate, he will most likely completely have the supreme court, there is literally nobody to tell him no anymore.

anywhere from not really, to literally world war 3.

trump is a loose cannon.

We do not win here.

Democrats are completely out of touch. them expecting voters putting other issues on top of them making ends meets and food on the table

the economy is literally the strongest it's been in a while, inflation rates are down, sure prices are still high but we're literally at the tail end of the fucking tunnel here.

God i wish people would stop voting on schizoprehnia economics, it's so stupid.

oh good, it's hasan, my favorite (not terroristic propaganda spreading) "political" commentator

Which of those projects will be ready by the time China invades Taiwan in early 2025? And how will those factories absorb all the global orders for chips when they’re not ready?

for one, there's no guarantee. Trump should want to protect taiwan, as it's a strategically convenient point of interest.

You are agreeing with me. Fabs are hard. Our people are stupid.

well sort of, your argument is "well its hard and difficult so why should we ever try" my argument is "doing literally anything at all is going to be a better move."

Their people are smart. If their people are tied up in a war and dying, and their fabs are destroyed, and our fabs are half built

yeah idk i think they would probably move to the US. The place where they are most likely to be able to fabricate again.

you are unironically concern trolling with this post.

there are two big arguments for a denser layout, notably you move your hands less, which means you can type faster, statistically speaking. It makes it easier. Generally you see typing speed track roughly with this over time.

And since you move your hands less, it's ergonomically better for typing, so you get less strain, you have better ergonomics in general, you can type longer, and even faster since there is less strain.

Different layouts optimize for different things, some optimize for efficient roll combinations, some optimize for switching between hands as optimally as possible. Some don't really do any of that (qwerty) which also have a significant impact on typing.

nice shitpost homie, maybe if you had some reading comprehension you would be able to understand the intellectual argument here.

"NUH UH UR WRONG L TAKE DUMBASS" this is literally you right now.

that's only true if you're a trump supporter, it's absolutely true if you're not. There are most definitely concerns to be had, as there always are, but globalism is fundamentally good for the economy. There is no world in which this isn't true, so you should push towards globalism, even if there is some risk, because it will likely stabilize relations significantly.

When did voting become mandatory?

i didn't say it did.

Fact of the matter is, if you don't exercise your vote, and the result is worse, you exercised your vote badly. There is no difference between not voting, and having a bad outcome, and voting (for the wrong thing) and having a bad outcome. They are the same.

It is not anyone’s “job” to vote any specific way, this is the entitlement Democratic voters need to get over.

i don't disagree, and in fact, i agree, this is an entitlement that democrats need to get over, because if they did get over it, we would start fucking winning. The republicans are literally an abusive partner right now, and we're just sitting here like "well maybe if i close my eyes he won't hit me" and then being really fucking confused when it doesn't do anything.

As a party, we're literally cannibalizing ourselves over this issue. It's not that deep, just vote for the least bad candidate, and get over it, go do local political lobbying, go vote in primaries, go vote in local elections, whatever the fuck, nobody cares, just do something

She did try to win over Republican voters instead of her own, though. 94% of them voted Republican anyway, just like they did in 2020.

she didn't try to win over republican voters, she tried to win over moderate voters. I would say it worked to some degree. But obviously since we got like a 50% turnout, it's really hard to say if anything worked, and frankly, i think the democratic institution is failing right now. If we don't get up and do something about it in the next 4 years, the republicans are going to run uncontested.

it's funny that the image says moderate republicans, and while that's partially true, it's also pushing for support from the moderate left. Which is the vast majority of the party. She was also appealing to the moderate left (most of the dem party)

Damn, those are all great policy ideas that the Democrats could run on, or even implement, since they have been outwardly more supportive of people voting. Funny that they haven’t done that in the last couple decades…

maybe they should, but in defense of them, running on voting policy, in a federal election is pretty fucking silly. You can't really do much about it on a federal level.

It’s almost like the Dems don’t want that roughly 60% of people who don’t vote to start voting. Wonder why that is…

so they can lose repeatedly to the republican party? ok.

 

i regret to inform you that you have probably created one of the more interesting communities to me, and i will almost certainly be back. I have a lot of thoughts in regards to living life to a productively healthy state. anyway, for the first post, since it's late and i have things to be doing, I'll be keeping this short.

I believe that in order to mutually benefit other people in a positive manner, I.E. positively impact others lives. That you must be happy and fulfilled yourself, much like maslows hierarchy of needs. You must first be content and happy with your life, before you can extend it to other people.

Tonight's message is that indulging in selfish behaviors can be productive, you just need to know when to apply them.

Too much of society is focused on how you can benefit others, or be collectively productive for society, rather than allowing you to grow as an individual. Which often times benefits society greatly.
