Cannibal. To be a vampire requires her to be a mutated/magical type of chocolate, doesn't it? There's more to being a vampire than drinking blood.

A word for word translation of the french title would be "the beautiful chocolate maker/seller". Not calling her a chocolate. (Also, I'm assuming that's hot chocolate that she's carrying)

Well, sure, but Israel is literally surrounded by enemies. It doesn't seem like it because of big daddy USA. But without them they could easily team up and attack from multiple sides. Especially if they get backing from Russia/China/UAE .

I dunno, just spitballing here, I'm no expert

Oh, yeah, definitely. I think everyone's got their share of the blame. The whole thing is fucked.

Ok, I didn't look at the states that Harris won, because that would've taken longer and complicated things.

Only looked at states that trump won.

Interesting fact: if you strategically place 12 million more votes, you can win literally every single state and secure all votes.

Most fun way to win (imo): 1.5 million in Texas for 40 votes and then another 1.5 million in Florida for another 30.

Most efficient points/voter states:

Michigan needed 80k for 15 votes

Georgia needed 120k for 16

Pennsylvania needed 145k for 19

And Nevada needed 52k for 6

For a grand total of 400k you'd get 56 votes that could've taken Harris from 226 to 282 and would've secured the win.

Other close calls:

North Carolina needed 200k for 16 votes

Arizona needed 140k for 11

No idea why you're downvoted. You're right. USA not existing would suck for many people, yes. Especially Israel. Europe not so much.

Meh...dunno.. even the stupidest of the people I've spoken to have agreed that trump is bad and were outraged by some of the stuff he said/did. And people always claim that when people show up to vote, the Dems win. Not a fact I've bothered to check, but it does work for the past few elections.

The original comment to which you replied said "Millions of people stayed home. I really doubt Gaza was the reason for all of them."

We've agreed that millions of people did stay at home. So I don't see the problem. Yes, they often stay at home. That's the problem. When it's two of more of the same it's more understandable. But both sides have been pretty clear about what's at stake. And they still stayed home. That's it. And you've agreed that 1/3 of the people didn't vote.

Not sure how the op was untruthful or misleading or based in any way "off of feelings and emotions".

Millions of people chose to allow this to happen. And yeah, Gaza wasn't the reason.

Afaik, everyone that's a citizen and over the age of 18 is included. But I could be wrong.

What feelings and emotions? Trump got 72.6 million votes so far this year. He got 74.2 in 2020. That's 1.5 million voters right there. Biden got 81.2 million votes. Harris got 68 million votes. That's 13 million votes difference.

And most elections get in the 60% +-5 range voter turnout.

So...yeah... 1/3 of the population doesn't bother to vote.

Jesus was crucified, David koresh was shot, Joan of arc was burned at the stake, etc. Yeah, they all had different messages and interpretations. Some were martyrs, others weren't. Some were actually sainted, others weren't.

But at least you're not debating my previous point anymore, means we agree on something finally. Let's leave it at that, shall we?
