"low-information" voter is anti democratic rhetoric. It's an argument that some votes should count more than others. Or that some voters are better than others. First time I heard the phrase was on Rush Limbaugh like 20 years ago. I've been disturbed how often "progressives" adopt this bullshit mentality.

Do tankies really think that 10+million Americans boycotted an election in solidarity with the Palestinians? This is why they're not taken seriously. k

Even when the plan is "do nothing" Tankies fuck it up.

This is a perfect story, that's why I don't believe it happened.

Harris is missing 10 million votes that Biden got in 2020. It looks like many of those 10 million were suburban men who didn't vote Trump, just sat on the couch. misogyny is a viable explanation for this because otherwise you'll have to explain why Biden set the left on fire, or why Biden was so inspirational to men.

She lost the scrote vote, simple as that.

Eugenics is the single stupidest idea in human history. To advocate for it now is to deny biology and history.

It relies on the same misunderstanding of evolution that underpins 'great replacement theory'.

It turns out that it's hard to tell the future. Polls have to make assumptions and the safest assumption is that this election is going to look like elections in the past. From the early voting data, we know that this election isn't like 2016, or 2020, and what that tells us pretty reliably is that the polls are wrong.

This is how Trump got an upset in 2016, he turned out loads of people who normally don't vote, and were therefore underrepresented in the polling. It is likely that many of these same voters are going to sit it out this year while all the polls are counting them double.

Why does "freedom of expression" always mean "let's hear the Nazi out" in practice?

Is it equivalent to burning the cross? The Swedish flag?

Not all flammable things are the same. The flag and cross are literal symbols of State power in Sweden, the Quran is a book that's only precious to an oppressed minority.

I don’t feel like someone burning my symbol or flag should be punished with prison

I wanna stress that the people sentencing this man to jail are not the same as the people offended by the burning. This power dynamic is important.

inappropriate sexual behavior

You're not 'taking responsibility' if you can't even use the words that describe the act your guilty of.

It would be funny if this guy dies and Jesus says, sorry, you have to go to hell. Yes, we forgave you, but only for the inappropriate sexual behavior that you confessed to. You're still on the hook for rape.

This is what Tucker has to do these days just to get people like us to talk about him again. He used to have the prime time FOX slot. Now he hosts a show on Twitter (formally X). That's like going from sold out stadium shows to headlining a half empty ballroom on a cruise ship.

What other weird beliefs does Tucker have? Where does he think microwaves go when you open the door?

There is not more danger now than there was centuries ago

The way you describe American history as "centuries" like we're the Roman Empire or Egypt when we've only got 2.5 centuries to choose from.

These are the actions of a weak dictator terrified that his enemies sense his weakness. Works on the same principal as lifted trucks.
