Some doctorates are only earned because mommy and daddy made it easy to get in or have an easier life, so it doesn’t really predicate being intelligent or wise

Half the country is not conservative or right wing, the highest percentage of red votes are in low population density areas, so thats maybe like 35-37%, and that’s why the electoral college is important for republican wins

The smartest regular citizens I’ve met have so far been in NY, MA or MN

The turnout in swing states wasn’t enough

this is how you know undecided voters who are deciding between “morals or pocketbook”, literally the words one of them used, are full of shit or just attention seeking

meanwhile evangelicals made the pragmatic decision to vote for Trump, the least christian man in the whole GOP, because he furthers their anti-abortion agenda. I

Conservatives get abortions as soon as their own daughters get pregnant. They’re consummate hypocrites. Voting republican has always been about keeping workers deprived of rights and wage increases. No conservative gives a shit about the culture war stuff. The culture war is and has always been a distraction from creating welfare states like in EU.

I don’t know, it’s too soon to call it. We’re not even at the October surprise yet, probably Vance is getting replaced. Harris win depends on voter turnout

2012ish is like when Reddit was at its peak, I blame social media

 
 

I am not sure, but I wonder if it would help to bring this up to more congress representatives to take action in some form, sooner rather than later. I know many officials are working on attempting to fight back against electoral college rigging, but many regular U.S. voters are blissfully unaware that this is even an issue.

Everything in the article is already happening,

Anyone else feel bad after criticizing religion or conservatives? I think I am just feeling empathetic towards religious people and conservatives. Sometimes people just don’t know any better, or they have too much to unlearn to reconcile their differences with other people. I genuinely want to understand someone else’s perspective, but I don’t think anyone else has the right to impinge on someone else’s rights, especially not based on their cultures world origin mythology. It can be very frustrating. Sorry for unloading, been reading too much news and pol 😭 Pic unrelated
