I agree, but must say I'm pretty disappointed that you didn't use the time a GOP candidate literally body slammed a reporter and STILL got elected as your example of someone actually getting slammed..

Yup. I've mentioned it a couple of times, but most people seem to think or at least pretend that the Houthi terrorists came out of nowhere for no reason and suggesting otherwise gets you downvoted a lot.

You're discounting the many actual communists that are also actual idiots.

Idiots who truly believe in communism, but also think that the fascist Russian government and the equally repressive Chinese one are that.

Once again proving the old adage that every accusation from the fascists is a confession, in Russia too.

I meant that his ELECTION prospects are worse, in part BECAUSE life in general is better and many have forgotten just how awful it used to be.

It's much easier to get elected on "we know he's not the most exciting candidate, but at least he's better than the one ruining your life right now" than on "we know he's been underwhelming but at least he hasn't been catastrophic like the one who used to ruin your life"

All I can tell you is that this isn't you.

Actually, European fascism started in the early 20s the first time around too, with the Italian National Fascist Party founded in November 1921 and Mussolini becoming Prime minister a little under a year later.

I'm sure everything's gonna be fine this time around, though! 😬

I love that they won't trust Wesley Crusher with the task 😄

You obviously have a lot more faith in the rationality of voters than I do, in spite of the whole gestures at entire world thing.

In stead of pointing out details, I'm just gonna hope that your faith will be rewarded in a little under 11 months and wish you a nice day.

That fucking amazing! 😮🤣 Gotta love Letterkenny 🥰

I was actually quoting Bo Burnham's equally hilarious Country Song though 😁

He won the popular vote by a smaller percentage of votes cast than Hillary and the Dem candidate winning the sub-45yo vote is pretty much a given. In most elections, it would be by much more.

As for the 65+ group, a lot of fascists and people who don't consider fascism more of a deal breaker than a (D) behind a name are aging into that group, perhaps as many as are dying off.

And no, I'm not assuming anything. I'm pointing out that there's a big risk of the pro-democracy candidate losing if he and the rest of the DNC don't stop thinking that "Not Trump" is enough and start listening to what the public wants.

Nope, some game called "IfSunSets" that I'm not going to try 🤷

I recently took the toe dip of installing Lubuntu (22.04.2 LTS Jammy Jellyfish) on my old laptop.

I'm generally happy with how everything runs almost immeasurably better on it than with windows 10, but I have one significant issue: I can't for the life of me figure out how to make wireless internet work in it.

I can get online just fine plugging in my ethernet cable or doing USB tethering from my phone, but my phone doesn't have unlimited data and I sometimes leave my apartment, so it's not exactly ideal..

Anyone able to help or point me to someone/something that can?
