@jones96706@lone_rides We're two months from midterms and Republicans haven't really had anything to feel good about lately so amplifying a culture war is the best they got
@hecheateddotorg@h07d3n@RichardHanania The norm for the ACLU is cases which are at the edge of what has been legally established. Their whole thing is defending rights regardless of the who's claiming them.
@hecheateddotorg@h07d3n@RichardHanania The ACLU just takes whatever cases they think has a chance to impact legal principles, the client is beside the point. Not the same as activism for an agenda. They also tend to be edge cases which is why they ended up there in the first place.
@AlexKoenig1@cremieuxrecueil Idk what you're saying. I don't get the link between "different country different outcomes" and "you have to be racist to explain it" are you talking about the quoted definition above that everyone agrees is absurd how it's worded?
@AlexKoenig1@cremieuxrecueil I think they were trying to say that variation doesn't map out neatly into racial categories. The variation is real but the concept of race assumes boundaries that don't actually exist biologically. This is the mainstream scientific view and hasn't led to eugenics.
@FarmerH79709@carlquintanilla@Acyn Just my opinion but the side that abhors free elections is the one adding restrictions that make it harder for legal citizens to vote, justifying it with premise of fraud that never turns up at anything close to the scale claimed. I doubt Trump even believes it but good luck
@FarmerH79709@carlquintanilla@Acyn I assume you meant 2020 but trump gained 11M too so you'd have to explain that. I'd interpret as very high turnout for both Trump voters and people just voting against Trump rather than enthusiastic about Biden. That's how I remember it at the time too.
@scruffy_h@LifeWithoutLack@AmericanDebunk Still, nobody ever claimed gender is the criteria in the WNBA. The premise that your identity determines eligibility is false.
@FarmerH79709@carlquintanilla@Acyn Obama 2008 69.5M
Trump 2016 63M
Clinton 2016 66M
Trump 2020 74M
Biden 2020 81M
Harris 2024 75M
Trump 2024 77M
So Trump beat his 2016 by 11M and Biden increased by 15M. Both parties beat Obama's count both times. Two party total went from 155M to 152M as trump gained 3M.
@JacobBurner5@RantingwithRich@TONYxTWO I guess you could read it that way but apparently it isn't out of protest it's just the norm. That's probably why nobody really cared before this week when they started covering it. The unwarranted part is manufacturing things to be mad about like this post did.

First poll before election and second after. Look how Trump and Biden voters said they planned to vote, then how they actually voted and the reasons they gave.
@FarmerH79709@carlquintanilla@Acyn No I'm not aware of any evidence presented in those cases that shows fraud. Same with any affidavits that were tested in court. Mail in vote counts are revealed in batches after polls close. Republicans were told not to vote by mail so it's not surprising they favored Biden.
@FarmerH79709@carlquintanilla@Acyn What's inaccurate about the court record? Sane people check what they think against the available evidence before they're sure.
@freedom_carrier@TheOmniLiberal Well we honestly don't know the effects yet but we can look at 2018-19 where data says costs landed on importers not exporters. Doge was bullshit inflated numbers. Maybe they could just follow the existing code where appropriations are passed by Congress.
@FarmerH79709@carlquintanilla@Acyn So one of us fell for a lie. Them not being terrorists hinges on the fraud being real and it lost in 60 court cases. Trying to deny the results anyway is the attempted coup.
