@nikicaga The ARP bailing out pensions and unions still moving towards Trump a bit black pilled many liberals. It should be noted that Kamala did better with union workers than non-union working-class voters, so I don't think it was completely useless.

@nikicaga There is the idea that he would be an instant win due to being able to win some Trump voters.

“Gambling has become a more common leisure activity than reading a book.” This is just unimaginably bleak.

@fawfulfan A big example of this was when Disney bought Fox Studios. You are free to disagree with the merger, but Disney still competes with Netflix, Amazon, Comcast, and Warner Bros. There are multiple companies that are bigger or about the same size as Disney.

@RyanGeddie Probably the easiest response to people saying voting does not matter is just ask, "Why do you think old people get catered to so much?"

@peterawolf Their mistake was not doing a good enough job to build up their own media space that promoted them; it was fair not to trust a lot of the traditional media and influencers.

@rowanfornow I think there was a poll showing he was losing in a hypothetical run; people did seem to think it was carpetbagging.

@LinkofSunshine I was shocked as a kid to learn that Manhattan was the smallest of the five boroughs.

@mattyglesias I think embracing UBI should be a thing liberals should adopt. There is a lot of economic growth in America, but a lot of Americans don't feel it or think that it is bad, like causing things like AI raising electricity prices.

Let me explain the Kashmir conflict using a direct American parallel:

Imagine if, after the Civil War, the US permanently split into 2 nations: the progressive, secular Union in the North (India), and a regressive, hostile society of slave owners in the South (Pakistan). (1/8)

@agraybee Crime is lower now in the United States than it was in the 80s and 90s, a time the right seems nostalgic for. So many problems would not be around if the media didn't dedicate itself to making people think crime is higher.

Daniel Cressy, 23, becomes the first person in Louisiana to be functionally cured of sickle cell disease through gene therapy

@Wilson__Valdez I think he has a shot at worst man of the 21st century.

[Mercenary29 @Evercor91]

@JeremiahDJohns It is in general one of the most pro American countries.

@nikicaga Her first weird Issue was that she was super pro-Assad and Russia.

For the first time in 12 years I genuinely believe Ukraine will liberate Crimea.

It is inevitable.

@ProjectLiberal The new Labour Prime Minister should just say Brexit was a mistake and let a new vote happen.

[Mercenary29 @Evercor91]

@JJ_McCullough This isn't even all due to Iran; a lot of Indians got mad at Trump because they rightly think he sides with Pakistan a lot.

@yhdistyminen Do an image search of tea party protests anti-Obama signs from 2009 to 2011, and it will be tough to argue that you are wrong.
