One extremely important thing to note about 2024 turnout—it was only down in uncompetitive states. Turnout was, on average, higher in swing states compared to 2020. Democrats did not ‘stay home’ in the states where it mattered and you should ignore anyone trying to explain Harris’s loss that way.
Pennsylvania resident here—not happening. It’s going to be at least 50 years on this. They only started allowing the sale of booze on Sundays in the last decade. Republicans in this state do not give a shit what their citizens actually want or about losing out on revenue to neigboring states.
If there was dumbest takes on the election contest, this guy might not win but he would for sure get at least an honorable mention.
Absolutely wild, anyone know what part of the spectrum this is in?
Like I said, be mad if you want. Doesn’t change anything. His vote still counts the same as mine and everybody else’s. You still live in a world where you need that guy to be on your side. You can either shout at the wind that the world isn’t the way you think it should be or figure out how to improve the world that is actually in front of you.
Absolute fucking shitheaded moron fuck who’s screwed us all to ingratiate himself with nazis.
Guy isn’t trying to ingratiate himself with anybody. He just told you what he was trying to do—make the world better for himself and his family. In particular, he wants to spend less on groceries. Low information voters might not be able to connect the dots between supreme court nominations, monetary policy, and broad economic trends, but they will unfailingly notice they’re spending 20% more on groceries than they did four years ago. You want to point out that it’s not the Democrats fault inflation ballooned out of control? I’m right there with you. I voted that way in Pennsylvania. That guy doesn’t care. He voted the other way because he wants cheaper groceries and as far as he can tell, Democrats didn’t get it done. Calling him a moron and Nazi ally isn’t going to change that.
Y’all can be furious with this guy if you want, but he’s probably the most important person to be listening to. The block that determines elections has always been the sizable mass of extremely low information voters who don’t have any strong political affiliations and vote mainly because of some vague sense of civic duty.
They aren’t interested in economic and foreign policy debates. They don’t care about intangibles like democratic norms and the rule of law. They don’t want to hear your class analysis or how qualified you are to give it. The only question they’re considering is “Has life been going well for me and the people in my community that I care about?” That’s it. It’s a vibe check.
Good vibes? Vote for those in power. Bad vibes? Vote against those in power.
This is the voter you need to convince if you want to win.
While this paper is new, the concept isn’t. Investigations into the lowest threshold where exercise still improves health have been unable to find one for some time.
There was a study a few years ago where they split a group of office workers who worked on the second floor of an office building, but all took the elevator, into a test group where they simply asked half them to take the stairs instead with no other changes. The addition of a mere five flights of stairs spread over a week still produced a measurable benefit to cardiovascular health markers.
So the tl;dr of exercise seems to be do literally anything that makes you breathe even a tiny bit harder and it will help.
Not to defend the American public, who does not deserve any defense in the slightest, but…
I have a friend in advertising who specializes in Google SEO, and he pointed out this will include searches that contain the phrase as a subset of the search, such as “When did Joe Biden drop out” or “Why did Joe Biden drop out”.
In 2020 Pennsylvania didn’t finish counting enough mail-ins to call the state until Friday.
So now they can go into court on Monday and by the end of the day there will be an order that he has to stop his election lottery for an election that happens less than a day later.
Good job everyone. You did it.
I started the ubuntu path on warty, was a distro vagrant after unity arrived, switched to debian a while which was and is fine, decided to give manjaro a shot and couldn’t stand it, but oh how that AUR made me swoon. Finally worked up the nerve to lose the training wheels and try just arch, got tired of the immense chore that it became and found EndeavourOS.
I cannot recommend endeavour highly enough. It’s exactly what I always wanted and as long as they don’t completely shit the bed somehow I doubt I’ll ever leave. I can’t speak to your hardware concerns, as I went full team red with common hardware for my last few builds because I knew they would have linux on them. The arch wiki is great. The forum exists. They have a plasma version.
The only games I have been unable to play are those that have shitty anti cheat software and the occasional very recent release, but those usually get resolved in a hurry. Genuinely no complaints.
I hope that obstinate pleasure tastes as sweet when the new Secretary of of Education goes back to burying people with their student loans instead working to find relief for them. And the Administrator of the EPA decides that forever chemicals in our water don’t need to be regulated. And the new Secretary of Labor decides union busting ought to be protected by the first amendment. And the Secretary of Energy decides wind and solar are the problem actually and natural gas is the future. And the Director of National Intelligence decides the National Socialist Database would pair nicely with the National Trans Identification Registry. Or when the 2-3 fresh, young faces on the supreme court establish fetal personhood. And overturn Obergefell. and Lawrence. and Loving.
“The danger of Trump is real and I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of stopping him. I’m still going to steal as many votes as I can from the only candidate that can beat him anyway, solely to make an ideological point. Please don’t acknowledge how this obviously helps him win.”
How is this even a real complaint?
It’s like people have completely forgotten the sheer volume of great games made before graphics like this would have been the best ever. Some of the all time classics use ASCII art for christs sake.
If this is your lead out, the biggest, baddest, most serious complaint you could come up with, must be a pretty solid game at worst.
“Sounds good to me.” - 6 SCOTUS judges in the near future.
College students should be allowed to register at their schools provided they live there, but living there means all-in. You have a Pa mailing address, you switch to Pa license as required by law. Anything else required for residency, none of this a la carte shit where you decide where you live based on what is convenient at the moment.
As someone who lives 1/2 an hour from Lancaster, I’ll bet my hat this is some redneck Pennsyltuckian doing exactly this.
At some point not long from now:
“We know there were fraudulent Dem registrations, we submitted them.” - Some Dumbfuck Pennsyltuckian.
I’m going to keep shouting this from the rootops until people get it throigh their skulls: TURNOUT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. Ignoring that people haven’t updated the totals in their head since the Friday after the election, turnout was only down in uncompetitive states. Across the 8-10 swing states turnout was up. More people voted where it mattered most compared to 2020. Find a better explanation because this isn’t it.
