“VPNs are haram but tor browser truly is the work of Allah himself”

Some guy, maybe.

Its also exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to read about in the onion.

This is beyond mear irony.

Because they didn’t have to imagine it, as its a pretty standard affair.

Still, its nice to see the Americans have a Duke of Kennedy ruling over them aagain. It seems to make them happy.

Theres no reason anyone could justify thinking “maybe not.” I’m glad you’ll be alright tho. It’s good to know that you’re sufficiently insulated from any of that.

They’ll suffer more under trump

They get to blame everyone and pretend to be smarter than other people because their third choice candidate can’t be wrong. This way they can blame the DNC for themselves not caring about all the groups trump will adversely effect and they can then also blame republicans when they eventually do it, all from the top of their high horse.

Then this would be the first time in modern American history that this has happened. If so, then thats a huge thing and most likely, it’ll be the social media owners now being more disproportionally ppowerful. That would be more in line with everything that’s happened before.

Youre also relying on accurate self reporting from musk, the republicans and trump there.

I’m basing what I’ve said on whats happened before. Election spending won’t be reliably verifiable this quickly.

Where did you get that screenshot from? I mean, traditionally, you would provide and link and not just a screenshot. You know, in case its wildly misleading or something.

Also, don’t only count the amount spent after Harris joined the race or presume musk is going to self report accurately.

If this really is the first time in modern American history that the smallest spender won then thats huge. Although, it’ll only be due to the increased power of social media owners which I mentioned above.

Your super-wealthy decided who won. Trump offered them the most tax breaks and government contracts. As such, he had the most money to spend on his campaign and all the social media bosses on-side. Republican or Democrat, the biggest spender always wins.

Thats literally all there is to it.

Sorry but, as annoying as it might be, we’re not going to stop asking for people to be clothed, taken care of and fed. I’m not as tolerant of bad things happening to people as you seem to be.

On the contrary, they’re more important now than they’ve ever been. There also hasn’t been an election where the highest spender didn’t win. Its THE determining factor.

The same people who fund presidential campaigns for Republicans also spend lots of money on influencing democratic nominee choices. The whole things been captured.

Its like you all can’t see the woods for the trees, in the politest way possible. You see the state of trump and all the things that make him an aweful candidate and you say “how could the dems not beat that” instead of “what on earth could exert so much influence that even being that terrible couldn’t stop him?”

There’s no amount of “the dems not having a strong enough message” that overcomes the divide in the candidates, without huge influence. Their campaign wasn’t great but no where close enough to lose to someone like trump, in a fair fight. It would’ve had to have been utterly shocking from start to finish and, as bad as it was, it wasn’t that bad.

Classic satan

In capitalist America, Ambulance chases you.

I don’t think you’re allowed to burn boy scouts.

Lemon flavoured tree cancer

Imo, you’ve got all the prices. However, I would put them in a different order.

Short answer: Republican or Democrat, the candidate that spends the most wins. Therefore, fund raising is winning.

There’s a small group of king-makers in the US and the candidate who offers them the most becomes president. Recently, the people who decide who gets to be president has started to include social media companies and amazon, who hosts half the Internet. Trump also cozied up to the American owner of the company the owns tiktok. Thats how he won. Trumps also great for social media engagement and news channel views.

Even candidates who happen to be better than the republican candidate, no democratic hopeful worth being of “the left” will ever be given enough money to become the president of America. Even if they started from a position that would appeal to them, they would have to compromise on everything that made them that in order to be allowed anywhere near the Whitehouse by the American ultra wealthy.

What you’re seeing isn’t the failure of the Democrats to correctly triangulate but the strength of the American ultra wealthy consent manufacturing machine.

I hope you’re right but it seems like people just started worshipping work instead

A perfectly good meme but I would say it might still presume a little too much good faith.

They’re not undecided. They want to vote for Trump and are desperately hoping for a socially acceptable reason to do so.

We should build some kind of a moat around the UK. If we manage that, while not full proof, I have no doubt that banning it in the UK will be easier to do than somewhere without a moat.
