B-b-but Biden’s been calling for a ceasefire!

The only bad things are what people say, not their actions. This is worse than under Biden because now it’s being reported more publicly. Trump is worse than Biden because he openly calls for the destruction of Gaza while Biden says the word ceasefire.

Hot take: Saying good things while doing bad things is actually worse than saying bad things while doing bad things. I am more afraid of the fox than the wolf. I’d rather deal with the guy that says “shoot them all” than the guy that says “ceasefire!” but shoots them all anyway.

But why would you be so worried about the fox? Look at him, he’s smiling at us!

Nice Mr Fox isn’t gonna hurt us like that mean snarling wolf

I mean, both

Controversial take from an American, I’m a big fan of the UK plugs. Looks like the Australian and Chinese ones work similarly, I’m not familiar with them though.

Any without a ground wire can get fucked, and the circular holes weird me out for some reason.

Also a note from my wife who studied in Japan, most outlets in newer construction now have a ground wire. Also some American devices work with their plugs, the only difference is that one side is larger in the US and in Japan they’re the same size.

But that’s Covid!

I will actually be very mildly surprised if he doesn’t end the conflict in Ukraine. That is very much the Democrats’ war, and Trump has been saying how stupid it is basically since day 1. He has no sympathy for the Ukrainians () and is a stingy bastard, I can absolutely see him cutting off weapons and telling Ukraine to give up.

Unironically this. Recessions are not blameless and you can and should blame a shit economy on the people in charge. Even if they’re following “standard practice” in the society we live in, that standard practice is bad at solving the problem.

My brother in Christ just plan your economy

I genuinely think this is a possibility. They didn’t want to be the ones holding the bag when shit fell apart

I genuinely see no good reason why adderall and other ADHD meds shouldn’t be available behind the counter without even having a prescription

If people who don’t “need” them take them sometimes, truly who the fuck cares? There are way worse things they could be doing.

Put them behind the counter so you have to talk to the pharmacist and they can make sure you know what you’re doing, and then just let it be.

Because I think they've been putting out trivia and quizzes instead lately while Gareth is out on tour

See that’s what I thought too and then I looked at the Patreon page and realized there were a bunch of Chollops from the last few months I hadn’t seen

It’s become pretty clear that even most Americans (and especially most Americans likely to vote for a Democrat) at the very least dislike seeing dead children pulled out of rubble every day

Yeah that’s the one I have currently, I think it has the stuff for the $5 tier but not the $10 tier that has the news episodes

Here is the poll I’m talking about, and a couple articles talking about the poll 1 2 and then also this one from months ago because we’ve known this since before Kamala took over the campaign and have been screaming it the whole time.

@RedWizard@hexbear.net

It’s a somewhat small poll but not that small and big enough to draw some conclusions from, even if it’s twice the margin of error it’s still a huge number.

A poll from a few days before found that 34% of respondents in Pennsylvania would be more likely to vote for Kamala if she vowed to stop giving weapons to Israel. Michigan it would’ve been a bigger shift than that.

That simply does not line up with this Blueprint poll, but of course it doesn’t because those are the people you’re specifically excluding from this poll.

Edit: Sorry I was misreading that and giving them more credit than they deserved. That 34% was among all respondents, if you looked at undecided voters who voted for Biden in 2020 it was 57%. Undecided voters who voted for Biden being the people who lost you this election. And similar numbers play out in every swing state.

We're gonna have to just stop caring about being called "anti-Semitic". The word has lost all fucking meaning.

I don’t disagree but it’s really scary that Israel has pushed things to that point. Like I’m sorry, how long before the Star of David is considered a hate symbol no different from the swastika? Because if they keep spray painting it on the homes of innocent people they’ve destroyed it won’t be long.

Honestly the more I think about it the more frustrating this poll is, I don’t just think this is unhelpful for these issues in this election, I think this is a stupid methodology for any election that doesn’t have compulsory voting.

By the very nature of polling people who voted you’re inherently selecting for people who agree with at least one of the candidates, more likely the winning one. In a system like the US where elections are won on turnout and not changing votes, that’s completely fucking useless when it comes to figuring out what went wrong and how to win future elections.

You went to what is statistically a Trump rally and were shocked to find that everyone you polled supports Trump.
