  • In the comparing of candidates. I feel like it not that deep. Like there is something very viscerally repellent about the manifestation of Cristo fascism on the American right.

    Like I think of the liberal canard of 99% Hitler retoric and like my rejection of it is on the basis that I wont vote for any% Hitler rather than the premise that they are equal. Idk maybe this is a vestige of my liberalism.





  • The FBI published an Overview of the U.S. Government’s Terrorist Watchlisting Process and Procedures. This document advances transparency by providing a general description of this system and mechanisms to ensure that concerns about it are handled in a timely and fair manner.

    Including this, as a way you have helped Muslim Americans, is a micro aggression, no?(idk a better term)




  • I typed up a electoralism brain(gross I know) rant about polling in reply to [@Parzivus@hexbear.net (https://hexbear.net/u/Parzivus) bc I'm poster brained.

    I mean yea, it's bad bc Dems need to lead like 3ish% on national polls bc electoral college. Also people, I'm talking generally not saying this is you, wish cast polling errors oh it was wrong in favor of trump(2016) or it was wrong in favor of Dems(2022). When in reality there usually very specific errors in the polling. In 2016 people though Texas would flip bc bad polling practices in heavily Hispanic areas or in 22 putting too much weight in junk pollsters. Even with those errors if you actually look at polls say in 2016 the week of election polls had Clinton up on average around 3% and the margin of error on those polls were like +-1.7-3.5%. She won the popular vote by 2.1%, a result well with the margins of polling.

    Like poor analysis in media is a given, the polling is for the most part very sound

    Sorry I don't really have an outlet to talk politics shit. I typed all this out so I may as well post. I kinda rant some times on here, Im hating on you.

    I'm just a chronic polling defender bc nerd





  • Sometimes I just wonder who is running these campaigns. Like they make the statement on an arms embargo but this is their, id assume, planned response to a situation like this. They are common enough for Dems they must have discussed it. Just pooh-wtf shit






  • The first half of Trump's Ukraine take I thought he might actually pull off the Nixon dove strat but he did fumble on the follow up. Also from the perspective of lib friends, when he went of about casualty numbers being higher in reality it was fine but as soon as he went into "millions and millions and maybe even more" territory it jolted people out.

    Like Harris is really leaving the lane open for trump to paint himself as a dove but he cannot stay on message.
