downvotes are boring, silly comments are forever.

As much as I think that the right is going to split after trumps loss, I think they’re also more cohesive than the left is by far.

i highly disagree. There is a fundamental divide in how the parties manage. The left is more bottom up, and the right is more top down. It’s much easier for the right to appear “unified” but it’s much easier for them to also fracture, we’re seeing this be a problem in the house already.

Whereas on the left, it seems highly disjointed, but it’s relatively homogeneous. We have much more flexibility when it comes to “unifying” as a party, than the republicans do.

if trump drops out there are two primary paths that are taken, trump runs as a third party, pulling like 20% of the vote, while a primary candidate pulls most of the votes, or a replacement for trump, who is more likely to be less inflammatory than trump, and more moderate, who maga people aren’t very likely to like. But might vote for in large numbers.

Regardless the entire MAGA base will collapse overnight and have to find something new, likely fracturing in the process, so i would expect to see a lot of turnover in the house and senate in the years after trump drops out long term, assuming he does.

I think your general assumption is correct, but i think you’re forgetting about rhetoric and public image. People who think cats are being eaten by Haitians in ohio are simply going to have a different worldview from those who don’t and just think it’s a “meme”

texas and florida are two sides of the same coin i think…

especially trains with DRM.

Yeah exactly, I was being a bit hyperbolic there but I do think this is a unifying issue for pretty much anyone from any party.

that is true, as far as a unification tactic, both voting reform and certain public ventures would be highly effective, we should definitely setup bipartisan organizations for these things.

do you have long covid?

well i mean, there is no confirmed genocide, only suspected genocide, and if we’re arguing that this is an environment for genocide to take place, i would agree with that, but i would stop short of confirming it because i’m not a court and i don’t know the law surrounding genocide in a military context, so i don’t know anything about it.

I just thought your username was funny lol

i mean yeah, nobody is really trying that… They aren’t really divisive figures, the divisive shit they do talk about is entirely made up.

what happened to the gun? We’re not armed anymore? Are we sure this is a bearless environment?

or are there just no men in this forest? Sorry i had to make the joke

yeah this is a comment that makes sense coming from an account named “anticolonialist”

now, i not a professional here, whatever field that would be. But last time i checked, this is just something that we call “bad faith lying”

Is Fahrenheit intuitive? No

no, and neither is any other numbering system, it’s all arbitrary we already determined this.

proven by the fact that it can’t be used without prior understanding, as shown in my example.

as you try and apply celsius logic to the fahrenheit system in order to understand fahrenheit, incorrectly… While still ignoring my prime example here.

damn, what a fucking weird place down there hey?

At least that’s where they all go to violate OSHA rules, and make us more money. I’ll take what i can.

i think the moderate voters, both republican and democrat would immediately fuck them over, though the moderate dems are more likely to align and side with current democratic representation, and possibly future as well, just due to fundamental values, so it’s less of a problem for the left.

makes sense, domestic terrorism is generally frowned upon, it’s the reason j6ers were charged and served time or are still serving time for it.

palestine is fascist? They might be, they’re a war torn government and of middle eastern culture, so maybe.

Israel? They’re a democratic country, so uh. BB himself is wildly unpopular within israel. Those aren’t normally possible under fascism.

The US? The country almost subverted electorally. Only to push through on the sheer basedness of mike pence believing in democracy like a gigachad? TBF we have another election cycle coming up. But we’re doing fine at the moment so.

The US federal government itself due to it’s war actions? Seems highly unlikely to me, popular sentiment for this war is, not great. Granted i don’t know any statistics on this, so i may be wrong. Since you’re here, and criticizing the government for this one, even calling them “fascist” over it. I would probably venture to argue that this is wrong by fundamental reasoning.

I’m not really smelling any fascism here.

such as?

I’m a single-issue anti-genocide voter.

you are going to be deeply disappointed when any number of things happens. Notably when you discover that israel probably isn’t just flagrantly committing genocide. When you discover other issues like climate change, and human rights abuse. Or like, nestle.

I can think of a few things that would spook you more than like 40,000 people dying. Notably the roughly 300,000 causalities in the russo-ukraine war that’s still ongoing.

The election can’t be subverted, it’s already been decided that Harris is winning.

it most definitely can be, see: 2020 election and the jan 6 plot (a video covering the excessive extents of jan 6th, it’s 3 hours long, and straight information)

there is already work being done to potentially subvert the will of the voters: see Georgia, i don’t have to explain this one, the board committee thing overseeing elections is trying to usurp total control over the certification of the votes.

yes, harris is already winning that’s how polling works. Unfortunately for you, polling is never perfectly accurate.

I like your root instance though. Real recognize real if you know what i mean.

aside from the fact that this makes little sense grammatically, in the wise words of funny internet political streamer destiny: “if kamala calls trump a loser, he will call her the N word.”

i’ll take both if i can get both.
