This comment chain is what American politics feel like as a European.

I loved that book, it was eye-opening. Being evil is mostly a cultural or peer pressure thing.

Social security, medical cost, food safety, product safety, consumer protection, worker protection are just some things off the top of my head where the EU is far ahead of the USA. We’re only really dependent regarding defense, but honestly, the EU military would probably be enough to stand against Russia if it came to it.

I don’t know how America survives without roller shutters. It’s blackout dark in my home whenever I want it to.

If you haven’t voted for Harris because of Gaza, congratulations. You sealed the fate of the remaining people living there. The US will increase their support and Bibi will feel more confident than ever. Palestine may be wiped out all together.

It doesn’t fucking matter that Harris isn’t everything you want from a president. She’s far from perfect. I don’t like her policies. The reality is that it was a choice between a conservative and a fascist. America chose fascism and the world will suffer.

Being a leftist and not voting because LoW aPpRoVaL is unbelievably irresponsible and I refuse to make excuses for people who stayed home.

Also you need a critical mass of people for a revolution to be successful. I don’t see that any time soon.

We run a lot of Windows servers for specialized applications that don’t really have viable alternatives. It sucks, but it’s the same reason we use Windows clients.

Even if so, it makes a cyclist’s life a lot easier and safer.

Even if Trump doesn’t further dismantle the already weak democratic systems in the US, the consequences of this election will be felt for many decades to come. Western allies will be ostracized, international climate efforts won’t have a bloody chance now, authoritarianism will rise all around the world. Palestine will likely cease to exist, so may Ukraine and Georgia.

Lots of innocent people will die just because they happen to be LGBTQ or pregnant or not white. Poverty will increase. The courts will be filled with right-wing judges.

This election might be the most consequential political outcome ever since Hitler was appointed chancellor. It will be a fucking nightmare.

And every idiot who didn’t vote for Harris is partly responsible. There is no bloody excuse.

Can we stop pretending this election was about Gaza?

• No more environment

That won’t be a problem. America will simply be towed outside the environment.

I do not like this man Ted Cruz.

It hasn’t ever. Always vote for the lesser evil, it’s less evil.

The US voting system is horrible for democracy. A two party system is inevitable the way it works. And with only two parties, it’s inevitable that many aren’t represented.
It doesn’t matter who the candidates are, the system is fucked and needed substantial reform decades ago.

The only thing you can do as a voter is not elect the literal fascist maniac and hope for the best.

It’s not for everyone I guess. But if you liked the original, I think you’ll enjoy the remake.

I’m playing the resident evil 4 remake right now and it’s amazingly good. Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition also comes to mind.

I’m playing it right now and I’m almost done. I think it’s the best remake I ever played. They preserved what was good and reworked what was bad.

EU needs to step in

Absolutely not. Russia’s propaganda efforts are unparalleled. They directly or indirectly fund many authoritarian movements across the globe and systematically spam social media with false information.

“Hands down”
