  • Not OP. I get what your asking for, but this isn't supposed to be a news community. The whole point of this community is schadenfreude on the concept that people have completely voted against their own interests. Essentially, it highlights people get blindsided when the party they voted for enacts policy or actions that harm them...especially when they were told this exact thing would happen.

    There used to be absolutely tons of Brexit items up here as well (at least on the reddit side). We're about to see 4 more years of it.

    It would be like if you went to an unboxing community and got frustrated at the fact that no one then did anything with the items after they were unboxed - they absolutely will....it's just not the point of that community.

  • Yeah mate! That one! The one that says "he's just joking! No body is allowed to make jokes these days." Unless he was actually serious, in which case, "it's a masterclass strategy by our genius leader."

    You know....that one.

  • No no....it was the one that justified everything he said and sane-washed it as being "not that bad".

  • That's fucked. That whole thing is fucked. Tennessee should be on fire over this shit.

  • this has nothing to do with any maga anti-vaccine laws. Although this outbreak is in Kansas, the TB vaccine is not used in the US, not even in blue states, except in rare special cases.

    Mate. It literally explains in the article that:

    • Tuberculosis vaccine is not mandatory and hasn't been required for almost 20 years.
    • That the controversy around COVID vaccination and the laws they pushed validating those imaginary fears made people fearful of vaccines, and by proxy, basic preventative healthcare.

    The whole point of the article was to point out that the unintended consequences of pushing laws and regulations built on fear have harmful repercussions - i.e. you now have a population that thinks COVID isn't that bad, that won't wear masks, isolate, or go to the doctors.....in the middle of an outbreak that is extremely similar to COVID.

  • Oh, the irony....you've managed to out yourself as not even having read the article. But go you for managing to try and shit on the subject.

  • That would be better referenced as a vibrational dampening plushie.

  • It won't fix shit, but it'll certainly scratch the backs of all the people that bribed him of his wealthiest supporters.

  • Omg, just because he said he's a Nazi doesn't mean he actually is one. You need to remember he's autistic. He's on the spectrum. Are really harassing this poor man on something he can't control?!

  • If you buy into this.....

    <inhales>

    .....hahhaahhahahahhahahahHAHAHAHAHAAJHAHJAJAJJAhahhahaha.....you dumb, dumb, dumby dumb person. You are going to loose it all and I will not feel bad at all. This is coming from someone who actually invests in crypto.

    Do not buy this coin if you know what's good for you.

  • If you want to be completely reductionist, then sure. They were trying to show that Trump was so upsetting that people were crossing party lines to vote Democrat....not that Democrats have becomes so centrist that they attracted right-wingers. And the economy has been great, they're not wrong. The Democrat platform was also fantastic: $6k child tax credit, $25k first time home buyer assistance, tax reforms replacing the corporate tax rate to 28%< and taxing the rich, capping medication costs, union support, pushing reproductive rights, climate action, immigration reform. They had a STRONG platform.

    ....but that wasn't good enough. So they elected the billionaire conman that is putting up his billionaire cronies. That's going to help the economy. Like....could the Democrat message have been better? Sure, but it wasn't bad by any means.

    But how are you supposed to argue with someone who doesn't operate on facts?

  • My concern with statements like this is that I don't think your considering the impact that misinformation had on this election.

    There were massive disinformation campaigns that had sizable effects on the dialogue that people had with their friends and neighbors. I'm worried that we could have actually put someone like Bernie as our nominee and that we still would have lost because of exactly this misinformation.

    The Democrat message wasn't making it to people and I think that it really shows...

  • No. It's not. How people are going to be able to afford food, is a problem. How people are going to be able to afford housing, is a problem. How are people going to be able to pay off their debt. You know...real problems affecting literally hundreds of thousands of Americans...not whether or not an extremely marginalized group can play a highschool sport. You are a pawn being used to erode our rights, and you play right into it.

  • Exactly. Greed and self-interest are not eliminated by changing economic systems. They wil justl manifest differently (for example, the nomenklatura in the USSR).

  • No....not everyone hates capitalism. Everyone hates uncontrolled capitalism.

    Socialism isn't some magical bandaid that will make everything better. It has a shit ton of it's own problems and downfalls...nearly all of which are conveniently glossed over by leftists.

  • Oooh...any chance you suggest roasted vegetables? It's easy and pretty fools proof assuming you don't burn them.

  • That's why I do the cooking. I know what I want, and how I like it. Win-win for everyone.

  • Well....maybe you should put your cart away lazybones. Then you won't have to worry about the Krampus getting you.

  • I'm fairly certain it's a meme. Pretty sure I saw this exact thing with a Hawk Tua as the person being quoted.

    Edit: A meme on the science meme community? For reals?
