Didn’t Howard Dean lose the 2004 primary because he yelled “Yeah!” or do I have that wrong?

I’m not saying it’s not misogyny, just that Americans are too stupid to need decent reasons to oppose someone, even by liberal democratic standards.

It’s irritating that we won’t get to see Biden fail to string up sentences together on the debate in September, but I’m far more annoyed at how quickly all the morons trying to get people to vote for a corpse turned around to sing a different tune. Previously people who didn’t want to support a zionist zombie were against democracy or whatever the fuck, now Biden is laudable for realising his flesh will have fallen off by November.

On the scale of not good things to be doing, diligently paying taxes in a western country does more harm than any form of sex work.

You are absolutely correct, picking stats and indices in alignment with our views isn’t something communists are immune to. We’re nevertheless decent at it.

This post is an indication of that. OP’s proposition is that western media says Chinese markets aren’t attractive to investment, and that the FDI index shows otherwise. This holds up, and here’s the description of the index:

The FDI confidence index is calculated as a weighted average of the number of high, medium, and low responses to questions regarding the likelihood of making a direct investment in the market over the next three years. Values are calculated on a scale of 0 to 3, with 3 being the highest level of confidence in a market for Foreign Direct Investment, and 0 being the lowest level of confidence.

Nah man. Portals don’t have hyper competent, 11D aliens that are actually a bit entitled. Do portals let you just erase your enemies?

Unless you subscribe to the theory that it was just Sisko using 3% of his real power and glared the Jem’Hadar or of existence, in which case the wormhole was incidental.

I protest this meme, the coconut tree speech was the only genuinely interesting words I’ve ever heard come out of her mouth.

That’s the thing though. For supposed socialists, not supporting genocide or opposing a seller colonial entity aren’t purity tests. It’s practically calling the presence of hemoglobin in red blood cells a purity test.

Biggest reason, I can still use Boost after the api shit. If I were forced to use a browser or shudder the official app, I wouldn’t even consider it.

Most of my scrolling I do here, my Reddit use had become more specific even before I became more active on the 'grad. I don’t use twitter or any other social media, so Reddit is my only source of news on the series and mangas I follow.

For my part I don’t use the wider Lemmy either. I’ve got 2 subscriptions from hexbear and that’s it. Other instances feel like knock-off Reddit so I don’t browse them for the same reasons I haven’t browsed r/all in years.

Megatron needed some time alone to think, so he left New York City and attacked Israel all on his own.

Wow. Pre-adolescent me had some decent ideas. All hail Megatron indeed.

Despite decrying liberal democratic elections and their meaninglessness, the fr*nch and ukian elections put me back on the election “analysis” mindset. I feel compelled to respond to the OP from reddit.world. Is it true that higher turnout simply means democrats win?

2012: 58.6% turnout, Obama wins
2016: 60.1% turnout, Trump wins
2020: 66.6% turnout, Biden wins

The issue with truisms is that they usually aren’t true. When someone says “the average age of fox news viewers is 67” they imply these people will basically die by the next decade, but leave it the fact that this average isn’t going up by 4 every election cycle.

Also it’s a unique fun to see lemmitors fight by calling each other out on how much of a redditor each other are.
