Re: The US Politics Thread

one has to be nearly out of their mind if they think trump wont win.polls are never nearly accurate and by now its becoming more obvious betting whatever it is, on it.

[Myesyats]

Yep Trump is gaining momentum quickly

FiveThirtyEight's model has been tilting in favor of Republicans day by day. Every swing state is getting redder

This is insane. Joe Scarborough and Mark Cuban are openly arguing that Elon Musk deserves to have his businesses punished because of his political opinions.

It really is Donald Trump or communism. pic.twitter.com/ezTRIBJVFF

Complete madness. What happened to Mark Cuban? That guy was cool.

I just want it over at this point tbh.

I personally wouldn't mind nationalizing Twitter and turning it into a public good tbh.

On another news Kamala's election chances might be truly cooked.

Well you'd never said that if twitter was still far-left leaning This is not free speech!

Starting to look not great for Kambala. Is every swing state going to really flip red?

Wouldn't say "far-left". at best it was neutral under Dorsey, and you were not getting explicit propaganda on your feed.

[futbol_bill]

Just to educate you kids!

Far left are Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela.

Far right was in 30s and 40s, Germany, Spain, Italy.

You don’t see any resemblance of far left in USA today, but you sure as hell see a lot of far right in Maga and Trump.

[Myesyats]

I meant far-left in the context of the US, obviously in the context of all history it's not the farthest left ever. You dont really need to explain this to me as both my parents and grandparents lived under USSR control.

But wanting to silence media that are unfavourable to your views is pretty radical

[Pedram]

Silencing fake news propagandists =/= silencing media. Twitter and other massive online spaces shouldn't be used as a outlet to radicalize people into neo-fascism.

If Musk can't keep his Nazi side/South African apartheid genes to himself then yes, the state should force his hand. like how Brazil did and he relented, like a pussy. just because he's the richest man in the world doesn't give him the power to brainwash the entire planet into his stupid ideology.

[Myesyats]

Tweets are fact-checked by community notes while mainstream news is not

I dont want to sound like Trump here, but the mainstream media are some of the most fake news aggregators there are, it's just that they represent a liberal worldview so it's fine

You can block and tailor your feed on twitter, for me no right wing stuff is showing up as of late

[Pedram]

To conservatives even reality has a liberal bias.

I don't think it matters if those people can't distinguish objective facts from fiction, they live in a alternative planet. we are talking about the sort of people who actually believe migrants are eating cats and dogs.

Liberal media almost made you believe that Kamala is a viable candidate man, dont you see how powerful they are  

Its not the same kind of misinformation that you're talking about but they create a reality that people subscribe to, same as with presenting Israel as victims etc

I don't think i've ever suggested Kamala was a good option, to the contrary actually. you might be mistaking me with @McLewis.

I'm in no way saying MSM should be trusted at all times though. but i know what you are talking about. the mainstream media is indeed powerful in pushing their own narratives, sometimes even false ones, like Russiagate or as you said, Israel being the eternal victims.

[Arquitecto]

Kamala is a garbage option. No meritable qualities and cannot speak to save her life.

Mark Cuban also is a billionaire with hilariously shit advice and takes that constantly fall flat who tf is he to ask Musk to be banned just because of his political views? I dont know anyone who takes what he says seriously.

[Vibe]

Kamala has no chance realistically in a fair election, but something tells me there will be chaos.

She can only beat Trump with illegalls voting and there are already some videos of those machines turning Trump votes to Harris votes, don't know if true. I did not believe that the election was stolen in 2020 but seeing the events unfold it seems more and more likely that Trump was robbed.

Dems will try to steal it, I think. Why else would they enable illegals voting and make it illegal to even ask for ID.

Crazy, I live in a shithole country but when I go to vote they have levels and levels of security. While in the greatest and most advanced country in the world, it is somewhere illegal to even ask for an ID? Ridiculous. You don't even hate to live there. Or be a citizen But only if you're a democrat.

[Myesyats]

I mean afaik you still have to state your name and address when at the polling place and then they check your eligibility against the list of registered voters? And since noncitizens can't register to vote I doubt they can get around that.. seems to me like misinformation

THe voter fraud instances from 2020 were mostly from republicans actually

However I'm not sure why there's a problem with physical id and why is it such a hassle over there. Every citizen should get one for free and that's the end of story. The arguments I hear is that it's because it's not easy to obtain and not cheap? Like why is ID not free?

[Myesyats]

"This guy is a perfect example how much the media lies to the public. We were told he was weird.  This guy is the most genuine normal human being in politics.    He seems like just your average everyday dad that wants good for the world.    I wish him and his family the best."


I have to agree. Dems tried really hard to label him and Trump as the 'weird' ones but they've been slaying their media run as opposed to Kamala. JD seems like the most regular guy ever

[Thimmy]

Dems? I'm pretty sure I read someone on here insist that he's some kind of weirdo. I never had any strong opinions about him, so I don't care either way, but I humbly suggest that GL isn't above being impressionable and hyperbolic either

[elitedam]

You're dickriding JD Vance now, Myesyats?

What the fuck is this? You're in your contrarian phase?
