  • IDK if I would call any of the two elections you mentioned “rigged” as I feel people think of that word to mean direct fraud (votes changed for instance). That being said, seemingly both elections were influenced by Russian mis and disinformation campaigns which puts into question what the response should be. This are not honest elections and, thankfully for Romania, they are able to and seemingly are doing something about this campaign of influence. For the US, which I’m assuming was heavily influenced by Social Media during this last election, nothing should be done, except to make some changes moving forward.



  • You:

    democrats have proven to be no different than the GOP.

    Me:

    Yeah one has pardoned his son, while the other has raped children, been good friends with Epstein, is a felon, lies frequently, and has attempted overthrow the US government.

    That’s not what aboutism, that’s directly addressing your false equivalency. The GOP and the Democrats are absolutely not the same. Then you bring up Epstein and Bill Clinton, but sure I’m the one bringing up random people. The GOP supports traitors, the DNC does not.





  • Wtf are you talking about? I’m talking about the recently elected president of the United States, Trump, and the president that is just leaving the position, Biden. You show me a picture of Epstein and Clinton? Fuck Bill Clinton if he did do BS with Epstein, but the point is, OUR INCOMING PRESIDENT WAS GOOD FRIENDS WITH EPSTEIN! It feels like you’re trying to make up some comparison that doesn’t exist.





  • Sure I’ll clarify. The implication from your statement is that raw milk can kill half of cats very frequently, which is seemingly untrue. What seems to be the situation is that raw milk from cows infected with the bird flu can lead to a 50% fatality rate for cats that drink it. So if cats consume raw milk, will there be a near 50% fatality rate? Not necessarily, but it seems like that would be the case if the cows in question are infected with the bird flu (based on articles).

    The reason why I want to differentiate between what you said, and the article is I can imagine someone saying: “nearly half of cats die drinking raw milk!” to which a skeptic may find online people talking about cats not dying at such a high rate from drinking raw milk, leaving out the fact that the bird flu infected cows is the issue. This can dissuade skeptics from believing the reality that raw milk increases the chances of illness from the bird flu, as well as other sicknesses.

    If I’m wrong about the fact that nearly 50% of cats are dying, all the time, from raw milk, feel free to provide an article so i can educate myself.





  • I actually don’t think so. Like I speak with Republicans that are very dismissive of covid still, despite having family members die to it. If people were bothered by his covid response, they would continue to be bothered by the fact Trump shit the covid response. Instead it seems voters think everything was fine during his term (completely uninformed or unaware of the fact that he was impeached twice, raped women, a good friend and neighbor of Epstein, and tried to overthrow the government)

    The apathy maybe comes from how Harris was hand picked (because it was so last minute that Biden dropped off) vs us having an actual primary with several democrats.


  • If i could change time to allow Biden to run, i would do so only because Harris running in the situation that she did, didn’t work out regardless.

    But I kind of don’t think he would have won either. The debate performance plus “his bad economy” I think we’re too impactful. I think the only chance, if any, was Biden not running, and us actually having a chance to select a candidate.

    The biggest hurdle I would say is the disinformation war that reality is losing against Russia/MAGA.
