The majority of the voting population answers this question based on name recognition alone.

Yeah I read the article, that headline is almost misleading in its support for Harris if anything. AOC has the best net

NOT complain and whine that everything isn’t handed to us on a platter.

She’s in second place and we have 3 years to move her into first, that sounds worth a shot to me. But go ahead and throw your hands up in the air, tuck your tail, and say there’s nothing we can do.

I shouldn’t have to educate grown adults on shit this important they ought to desire to learn on their own. They should know who the hell AOC is JFC. So I’m still disgusted, just significantly less so. And like, I’ll inevitably try to promote AOC, but I don’t owe this country shit. I want to leave, I only can’t thus far due to money/resources.

I jumped the gun, its still bad but AOC has the best net favorability out of them all. Harris has the most support by sheer name recognition. Its bad that people don’t know who AOC is though.

The important takeaway is that AOC, and presumably progressivism more generally, is getting more popular.

Embarrassing (for me)… upon actually reading the article, the headline is almost misleading. AOC has the highest net favorability of them all, and Harris is only past her due to name recognition.

I’m baffled how there is that many people unaware of AOC though.

Second place to Harris??? Holy fuck we deserve our fate.

Edit: upon reading the article (I know…) AOC has the best net favorability. So a little more hopium there.

I almost always drink 32oz of black coffee a day. For more than a decade that seemed to be perfect.

As of late I’ve found however that I’m still tired and end up slipping an extra cup in.

We could have. Since we didn’t I don’t care anymore and I resent the implication that because other people failed I have to keep toiling.

I’m barely fueled by spite at this point. I mostly feel nothing. I just don’t care about shit anymore.

But I also don’t seem to be deriving enjoyment from entertainment anymore either. So I’m still fucking here talking to you people.

Fascists are not empowered by political apathy

Fascists are empowered by political apathy in a first past the post election system. Which we have.

And its not just tankies. You guys are an influence but you aren’t the sole driver of this result of low turnout obviously.

This is something many clownishly-apolitical individuals that aren’t tankies understand and still choose not to vote because they also, like tankies, think both parties are the same but for more low brow selfish small minded reasons. I live in a deeply rural area and commute to a small city and I’ve encountered these morons first hand in both places. Typically these are poorly educated impoverished people who feel left behind by perceived elites (not just rich people but basically any people smart enough to work low paying white collar like myself). Who don’t realize they’re letting things get worse for them and now will end up materially worse off and even some of them will end up dead as a result.

And in so far that a person can deserve their own misfortune, they will. Because they either know or very much ought to know what was at stake and did not give a fuck.

I actually think most tankies will be fine though. You guys are educated enough that you’re probably not on average nearly as impoverished as these types. It’ll just be the dipshit apolitical underclass of people who will start feeling things get noticeably worse.

Maybe it wont be too late for them to be moved by their impending suffering and react to it in a productive way but at this point I’m kind of over it. I’m ambivalent at this point.

Yes AOC, he is. We all know. Some pieces of shit Americans however earnestly did not give a fuck clearly.

I have nothing to say that’s constructive but I also have nothing to do to fill the void.

The people who refused to vote also deserve it. That means most of us deserves this.

I also tried to stop it. I not only voted, I traveled hours to a purple state and canvassed. I donated. I constantly agitated at my workplace at the risk of my job.

I know they exist but they’re still a minority.

At least they’re probably experiencing a growth spurt though. Little bit of hopium there.

I mean, the libs are going into the camp as well. Specifically, the ones that wanted you to vote for them most likely a target. Trump’s admin is clearly trying to flex their power, now that they’re ignoring the rightwing Supreme Court and completely ignoring due process. Why would they want to continue to tolerate any political threats to their power at all?

Maybe you’ll get to see Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Chuck Schumer, and Bernie Sanders all in the Salvadoran Gulag with you. Maybe you’ll even meet me there. We can all go and bitch at each other while the fascists torture us all to death.

The ones primarily saying that want to shoot liberals and leftists.

The few liberals and leftists who are pro-gun probably don’t have sufficient support or power to form a militia force. Because most liberals and leftists in the US are anti-gun.

Don’t be, most of us deserve it.

Zionist Democrats want to fine you and repress you in financial ways. They want to “tut tut” you for being anti-Semitic.

Zionist Republicans want to put you (and immigrants, and LGBT, and dissenters) in a death camp.

Typically first dates are not the same place you first meet someone.

I know, but that there aren’t a lot of places to meet people in person without spending a bunch of money is a major problem and meeting people online to date sucks.

Not everyone loves meandering around a park or beach. Though I’ll admit its good for our brains to do so. It always feels like a chore to me, I get bored.

Also was it alcoholic cider? That would explain why it was fun.

Also those places aren’t really great for meeting people and even then you don’t want to make those locations the only dating locations.

The guys saying the top three things aren’t necessarily the same as those saying the bottom thing. But there is definitely some overlap. Which is depressing. Though, I mean is that really that surprising given the state of the world and how stupid the average person is?

The loneliness epidemic also effects women. We’re all more lonely and miserable these days. I think really men and women are alienated from each other in large numbers due to internet brain rot. And being too broke to do anything outside except like… go to a public park or a library or something.

The shitty rightwing politics comes after, the average person is too stupid to not get immediately sucked into manipulative rightwing grift when they’re painfully lonely.

I say this as I consume internet brain rot myself. Though at least its on Lemmy and not Tik Tok, Reddit, or Facebook, and its during work, not my free time.

In order for him to answer your question he’d need you to define more precisely what you are asking so he doesn’t argue against a point you aren’t making. You seem to refuse that clarification and are just saying hes a bullshitter repeatedly. Which implies you don’t actually care if he can provide evidence at all.

Hes saying he doesn’t trust you not to waste his time. Arguing using evidence requires effort that is often wasted on people who don’t care about evidence. (Even if they say they do care about evidence)

Just pointing out I don’t have a horse in this race otherwise. I’m not going to make the claim AI can yet solve novel problems. I just despise intellectual dishonesty.

I would if I got to join. I’ve always wanted to do an eiffel tower.

I’m bi and poly though.

Though also I’m probably never going to get married.

I mean, let them? Who cares?
