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.
President Joe Biden, elected to the senate in 2020, first black woman VP under a black president to support segregation.
The comparison is layered and not as simple as the two being the same. But I’ve found that people have a way of closing themselves off to things that are going on. On hexbear, if you don’t read the comments of a post about comments that have been deemed a struggle session, you may have no clue even if you saw parts of the original. IRL, if you aren’t part of the drama that’s going on, don’t hang out with the gossipy (not saying this as an insult) types and don’t ask the sort of questions that inquire about drama, you won’t find out.
I’ll posit that you’re probably a more central or more present part of your organisation than most people saying “this doesn’t happen irl” are of theirs.
Since Biden died in 2019 his campaigns’ main strategy has been to keep the corpse away from the limelight as much as possible. The pandemic helped immensely last time, not only did Trump just removed the response, he also couldn’t campaign as hard and Biden wasn’t expected to make public appearances where he’d have to stand by himself without strings.
You know how liberals sometimes talk about some percentage of voters Trump/Republicans can’t lose? That’s what “cold/stutter” people are for democrats.
I still have no idea what anyone is talking about in saying Ginsburg should have resigned. Scalia died while Obama was in office, and he didn’t fight to fill that seat. That’s not to mention these rightists have been sitting with their thumbs up their collective arse while further rightists were appointing their loonies as federal judges.
Biden’s been brain dead since 2019. He was elected without so much as a brain fart worth a damn. Why is this an issue now, when it was simply brushed away last time?
Just checked the article, (archive link) there’s no poll or anything what is value to indicate previous undecideds are leaning Biden. A poll of Latin voters suggests Trump may overperform with them, though with garbled wording they managed to make that sound like Biden is the one outperforming.
The corpse of Joe Biden revealed once more that the coils in his skull aren’t fully functional. I’m not certain how the usian public will respond yet, but shitlibs are scrambling to make sense of it. It’d be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
It’s a guide/advice into hosting our attending parties, here are the first three:
Rebecca Gardner event planner, interior designer
When you accept an invitation, you have an obligation to bring something. You can be the most beautiful person at the party who brings glamour. You can be the person who brings an expensive wine. Or you can bring a sprinkle — which means you sprinkle joy or wit or personality to a party. You have to bring something.
Sarah Harrelson editor in chief of Cultured magazine
If you’re going to go, go. Do not plan to leave the party early. If you have to leave early, I say do not come. And don’t ask who else is coming. That is rude.
Alex Hitz chef, author
Bring a sense of humor. Bring positive energy. That anecdote of yours? Cut it by 98 percent, practice it in front of the mirror, and in six months you can bring it to the party.
People who bring stuff because they feel obligated being cheap shit or expensive crap. Thought comes from, well, thinking. People sometimes just want to share their company even under irregular circumstances, even with time limits. Practicing adjectives to come across as funny sounds pitiful as hell. What’s with these morons?
I need no evidence, I’m quite confident I’ve seen them so wacky shit before.
Substantiate my claims? No, thank you.
Also who wants to bet this arsehole needs evidence for every damn thing Usia/Israel/Ukraine do, when they’ve done it a thousand times before and it’s better-documented than the colour of the sky.
