  • Democrats are trying to work out what went wrong. On the left a consensus is forming

    Jump

  • Yes perfect, thank you for this. I literally majored in Linguistics but didn't even think of this because school was so long ago. The ability to code switch where someone could use the professional language while governing but colloquialisms and everyday language while giving public statements would be nice, to be better understood. We all understand basic informal American English but not everyone has a great education.

  • BI: AOC asked voters why they backed her candidacy and Trump's reelection. They said the economy and Gaza.

    Jump

  • Yes, amen, thank you. Abortion beat Harris by 20 points in my state! Clearly there are a lot of Trump voters who are with us on some things and we need to find to common ground to build a bridge and connect us so we can fix this. That common ground is pretty freaking obvious since 99% of us have one thing in common. But Nancy Pelosi has already said no so you need to fall in line and do what she tells you.

  • If you're uneducated and someone is speaking more formally it can be, depending on the topic and the word choice.

    He tax an was tweaked with a more pro corporation lean on the advice of her brother I law Tony West and probably others but all the articles on that are behind paywalls and I don't really care enough about convincing you to look for a way to bypass them.

    As for Trump's abortion ban and things like that, I remember her saying it because she said it. https://www.instagram.com/kamalaharris/reel/DBz9j1zquQx/

  • She stoped supporting single payer, she backed off worker rights, she backed off on taxing corporations, and a huge part of the platform was against Trump's abortion ban and against Trump's authoritarism.

  • They have got to stop talking down to voters, gaslighting voters, and they need to give people something to vote FOR instead of against. I find Kamala to be a good speaker and easy to understand but people saying she's using word salad...at first I didn't get what that was all about, especially when Trump makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but I think I might get it now. She's talking to well educated people but a huge swath of this country is not well educated, uses social media extensively, and maybe it actually does sound like word salad to them when democrats start using words that normal people never use and probably don't understand. If you never went to college and only graduated high school because standards have been reduced, maybe she kind of sounds like an alien sometimes. They need an economic message that speaks to people who have been getting crushed more and more since the 80s and they need to say it in terms we can all understand. And when voters tell them "this is how I feel" for the love of God they need to stop saying "no you don't".

  • Could Joe Biden use his remaining time as president of the US to do away with presidential pardons?

    Jump

  • Joe Biden can do whatever he wants and it doesn't matter because then Trump will do whatever he wants. He can do away with pardons and then Trump can decree that they exist again. There's nothing left to stop him. Buckle up.

  • Realistically... How fucked is the US?

    Jump

  • What you're missing here is that he has an openly corrupt supreme court behind him and everyone who was willing to tell him no is long gone. We'll see how it plays out but it's going to be hard to come back from this, and the Democrats are going to have to start paying attention and actually doing what voters want or there's no hope for them.

  • How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!

    Jump

  • I didn't read that as OP saying they believed that will work, I read it as saying the majority of Americans (or at least the majority of Americans who bothered voting) believed that.

  • How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!

    Jump

  • I was onboard with her but I honestly felt icky every time the Biden administration released a new statement about how good the economy is. How out of touch do you have to be to think the economy is good? Republicans have no intention of fixing that but at least they're smart enough to see that people feel crushed in this economy and pander to it. And apparently that was a much bigger issue than abortion, which shocked me at first but as it settles I see that my fear as a woman pales in comparison to America's fear of a woman and America's struggling financial situation.

  • 2024 Presidential Election Megapost!

    Jump

  • Are most mail in ballots democrat this year? I thought republicans were pushing that more with their base. But I don't know if they actually did it or if they voted more in person.

  • America's youngest voters become major election liars

    Jump

  • Even that might be wrong because at least some of those mothers are afraid to voice their real views. So I agree with you but I still think it might be skewed too heavily in Trump's favor.

  • America's youngest voters become major election liars

    Jump

  • It can be physically and emotionally unsafe to disclose how you voted. Its gross for media to try to blame people for doing their part but doing it safely instead of blaming the terrorists who makes people afraid to tell the truth.

  • Locked

    Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?

    Jump

  • I'm sure the sentence for everything Musk has done has to be far more than a month (the election stuff aside, he has some shady financial stuff surrounding the purchase of Twitter and probably Tesla stock, etc). They need to lock him up as long as they would lock up the rest of us if we did that.

  • Ballots damaged after USPS mailbox lit on fire in Phoenix: Police

  • The people who are most concerned about voter fraud are the ones committing voter fraud. Go figure.

  • Ballots damaged after USPS mailbox lit on fire in Phoenix: Police

  • I dropped mine in the county's drop box so I don't have to risk letting USPS destroy it or "lose" it. Make sure you follow up to verify that your ballot was received AND accepted.

  • A 911 caller reported his friend was killed by a bear in his tent. It was actually a brutal homicide.

    Jump

  • This is not far from Yellowstone so there will be grizzlies in that area. I could absolutely see someone finding this scene and getting panicked and running to find a cell signal instead of performing forensic analysis of the scene. But yeah the cops weren't the ones saying it was a bear, they got it at least.

  • Aurora CO police under fire for sending recruitment team to Trump rally

    Jump

  • Why am I not surprised? At this point I think the Aurora PD is pretty infamous but damn they're not even going to make an attempt at pretending not to be an arm of a fascist movement.

  • Does having a cat count as being in a relationship? Because I feel like it should. I used to have a tuxedo cat who I actually got married to all the time. I couldn't help it, he was all dapper.
