Thanks!
I found this interaction so wholesome. Bless you two.
Expand deliciously
Yup. The most familiar use of the term (for me) is a soft bullet that impacts a target, rapidly going from a cylindrical/point to a flattened out mushroom-head.
It's also why soft hunting ammo isn't supposed to be used against humans as it creates cavity wounds that it can't be extracted from like "hard ammo"
To be fair there was a lot just do to his stupid soviet style parade to begin with. Impressive that this late in the game he can piss of americans even more.
This late? It hasn't even been a year yet.
he does a lot of things that piss people off. I just mean its amazing how he can keep topping himself in nastiness.
Quite a few in red states. Makes we wonder where those people were in November. That or something was wrong with the count.
There are red voters in blue states, and blue voters in red states. There's a reason for the whole "divided we fall" thing, and a lot of the rhetoric about abandoning red states is fostered to divide us further.
It's so stupid to watch people engage in it, because state lines are arbitrary lines on the ground, but people even on Lemmy love to say "no war but class war" and then immediately abandon leftists in red states.
Look at Tennessee. Yes, Trump received 1,966,865 votes. But Harris received 1,056,265.
Those 1 million people don't stop existing just because everyone is focusing on the 2.
We have a lot of purity testing and tankies on outside. I empathize with the passion, but its also deeply unserious in making material progress.
It’s the big reason why most hardcore pseudo leftists like tankies are just another flavor of authoritarian politics like the Khmer Rouge or Maoism but with a leftist spin instead of a right one.
There are more Republicans in California than Texas and more Democrats in Texas than New York.
to be a red state the "majority" of 50.1% is enough
That would be a purple state, you need a strong majority with 53-55+% to be red. Otherwise you're a swing state.
my bad
I will remain doubtful until actual evidence comes out.
The example they gave was somebody noticing the name on the ballot didn’t match what they chose on the screen. I don’t know about others, but I always look at the ballot before putting it in the box. If I noticed Trump’s name, I absolutely would have said something.
If they are implying this happened on such a massive scale that Trump would have actually lost (120k in PA alone), then I guarantee this issue would have been noticed by a much higher percentage of people and would have been all over the news on Election Day.
Besides, I think exit polling generally matched up with the results.
“The address of this event is private”
…wat. That’s not how protests work.
Location: America
Unfortunately some have it hidden, not sure of their motivation in doing that (to keep the police from knowing where it'll be?) but hopefully it doesn't dampen the turnout too much.
Interesting that they don't have share on Mastodon links.
Didn't some police chief say that 10x 1000-person marches would be unmanageable (from a suppression/monitoring perspective)?
I hope that protest leaders took that as advice, rather than the whingeing it was.
