Reminds me of some other guy that did the same.

You think Trump is actually working? He just lets his goons do whatever and if they do good he just claims their achievements. He's way too busy with interior design at the White House, golfing, napping and watching Fox News to actually check up on them.

The guy I was answering to claimed that the countries were under Turkish or Russian control for more than half a century. Which is not true. Hungary was under Turkish control for around 100 years but you're not going to tell me that Turkish influence from the 17th century has such a major effect on today's Hungary.

And while Hungary was under Soviet control it was not really a peaceful and compliant control as they had multiple resistances and popular uprising against them, starting with the 1956 revolution which the Soviets had to put down by killing thousands of Hungarians.

Don't insult dogs like that.

Sister in law apparently. She has a child with Leavitt's brother but it looks like they aren't together anymore and the kid lives with the father. I don't think Karoline gives a shit about her.

I literally do not understand why they are so afraid of him. They literally have the power to keep him in check. Does he have dirt on the entire Republican Party or something?

So they're doing better without him? That's kinda funny.

If people overwhelmingly vote against them it's much harder to rig than if the results are close. It becomes too obvious. The US is not Russia where they can just defenestrate anyone that brings attention to voting irregularities, at least not yet.

Didn't they already stopped doing Town Halls or toned down the number of them severely?

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Yep. They caved for an empty promise when they had the voters behind them. They literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Now everyone is pissed at them for making them suffer for a month and not achieving anything.

So according to that graph you linked, Harris would have won everywhere except the bottom 8 countries, one of which is Russia and some have elected Russia friendly governments. Also out of those 7 countries, Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary were not under Russian or Turkish influence. They were under Austrian Habsburg influence. Which only leaves Serbia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Moldova(the last two which have active Russian troops occupying their territory).

You also assume that their dislike of Harris is due to misogyny when it could be due to her policies. Even so, she would have won the election with over 50% of votes in literally 75% of European countries, some of which were under Turkish or Russian occupation or influence(Romania, Kosovo, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Greece and Croatia). Shit, some of these countries don't even vote their own head of goverment with over 50% and have to hold runoff elections most of the time. Harris getting over 50% of votes means she did better than their own homegrown politicians (though I assume the result are this way because of the binary choice presented, as most European elections have a plurality of candidates and the vote is split amongst them).

That's why they immediately jumped to treason, to try and bypass that immunity.

Though my question is: doesn't this just fall under the first amendment?
