US Politics

[hallow epoch]

Yea thats crazy

[unique terrace]

But on top of that corporations like dunkin donuts, refuse to donate the food waste at the end of the day to shelters or even let you take more than allotted amount home with you after a shift.

So it's thrown out

We overproduce food

So much

[hallow epoch]

As someone who use to work at wendys it seriously pissed me off that we couldnt give away the leftover food

[unique terrace]

It's corporate greed

Anything left over is thrown out if it can't make them money

Fast fashion is like this too

[cedar wharf]

Again you’re being short sided lol

“Don’t worry about those white men, there are only a few of them in Jamestown”

[unique terrace]

If you don't believe me check the dumpster at a 5 below when the holiday season shifts.

[unique terrace]

It's short sighted but ok

But anyway

[hallow epoch]

Who fucking cares about that conversation anymore we’re past that, i’m done arguing with you about your xenophobia

Also dont call me liz?? Not my name

[unique terrace]

Food scarcity? nah. We have enough food to feed everyone here but kids are still starving.

Thanks corporate greed.

So it's corporations that suck, not immigrants.

Let's move on to job scarcity

American corporations do not like paying workers for labor.

We have a minimum wage in this country that they have to abide by and they hate it

So plenty of jobs are outsourced constantly when we could have people doing it here.

It doesn't take a whole lot of skill to work in a call center

You just have to be able to read and speak the language of the callers.

But we outsource

Because if they can pay less for a worker in Bangladesh, they will

There's no law preventing it.

There's no quota for American workers a company has to employ for them to operate here.

[cedar wharf]

You’re right, I guess we see past that conversation. Most Americans decided that when they voted Trump 💀

The deportations have already been ordered

[hallow epoch]

Speaking of dodging the conversation 🙄

[unique terrace]

Wolfie, we almost got him to drop it.

uggggg

[hallow epoch]

I doubt he was gonna drop it or listen to anything you have to say

[unique terrace]

Just in general, there isn't a shortage of jobs.

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/forbrn.pdf

[cedar wharf]

Ah okay.

[unique terrace]

According to the bureau of labor statistics in our country, we don't even separate undocumented workers from our general category of foreign born workers.

They're just lumped in.

[cedar wharf]

I’ll just hope the current economic system won’t change.

[unique terrace]

But regardless a lot of the struggles we face right now are because corporations are exploiting us.

All of us

We can agree that there is something wrong here economically

100%

But it's not our fellow workers regardless of their immigration status

[cedar wharf]

Every job shortage followed a time when there wasn’t one.

I beg, think about the future.

[unique terrace]

every time you turn a light off it was previously on
get a real argument bozo

There is no job shortage

THere's a labor shortage

[cedar wharf]

Does mass amount of low skilled immigration make it harder or easier to exploit workers? lol

Why do you think China has so much cheap labor?

[unique terrace]

https://www.uschamber.com/workforce/understanding-americas-labor-shortage-the-most-impacted-industries

[cedar wharf]

Once they can replace us with 30 million low wage immigrants, the corporations will have no choice but to respect us!

[unique terrace]

nobody is trying to replace us dude.

That's literally a white nationalist dog whistle

https://immigrationforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Replacement-Theory-Explainer-1122.pdf

[cedar wharf]

I love how I throw out these analogies and quotes as jokes, and yall keep bumping into them.

Again, the original colonist were not trying to replace the native population.

[unique terrace]

nobody knows you're joking bro

[cedar wharf]

How did that turn out?

[unique terrace]

why are you using the language of the oppressors to justify opressing another group of human beings

that's some bullshit

[wide pawn]

Immigrants have a net positive to the economy

[cedar wharf]

50 million Chinese people wouldn’t be going to France with the intent to replace them. And yet…

[storm garden]

ugh

[unique terrace]

If they immigrate to france and become french citizens, then they're french too

that's how that works

but anyways

bye

[dim kindle]

Um that doesn't matter it's not our country

[cedar wharf]

I’m a black democrat. I voted for Kamala, Clinton and Obama.

I’m far from a white nationalist. Im just aware of history and I have foresight

[unique terrace]

Yeah, which is why I just don't understand.

I don't get it.

I'm afraid I never will

So I'll just leave it be.

[cedar wharf]

I’m an American, and I care about American people. I think this is our home, and I’m aware that mass amount of immigration jeopardizes the only home we have

[unique terrace]

But not women though

cool

glad that's cleared up

[cedar wharf]

Again. There is not a state or empire throughout history that would disagree with what I’m saying. Borders and immigration laws exist for a reason

[unique terrace]

It's fine. I know where you stand now.

No need to explain any more

nope

I see you typing

I'm good

I get you

"but I have to have the last word"

ok.

whatever your ego needs

it's fine

[cedar wharf]

[weary coral]

[weary coral]

Elon

[hallow epoch]

FUCK tesla and elon down with that mf

[cedar wharf]

Elon should be deported

[unique terrace]

Tesla is a good company, Elon is a dumbass

I would love the electrification of vehicle fleets.

Reduce emissions

We just need better battery tech

[weary coral]

Their build quality is shocking

[unique terrace]

Yeah, the manufacture tolerances are wild.

I don't know how they get away with that

But I assume it's just worker fatigue from having people pump those puppies out.

All they need is a standard jig for door spacing though. It's literally not that hard.

Henry Ford did it pre-automation

[hallow epoch]

I live in a poor af neighborhood and i’ve seen 3 differen cybertrucks here

[unique terrace]

cyber trucks are ass

[hallow epoch]

Like babes what money do you have to buy those???

[unique terrace]

Death traps

[hallow epoch]

STRAIGHT ASS i hate them with a passion

[unique terrace]

If the front of the car doesn't crumple, how the hell is it supposed to protect you???

It's basic goddamn physics

Refrigerators

[unique terrace]

Just get the electric bmw. It's a really nice car.

My dad got a lightly used one and it's been lovely.

[weary coral]

Is it built up from the ground electric? Or just an electric motor in a petrol car

[unique terrace]

Looking up the model. I

[weary coral]

Because Mercedes did that
And there’s no point in it - you’ve still got this massive hump in between the back seats

May as well get a hybrid

[unique terrace]

it's an i3. Everything is housed in the front of the car. No issues with the space inside.

Fit both my sibling's car seats no issues.

[cedar wharf]

I’d get one of those those home chargers if I ever get a EV

[unique terrace]

100%

Convenient

My dad got one in the garage

[gentle vale]

Jumping in here to share my dream of getting a jeep

[weary coral]

Charging stations in the UK are woeful unless it is Tesla

[cedar wharf]

A solar panel setup with a solar battery is also a dream. The power being out for like a week here earlier after the storm traumatized me.

[unique terrace]

It's a shame because EV infrastructure in the US is getting so much better.

[cedar wharf]

If you have a solar battery you can go off the grid

[unique terrace]

That sucks. We need an infrastructure bill so bad.

[gentle vale]

Ugh I need solar power one time I did not have power for a week bevause I live on a lane and it was winter I slept with fifteen blankets since we had no heat

My fish almost died 😭

[unique terrace]

I cannot wait until energy storage gets better. If we could fund solar and wind farms all over the US we would never have any power issues ever again. The sun literally provides nearly unlimited energy to us every day, but we just can't capture it all efficiently yet.

[gentle vale]

I live in a colonial house so I don’t think I’ll be able to get solar panels on my roof sadly

[unique terrace]

Ah, but you CAN install a period accurate looking wind turbine in a yard.

[gentle vale]

LOLLL

[cedar wharf]

Alternatively, Texans can just vote out the idiot republicans who run our power grid, but that would never happen.

Republicans are stronger than ever done here, with most of their new support coming from people concerned about immigra…mvm.

[unique terrace]

I'm so upset about the Texan energy grid. The day that they decided to decentralize the energy market was the day y'alls infrastructure died.

I used to work for a real estate tech company that would help monitor energy usage in commercial buildings and istg Texas was the worst state to work with because it's so confusing who manages the maintenance for each branch of the grid.

[cedar wharf]

The panels don’t work without the grid unless you also have a battery

[unique terrace]

And battery technology is nowhere where it needs to be for long term storage.

[gentle vale]

I don’t think my roof could support the pannels alone so 💀

I just think they should actually care about my lane. When we called the eletric company asking about our power they said we mattered less

[hallow epoch]

Ppl be tryna set up a wind farm off the coast of where i live and god i hope they can its been years of like fighting for it back and forth

[cedar wharf]

How old are you?

[unique terrace]

28

sorry

lol

[unique terrace]

They've been trying to do it FOREVER omg. But people are like "they're ugly" even though they wanted to put them over the horizon in the ocean.

[cedar wharf]

You lived in Texas?

[hallow epoch]

THATS THE ONLY BACKLASH I’VE SEEN FOR IT AND ITS UNACCEPTABLE!!! I much rather have ugly than no renewable energy that will help save us thousands!!!

Wind turbines arent even that ugly

[unique terrace]

No, VA. But my mom was in TX for the blizzards and the company I worked for had a lot of clients in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.

I was also the utilities expert for the company when it came to who would allow us to tap off of their meters for energy monitoring data.

[noble flame]

Scotland, most days is generating more from renewable than other sources. We have 5.5 million population here.

[hallow epoch]

God a population number like that just really puts into perspective how fucking huge america is

[noble flame]

27 states have a population less than ours, however those states have multiple the land mass. If those 27 states were given cheap renewable energy they may not know what to do. Only thing is renewable needs to have another source or two of energy like Nuclear and Hydro Electric. Some gas also needs to be used too.

There’s been days that Scotland has had 100% renewable days too.

[hallow epoch]

I wish we could use geo energy like greenland (or was in iceland?) does

[noble flame]

Iceland with its energy from volcanic sources is brilliant.

[cedar wharf]

There are alot of nice things we don’t have because of republicans

[noble flame]

Listen, I’m not saying Scotland is perfect, it’s far from it. Glasgow, my city, has an atrocious Drug problem. We lack social housing like mad.

[cedar wharf]

Where are the drugs coming from?

[noble flame]

Drugs are coming from Afghanistan. The problem has got beyond a joke post Trumps disastrous withdrawal agreement from there. Also the same places as the USA like South America.

[cedar wharf]

Who’s is bringing drugs from Afghanistan 💀

[flat coral]

i can 🔥

I mean probably not all the amendments but 😭😭

[noble flame]

I personally want to legalise them all, give drug manufacturers the license to produce them to a standard. And take the tax money in return. There’s a study that is you make drugs legal, then the physiological effect of doing something illegal takes the edge off.

[near wharf]

until they harm your family, and then what?

[cedar wharf]

Yeah, make all drugs legal imo

[noble flame]

The dealers. That’s how some drugs start. But a couple million quid of poppy seeds and turn it into herroin. Then bulk it out with lots of bulking agents, some use washing powder and chalk here.

[unique terrace]

don't fear monger about immigrants. we're not discussing this.

[cedar wharf]

[noble flame]

Lee Zedlin to EPA.

[royal badge]

Mawmaw and pawpaw aren’t happy about something

[cedar wharf]

It’s a cult

[royal badge]

Can we just pick up gen x and send them to a remote island or something

[near wharf]

lets do the same with illegal immigrants, especially those who hurt people

[royal badge]

My honest reaction

[nimble mason]

can we dial down the toxicity a bit

[unique terrace]

Y'all

If you can't be kind

I'll put you in jail

silence jail

❤️

k thx bye

[noble flame]

I can’t wait till the gamer boys and gals who stream get their PS5 Pro for 40% more than it would be under Kamala.

[nimble mason]

itll be interesting to poll how many people understand tariffs

[nimble furnace]

anyone who hurts someone gets punishment, yet not every illegal immigrant hurts people. some are just trying to escape terrible situations or trying to improve their life

[hallow epoch]

Cant wait for my parents to bitch about the economy only for me to swoop and and say i told you so

[placid jacinth]

Same for my dad (he’s a trump supporter)

He didn’t vote, but ik he likes bro

[hallow epoch]

My parents did vote trump unfortunately 😭

[placid jacinth]

And it’s one of the reasons why I moved out his home and into my mom and step dads

[placid jacinth]

Rip, ik 2 of my og neighbors who are trump diehards

[hallow epoch]

I so badly wanna move out but i have no where to go and no money

[placid jacinth]

Been there before 😭

[near wharf]

so why dont they do it LEGALLY?

[nimble furnace]

because they’re desperate

[wide pawn]

Seeking asylum is technically a legal form of immigration

[placid jacinth]

Desperate situations require desperate decisions

[near wharf]

doesnt matter. they need to do it legally. either that or get deported and face a 10 year ban🤷‍♂️

[nimble furnace]

have you been in the situation yourself?

[near wharf]

so the 2 million people just walking across got asylum when they got their debit card and a 5 star hotel in nyc?

[wide pawn]

Where do you see 5 star hotel?

[near wharf]

ive been to the border and just watched people walk across the border…and get into a bus that drives them to god knows where

[near wharf]

its on the news😂

[nimble furnace]

they don’t just get free stuff like that, it’s not a holiday for them it could be their first time being somewhere that’s relatively safe.

[wide pawn]

I didn't know this, can I see a source? I'm genuinely curious

[near wharf]

it doesnt matter. do it legally.😂 or get deported and face a 10 year ban. now they really in trouble

[nimble furnace]

if they weren’t desperate those rules would deter them. everyone deserves safety

[near wharf]

so do it legally. applications and stuff take like a week max maybe 2 weeks

[nimble furnace]

they don’t, and some people don’t even have that much time

have you experienced this before?

[near wharf]

that isnt my problem.

[nimble furnace]

how can you be this heartless?

[near wharf]

my best friend was in a terrible situation, she did everything legally and she is here in the usa. yet her best friend from mexico and her family came here illegally and got picked up and deported and is currently on a 8 year ban

[near wharf]

not heartless. just follow the rules. simple.

[near wharf]

fox news

[nimble furnace]

not everyone can do it legally though, weather that be because they can’t write or read, or if they don’t have the time or simply if no one has educated them on how to do it

[hallow epoch]

Girl i was just in this toxic conversation with another person, drop it, they wont change 😭

Its not worth your mental health

Xenophobic gonna stay xenophobic 😭

[near wharf]

ahh yes. because they don’t understand a LICK of english and they are desperate “welcome to the usa. please dont break the law”

also @hallow epoch come to my dms

[nimble furnace]

so do you truly believe people immigrate illegally into the us to harm people?

[near wharf]

you are literally misinterpreting my words. read it again

[nimble furnace]

well you said before that illegal immigrants harm people

[raven adder]

💀

[near wharf]

so do they not?

[nimble furnace]

do us citizens not harm people?

[near wharf]

i was once democrat. and voted democrat, now im republican

[nimble furnace]

if you can vote why do you not have the senior swiftie role 😭

[raven adder]

i don’t care about that but it’s funny you think fox news is a reliable source of “news”

[hallow epoch]

Shush i dont want them in there with us

[nimble furnace]

some people are just genuinely insane and heartless

[near wharf]

because i dont want it?

[nimble furnace]

technically lying about your age but okayyy

[near wharf]

technically not but okayyy

[nimble mason]

aoc posted this

voters who voted for aoc AND trump 😭

[flat coral]

very interesting

[flat coral]

nah I disagree with this person on a lot of things too but this is such a random thing to accuse them of 😭

[plain harbor]

y'all are no better than those MAGA supporters who said the election was fake

kamala was so mature about it, but some of her supporters are so immature

[sonic wedge]

i mean, you should expect people to think like this

[nimble furnace]

if votes are missing surely we should all be concerned

[flat coral]

there are no votes missing

[nimble furnace]

people’s mail in ballots haven’t been counted

[flat coral]

im pretty sure they have

even if they haven’t it wouldn’t change the election, it wasn’t close

[nimble furnace]

i highly doubt trump didn’t cheat

[flat coral]

you sound like maga in 2020 😭

[nimble furnace]

nah ppl just had no reason to vote for him 😭

[nimble mason]

trump won with almost the same amount of votes he got in 2020.
democrats didn't vote like they did in 2020.

[flat coral]

harris also just failed to get the straight white guy vote

[pine quest]

you think americans vote with logic and reasoning?

[flat coral]

a bunch of 18-21 year old white men used their first vote to vote for trump cause they think he has aura 😭😭

[wintry remnant]

I'm going to vehemently disagree with this unless January 6th 2025 has an incident

[placid jacinth]

You sound like a maga droid from 2020. Just accept the results of this election, yes it’s not the outcome we wanted yes it not what we fought and prayed for, but at the end of the day you sound no better than those maga supporters from 2020 and worst of all trump himself. Let’s be the mature ones here and show maga that we actually know how to accept defeat.

[placid jacinth]

All bc he was on the Joe Rogan podcast which is absurd 💀

“Omg he was on the Joe Rogan podcast, shit fuck Kamala im voting for him!! He knows Joe Rogan omg!!”

[flat coral]

he also has a cool picture of his fist in the air!!

[wide pawn]

Kamala probably should have went on Rogan tbh

But also Elon Musk is part of the blame too

[cedar wharf]

https://vxtwitter.com/meidastouch/status/1856095541148713384?s=46&t=xNpQeQTS7WGrjVP5P4VhXw

[placid jacinth]

I mean.. you can’t lie.. that’s a hard pic. As much as I hate the dude gotta draw truth where it lays. And from that day on out a lot of ppl predicted he was gonna win bc of that pic

[placid jacinth]

Would it have changed the outcome? We’ll never know. Maybe or maybe not.

[flat coral]

It is but it’s not gonna make me vote for him 😭

[placid jacinth]

Yea I mean im not saying that’s gonna make me vote for anyone regarding the candidate but it is a hard pic. Now if you voted bro bc he went on the Joe Rogan podcast or bc he had his fist in the air.. then you should seriously reconsider your life choices.

[wide pawn]

The assassination attempt definitely helped him in PA

[flat coral]

Trump voters love to say Harris didn’t communicate her policies well enough but 90% of the time they can’t name a Trump policy

That’s a generalization obviously but a lot of the ones I’ve seen don’t know what they’re talking about

[nimble furnace]

but trump will destroy peace and people’s lives. kamala wouldn’t and thats the difference. it is not right that he won

[placid jacinth]

I get that. We all get that. But yk what also isn’t right? Denying the election results. Unless there is literal proof that it was rigged or that he cheated that isn’t some rumor from a TikTok or twitter account, then you shouldn’t be denying the election results. It’s one thing to hate the results and it’s one thing to deny and say it was rigged.

[nimble furnace]

there is proof though, people’s votes weren’t counted

[placid jacinth]

Can you provide me 3 sources that say that where this rumor ISNT stemmed from a TikTok or twitter account?

[nimble furnace]

they’re screenshots from ppls emails and stuff that i cant find rn but they were clearly not faked

[placid jacinth]

Until im sourced with literal proof your claim holds no bar of strength. And even if your claim did hold full or partial truth, what is that gonna change? It’s not like trump won by a few points.. he won by a landslide.

If this was a much closer election, I think it’d be safe to say that yea it could do smth.

[nimble furnace]

i find it hard to believe THAT many ppl voted for him

[pine quest]

it takes a few buttons and a google search to realize a recount cannot be legally held

[placid jacinth]

Well there are tons of ppl that like trump for some odd reason. And that’s the unfortunate fact of this case.

[nimble furnace]

he’s literally a criminal 😭 like why would anyone wanna vote him

[naive robin]

they didn't know any better

[placid jacinth]

Bc this nation chose to not do some very simple research.

[naive robin]

it's the way this is real too his policies were trending drastically AFTER the polls closed

[nimble furnace]

if he does actually end up getting in it’s gonna mess up the whole world

[flat coral]

well he was kind of elected

believe me I don’t want him in office either but he won the election

[nimble furnace]

he’s not 100% in yet, the electoral college stuff still needs to happen where people COULD go against him

it’s unlikely tho

[pine quest]

it’s over bruh just hold that L

[nimble furnace]

not until the electoral college

[placid jacinth]

You’re no better than a maga droid. But no point in debating.

[nimble furnace]

well to start i don’t support trump so it makes me much better than them 😭

[placid jacinth]

Not if you’re denying the results.

[pine quest]

stage 1, denial

[nimble furnace]

i’m not even american but i’m just more worried abt what will happen to ukraine

[pine quest]

he also legally cant be imprisoned because of his presidency

[flat coral]

wtf are you talking about 😭

[flat coral]

isn’t that only for actions done in office

I forget if the hush money was when he was in office or not

[pine quest]

https://youtu.be/xHe4dqW6bjo?si=4j43pQjW2t0n2mAh

the constitution cockblocks once again

[nimble furnace]

the electoral college votes in december i think, the vote goes to someone in the party that got voted in in each state to vote on behalf of the state but they could theoretically vote for another party

[flat coral]

i mean i guess but there’s not gonna be 44 faithless electors

[nimble furnace]

yeah thats why i said theoretically

[wide pawn]

He won and he will be president again on January 20th. It's that simple

[nimble furnace]

it’s not 100% yet, more like 99.9% likely that he will be president 😭

[wide pawn]

Yeah the 0.1% chance being that he dies

[nimble furnace]

i don’t think it’s close enough to him actually being in office to say he’ll definitely be president

more like he will probably be president

[unique terrace]

It's more likely that congress will get him declared incompetent for office than the electoral college not voting with the popular vote.

I'm not excited for Vance to have his hands in anything

That guy makes my skin crawn and sends a chill up my spine

[hallow epoch]

Trump won because most voters wanted a better economy and believe trump could give that, harris did not help her case when she said she wasnt gonna do anything biden didnt do which meant to a lot of voters that the economy was just gonna stay the same: bad. Anyone who is denying the outcome is denying reality

[unique terrace]

the campaign alienated so many voters

I'm so mad

[hallow epoch]

It sucks SO MUCH but this what happened, america has voted red much more than this election and we can pull through again this time hopefully

[nimble furnace]

i wonder if their campaign would’ve been stronger if brat was never released 😭

[unique terrace]

I'm not excited that my rights to my womb are collateral damage.

We'll see if anything actually goes through before midterms, but I'm a little scared guys. What if I'm not allowed to get another IUD after this?

[hallow epoch]

It would have been stronger if she advertised stronger platforms she was for, and targeted more on upbringing the economy, my most important policy is rights for trans people and women but as proven by this election most voters only care about their circumstances. Memes wasnt ever gonnna help her campaign

[unique terrace]

Memes helped her youth outreach, but her lack of enumerated economic policy and certain foreign policy decisions really made them turn on her.

[hallow epoch]

Im worried for my birth control patch :( it severally helps me live my day to day life while on my period without it i would be in so much pain

[unique terrace]

same for my iud. I don't even bleed anymore so it's also a huge money saver.

Not that I hadn't already switched to cups at this point.

[hallow epoch]

DAMN! Must be so nice 😭😭😭 i wish mine stopped my bleeding

[hallow epoch]

Oo do you have any recommendations?!? Ofc in dms tho

[unique terrace]

not really. they're all kind of the same.

[hallow epoch]

Damn 😭

Been tryna do research to what i should start with but got no clue

[unique terrace]

hello, saalt or diva brand are all decent. The only real difference is shape and all of them have different sizes I think.

[hallow epoch]

Thanks for the tip! /gen

[unique terrace]

Hey, y'all if you go to a public school, please write/email/call your congresspeople. Please protect the department of education.

Public institutions need funding to exist and the DOE does that work.

[placid jacinth]

I’ll write this down on my to do list for this week.

[unique terrace]

It is also beholden to federal laws about accessibility meaning public institutions MUST keep education accessible for Americans with disabilities

[flat coral]

hope you guys end up alright 🙏🙏

[gentle vale]

They are going to keep it but it is going to become way worse

Before 1980 ( when the DoED was established ) they did have some services but not a lot. As well before 1980 not a lot of kids got diagnosed with learning disorders even if they and them . This was due to not having the DoED and the stigma alround learning disability’s

We all know trump makes fun of people with mental and learning disorders so issues with special education he will not care about

Sorry I could go on and on about this it is all very frustrating

[gentle vale]

So people with disabilities will technically have resources but they would be limited and subpar

This also heavenly depends on the state and town you live in. States with poor education in poor towns will struggle the most

[red flame]

Doubt it, despite a lot of states being red there are still a lot of people who voted blue that live in those states who also deserve the opportunity to see their favorite artist

@OldManLefty1 As a small business owner in Texas, it gets really old having illegals come in and do a job for 1/3 of the price that everyone else would charge. And they can do this because they only accept cash, which also means they don’t pay income tax because they don’t report anything to

what I think the main reason why kamala lost was because all her campaign was indentity politics and blaming men

like recession "men!" misandry is just to common now adays.

https://www.npr.org/2024/11/09/g-s1-33601/fema-worker-hurricane-trump-signs-florida

A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she told a team responding to hurricane survivors to not go to homes with yard signs showing support for President-elect Donald Trump, the agency said.
_ _
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell called the employee’s action “reprehensible,” and said the matter had been referred to the Office of Special Counsel.

There is a channel where you can talk about politics and other stuff like that but it’s restricted to 18+ only which is why I kinda wanted this one to stay open

[cedar wharf]

18+ means a lot of things. I have a feeling if we take politics in there they will complain about us being political

[placid jacinth]

Nah, it’s a channel where this kinda of stuff is usually more expected to be talked about for a reason it’s 18+

If being political was an issue this thread wouldn’t exist

[bronze zinc]

[bronze zinc]

He doesn't have the power to do it. The President doesn't have any ability to cancel US elections, certainly not after they've already happened. You'd have to change the entire Constitution, for which you need to call a Constitutional convention and have three-fourths of the states ratify it. That is 38 states. Which is NEVER going to happen.

When he told me that I nearly lost my shit.

[bronze zinc]

Also I'll just say this about that ridiculous proposal to "cancel" the US election. Even if Biden went crazy and did something like that, you are going to witness actual civil war on the soil of America. That is some country-ending nonsense

[placid jacinth]

Just guess. Guess how most of us in this thread feel.

Guess how I felt when my classmate told me today that trump “keeps it real”.

[bronze zinc]

The point is you don't expect anything from Republicans. You should be expecting more from Democrats other than the lazy campaign they ran

[placid jacinth]

Take a wild guess. I promise it’s 1+1

[flat coral]

Me when I was talking to a classmate who I thought was liberal and when I made a comment about trump being an idiot he said “kamala is an idiot too haven’t you heard her speak??”

[cedar wharf]

Heard a Latino guy on TV say that Trump says what he thinks and doesn’t care what others think about it

[flat coral]

to be fair doesn’t mean he likes trump but i disagree with it

[cedar wharf]

I was like cool…so the same as a toddler?

[placid jacinth]

Yes I do expect something from republicans. And that’s that they see the shitty leader they have running their party.

[open cosmos]

Kamala was the best shot they had

Any other candidate would have lost even more

[placid jacinth]

But no not even that they could notice. Hell not even research they could fucking do.

[flat coral]

yeah no this is a bad take

[placid jacinth]

What 💀

[bronze zinc]

The Republican party has been completely hijacked by the MAGA movement. All the neocons have been pushed out. It is the party of Trump now

[flat coral]

any candidate was probably doomed to fail because it was a 100 day campaign but there were probably better picks than harris in terms of getting votes

[placid jacinth]

He doesn’t give a fuck about the American ppl

[bronze zinc]

It was probably doomed the moment Biden announced he'll be running for re-election, after promising in 2020 he would be a one-time president

[flat coral]

yeah he never should’ve even tried to run again

[placid jacinth]

Funny you say this bc my democratic neighbor also told me this but in different words. “There are 3 party’s, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and the Trump Party.”

[dawn sigil]

Harris is extremely qualified and should've been elected but for votes picking a black woman is a death sentence

[hallow epoch]

Nah bernie would have been a better canidate

[flat coral]

this is kinda real

[dawn sigil]

He's another old white man

[bronze zinc]

And?

[placid jacinth]

It is real. There are tons of republicans that hate trump.

[flat coral]

I have nothing against republicans but it’s hard for me because for most of my life the republican party has been trump 😭

[bronze zinc]

The obsession with race needs to stop, it's so cringe

[placid jacinth]

I have nothing against them but I do have a lot against the trump party

[bronze zinc]

Bernie had that populist streak that resonated with working class America

[dawn sigil]

I don't want anyone over 75 to run this country. He's wise and better than trump and biden but still extremely old

[flat coral]

I don’t see why bernie being a white guy makes him any less qualified

[open cosmos]

Bernie would have done even worse because all the neo nazis

[flat coral]

Obviously he’s not gonna run anymore 😭 he was younger when he was actually trying to run

[hallow epoch]

I still havent watch video but honestly my sympathy for anyone who supports trump has dried up, they should get aid and not getting it cuz beliefs is a crime and should not be occurring but do i feel sorry for them? No

[bronze zinc]

Then you do not have any idea what you are talking about

[hallow epoch]

Girl have you heard bernie talk? Even conservatives admit they like him

[flat coral]

I guess he was still like 75 in 2016 but he’s much more capable than biden or trump

[bronze zinc]

You don't know how many Bernie voters voted Trump this time

[dawn sigil]

This may be a hot take but I think it's time to have a non christian president

[flat coral]

I guess but I don’t think it really matters

[bronze zinc]

Will literally not happen this century. It took 300 years for the first Catholic to become President lol

[open cosmos]

Need the first gay president

Or trans president

[bronze zinc]

And I don't see why it matters when America is overwhelmingly Christian

[flat coral]

Buttigieg would be fire but I don’t think america is electing a gay man for a while

[placid jacinth]

We can’t even get a female president which is sad, that isn’t happening for god knows how much time.

[bronze zinc]

Those social identities matter far less than you think. People's primary priorities are the economy and putting food on the table

[dawn sigil]

A lot of republican states have things that are subliminally or outwardly religious

And while it isn't as important as having a first female president, it's still something i would like to happen in my lifetime

[nimble furnace]

because not every american is christian

[open cosmos]

Yes

[bronze zinc]

But most are. And democracy reflects the opinion of the majority of a country

[open cosmos]

Religion should have no place in the government

Despite republicans constantly pushing religious stuff in the government

[nimble furnace]

also no religion is confirmed to be true

[bronze zinc]

That's why it's called "faith"

[nimble furnace]

well yeah but that faith shouldn’t be pushed on ppl

[bronze zinc]

I agree with that

[flat coral]

I don’t think religion has anything to do with policy unless they’re super religious so I don’t really care what their religion is

[bronze zinc]

People don't realise just how religious America truly is

[placid jacinth]

Yea like if trump wasn’t talking about trying to push schools to include a religious class, don’t forget that 😭

[dawn sigil]

I want more anti hate policies to be enacted

[bronze zinc]

And religiosity in America is only going to increase in the near future with more migration from Latin America

[open cosmos]

Religion shouldn't affect laws whatsoever

Republicans shouldn't be able to make it to where if a gay or trans person needs life saving care that the doctor etc can refuse to treat them because it goes against their Religion

[bronze zinc]

Doctors cannot refuse care based on identity

[open cosmos]

That's what trump has constantly pushed

[nimble furnace]

schools should have religion classes, but they should teach abt different cultures and not say that only one religion is true

[open cosmos]

And other Republicans

[dawn sigil]

It's harder to understand the struggles of minority religions if you aren't one, it's possible, but not as easy

[open cosmos]

Republicans have constantly tried pushing that into law

Yes

And peelon musk as co-leader of department of government efficiency

[placid jacinth]

I mean… there are certain classes that very briefly touch on religion and when I say briefly I say like dipping your toes in water type of briefly. But if they’re gonna offer it however, I believe it shouldn’t affect the amount of other classes that exist. What do I mean? For example, let’s say a school implements a religion class on Christianity and a religion class centered around Catholics, I feel like implementing those shouldnt eliminate any other classes. In other words “We’re implementing a Christianity religion class, but we’re getting rid of psychology or calculus.” In addition to that it shouldn’t be forced and shouldn’t be treated as a graduation requirement.

[naive robin]

we're so over

[dawn sigil]

Religious studies should be touched in humanities curriculums and an elective in high school

[dawn sigil]

Move to India forever...

[dim kindle]

Where are you gonna be easily invaded lol

All he's gonna do is go predict the weather on when we get taken over

[nimble furnace]

in the uk you have to do religious studies from year 7 - year 9 and after that it’s optional, i feel like this is a very effective way to do it

[placid jacinth]

If you experiment taking certain classes you’ll see religion be mentioned here and there. I took ap human geography last school year and one of the topics was religion and the different kinds of religion. Nothing too deep but they talked about it.

[naive robin]

i feel like religion classes should just be optional overall

[placid jacinth]

That’s the uk, but here you shouldn’t have to be forced to take a religious class.

[dawn sigil]

I love studying religions

[dawn sigil]

It was touched on in my world history class but nobody took it seriously and everyone asked me for answers

[placid jacinth]

And I will defend that. It should be the students option and curiosity.

[placid jacinth]

Yes, and not forced or affect other courses

[nimble furnace]

i think it should be as mandatory as a class like maths or english because being aware of different cultures is so incredibly important

[placid jacinth]

I don’t remember it being touched in my world history class, but I do remember it being touched in my ap class last year

[dawn sigil]

It should be on humanities curriculums throughout middle-high school

[nimble furnace]

yes i agree with this

[placid jacinth]

Forcing a student to take a class against their will is a big no for me. Math English history and science I understand, but we shouldn’t be forcing students to take religion. I get the importance of needing to know about other cultures, but it shouldn’t be forced upon

[nimble furnace]

from year 7-9 here you have to do every subject (i think i had to do like 18 subjects??) so it’s probably much different in my mind to be forced to do it

[naive robin]

why not just put in social studies or those kind of subjects if you're going to learn religion spefically for culture? /genq

[nimble furnace]

i think i learnt abt cultures in both geography and religious studies and maybe a bit in history idk

[placid jacinth]

It prob is. But I don’t think ppl here would want to be forced to sit in a religious class.

[placid jacinth]

I learned it very briefly in human geography.

[naive robin]

been there,, wasn't a fun time

[nimble furnace]

an hour a week of this class though is all we had so idk,

[placid jacinth]

I mean there are some social studies/social science classes that touch on religion but not like how a religion class would

[hallow epoch]

Fucking hated social studies

[dawn sigil]

I loved social studies

[placid jacinth]

I’m sure it wasn’t. I can’t imagine having to wake up and be like damn it I have to go to math reading and religion? Ppl alr get pissy with math English science and history as it is 😭

[naive robin]

religions are pretty much impossible to be removed in education; it's gonna be touched in some way or another,, i just don't think it should be mandatory to have one spefically for religion

[hallow epoch]

Yall DIDNT learn about other religions in history??

[placid jacinth]

Not rlly

I learned briefly more about it in my social science class

[naive robin]

i only learned the significance of it - architectures, people, etc

[nimble furnace]

i went to another school for a year that didn’t have a religion class and you learnt about cultures for like 20 mins a week? i can’t really remember now but i think it’s really important

[placid jacinth]

The way I feel about it is this: should schools offer it? Sure! Should it be mandatory? Absolutely not.

[naive robin]

currently (forcefully) taking one right now (buddhism),, it's a great religion honestly but at the same time it's just boring and all

[naive robin]

^^ this

[placid jacinth]

The only way I can see it’s important very important like die hard important is if you’re one of those ppl who make a living traveling to different countries. Other than that if you’re not planning on doing all that it shouldn’t be a big deal.

[naive robin]

i also had religion classes for both islam and christianity yeah no that was not fun

[placid jacinth]

I would hate being forced to take smth against my will like that

[nimble furnace]

the one i did was like an overview of ethics and religion and it was only an hour a week for 3 years

but then again ur forced to do every subject for those 3 years

[naive robin]

serves as my sleeping time tbh no one cares about the class

[placid jacinth]

Yea I mean like I said, if you’re one of those ppl who make a living traveling to different countries you’d prob be writing every word said from that professor other wise you’re more centered to what interests you most.

[naive robin]

cultural significance yeah that's what i got the most out of it

Also, the burning of the books really matches history too

You know what I had to do during the weekend? I had to put my pride flag away, and put my books that have LGBT themes away because I'm worried that people find out that I am gay and arrest me later on. Because this will get worse for my community

At first the jews where?
Told that they couldn't have a job if they were part of that religion, but then it escalated, so that's what it will do for my community as well so I have to hide in the closet because of you guys who voted for him.Thank you so much.

Legit dug up your grave.LIE in it

Why does it matter? You're not even in that country, so it's not going to infect you whatever happens there.

[sonic wedge]

oh!

[vapid nova]

I know you aren’t intentionally doing this but those comparisons are at best insensitive and at worst very deeply hurtful to people who still face the consequences of the events that took place (unsure if this word is automodded) and can really isolate jewish voices in participating

[open cosmos]

It's not insensitive when trump literally looks up to hitler and wants to be a dictator on day one

And him wanting generals like hitler had

He fully wants to destroy the country

[sonic wedge]

not intended to be rude, but if someone is telling you that your behaviour is insensitive, it is insensitive, especially if that person is someone from the community you are being insensitive towards

[vapid nova]

I am responding to you as someone who is not only Jewish but does a ton of professional work in the field of holocaust education

[sonic wedge]

DOGE as in...

[vapid nova]

”When the suffering of a people is introduced into that of another as a means of comparison, it diminishes the suffering of both. Rather than focusing on the victims of the events currently unfolding, it becomes a debate on who had it worse — what Dr. Waxman calls “unpleasant and unnecessary hierarchies of suffering” — completely undermining the entire conversation.”

[sonic wedge]

again, not to be rude, but i think the internet needs to learn that you can criticise a person without being insensitive to an entire community like what has just happened now

[vapid nova]

”Attempting to compare one event with others will always result in the inevitable diminishing of the victims’ suffering — precisely because they cannot be compared.” basically what i’m saying is you do a disservice not only to the memory of the victims of the holocaust but also your argument by comparison

They haven’t explicitly stated “I hate him” or anything but have more or less showed there disapproval with the recurring theme of “harsh questions” I think it was only Collins and Simpson that really showed their disapproval.

Yussss

Do you think we could vote the next election cycle?

[wide pawn]

Yeah... I might question the legitimacy. Republicans have been actively working to restrict voting rights for years

Rigged elections won't look like ballots being improperly counted. They'll look like entire demographic groups somehow having 12+ hour long lines to the point that enough leave and not vote

Btw... this is already happening. Black voters in GA have to wait in much longer lines than rural white voters in GA because they've been restricting the amount of polling places in black neighborhoods

[flat coral]

isnt that like against the constitution and against what the entire country stands for lol

[unique terrace]

Every single thing that isn't specifically noted in the constitution is left up to the states and is fair game for people to manipulate or update as they deem appropriate.

Which is why it's super important to vote in local and state elections.

We SHOULD make gerrymandering illegal, but both sides do it to benefit them.

So they won't let it happen.

If we just voted by county it would be so much easier.

Because voting district does not always = county

Dems will fix things and then republicans will mess them up again. Repeat

The states up for re-election:

Pretty good chance the house goes blue in 2026. Republicans are on track to win 1 LESS seat this year than they did in 2022. That's bad news for them going into 2026

Dems best hope of retaking the senate is running Sherrod Brown to fill Vance's seat, take NC, unseat Collins, and make a bold move for Iowa or Alaska

The fact is the whole world suffered from the after effects of covid. America had the strongest recovery from it. Our inflation wasn't as bad as most other countries. Our GDP growth is the strongest in the world.
