  • I’d say Republicans are good at saying thing that appeal to human emotions, not talking.

    To hell if they really go through what they promise. And they will take credit for things they have no parts in because it riles up their base.

    I mean, what was Trump platform exactly? The concept of a plan. Same as Doug Ford.

    Still, they were elected.

    At this point, the Democrats saving grace would be to go more left and proposing actual progressive programs and ditch the status quo. But the brass of the DNC don’t have the interest of the people first.

    I disagree that the left is bad at talking, it’s the North American culture that sucks at dealing with confrontation and dealing with things they disagree with. Any once of heated debate is too much and is seen as a big conflict instead of a healthy thing. So instead, any disagreement is automatically brought to the extreme because it is taken personally.

    Anyways, this is a complex subject and there are many things that needs to be done differently.

    It’s just like for Windows , but we’re so used to the software that we’ve learned to work around.

    When you switch, you are met with productivity loss and learning new quirks, which makes the experience less than stellar.

    In today’s context, for the vast majority of people, if it isn’t easy to use, they won’t use it because pretty much every app and software has become plug and play (except niche software that looks like windows 3.1)








  • Whether it’s ignorance or hate, 70+ millions people voted for Fascism.

    If you are an adult, see what Trump is saying about persons of color or by the person they attracted to, and you are okay with that, it doesn’t matter if it’s from ignorance or hate.

    My view switched on the US (and Canada at the same time) after this election. Republicans are irrevocably racists, sexist and homophobic. The US got the government they deserve, and we will too.

    It sucks because it will impact the world negatively, but at this point nothing I do about that will make any difference. I am just angry because Trump’s victory will bolster Poilievre and the CPC and we will suffer the same dumb shit here.




  • Because of FPTP, that means that the GOP will have the presidency for a long time because the Democrats vote would be split.

    And if that is the case, you can be sure that no voting reform will happen, bringing back the two party system.

    It’s the natural evolution of FPTP system.

    The best case scenario would be for the Democratic party to prop up a political reform as one of their main issue, in the hope that the voters will give them the presidency, senate and house to do just that.

    But the DNC would have to follow through will all of that if they get to that point, which probably won’t happen.

    So yeah, it looks bleak no matter how you look at it.

    This is all excuses. The fact that Trump made it all the way as the primary candidate for the GOP means that Republicans were okay with what he said and what he did.

    For a normal person, it shouldn’t even take a second to choose Harris. But this isn’t the case. Trump won the popular vote and the presidency despite all the crazy shit because a sizeable part of the citizens voted him in regardless of the reason.

    And not only that, but Republicans won the senate and well on their way to win the house.

    It is about to get real bad, and Americans have themselves to blame for that.
