What’s really funny about Trump winning Latino votes in Florida is that when surveyed, they went Trump for “the economy”. So… my comment stands.

But yes as a Canadian, the results of the US election and the performance of the Democratic party are things I’ll personally need to “look in the mirror” about.

Alternatively, I can appreciate how dumb American voters are, as 70 million of them vote to actively make their lives much worse. <3

The “this is extremely dangerous to our democracy” wasn’t a jab at the Sinclair Media Group’s “this is extremely dangerous to our democracy” campaign some years ago? Which was definitely a media conspiracy to push a narrative.

If that wasn’t a reference and just accidentally the exact phrase, oops. If it was, then the implication that the democratic party’s media machine was manipulating consistent messaging was pretty clear.

Berkshire Hathaway had built up $300B in cash reserves - maybe Warren decided it was time to buy?

Guy making $8/hr: the economy is better now

When multiple people quote somebody’s statement, having each quote say the same thing isn’t a conspiracy…

Eh… I’m sure that’s the case for some people, but a lot of left and right wing people seem to think democracy=my ideas winning. Those people seem to think Trump winning is not reflective of the (very shitty) will of the people.

Yeah uh, I really really hate to say it, but… democracy worked this time. The voice of the people is “Trump please”. Democracy just means you get what most people want, not what the best option is.

But that’s also not Arnold - he’s publicly said that he arrived with like $20 in his pocket but he is not a self made man, he’s a community made man. He’s not a “bootstrap” believer, he’s very vocally against that mentality too.

He’s true old school Republican, where they have some misguided beliefs about national debt but aren’t absolute loons.

E: quick Google gives this https://youtu.be/DOldEbWxgdQ?si=uJ8_CsHzoUBHTbH4

Theres better vids of it, but still - Arnold has been pretty consistently a level headed guy politically, even if he’s not right all the time.

Based and “unfunded tax cuts are theft” pilled

Sorry for the brain rot

Approval voting is also good. Really any of the alternatives create more representative outcomes.

NCD leaking lmao

Not to mention this is essentially the same line of reasoning Repubs keep using to make voting worse for everyone. Can’t give out water in line to vote because you might be “buying votes”, so you gotta wait in line 6 hours in the hot sun if you’re in a poor district.

But hey, totally cool when it’s ol Musky doin it for cash not for health!

Well that’s just nifty. Thanks for letting me know!

That is a fun fact! What’s the difference?

Bud this is a US politics community. Using standard American TLAs (three letter acronyms ;) ) in an American community when discussing an American article is completely acceptable imo.

No point in getting a little spicy when you’re the one out of place - “when in Rome”, yeah?

Man I thought this was a solid “thanks Obama” use given his weak defense of Crimea brought us directly to this point. Damn.

Thanks Obama

If the average case is 20 minutes and you saved 21 minutes doing a less good solution that still worked, you made the right choice.

Wanna make a difference? Get some of these stickers and slap em up everywhere. I’ve still got a few left over to put places.

Go to your city “public opinion” sessions on zoning and highway design. One of our new circumferential highways has the first inverted diamond because some radical urbanists sandbagged the public hearing. Showing up to these things can make a big impact.

Both. 1980s Era civil/traffic engineers in NA were all trained for car=future=build road. Nowadays most traffic engineering/city planning schools teach multimodal transportation as The Way, but decades of car washing our cities has resulted in an almost total collapse of public support for anything except another lane. Luckily, most people sub-30 are aware of this and are slowly becoming politically active. Public opinion will shift slowly over the next decade or two and eventually the traffic engineers will be allowed to do the right thing.
