Bummer :/

If it’s a site you use often, right-click and “block element” is your friend. Might be able to sus out a universal block as well if you dig around the different elements there.

The notion that he cares about anyone other than himself is laughable. He has nothing to gain from the party if he’s not in office anymore, and he’ll burn it all down before he gets dragged out.

10 million more american voters voted for donald trump this time than did the last time

This absolutely untrue. He got less votes than he did last time.

2020 - 74,223,975

2024 - 74,120,203

What is there to jeopardize? As long as he has the office, the dumbasses who helped him can’t do shit once they realize their massive mistake. What are they gonna do? Not vote for him again? If he shockingly doesn’t fuck with current term limits and elections, he’s not up for election again. If he predictably does, their vote is meaningless since he’s not going to leave the remotest chance things don’t go his way.

Probably why they said “urges” instead of “instructs”.

I read it as " Trump, Chicken Fucker".

But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn’t even matter to anyone.

That’s not calling out hypocrisy. That’s saying people should care.

There are lots of things they do that’re scandalous. That’s not one of them. There’s already enough puritanical bullshit fucking up the US. It’s about time some of it were left in the past.

Ah, ok. I see that now. That sucks.

Doesn’t this change the meaning of the statement so much that it’s no longer true that every citizen of age who is a resident is eligible to vote?

I don’t see how it would, but maybe I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. The eligibility of the people in the article did not change. “Only” vs “Every” still includes the same group of people.

What did change was the explicit exclusion of people outside of those qualifiers. This could potentially make challenging votes of “questionable” voters that much more impactful or difficult to defend against, and maybe make adjusting the existing qualifiers harder (the only one I can really think of is age), but that depends on WI’s amendment process, which I don’t know.

Goal-post yeeting aside (first “off the couch”, now “no time to sleep”?), barring actual factual voter suppression, there’s little-to-no valid excuse in the US to not vote at all. Only 3 states have zero early-voting or vote-by-mail options (for now). The thing with democracy is that everyone shares responsibility to take part. Shirking that responsibility doesn’t absolve anyone of guilt, more so the opposite. Now democracy very well may not be an option again, so no, I’m not going to spend much time empathizing with the people that enabled that.

I didn’t say Gaza, and it doesnt matter why they couldn’t be bothered. Their share remains the same.

Hard to see people as allies who are willing to let the world burn because the only other option wasn’t perfect. The campaign fucked up, for sure, but every voter that stayed home shares blame in this.

Depends on who’s in charge. 50%+ of the internet seems to be hosted by amazon and musk rules his little fiefdom. The call to be proactive isn’t unreasonable.

This shit is why I resist proprietary apps like this as much as I can. Removing functionality from the website and hiding it behind an app is so shitty and I’m not playing along just so they can sell off the info they get from it.

Not everything is about what we’re “required” to do. If op wants to apologize, why try and talk them out of it?

*Edit to add this clip since it’s been echoing in my head for weeks now and it’s relevant: https://files.catbox.moe/ozpjht.mp4

and you wouldn’t think that if it was Harris saying it.

I wouldn’t, because she doesn’t have years of violent rhetoric that would suggest she’s talking literally. He’s long lost the benefit of the doubt on what he “really” means, and any suggestion that his speech is innocent is either naive or complicit.

What if? That’s absolutely what they’re trying and they’ve said as much.

To clarify, Reagan and his appointees killed the Fairness Doctrine, which was an FCC policy that required broadcasters to provide equal coverage of political issues. The Equal Time Rule, on the other hand, only stipulates that broadcasters can’t deny equal access to some candidates that it gives to others, with the notable caveat that it doesn’t need to offer equal access to all candidates - they only need to provide it if asked. That rule (ETR) is still in effect, but it only means NBC needs to allow Trump equivalent time if he asks for it. So this trump-appointed FCC stooge is mischaracterizing his own agencies policy to cry “corruption”. What a pos.
