You lumped a huge percentage of people as putting their fingers in their ears.

Maga is going to vote maga. And there's a huge chunk that didn't vote or were surprised Biden dropped out. Those folks didn't put their fingers in their ears. Like Bernie said, they were ignored.

Ah yes, now that you made fun of the prior commenter, we have convinced the world and now Kamala is president?

Bernie is fucking right.

Probably because he's offering them a solution to there problems, deport the immigrants and bring manufacturing back. His plan is dumb and won't work but at least he's putting something forward unlike Harris who says everything will stay the same.

This is exactly what I was pointing out to my friends. Every one of us are making six figures, and could not understand why anybody would vote Trump.

And I asked them how many people in their lives are poor, living paycheck to paycheck. I have family members who are working two or three jobs to get by. All the work Biden did is not being seen or recognized by them.

Are they are under-educated yokels? Are they morons for not keeping up with politics? You can call them what ever you want. Theyre still a voter.

Face it: what they're hearing from Democrats vs what they're hearing from Trump are pretty clear cut and we can stay in this echo chamber all we want on Lemmy. Those folks aren't listening to us. They're just trying to survive and will vote accordingly.

If you're where I'm at, the homeless are actively vandalizing apartment complexes owned by real estate giants.

This was actually my life a few years ago.

I was hardening our applications to stop scraping and automation bots.

Then contributing to open-source to have better scraping and automation.

I wasn't purposely creating loop holes or anything because that's highly illegal. It's about making sure both sides "play nice", because the automation bots are frequently used by spammers/evildoers.

It's wild that there's so many stupid people who seem to have forgot what kind of shit Trump pulled during his administration.

I was laugh-crying when the EU made that comment about the fate of the world being on some rando US state.

America needs to be downgraded in terms of reputation. We aren't protectors of the world, we can barely help ourselves.

 

This year's International ShakeOut Day is October 17, when millions of people worldwide will participate in earthquake drills at work, school, or home!

At 10:17 am (local time) on 10/17, you can join people across Oregon practicing earthquake safety. While we encourage you to participate with everyone, you can register your ShakeOut drill for any day of the year, and drill at a time of your choice. You can also include people in multiple locations through video conferencing

I can't imagine who would be opposed to this that isn't brainwashed by corporations.

 

If approved, Measure 118 would institute a 3% tax on most corporations’ total sales in Oregon above $25 million and distribute the money equally among residents of all ages and incomes. The system would go into effect next year.

 

Three days after a just-married Oregon nurse was reported missing, she has been found dead and police have arrested one of her neighbors.

Melissa Jubane, 32, was reported missing on Wednesday after she didn’t arrive for her morning shift as a nurse at Providence St. Vincent Center in Portland, “raising concerns among her coworkers, friends, and family,” the Beaverton Police Department said in a Saturday morning Facebook post.

During jury duty, we got all sorts of shit for even whispering which court room we are going to. We were all numbers and even addressed ourselves as a number. And we were threatened repeatedly with fines and prison sentences.

This motherfucker gets to say whatever the fuck he wants and gets a bunch of verbal warnings and finger wagging.

This is why we lose trust in various govt systems

Because there is enjoyment from watching people suffer. Probably a German word
