But I already Pokémon Goed to the polls

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

6 million people who voted for Biden did not for Kamala, and there is a large measurable shift in favor of Trump among Gen Z compared to the trend of previous generations moving left.

[-] Paragone@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

Among MALES, not among females.

There was an article, perhaps the FT, which showed drastic divergance between the 2 populations of the same age.

https://theconversation.com/women-used-to-be-more-likely-to-vote-conservative-than-men-but-that-all-changed-in-2017-we-wanted-to-find-out-why-214019

shows a HARD left-swing for women, XOR a HARD right-swing for men, in the UK, ( both would look the same, on that chart ) only-recently.

That trend, though, is global, male-supremacism hand-in-hand with the upswing of male fascism/authoritarianism.

Males generally back male-supremacy.

Females generally do not.

"journalism" nowadays works hard to NOT show the correct granularity-of-view, showing what's actually going on: the oversimplifications & dumbing-down are too beloved of the establishment.

A majority of male youth voted for Trump but EVEN AMONG FEMALES there was a large shift to the right.

In 2020 Biden had a 36 point lead in young women over Trump, while Harris only had a 24 point lead. Thats a huge shift.

When people spend 14 hours a day on their phones exclusively on one of a handful of social platforms it becomes trivial to mass manipulate the population. Almost as if... It was by design.

6 million? Or a little bit more than that, like, 7? SIX SEVENNNNNNNNNN oh my god I'm going to vote for Kamala now, damn that got a good laugh out of me, definitely changed my opinion of her for the better!

[-] SaltSong@startrek.website 28 points 2 months ago

I voted for her, but if she knew how to mobilize anyone, we wouldn't have nazis running the country.

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space -3 points 2 months ago

Or more nazis. Because she's also american and a cop. Seeing cops being able to execute people probably got her hard.

[-] SaltSong@startrek.website 4 points 2 months ago

Since when are lawyers cops?

[-] cockmushroom@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

Since when they serve the prosecution.

This can't be real life. Reality has jumped the shark.

[-] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Jumping the shark means that the writers have convoluted the premise of a character or an overall show to a point where it is a ridiculous quasi-parody of its original plot

Its a reference to Fonzi literally jumping over a shark on waterskis in Happy Days

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Fascinating, my experience with jumping sharks if very different

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

This is what it’s gonna take to kill 6-7

[-] JakoJakoJako13@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago

Shame it's already been dead for a few weeks now.

[-] bulwark@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Why do I feel like I'm seeing an ex-girlfriend I've wanted to avoid after a year

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

Seriously, can this woman just disappear from existence? Like at least Biden learned to keep his fucking mouth shit after killing American democracy, or maybe that's just the cancer.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -1 points 2 months ago

We kind of need her.

We need leadership to unite the splintered left the way that Republicans are united.

Get Effed. Thanks for supporting the Genozide in palestine you dumb hag

[-] Paragone@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago

It absolutely is true that she backed Netanyahu, & that cost her significant support.

I don't know why, but she did.

Losing the country, however, because of that .. doesn't help the Palestinians.

NEITHER candidate was good for them!!

Trump's Gaza converted into a resort .. isn't good for them, either!

Maybe, possibly, she could have been got to see the light, on that issue: I don't know.

The genocide in the US is going to make Gaza's genocide look .. like a civilized sunday picnic.

Trump's nearly there, all he needs now is the Insurrection Act, & then he can activate his de-naturalization law, to remove citizenship from all the Democrats, & then they all get ICE'd.

Netanyahu's war against the lives of Palestinians is going to be tiddlywinks, compared with Trump's war against the hated "woke", within the US.

Not tens-of-thousands, but millions, will die, in that, soon-enough.

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago

I don't know why, but she did.

AIPAC funding.

That's the answer. It's not complicated.

The Democratic leadership always does whatever the mega donors want, regardless of what that will end up doing at the polls, or to the country.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -2 points 2 months ago

More likely that Israel is the USA's longest and most reliable foothold into the Middle East which is an important ground to repel eastern expansionism from Russia and China in an infinite proxy war. Nobody with half a brain would chose to lose voters for a paltry sum of campaign funds which may or may not attract comparably few voters, the math just doesn't pan out.

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

paltry sum of campaign funds

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

AIPAC was one of the largest outside donors in the 2024 elections, spending $100 million in 389 congressional races (26 in the Senate, 363 in the House). 318 Zionist candidates who received money from AIPAC were elected that year.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The Harris Campaign spent $1,176,074,620.47

The total spending on all campaigns in 2024 was over 21 Billion Dollars.

How many votes do you think $100M in advertisements is going to earn? That's hardly enough money to put an ad in the face of 1 of 3 people in the USA one time.

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

How many votes do you think $100M in advertisements is going to earn?

Apparently 318 seats worth.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah it can't be the military-industrial complex, oil and shipping companies, it has to be the scary Russians.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It can be multiple things but let's not compare filthy Republicans like Bush and Rex Tillerson the Tex Driller-man to the DNC, that would just be disingenuous to its core.

Also, you say "the scary Russians" like they haven't been actively invading and claiming more land for 10 years, now.

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 2 months ago

I know why she backed Netanyahu. It's part of the Democrats' secret plan to destroy democracy.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 0 points 2 months ago

If you can't stand with others when they're facing genocide, why would you expect anyone to stand with you when you face your own genocide? I have absolutely zero sympathy for people like you. I'm going to stop there so my comment doesn't get removed.

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Yes! As a Gen Z I LOVE ~~Joe Biden!~~ Kamala Harris!

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 0 points 2 months ago

Because you did not use a /s, I commend you for your enthusiasm.

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Pokémon go-to-the-fuck off already.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

She should have launched on fediverse instead of Twitter, then she couldn't be censored because she would own the platform.

Good on Dems for organizing a grassroots resistance. We need more people on the ground, we need a force greater than one hundred millions strong.
