Would you like your vote to matter after November?
Then yes, I’m pushing the duopoly this time around.
lmao our votes have never mattered.

And then there's all the large investment firms that have gobbled up cheap ukrainian land and resources, a valuable portion of which has been annexed by Russia.
lmao they're going to be left holding the bag whether the US approves of it or not.
Imagine buying land from someone who effectively doesn't own it.
Boeing, lockheed, raytheon etc would never allow their gravy train to stop like that
It might stop anyway. AFAIK they can't manufacture the weapons fast enough to meet current demands.
Trump personally wants to end the ukraine war because it means that he can claim the mantle of peacemaker or something (even if liberals and people from his own party will hate him for it)
Above even that, I'm sure Trump has a personal grudge against Ukraine and Zelenskyy after his first impeachment.
How would you even punish jurors for that? Someone else (the judge I guess) would have to decide that their decision was "wrong", and at that point why even have jurors?
Sounds like a shit therapist. That's basically "just be happy".
The Trump campaign has laid out a peace plan for the war in Ukraine that would have Ukraine surrender the land Russia has taken (the thing that's going to happen eventually anyway).
Does that make Trump the harm reduction candidate?
voters, extremely shy from Hillary's loss, were afraid that [Kamala] was too Black
Yes because if Hillary's loss indicated anything it's that a black person can't win. This is definitely a coherent analysis.
Is there a collection anywhere of every anti-democratic lawsuit by the “Democratic” Party to keep third-parties off the ballot? At least going back to like 2016 anyway, because I’m sure they’ve been doing it longer than that.
It seems like they’ve done it every election in every important state or district in the past few elections so an aggregate would provide an interesting view.
Is this some "Russian interference" conspiracy shit?
Soap and water in a spray bottle kills them.

Apparently Apple and Google decided to drop all the family emojis in favor of generic icons.
(hexbear.net)
Shown is a man, woman, girl family, but every 2 adult 1 child family now shows the same, with similar icons for the other numbers of each.
Actually it looks like Google still represents women and girls in the new ugly icons, but man and person (gender neutral) show up the same as do boy and child (gender neutral).
This is literally no steps forward, many steps back. Especially for Apple, wiping out both sexual orientation and gender representation. And Google conflating male and gender neutral is pretty bad too. I see no good reason for this change, not even a profit-motivated reason. I think it might have something to do with representing race. i.e. a silhouette is more race neutral than yellow. But they could just support mixed race families instead.
Microsoft on the other hand supports all the possible family combinations of both gender and skin tone, which Apple and Google never supported. Here's the built in Windows 11 tool to make a family. Each person's gender and skin tone can be changed.
Tangent: on the other hand, Microsoft refuses to support country flag emojis for some reason which is annoying.
It’s actually from a couple years ago but hilarious how apt it is.
If you can’t see it
the crossed out text is “no human is illegal”.
They better include a reference to the bear. They already have Wojtek and the polar bear.
The Ukraine war was just a distraction all along. Russia has developed FTL travel and now has nukes stationed in Andromeda, waiting to strike the US.
Also lol at showing Crimea as unambiguously part of Ukraine, but also showing Ukraine bombing Crimea. I guess Ukraine is bombing itself.
