And yet a good chunk of that 2/3 is willing to vote for him anyways.
It’s ridiculous. I’ve seen all these political/legal pundits coming out saying “It’s probably not going to go to court, but it toes the line!”
No, fuck that. If you promise someone money, or even the chance of money, to vote or pledge support for a candidate, that’s compromising the democratic process. And if that’s somehow not illegal, it should be made illegal without question.
They’re basically saying “Hey, you can stand outside polling stations and offer free scratch tickets to people who take a picture of their vote for Trump, and that’s not illegal because it’s not a guarantee of reward.”
Fair, and that’s also where things get muddy when trying to factor in the humanitarian crisis aspect into it all. Number of dead due to starvation, lack of medical care, preventable disease, and so on is impossibly hard to get an accurate number of.
I just feel like this is a story we’re going to keep hearing over and over, forever. Darfur yesterday, Gaza today, who is tomorrow?
It’s sad to say, but yes. Gaza is a horrific tragedy, but it is an admittedly small corner of the world.
The Palestinian health ministry has reported 40,000+ Palestinian dead. Meanwhile, George W. Bush is responsible for the deaths of over a million Iraqis following his completely unnecessary invasion of Iraq. He’s still kicking, probably using some of that blood on his hands for the painting he does now.
Putin is also pulling comparable numbers as Bibi in Ukraine, though that conflict has been going on for a little bit longer than the one in Gaza. But that’s also not counting how many of his own men he sent to their deaths, which is estimated to be over 100,000.
Henry Kissinger would also be on this list but thankfully it’s been almost a year since his long-awaited demise.
And that’s really only looking at conflict. Not factoring in others who are responsible for large-scale humanitarian crises that may end up killing many more people just from disease or starvation.
Not likely in these cases, public service debt forgiveness programs have been in place for a long time now.
I don’t know how much I’d rely on Americans abroad as a voting bloc, though. From my own experience as one such person, you’re just as likely to have people who want positive outcomes in the US as negative ones.
A lot of expats might maintain ties to the US and still care about American issues, but I know a heck of a lot of them don’t care at all. A lot of Americans left the US because they hate it there and might even prefer it if the election makes things worse. Not that such people would be likely to vote anyways, but you’re not going to find consistent voting trends from people living abroad, even if as a sum they are greater than the margin of error of some elections.
The “stop the steal” is coming from inside the house!
Guess we saw different videos, then.
I did watch the video. A sane person says “Sorry folks, that’s all for today, here’s where we’ll be next time.” You don’t stand on stage for nearly 30 minutes at a public event where you’re supposed to be answering questions just swaying back and forth like it’s prom night at the senior center.
It’s just an incredibly bizarre occurrence in a long line of other incidents that have people concerned about his mental faculties.
Ah, so he has a concept of a healthy lifestyle!
Also, show your faces, nazi fucks. If you’re so proud, why are you hiding?
Well the article said that Antifa is a group that resists “facists” [sic] so maybe they’re looking to avoid Antifa by not being face-ists.
It’s not cheating, it’s just its own category of speedrun.
But they are currently in enough of government to block any move that removes their advantage.
You absolutely can prove a negative, actually.
The very assertion that a negative claim can’t be proven is itself a negative claim, to frame it another way. Though that claim is unproven as it would be a paradox to be otherwise.
Not idiots, just woefully misguided to the detriment of others.
Then I guess I’d like someone to explain the mathematical probability, because from an empirical standpoint I haven’t seen anything to disprove the claim being made above.
I’m not sure I agree with that estimation, but even then I’d say that the majority of Green Party voters who would decide to vote anyways would probably vote Dem over GOP, and that still matters.
Because only one of those parties is trying to deny me basic human rights, I can’t say I’m sympathetic to anyone who would choose not to vote out of spite just because they don’t personally have as much at stake.
It’s a good thing that there are no Puerto Ricans living in the continental US who are eligible to vote. Like, imagine if there was something like a 2-to-1 ratio of Puerto Ricans in the US as those on the island? That’d be craaaaazy.
