That’s very odd. Have you factory reset the controller then done the upgrade?

Since it hasn’t been mentioned, Okami. You play as Amaterasu, the Japanese sun god

Ah yes, California, the EU of the US lol

I’m assuming the user meant all kernel level anti-cheat is malware

If anything, him being jailed would just make it easier for his cabinet to push through their policies. With Trump around he might be incompetent enough to slow it down. With him out of the way? No shot.

And I say this as someone who really wants him to be imprisoned.

I don’t think Republicans of today care to know the difference. But good to point out!

Pasting my own comment, as I really think there was a reason for this.

"I’ve been seeing a trend for the last few years and I think it explains the shift that people have been pointing out in the Democratic party. The way in which many Democrats felt railroaded into Hillary in 2016, I think the same is happening to the Republican party, albeit more unknowingly. There is a not insignificant amount of Republicans who have been disenfranchised from voting red because that’s just what you do. It all comes down to the Republican party being split by the MAGA cult, with those Republican voters wanting to return back to the status quo of red vs. blue. Of course what they don’t realize is that the culture war that the conservatives have been imposing is what created this whole situation in the first place.

Anyway, this is where Dick Cheney comes in. Yes, a representative of that culture war that brought us here, but not a MAGA cultist. An endorsement from one of the most recognized Republicans is an attempt to move back towards the classical conservatism, away from the clamoring fervor that the Trump presidency put the country in.

That is to say, if the Green Party is meant to siphon votes from Democrats, The Classical Republican Dick Cheney is meant to appeal to the votes from Moderate Republicans and maybe convince some Republican voters who would have voted red “because that’s what you do”, to instead vote for Kamala.

This isn’t to say his endorsement of her isn’t damning and that the leaders of the Democratic haven’t been shifting away from the left. Just positing that like many of us, there’s a portion of Republicans out there who are just as tired."

I wrote this pre-election results. Can probably tell. But basically Tl;Dr Cheney is a classical conservative and his endorsement was an attempt to return to the status quo pre-MAGA, as a way to hopefully return to the Republican vs. Democrat split, instead of this 4 way split between leftist, liberal, conservative, and MAGA voters.

Obviously, that didn’t sit that well with the Democrats and the leftists. I get where the campaign was coming from, I don’t agree and it was a bad move, but I understand it.

Oh, believe me I 100% agree with you on both points. Just look through my history, 110% agree in full. The DNC’s choice, while frustrating, made sense. I think acting early would have been the way to actually get a primary, and that wasn’t happening because Biden decided he wasn’t a 1 term President for a little while. Because of this people around here blame the DNC for causing this situation in the first place, which I’m 50/50 on. The situation was from the DNC, but at the same time, if Harris wasn’t your first choice and you have no other alternatives, why the heck didn’t anyone vote for Ranked Choice Voting on their ballot? It failed nation wide. And people point out that abortion won in red states, as if that changes my point? Granted, ranked choice could have been different for each states ballot, I’m not certain on what the specifics are for each state, or why they might have failed if abortion passed.

However in post election, the Greens got what, 1 million votes? At least they voted, at all. I don’t really think it’s the greens and most of those voters that were telling people to not vote. The fact of the matter is that with our numbers in the electoral college, they all could have voted for Harris, all Democrats could have voted for Stein, it wouldn’t have mattered, because people didn’t show up to vote.

I think that it was a combination of a lack of enthusiasm for Harris after staying so strongly pro-Israel instead of more heavily actively campaigning for, at the very least, a two state solution. Though really we all know that we want the genocide to end, and that was all the campaigning that would really be needed.

It would be a different story if it was 75 million to 74 million (Harris) down to a swing state or two in the E.C., but it wasn’t. It was a blowout because people didn’t go vote.

So whatever caused people to choose not to vote was really the issue. What those are though will be different depending on who you ask (and in reality, any answer is probably a correct answer for about a thousand people)

No need to blame third party. At least they voted.

Voters didn’t show up, period. It’s so bad that literally every democratic voter could have instead voted 3rd party and Trump still would have won.

Blame the DNC for not having a primary, and blame voters for not showing up to vote for things like Ranked Choice Voting.

But third party voters actually voted this time. The fault is not on them. (Unless they were saying there’s no point to voting)

I remember learning about how the JWST would “look back in time” in college and it’s just so goddamn cool

Such a tragedy. But honestly knowing what he did makes it worth it IRL

He is old. Old and evil, ruining multiple countries.

1952 is the exact date actually.

That’s when Rupert Murdoch started in media.

When I was very young we would rent audiobooks from the library and copy them to tape (or eventually disc).

Makes sense, although sadly for real people in person, the elder you look the more likely they are to be pro-Israel. If I’m lucky, the person I’m interacting with recognizes that Hamas are not the people of Palestine, and even then it’s a dicey conversation.

This has been my experience in Oregon at an elder care facility, at least.

The issue isn’t how people used their votes. The issue is that 20 million people didn’t show up to vote.

With the math available, every single Democratic voter could have voted 3rd party and Trump would still have won. Third party voters had little to no effect on this election, outside of those who were swaying to say don’t vote at all. 50 to 100 thousand third party votes from each state just don’t make the numbers needed for the E.C. votes.

We needed voters, period. They didn’t show up.

People had the opportunity to not vote for Harris and still vote for other elected representatives in the senate. Not voting was a better option it seems.

I would agree, and do to an extent, but everyone also could have voted to not have a Republican senate, and skipped the Presidential vote.

If everyone who voted for Harris voted for 3rd Party instead, the Electoral College shows Trump still would have won.
