The problem is that swing voters focus on only one issue, and it’s the issue that impacts them the most. It might be just the genocide in Gaza and how the current administration is handling it. Or might be just healthcare. Or just women’s rights. Or the economy. They don’t seem to look at the big picture and can’t weigh their personal feelings against all the issues as a whole. They can’t say "I’ll take a hit on the economy if women’s rights and abortions are better for the people as a whole ". It’s often what impacts them most. From what I’ve read, the economy is the biggest issue and as long a they think they might be better off with Trump, they’ll vote for him, regardless of the impact to everyone else.

This is what happens in some Republican controlled states when they limit the times and places and how people can vote. Trump said a few years ago that if minorities vote, Republicans will never win another election. So Republican controlled states started getting rid of polling stations and changing voting times to standard working hours, etc, knowing that people wouldn’t be able to take time off from work to stand in the now longer lines (due to fewer polling stations) or would want to stand in longer lines.

Plus, election day is not a national holiday like it is in most other countries, so people don’t get the day off to vote. Though some companies give 3 or 4 hours paid time off strictly for voting.

I still remember when Xi made himself president for life and Trump said at a rally, “maybe we oughtta try that some day.”

This is no different than Trump saying “they say” when he makes up some bullshit.

I have shared calendars with family and friends that I need to keep using.

I want to make the jump from Google apps but I can’t because I use GCal heavily and Proton Calendar doesn’t (yet) sync to GCal. I can enter in something in GCal and it’ll appear in Proton Calendar, but I can’t enter in something in Proton Calendar and it shows up in GCal. Hopefully they add that soon.

They’re going to release when the My Pillow guy releases his bombshell evidence of the 2020 election being stolen.

I had this years ago when I was in IT and had the on-call pager. We rotated it around the team so in had it every 6 weeks or so but it sucked hearing it go off in the middle of the night for some random server issue.

Hey now, he’s a very stable genius.

They forget he had 4 years to put in a new healthcare plan and he never did. He kept saying “in 2 weeks, we’ll have the best healthcare in the history of healthcare” and other bullshit. After months of that, he finally said “who knew healthcare was so complicated?”

He and the GOP don’t have shit for healthcare other than stripping it from women.

Nice.

I can see it now, they go to Russia and expect all Russians to speak English.

Russia: You’re in Russia! Speak Russian! You don’t like it, go back to where you came from! Conservatives: How dare you!

But but muh coal mining towns!

I remember when there were programs to retrain coal miners to work with renewable resources, completely paid for by the renewable resources companies, but Big Coal and Big Oil threw a fit. I think Manchin ended up killing a lot of those things since his daughter or son is an exec in a coal company that he also invests in or some shit.

It’s all click bait in some form. The news always reports the bad because that’s what everyone wants to see and that’s what everyone talks about. The news doesn’t make money from feel good stories which is why a feel good story is tacked on at the end of the broadcast. Everything else is doom and gloom.

Honestly not far off

Lol Trump and the GOP always said he was too old and shouldn’t run, so he drops out and now they’re mad about it. The GOP is both infuriating and hilarious at the same time.

Nah, just give like Walmart and Target and other stores that have large parking lots a tax break or something.

Remember when Trump said he would get rid of the ACA and they had a plan to replace it? But he never had a plan and eventually said “who knew healthcare was so complicated?” (Everybody knew it was complicated.) This is the exact same thing.

That last bit is all conservatives care about keeping though.

I’m into fitness. Fitness taco in my mouth.
