This is the first stage of sedition.

The US is literally about to become divided. The DSA

They did exactly what they set out to do. Bust everything and then have a fuck up to serve as the fall guy.

Was that a threat, or Elon just being practical. It’s funny either way.

Exactly what I thought.

It’s like watching two chimps knife fight each other. You are pretty much a bad person for watching it … but you can’t just look away.

If they are smart they will do it.

If Elon was smart he would leave the country.

Absolutely correct. Both sides are sold out … but MAGA doesn’t even bother to keep it a secret because their cult followers are so stupid they just have to say “fake news”.

Billionaires are a cancer on society. No healthy economy can survive the corruption that billionaires create. These people could do amazing things and change society for the better … but all of them decide that evil suits them.

I’m arguing that they should not have voted on it. They voted with Republicans. There is no way the Republicans would have tolerated their people doing that. They have censured them for it in the past.

Stroke! Stroke! That or a McDouble widowmaker heartattack Supreme.

They can’t do anything without a majority?

A spending bill passed last month that did not have enough Republicans to pass it … Dems voted on it and helped pass it. This should not be happening.

Wow. This is epic internet!

Agreed, we have won. Calling this threat to our Constitution “Taco” has ensured victory against him.

You make no sense.

My point: The US is not ready fir a woman president and won’t elect one. Dems need to stop running women.

Your Point (apparently): Science says voters don’t care if the candidate is male or female.

Let’s test your theory in the laboratory of life. To be correct by your measure the US should have around a 50% male/female ratio, we will say 40/60 proves it as well.

There have been 45 people elected to the 60 US presidential terms.

Let’s look at the elected presidents. By your measure, should it not matter to voters, we should have had 20-23 women as president. We should also have 40-50% women in Congress, the House, and Senate. Let’s check those numbers …

of US presidents in history: None

Women in politics is currently the highest it has ever been. The numbers are 28% in Congress, 29% in the House and 25% in the Senate.

Hmmm … it looks like there is a substantial difference in how voters feel.

This is the part where you throw a fit and start name calling.

You can’t have “scientific proof” on an opinion. That’s dumb. If voters don’t care if the candidate is a man or woman THEN WHY HAVE THEY ALL BEEN MEN? I think that ends your “science” right there.

This was the weirdest response I have ever had on Lemmy … congrats.

It’s not just Kamala Harris, it is democrats in general. I get that they want the first woman president … but its not going to happen in this political environment. Many Hatian immigrants that voted for Trump just because they don’t think a woman can be president. Copy that … Trump said these people are eating cats and they still voted for him. Hispanics? News flash, they are predominantly Catholic … so Pro Choice doesn’t go over well for them. Then people got angry because Kamala skipped the whole nomination prosses. Stuff like this is why she lost. Biden should have ran, then resigned after he beat Trump again.

Derpy Donald read it on TwitterX, so it has to be real.

Yep, where do I sign? Is there a petition or vote?

Yep, those things were so rarely used … sure. You are forgetting that 99% of people knew nothing about computers when this stuff came out, but people made themselves learn. It’s like comparing Reddit and Twitter to a federated alternative.

Also, something like geocities could easily make a comeback if the damn corporations would stop throwing dozens of pop-ups, banners, and sidescrolls on everything.

I forgot web rings! Also the crazy all centered Geocities websites people made. The internet was an amazing place before the major corporations figured it out.

Nope. That isn’t how it worked. You joined message boards that had lists of web links. There were still search engines, but they were pretty localized. Google was also amazing when their slogan was “don’t be evil” and they meant it.
