recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•It’s not alarmist: A second Trump term really is an extinction-level threat to democracy9·6 months agoOh ok cool, let’s get right on that then.
Maybe. But if there were 10000 sent and 500 responses, that still isn’t enough information. You would need to know how many were even handled and perceived by the intended recipient.
But maybe you can work around this by canvasing in person rather than fire and forget.
Agpl bitches!
GOP sure loves to sexualize pissing and shitting.
recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Tommy Tuberville threatens to end career of any GOP senator who blocks Matt Gaetz5·7 months agoOn the Harris🤎Cheney issue, I think it’s notable that the Harris turnout was actually quite large in many places, but the trump turnout was larger.
I can’t remember what media I was doomfully consuming, but someone basically said Dems should not try to court Republicans to vote… because even if it works, they’ll arrive at the polls and vote Republican.
recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Tommy Tuberville threatens to end career of any GOP senator who blocks Matt Gaetz2·7 months agoI’m not aligned with Kinzinger but I don’t really see the kissass vibes. I think he remains as principled as ever but he is acknowledging the new conditions of the game.
recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Makes Chilling Joke About Staying in Power Forever21·7 months agoHe won’t stay in power. His appointment of incompetent sycophants will dismantle 250 years of American prosperity (maliciously or negligently, it doesn’t matter) and it will be sold for parts to billionaires and foreign states.
recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed2·7 months agoIt’s the extreme leaps to wild conjecture that you’re asserting here that makes it so difficult to take you seriously. It’s hard for me to conclude you aren’t a troll. It’s simply not normal or healthy to make assessments of the intentions of people who barely said anything. Not one of us is an oracle like that. In the off chance that you are intending to be a serious person who just happens to have a bad attitude and chip on your shoulder, I sincerely hope you have lovely and supportive people around you. You deserve the best.
recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed4·7 months agoI have been downvoted and it caused me to introspect.
It doesn’t necessarily change my values or even my position but it is a signal for me to think about the way I’m thinking about stuff. It means I’m clearly missing a perspective.
In the case of you, I think there are enough people trying to reply with reasoning that the up votes and downvotes are just other people supporting positions and expressing their rejection of a position which is already being refuted. They’re adding signal without noise.
recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed5·7 months agoMy man, do you hear yourself? You’re on tirades flying off the handle all over the forum. Bent out of shape over Internet points, meanwhile other folks are actually replying to you. Get over yourself. Hug a family member or something.
recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed5·7 months agoSometimes I downvote something when I’m annoyed by the time I spent reading it, and I’m merely trying to signal to the good folks here that they can spend their time a better way. Not every dumb take deserves an actual reply. In fact almost none of them do. I just want to help people who value their time, as they have done for me. That is pretty much the purpose of the voting system. We’re helping each other out.

recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Rumors, conspiracy theories, and disinformation about "millions of missing votes" and voting machine fraud14·7 months agoI don’t know why so many people are hurt by this statement. The turnout was abysmal.
What should someone even do to respond to a viewpoint like this?
I’m pretty excited to see the left wing numerologists emerge from the woodwork. Don’t forget to buy those supplements.
recapitated@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Rumors, conspiracy theories, and disinformation about "millions of missing votes" and voting machine fraud14·7 months agoI got in line to vote. It was a very short line.

Like so many other things, I doubt his camp even cares.
