PunnyName , in Trump campaign sues Gretchen Whitmer to block Michigan veteran voter registration sites

If your vote didn’t count or matter, they wouldn’t try making it harder to do so. And this is a step to block making voting easier for everyone in Michigan.

Vote 🔵🔵🔵

@timewarp@lemmy.world avatar

Why can’t I vote online then according to your logic. Would be easier for sure. Would allow me to confirm my vote as well. Sounds like Democrats don’t think votes matter (according to your logic)

PunnyName ,

WTF are you on about?

timewarp ,
@timewarp@lemmy.world avatar

If Democrats want to make it easier to vote why not promote voting online?

Grimy ,

“Making it harder” is not the same as “not making it easier”.

PunnyName ,

Voting online would be a cybersecurity nightmare.

But Michigan wants to make it easier, by allowing people to vote at VA offices. But of course, Reps are blocking it.

The US needs to agree to abolish the two party system. This shit show will never end until enough of both parties have realised this.

Canada has multiple parties but only one of two are chosen come federal election time.

You/we need to change to a different system, ie: proportional representation or ranked choice voting, in order to change the outcome.

solrize , in President Biden tested positive for COVID-19.

And just earlier he said he could drop out if a medical issue came up. Maybe this is it.

nytimes.com/…/biden-health-election-drop-out.html

Here’s a tweet from after the notorious debate where he messed up, and claimed afterwards that he had a cold:

x.com/pot8um/status/1806520057003999491

I mostly don’t want him to drop out, but after that debate performance, covid was the first thing I thought of.

dhork ,

I’ve been posting for weeks that he’s gonna back out because of a medical issue, which they will not disclose fully.

Historians will find years later that he had a contagious case of notgonnawinatall, compounded by inflammation of the opeds.

If you see the rascist, fascist Tucker Carlson as anything but a horrible human being that never does anything but horrible things, I question your own beliefs when it comes to race and fascism.

Also, no one is going to click on the YouTube links of someone who praises Tucker Carlson.

jimmydoreisalefty ,
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

All is well!

Have a great day!

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

By that, do you mean you share Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs about black people? Because that may have to be brought up in future conversations. It’s a very important detail about you.

jimmydoreisalefty ,
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t see a point in continuing this line of conversation.

Your beliefs are yours, and that is fine.

I try to hold people I do not agree with and those I do to a higher standard; I do not outright follow what seems like MSM talking points or what the status quo wants us to believe of such people, especially when such labels are seen to be taken by some as outright gospel.

I have my own bias against certain people, but I will still try to take the time to directly listen to what they say until I make a sound judgment of their character.

I try to push against my own bias so I may change my views as I continue to learn, but I do not think it would fit with MSM and the status quo talking points.

I hope this explains a bit more about where we differ.

TLDR: All is well; have a great day!

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

All that I needed you to explain was whether or not you agreed with Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs about black people. It was a yes or no question.

Your refusal to answer it suggests to me that it’s a yes.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Again: it was a yes or no question, so I will take it as a yes, you agree with Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs.

You could easily say no. You’ve been given ample opportunity. Trying to weasel your way out of a yes doesn’t make it not a yes.

You can paste this as many times as you like. In future conversations with you, I will now know that you agree with Tucker Carlson’s racism and discuss things with you accordingly.

Please do paste this again. It will change nothing about future discussions. You have shown your true self.

Yes, I look forward to less ‘controversial’ topics.

When you look at everything through the racist lens of Tucker Carlson, all topics are controversial, and many of them the fault of black people.

You differ by supporting a terrible human being who was kicked off his platform for lying and making his company liable to a massive lawsuit, and then immediately going to Russia to show his support for a tyrannical dictator. That is questionable character.

This does not put off the “I’m totally above it all and chill ” vibes you wish it did.

barsquid ,

It seems only weeks ago you were pretending to consume independent media and claiming to avoid bias. What changed in the far-right propaganda circuit that you don’t find the pretense useful or necessary any longer?

jimmydoreisalefty ,
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

pretending

far-right = far-left = working class, MSM = Status Quo = Governement = Propaganda = All owned by the Owner Class

I have not changed; I continue to learn and shift my views a bit, but I am still posting views that get downvoted since I left Reddit.

Taking a look at the communities I manage now vs. when I became active in Lemmy World, I had similar core communities, but less.

You may have just seen some of the things you agreed with, and now you are seeing some of the things that you don’t agree with.

barsquid ,

I have never seen anything from you that wasn’t far-right. Usually a far-right podcaster with a known history of factual inaccuracy.

Your support for a white supremacist like Tucker Carlson is therefore totally in character. The only difference is doing so openly, instead of writing the “far-right = far-left I only consume independent media” falsehoods.

You jumped back into character in that comment so maybe it was just a one-time slip up.

Hmm. I’d think that Trump would tend to do better that Whitmer among vets. I guess that that might vary by state.

Okay, here’s a Pew article that’s just a couple months old.

pewresearch.org/…/partisanship-by-family-income-h…

Partisanship of military veterans

Voters who are military veterans favor the Republican Party: 63% identify with or lean toward the GOP, while far fewer (35%) are Democrats or Democratic leaners. Bar chart showing that among registered voters, military veterans are more likely to associate with the GOP by a wide margin. The Republican Party’s relative advantage among veterans is seen among both older and younger voters. Aamong Black voters there is no difference in the partisanship of veterans and non-veterans.

Non-veteran voters tilt more Democratic: About half (51%) associate with the Democratic Party, while 46% affiliate with the Republican Party.

I suppose that there might be more going on here than just that. I understand that a higher proportion of older voters tend to vote, and older voters also tend to vote more-Republican so generic get-out-the-vote efforts might favor the Democrats.

Ah. It’s not just veterans.

You know you’ve watched Dune too many times when you start to see parallels between the way prepared by Jessica and Stilgar, and the current jockeying by Pelosi and Schumer. Are we chanting Lisan al-Gaib at the postponed DNC? Schiff of Tabr? To November! The choice was the Dem nominee or the end of democracy, so you’ll forgive me if I’m not flattered.

The building of the best narrative, the gathering of a large tent, the necessity of correct timing. Then the almighty talk. If not Dune then Kingdom of Heaven or Royal Gemstones. God wills it, Jesse! Things gotta look right for the people.
