Maybe fix the structure - the whole voting system - rather than just putting more of the same into the never ending circle jerk?

Democrats had their chance to make reforms and ignored it. Both parties oppose election reform because it threatens their [current] control.

The people are to blame.

I don’t know why anyone would dive where Orca swim. Not because of the Orcas, but because the water is cold and the only thing to see is sea weed.

This is the way.

That lady was being terribly divisive with her shirt.

Maybe it’s a population bias thing. All the helpful people left Reddit for Lemmy. I.e., being helpful may be highly correlated to the set of ethics that drove those Redditors away in the first place

You know, it was tough, but in the end we won. With 11 boys for and 10 girls against.

I’ll play the advocate here. What good would persecution do now? They wouldn’t stop him in time. All that would do is allow Trump and Musk to claim political persecution.

And if they did start an investigation, would it be complete before the election? What if they filed charges before? So what.

Smart play is to wait. Win. Prosecute with four years of time ahead.

Basically… maybe they will do something still?

There are three decisions a leader can make: Yes, no, not right now.

No, but I bet it’s multiple of 6!

Freezy peaches you say?

I had a hard time reading. Could not stop laughing enough to get past the fourth paragraph. Sides hurt, would not recommend.

I’ll give you your references. Will have to read later.

I’ve seen the reports. I highly doubt any of the arm chair statisticians (who have never taken a day of mathematical or proof-level stats) have a clue what they are talking about. The polls’ histories and lean are factored into 538’s averages. They are not new to this.

And how many polls are left leaning? The graph posted a couple of days ago on midwest claims 35% are right leaning, and a correlation with the drop in support for Harris. What it doesn’t say is the proportion of democratic polls, and there really isn’t a correlation over the length of history shown.

Hard to make informed decisions when half the information is hidden. (But arm chair statisticians don’t recognize the issue do they?)

Lol at people downvoting what they don’t want to hear.

Credibility: High - Factual Reporting: High

On a positive note, Harris is still leading 4/7 swing states in the WaPo averages: https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/presidential-polling-averages/

Iranian cyber actors’ use of brute force and other techniques to compromise organizations across multiple critical infrastructure sectors, including the healthcare and public health (HPH), government, information technology, engineering, and energy sectors.

It seems they’ve abstracted the term “critical infrastructure” to refer to the organizations that perform critical functions within society, not necessarily the networks running nuclear power plants.

But also, commercial entities don’t exactly have access to NSA encryptors… so your alternative is to disconnect everything. And that’s not feasible.

Okay, which one is missing?

Great, but that’s not what republicans mean when they say “extremist liberal.” Instead they have coopted the term “extremist” so it no longer means anything, except what they want it to, when they want it to.

That’s what extremists do, gaslight, obstruct and project. It’s all 101 level stuff.

Well, that obviously calls for deprogramming. All the commercials this month inform me you are a radical socialist trying to feed children who don’t deserve it. I think the correct answer is to throw them in labor camps instead so they can earn bread and water. Serves them right for being born poor.

I don’t know about outer coatings, but I always wondered if lapping film would work on glass lenses. Think super fine sandpaper for fiber optic cables.

When Mike Pence was rushed to a secure location on Jan. 6, an aide alerted Donald Trump in the hope that he would take action to ensure Pence’s safety. Instead, according to grand jury testimony, Trump looked at the aide and said only, “So what?”

I don’t know if this will hold up in court, but Trump is a dick.

So people don’t punch it.
