You talking about this person?

They're more on the prison side of the school-to-prison pipeline.

She has no policy. Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She’s going to my philosophy now, in fact, I was gonna send her a MAGA hat,” Trump

Harris "I'm honored to have Dick Cheney on board."

Me: Yeah okay you're just going to prove his point then?

It's entirely the EC.

Biden won by ten million votes, and it was still a clencher because some idjit in kansas thinks the candidates sucking Pennsylvania's fracking drill all election keeps their interests represented.

We need to stop letting land vote.

If it was 70-30, like it should be, the electoral college wouldn't be relevant.

this race...

this race?

The past three Republican presidents saw a job growth of 1 million, the past three Democratic presidents 51 million. Now sure, the president doesn't define every aspect of the economy, but my god that big a discrepancy is not accidental. As someone not from America, I don't understand why this race is so close, but why any race involving the Republicans, even outside of Trump, would be.

Because the democrats are doing everything they can to lose. They don’t message well, and they keep running to the right.

Most Americans want leftist policies, but the Democrats refuse to capitalize on that. Kamala is toting a right wing immigration bill thinking it’s going to help her.

nearly all republicans rig elections to their favor and make decent education an expensive luxury to help maintain their control over poorly educated & informed voting masses and democrats let them since it makes their job easier and they know that there's no viable alternative.

the icing on this shit cake is that most democrat voters will shame you if you don't participate and blame you if you can't because of voter suppression.

Drag is very surprised you find this odd. Democrat voters want you to fight back against Republican voter suppression. They think keeling over and giving up is a bad idea. The icing on the shit cake is that centrists who would rather have a D than an R choose to cooperate with Republican tactics.

i don't find it surprising at all and many aren't participating because the don't want either gentler diet genocide from kamala nor full fat genocide from trump.

As John Stewart would say: well I'm still undecided... Cause a horse kicked my head.

Most conservatives don't believe state education isn't anything more than brainwashing against conservative ideas.

They're 100% correct. Education tends to make one confront reality and live in the real world, a very un-conservative concept.

Sucks for them that reality has a liberal bias.

You talking about the place where people pledge their allegiance to a flag every day?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

they have to start from kindergarten onward, because it doesn't take much education to make people realize that "because tradition" is just about the dumbest reason to do anything. and if that's the only reason you're doing something, then maybe it's time to grow the fuck up and move on

but no, they've turned words like "progress" and "change" into pejoratives. same as "expert," "science," and "facts/fact-checking"

Compulsory indoctrination is a dumb tradition.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 22 hours ago

to be fair: reality does have a liberal bias. lol

"Go to college and get a good education!"

goes to college, gets educated in class and from people from all over who aren't like me. Realize different people have different needs

"College is a liberal brain wash machine!"

Because Trump is energizing his base with lies and propaganda designed to get them angry and motivated, while Kamala had squandered the enthusiasm her base had for her by pursuing disaffected center-right never Trumpers. It's basically the same strategy Hillary Clinton ran in 2016 and it's terrifying to watch the Democrats gamble on it yet again.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

The Harris campaign must pursue those voters in order to win. They are the voters who live in battleground states. Pursuing a hard-left strategy the way everyone on lemmy wants is a guaranteed loss.

This is the problem with the non-proportional EC makeup. Unfortunately it’s not going to change any time soon because the party who wins got there on the old system.

its because their corporate owners don't want to have to implement left wing economic policies for the good of the nation. unfortunately we'll continue to have fascist bogey men until people start holding dems accountable.

It's because the media, who teach most people how to think, is mostly owned by corporations who benefit from pro-corpo status quo policies.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

media is just an amplifier. but yes you could make such an argument; though its deeper than that.

The race is close because Republicans have built something better than a platform when you're dealing with ignorant masses.

They built a brand.

Aww, no virtual hand-job boogying?!

Inertia. Mostly.
