If you're spending only half an hour every 4 years, it's because you don't already have a trusted source, and so the first thing you'd look up is what source is most unbiased.
    Entirely possible, but I still feel that whoever only spends said time on politics is likely to look for a quick and simple answer, not the most unbiased one.

    There are huge parallels between this election, Brexit, and Boris Johnson's win. Look where they are now, Johnson didn't even last his one term with a landslide. You need to stop catastrophising, lecturing people, telling everyone they're idiots, and calling people fascists "because its technically correct" when they'd take it in exactly the same way a kid born out of wedlock would take being called a bastard "because its technically correct". And Britain didn't become overrun with them beyond the usual idiot fringe.
    They were treated nicely, they were given a spot at the table. They were talked to like they were adults and understood what was at stake. They had policy laid out for them and explained to them like they were intelligent individuals and not talked down to.

    If after all of that they still voted for Trump who promised them the moon and fed them sweet lies which any 4th grader knew was too good to be true, of course we're going to call them bastards and fascists, because they rejected a spot at the grown up's table for idiocy and ruin.

    If you take a look at Trump's cabinet it's literally a bunch of pedophiles and business owners who are going to stuff their pockets with government money for the next 4 years and leave the middle class to pick up the tab when it's all over.

    There's a predicted crash coming in 2026 or sooner and they're not going to get any sympathy from me when they're standing in bread lines because they chose this.

    Y'all don't give a single fuck about name calling, your candidate did it 20+ times a day on Truth Social. Clutch your pearls somewhere else.

    Policy was talked about by Kamala. A lot. Everyone ignored her and listened to what Trump said she was saying. The centrists ignored Kamala and listened to Trump entirely. Que shoque, people ignored when the woman talked and believed everything the man said? That's who you're carrying a torch for and it's WEIRD.

    You aren't an American, nor do you live in the country. You seem to be using the wrong words.

    It was very easy to catch you in a lie.

    As for your latest comment, everything you said is simply false.

    Y'all don't give a fuck about name calling, you and Trump did it every single day. Everyone claiming to care about name calling and those stupid civility politics you swing around like Trump wasn't the most egregious name caller in the history of politics can fuck off. Again, clutch your pearls somewhere else.

    The point was that we were suggesting that even people who don't normally pay attention should spend a minimum of time legitimately finding out. Anyone who looks just for the quick and simple answer isn't doing that. They also wouldn't likely care enough to spend that half an hour in the first place.

    They should, though.

    It's really not that hard to oppose rapists. You should try it.

    "We voted Trump to trigger the libs"

    At least you're not pretending to care about Democrat civility with this post. But nobody who claims they cared about that ever did. All this whining about being called names. If they really wanted to see the biggest bully get his comeuppance they wouldn't have voted Trump.


    Which is why the civility politics line is ultimately bullshit and everyone knows it. The fact that you admit you just wanted to see people openly suffering tells us all we need to know about your politics and how it was never about the price of eggs, gas, or being called fascist, because at the end of the day Republicans are just contrarian bullies.

    If it's offensive maybe don't vote for an adjudicated rapist? IDK seems pretty easy thing to do unless your politics revolve solely around triggering people.

    ...because they're garbage. Fuck their feelings. Anyone who cares about "owning the libs" over the sanctity of democracy in this country deserves every shitty thing that Trump is about to leverage against them.

    I am not even American, so I did not vote. And honestly, I would have not support any of those candidates, though I would have voted Harris as the lesser evil.

    This has been covered exhaustively in two different threads.

    Perhaps you should be more properly informed.
