  • solely because Harris didn’t give them perfect solutions

    Let’s be very clear about this, Harris gave them no solutions. Harris said “I will support the existing status quo, the economy is great, there are no problems.” Try and remember that these are people who are actively struggling and desperate for anyone who will tell them things will improve, and Harris openly told these people that things are fine and do not need to improve. Are you really surprised that they do not listen to her?

    Blithely shutting down dissent and ignoring people is what got us into this mess. Maybe instead of making a bunch of people into scapegoats, there could just be an acknowledgement that the Harris campaign fucked up a ton and failed.


  • Or, instead of just continually repeating easily disputable strawman arguments, you could try listening to the issues these people are saying affect them? Overwhelming, the reason these groups voted for Trump is because Kamala was not offering them economic change, and Trump is. It doesn’t matter that he’s lying, they’re just desperate. If you just don’t want to believe them, maybe check your own biases first.

    It wasn’t just this man, it was the entire Democratic Party. Remember well that in the four years leaning up to the election, while the Republican party was playing 6-D chess trying to figure out every possible avenue they could use to sieze power, the Dems decided their best chance at defeating Trump was running Sleepy Joe Biden.


  • The honest truth is that the Harris/Walz campaign did not motivate their voter base. People were talking about doing fucking vote swaps with people in swing states because they didn’t want to vote for Harris.

    I have no idea what the fuck the whole “courting the right” angle was, but it failed. Maybe it was the stance on Gaza, maybe it was the stance on immigration, maybe it was just feeling spurned by the party for caring about alot of issues like trans rights Harris left to the wayside while campaigning, but it didn’t motivate people to cut through the bullshit and go to the polls.

    Meanwhile, Trump stayed in the news 24/7, constantly doubling down on his rhetoric, and his voters mostly all turned out again.




  • I know there were some rumors that the game might get re-launched free-to-play, but I feel like that was just going to cause Concord to flop twice. The game already had a free open beta that nobody played, relaunching now would just be throwing more good money after bad.

    It’s a shame to shut down the studio though, especially when none of it seems like their fault. They delivered the shitty overwatch clone corporate asked for, and now they’re going to lose their jobs for fulfilling the brief. Meanwhile the dumbass execs who wanted Concord get to keep failing upwards.




  • Except the North didn’t want mass executions and was willing to let the South keep their institutions.

    I can assure you, Israel’s neighbors would be more than happy to burn it to the ground. So while you could dissolve the Zionist state, you would have to do so while still supporting the defense of Israel, or else you’d just switch from a massacre of Palestinians to a massacre of Jews.








  • That’s entirely your choice, it’s not a requirement of life. You can continue learning new information, there’s nothing that forces you to give into ignorance. I’d also say there’s a pretty big difference between “I’m not a very tech savvy person” and “I am completely helpless and choose to make it other people’s problem.”

    Recently had a support call with a woman who was complaining about our 2 factor authentication system because she could only access one web page at a time. When I asked her if she couldn’t just open a new tab, she said she was too old to learn how computers work and couldn’t do that. She went on to claim that there’s a lot of people at her level of ineptitude, and that we shouldn’t have implemented 2fa because “most people don’t have multiple monitors.”

    It was so, so hard not to throw out an OK Boomer as they proudly lectured me on the depths of their ignorance.
