except he "renegotiated" nafta and is now threatening mexico with tariffs. He's a childlike negotiator playing geopolitics backed by like 5 giant media conglomorates and silicon valley guys who reinvent busses and trains every 5 years.

The reality is the crypto people are going to stash their crypto as the economy tanks intent on living like millionaires. Then the big money will cash out and crash that market leaving all the small holders in the dust.

fake story about how workers are dumb. Yeah.

I mean regardless I think pulling back spending is a great idea for 2025. Make those purchases now while they're still cheap. Buy your toilet paper etc

I do expect that our future includes a lot of stupid plane crashes because of lax regulation

This is framing only billionaires can buy. The problem is less this is the reality and more that the billionaires who own like 90% of the media can make people believe (including democrats like harris, because her immigration policy was not a product of donors) that there is something to this.

Democrats had some solid policies like paid family leave on the table and I just don't think the messaging made its way to the people that needed to hear it.

because americans see voting the same as buying and endorsing a thing which is objectively wrong.

Not buying a product hurts the manufacturer.

Not voting does jack shit. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

America has powerful Karen/Kyle energy where people overreact to a slight flaw in service and this argument is the Karen/Kyle Tantrum argument over genuinely bad policies supported by Harris. They think if they take a fit this election they will be in a better spot next election. The reality is that more poeple will be homeless and out of reach. The media will be in worse shape.

Voting is always a trolley problem.

But overall I don't think that's the biggest group of people. The majority of people that didn't vote I think were tuned out of the election because of ongoing failures.

I'm just saying the whole "state's rights" things is sort of a red herring. The right believes they don't have to follow the rules; "crimes are when undesireables do things only I should be allowed to do"

I mean you could read the rest of what I wrote to see thats not the case. I'm reacting to interviews with nonvoters I saw, which are shockingly unaware. Like I don't think democrats or leftists have any media reach.

bile is an important part of your body's functions, don't compare it to the silly storybook

its always the democrats fault, a brave take. Harris' campaign was not good, but Its possible she had no chance even with a perfect campaign. There are far too many comitted nonvoters that are completely offline and don't watch news.

The democrats as a party just don't have the in person networks to reach people. They just send out emails and clock out thinking everyone even has an email account. Job done.

Literally the civil war started because kansas didn't want to be a slave state. The whole state's right thing is just a talking point not a held belief.

this is why I'm doing the "buy nothing 2025 challenge." Would be a shame if consumer spending went down in january and sparked a panic.

 

I'd like to see what drugs the original poster is on when making a post.
