If you’re looking at my account, it likely means I upset you and you’re a moron/retard. It doesn’t matter how much you argue, you’re still wrong and you’re still a fucking moron. If you’re reading this, you know who you are.
Lemmy appears to have a special breed of retards.
It’s because a significant portion of our population are complete dumbasses.
One third of the country are bigots believing every piece of propaganda.
One third of our country doesn’t think politics affects them.
10-15% (ballparking) have good political intentions, but don’t think voting will solve anything.
That leaves about 20-25% to actually contribute politically with critical thinking skills and understanding various social issues.
Yeah we’re fucked.
“it’s $20 for a skin… Eh I’ll buy it.” I have friends that do that. Meanwhile I almost never buy a game at launch because I’ll just wait for a sale and for the game to be fixed post launch.
Maybe Elrond should have voted against the ring.
He’s rich. He’s going to have “friends”.
The board are just his friends and yes-men.
“Election is so rigged, they even beat the riches man in the world.”
“Study using self-reported data shows that those more interested in politics are more likely to self-report data with post-election surveys. More at 11.”
They literally say they are using self-reported post election surveys. Most people I know, including myself, have never done a post election survey. People that don’t vote also are not participating in post-election surveys. It’s an interesting study, but this is 100% textbook selection bias and I’m surprised Pew Research Center missed the mark on this one.
If progressives voted in overwhelming numbers, then Bernie would have won the primary. I voted for Bernie, but clearly not many others did.
Progressives could be the largest voting block and most still wouldn’t come out to vote. Why bother trying to gain the vote of a group that has historically low voting. There’s a reason Bernie didn’t win the primary despite massive grass roots movements.
It’s normal in US elections for less than half the population to vote.
they don’t vote in any meaningful capacity, so they didn’t effect the election
You have no argument and you’re too stupid to realize it. You also didn’t even get the statistic correct.

Life must be hard for you.
77 million voted for Trump. 75 million votes for Harris. Just under 3 million voted for a third party candidate of some kind. 90 million didn’t vote but were registered to vote. We don’t know the number of potentially eligible but not registered people there are. The US has an estimated 340 million population. An estimated 260 million are adults.
Care to shut the fuck up or do you want to say more stupid shit?
Good job. Your non-vote really helped.
Can do the exact same thing with “progressives” that don’t vote.
Mama mia! What has the world come to?
They only hate what Fox news tells them to hate. That’s why it’s so funny watching something controversial happen over the weekend. Republicans will have about 30-40 different takes and opinions until Fox News tells them what to think on Monday.
You mean like how every other country handles their constitution? That’s crazy talk.
None of that needs an app or touch screen.
Yeah. I was providing context and a small joke in relation to the comment about how we got here. I mostly play Steam games anyway.
A few years ago my wife bought a switch, we occasionally play it, but yes I saw the games were basically never on sale.
