Do it, fuck up Twitter, Amazon, meta, and everyone else that shared a stage with trump.

The only language they know is $, if trump is bad for their money, they’ll go against trump.

These are people obsessed with wealth over every thing else, it’s not hard to manipulate them, but when rational adults regain power, we need to tax the ever loving shit out of them because no matter what happens, they’ll always choose “more money”.

It would appear no one is siding with you, and only one person disagreed with me…

Likely you …

So I understand you think what you meant was clear, but it would seem no one else agrees…

So maybe, just maybe, it’s your fault

What?

Is that supposed to be a joke or something? It’s a bad look for mods to be making “jokes” like that.

Yeah, leaving out EV was probably a bad choice then

And it’s still the best selling pickup truck…

What?

They’ve sold like 47k total, and there was 10x that in Silverado sales in 2024 just in America…

And they’re not even the best selling pickup truck in America.

What metric are you using?

Batts had been led by Booker around security screening at a Senate office building earlier in the day, according to the department.

He should be investigated to see if he knew then.

Fucking sucks and I was literally just defending him 24 hrs ago.

But Dem voters have high standards, and defending shit like this depresses Dem turnout. This is bigger than any single person.

I can’t imagine they spent a lot of time or money designing the cybertruck…

What?

Do you not live in a medium to major size city so that analogy was lost on you?

Hillary was like turning right on red even tho there was a sign that she shouldn’t.

She may have looked and saw it was safe, but because those low level offences go unpunished, stupid people start thinking traffic laws don’t matter.

So they do even dumber shit, without seeing if it was safe. In this analogy it’s blasting straight thru red lights.

Does none of that make any sense to you?

I overestimate people a lot, but I legitimately don’t understand what’s so hard about this

Out of curiosity did you start an American public education after No Child Left Behind removed all critical thinking from the curriculum?

I can assure you, people will find the level of dull acceptable.

In fact, I’d go far enough to say they’d like this stuff even more than anyone else.

I’ve seen a few people on Lemmy get this right, but no, this is not the same thing

Who said it was the same amount of bad?

I said they both broke the law and should have been held to the same standard: the law.

This isn’t complicated, although I have started to notice the ones not understanding this all have accounts on lemmy.ml

So I’m going to be an optimistic and assume you all could understand this, you’re just intentionally not

What is hard about understanding this?

Since you like cars think of it like this:

If cops fail to enforce minor traffic tickets, do you not understand how people will stop following those minor rules, creating a culture where everyone disregards all driving laws causing serious consequences?

Like, this shit is as simple as cause and effect as dropping a glass of water and the water not staying in the glass …

But you and lots of others just can’t understand.

A correct but unfortunately unpopular opinion

she was investigated heavily. did you forget?

She was investigated…

It was found she broke the law…

And she faced zero consequences…

I’d try and help you understand more, but not when you’re that insulting

I just can’t shake this feeling though that things are painfully unfair

It is for everyone…

Everyone else got it, why not me?

Even if your childhood was rougher than most, some had it worse. Like, I saw a story about an adult 5’9 man in his early 20s. His parent took him out of elementary school when CPS started investigating. When he was finally rescued he weighed 70lbs and his teeth were breaking as he tried to eat food, but he was too hungry to stop due to the pain.

So you very well could have had a very shitty childhood, but it’s not as bad as that guy and you’re on your own with the opportunity to support yourself.

To look on the brighter side: all the bullshit that comes with being an adult won’t seem as bad to you.

This is what happens when both parties excuse anything their “team” does…

Too many Americans were fine with Hillary and mad about this, or mad about Hillary and fine with this.

Meanwhile saying something as basic as:

Everyone needs to be held to the same standard

And both sides pile on accusing you of “whataboutism” for saying standards should apply evenly. It makes zero sense, but happens fucking constantly

So you acknowledge Carter’s right leanings were a problem, not what voters wanted, and that it started a trend we’ve wasted 50 years on and led to Republicans becoming more and more extreme to the point trump is on his second term…

But you’re just ok with that

Because you think Carter wasn’t smart enough to see where his policy would lead? Even when the majority of Dem voters kept screaming it?

Not really sure I can say the name, but this one?

That semi-ended his music career…

The album art featured him standing in front of the twin towers while they exploded, and that was the lead single.

It was set to release like 9/16/01, and Boots did not push back the album or change the cover art

He’s pleading guilty to get life without parole instead of executed.

Boots Riley has been saying it for decades…

It’s finna blow cause

They got the TV, we got the truth

They own the judges and we got the proof

We got hella people, they got helicopters

They got the bombs and we got the, we got the

We got the guillotine

At the time of his presidency Carter was fighting a movement from the Dem voters who said he was too conservative for them. Their concern was politicians kept moving to the right, and they were concerned what would happen if there was no left party anymore…

People today thinking of Carter as a leftist is very unuronic, and what our grandparents were afraid of
