You act like it is the Democratic parties responsibility to inoculate against all the problems the Republicans created.
The conservatives lost because the Democratic Party did their policies better than they could. They moved to the right and instead of trying to counter them the conservatives just went off the deep end.
I don't feel sorry for them nor do I applaud the direction the Democratic party went.
The Democratic party should play to these young men's insecurities, lie to them, and turn them against society am I right?
This is propaganda, psychological manipulation that the conservatives are using. Fear following into hate is a very effective tactic.
There is no effective counter because now you have to convince a incel they are wrong. People believe what they hear especially if you are using the best of psychology to fuck with them.
This is a dumb take. The artist doesn't listen to the clay when he molds it. This is not about listening. It is about telling.
Impressionable young men being propagandized to. Manipulated to be political about topics they don't understand.
Being fed lies that will hurt them and everyone around them the rest of their lives so someone can get their money and their votes.
They are not tapping these young men's reality. They are creating it.
No doubt about that. The real question is how do we move forward with the least loss of human life and dignity. Leaving these people to continue to terrorize each other is no longer an option.
For a long time now Republicans will come up with decent solutions but are unwilling to commit to them because they would no longer have the grievances they need to drive their voters.
The Democratic party picks these ideas up and then passes them as law. This has caused the Republican party to become increasingly desperate for new grievances hence the whole trans thing.
To put it another way the Democratic party became conservative in their policies and the Republicans went batshit crazy because of it.
Fighting hatred with hatred has been going on for several decades now. As the atrocities pile up on both sides it is likely to just get worse.
I bought a old Imac at a thrift store and put XFCE on it. It was a great machine until the power supply finally gave out. I would do it again if I had the chance.
I did go back and look at the comments and there were people doubting hand counting. I think this is misplaced and I do agree with your sentiment against this.
That is all fine and dandy, but in the context of what is going on right now in Georgia calling for hand counting in the 11th hour is asinine. There are many elections officials that are conspiracing as we discuss this.
The fact that people are on here doubting hand counting is a symptom of the discord that sowing election misinformation leads to.
This is the real issue, that we are allowing our systems to get damaged by falsehoods. Until we stop the lies things will stay shitty.
"Again, I don’t see anyone saying that they’re planning to lie in order to claim fraud."
Everyone here has taken a lot of time to explain this to you. Here is an article that explains what is really going on.

This is the opposite of building trust.
It is just "hand counting good" with you and frankly it makes you look stupid because you are willfully missing the point.
Execution of child after birth.... Yeah I missed that talking point at the DNC.
You are clearly a troll, that is for sure.
Oh look, it is time for round two: Strawman Boogaloo.
Doubt.
If they had snuck explosives into cell phones of IDF soldiers and then detonated them in mass while the soldiers were at home with their families it would not be acceptable.
I totally agree that this attack was indiscriminate. I think part of the point was the psychological impact of being attacked that way. How could you ever feel safe again after knowing anything around you could be a small explosive device.
It is a huge escalation that will undoubtedly created another huge wave of terrorism. Israel has always been its own worst enemy.
Found the gun manufacturer!
Thanks for that. I am not an expert by any means about reactors. I am just going off what my step dad has said and he was a nuclear engineer at Hanford. I did find an article that talks about the shortcomings of the Chernobyl reactor design.

Totally agree about nuclear for sure.
Looks like you are just spinning your wheels at this point. No, trademark is not just name. I suggest looking it up if you are not sure about it.
The fact that you can't accept that copyright creates artificial scarcity just shows that you don't really understand what it means. That is okay, it is clear you have not put a lot of thought into it.
Nice talking with you.
I am not going to split hairs about whether the commoner would use copyright back in 1710. You know they would not.
For the privilege of copyright your idea must be truly unique to deprive others the right to use it. Perhaps you have never thought through the reality of creating artificial scarcity.
Your elaborate strawman is apparently copyright is needed for the arts which I have pointed out is not true and I had thought you agreed with.
We will never know if the creator of Calvin and Hobbes choose not license merchandising for the reality they could have been hit with trademark infringement.
Certainly if Nintendo can go after Palworld, Disney could have come after Calvin and Hobbes. This is all I was alluding to.
For sure, I mean I get what you are saying.
You can't deny that powerful positions attract bad actors though. How we deal with that is probably more important than sweeping generalizations like the one I made.
That is an interesting proposal. I think we should spend a lot more time kicking around alternatives and then trying them out.
Surely the people who want these positions of power are rarely the ones that should have them.
