Ah Safari, the IE8.5 of modern browsers...

Like criticizing cavemen for not properly washing their hands. Our ancestors were fucking stupid and what's obvious to us now was not obvious to them then. That's why it's a product of it's time, a window to a past society, and a reminder of how far we've come. I'm not seeing anybody here celebrating racism or sexism and ignoring that it existed at all is a braindead thought-pattern. You're arguing for the sake of arguing and it's entirely unnecessary.

Sexism in a movie set in the early 1900s!? Say it ain't so!

A John Stewart VP pick could be cool though. I could see him siting on the Senate floor calling out people BS all day.

No.

No good will come of this “Weekend at Bernie’s” farce of an election.

Hard disagree.

Anybody who has actually followed what Trump has done / is doing vs what Biden has done / is doing knows there's a clear distinction between the two. One is clearly a worse choice. It reads like you're just intoxicated by the smelling of your own farts.

A better approach I think is voting more progressive thinkers into congress and other places of power and authority.

It feels like a long con. The years of eroding the educational budget have finally paid off. It's going to be an upward battle to bring back logical thinking and media literacy.

Tyrannical governments rise from apathy. The final governmental check is its people.

A lot of news outlets have turned into just churning drama. I've noticed it this election cycle with NYT and CNN.

How is this going to "shift votes"? How exactly? From who? Who's really on the fence between the "Old man" and the convicted felon suspected to be a pedophile attempting to become king? No sane person is shifting vote over this and the insane are already vehemently R.

Probably not every single solitary person, but the majority. I think politics have been too divisive to the point where the middle is too slim to make a difference. These aren't new political candidates. Nothing has changed.

From the NYTs - what a bunch of lame-ass ragebait.

You're not wrong. Here's hoping the Dems show up in droves as well

There's no wide middle, who is actually still undecisive in this election? Actual people, IRL I want to meet them. Not some twitter jockeys or media talking heads, not some podcast. Actual voters.

Do you actually know those people IRL? People on the fence? I haven't talked to anyone who hasn't already had their vote decided. The political climate has been the most divisive in my lifetime, to the point where the people I've spoken with IRL are either dug in with Trump or dug in against Trump. This scene doesn't change Trumps degressive views or awful policies. It doesn't change Trump from being a Felon or suspected pedophile.

If there are swing voters it's likely a really small number. At the end of the day the Democrats are dug in on Not Trump, and they have the numbers. They showed up for the last election, and the divisive politics have kept it in their peripheral since. RvW was huge, 2025 has been getting traction. There ain't many left that don't have their political compass set.

Doubtful, these last few political years have been too divisive.

Let's also take note here that your account reads like a smurf/bot account. I miss RES tagged so I could tag bad faith actors.

It doesn't for Democrat voters. They're only voting against Trump. This doesn't change who DT is, his viewpoints, or his past actions. This doesn't change him being a Felon and a suspected pedophile. All this is an attempt to incite more violence.

sympathy from swing voters

I would think that the number of actual swing voters is extremely low. The last few years of politics have been very divisive (probably an understatement), more so than anything in my lifetime. At this point, I haven't heard anyone IRL not have their political compass already pointed. Democrats have been dug in against DT since he announced he was running again. Rs have been dug in for DT since he announced he was running again.

...you’ve got apathetic D voters who really don’t want Biden to be president.

Let's be real, nobody wants Biden to run again, on either side. That being said, every Democrat knows what's at stake - and that's Donald fucking Trump. This situation doesn't change who DT is, his viewpoints, or his policies. The actual people, the actual voters realize that DT is just a way worse situation.

It’s not about changing voters’ votes - our elections are never about that - t’s about the number of people who cast a vote.

This nothingburger of a scene isn't going to stop some Democrat from voting. At the end of the day, there are more Blue than Red and the Dems are entrenched in not having DT in office. I don't even live in a big city, a red county even, and everyone I've talked to in person understands the stakes.

Yesterday’s event changes that.

Why would yesterdays events change your viewpoints on Turmp? How does that change his awful policies and degressive viewpoints? How does that change him being an actual Felon and suspected pedophile?

There's no real substance behind the idea that this guarantees a red victory. No Democrat who was against Trump before is going to realistically change their view over Trump over this situation. It doesn't change who Trump is or what he stands for. If this achieves anything, it will be to incite violence.

You'll also take notice many of the accounts parroting this nonsense are not old accounts. Usually, these accounts were just botted to repost news articles or memes and only just recently started commenting. It's a strange pattern I'm seeing across multiple threads.
