Mfer literally quoted Orban. Bruuuuh
No. And i am tired that lemmy is 90% posts about the US while they are less then 30℅ of the user.
Even outside the elections, it is far too US-centric. I mean, it is lemmy.world after all.
I’m sorry if I sound more pissed off than I actually am, but it is indeed quite a bit annoying.
You and me both, but I think it’s up to us to publish content that’s not us-centric.
Exactly, it’s an open platform everyone can participate
Yes and the us runs a good chunk of it
So post non-US centric content.
Lol take a look at the world my friend.
Unfortunately, the fate of the world kinda rests on the outcome of this election. From Ukraine and Israel at a minimum, to severe climate change and WW3 at the extreme end. I hate it too, but this is just too big to ignore.
Pick any issue and both Trump and Kamala are on the wrong side of it.
This post has 199 upvotes and 18 downvotes, or 91.7% and 8.3% respectively. In other words, people want to see that kind of content, so that seems fair to me. I don’t expect lemmy to care about my local elections, I go to local websites for that. International social media naturally care about things that will affect most of their users.
Sorry but I live in the US. You are allowed to post too my friend.
ABC is being pathetically weak in controlling Trump rebuttal time. They are letting him walk all over them.
Honestly don’t know what it takes for an asshole to be put in his place. Most people are weak in this sense, I mean, we see it in every day lives too. It took me so much fucking working to get this sociopathic criminal pushed out of my friend group. Most people didn’t “want to make things awkward”.
Harris campaign requested unmuted mics - it was Trump’s team that was worried about him making an ass of himself with interruptions. With that in mind they might be letting him talk because it’s what Harris wanted in the first place.
Trump would die in 15 minutes.
Seems like a win win
Not a bad idea honestly, it clearly worked as intended
None of that should matter if the moderators had the a drop of a spine. They don’t. They should be banned from ever moderating again.
They fact-checked constantly during the first half, which was a huge improvement over former debates. Honestly I thought this was better moderated than any previous debate involving Trump.
Never interrupt your enemy in the middle of a mistake.
every prosecutor wants to get a defendant on the stand and she did a great job of letting him babble. I think at one point she shook her head and said “he doesn’t remember the question” her mic was off though so I’m not sure

Harris: “You shouldn’t have to fly to another state just to get the medical attention you need.”
MAGA nutheads: “SHE HATES FLYING WITH POOR PEOPLE”
Holy shit, the brain gymnastics some people do on the net is astonishing.

I watched it, and I usually skip debates because the summaries are more meaningful (it’s usually just used for fluffy sound bites). This one just felt… Different? She baited the fuck out of him. There will be so many memes.
And yeah the moment he said the great Orban I fucking lost it, more at than the dog eating migrants and the post birth abortions. Like, Harris can’t necessarily call that “ally” an asshole fascist but like, those of us in the know, know.
Saw most of it. Actually surprised that fat orange held himself together for so long. Hes still not worth the trouble though
He was coherent but clearly uncomfortable, usually he’s pretty confident.
Nope definitely not why would I do that to myself
Lmao
I didn’t bother.
I already know how it’s going to go no matter who wins. Everyone gets poorer except the wealthy.
Well, respectfully, some of us have bills, and there’s nothing worse for my hope in either of these candidates than my grocery, electrical, and medical bills.
Your grocery and medical bills were talked about.
That’s all they ever do.
Say things.
So get involved in politics and do something about it instead of burying your head in the sand and whine?
Totally, man.
It’s entirely my fault.
Don’t indulge in self-blame, take action! :-)
It’s really astounding that Donald will lie his ass off about almost anything but can’t muster the will to lie about protecting Ukraine. No rational person could think he intends to do anything but hand over Ukraine to Russia.
That’s exactly what he means by “ending the war” and it “never happening in the first place”
I hate writing lengthy apology letters too.
protecting Ukraine
So, turning Ukraine into a mass prison that people are desperatly trying to escape, where people are kidnapped on the streets and sent to die on the frontlines? Can they somehow opt-out of this protection? Yeah, didn’t think so, obviously you know what’s better for other people.
No rational person could think he intends to do anything but hand over Ukraine to Russia.
Obviously it wouldn’t happen, just the current front lines would become the new borders.
But even your bogeyman “hand over Ukraine to Russia” is still orders of magnitudes better for Ukrainians than the current situation.
Man I wish your hometown would get conquered by a hostile force.
Nah, I’m busy performing transgender operations on illegal immigrants that are in prison right now
Me next 👉👈🙄
Don’t forget to do their abortions first
Insanely, if he were capable of forming and articulating coherent thoughts, he could have actually landed an attack that would have turned off some swing voters, but he was basically frothing with impotent rage by that point.
Relevant survey response:
“14. As President will you use your executive authority to ensure that transgender and non- binary people who rely on the state for medical care — including those in prison and immigration detention — will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care? If yes, how will you do so? Yes X No ⬜ Explanation (no more than 500 words): It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition. That’s why, as Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates. I support policies ensuring that federal prisoners and detainees are able to obtain medically necessary care for gender transition, including surgical care, while incarcerated or detained. Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment.”
I laughed for like a solid minute at that one.
Don’t forget to implant the voting microchip while you’re in there!
Yo pass me your pet first before you go
What’s the point of muted microphones if they’ll just let him say whatever he wants, whenever!? Once again, all the rules and laws just don’t apply to Donald Trump…
I forgot the movie, but it’s like that scene were the elites of Germany were amused by the Nazis and allowing them to grow until they realized they lost control. I think the same thing is going on here, they think they cam get something out of Trump, but likely will be fucked in the long term if Trump gets what he wants.
I saw a minute or so of it because someone else had it on, but I wasn’t interested in watching, I’ll catch a summary online later, or will look at this thread now and then Will try not to reload obsessively. I need to protect my fragile brain from this crap ;).
Even called him a strongman like it was a good thing.
Seriously
no, not like i like to stay uninformed, i just don’t like to cringe
Colin Robinsons out there feeding from the energy
