I think it's more that the class lines are more distinct.

The more wealth inequality exists, the more people are going to evaluate wealth/earnings when finding someone to spend their life with.

Like, you could pick anything from that period and draw the same correlation.

But what makes since is wealth inequality is kind of a death spiral for a society.

It'll continue to get worse unless we make some big fundamental changes

Your emoji makes it look like the comment you replied to went over your head...

I know that's probably not what you meant tho, it's just how it looks

Bruh, as soon as I saw cbs say they corresponded with them while in Ukraine I knew there'd be a shit ton of conspiracy theories.

I think the one they settle on is going to really be "the media" tried to kill trump

Yep.

Anyone that mentioned it got called a trumpet...

Same thing was happening with Biden this time, but luckily they listened this time

They could have went full nesting doll and had a documentary team that was filming the convention, and the rest of the movie shot like What We Do in the Shadows where occasionally a sound guy just doesn't make it.

I don't know if it would have been better, but it sounds cool

If only the popular vote mattered...

Hillary wasn't focused on the electoral college, she cared about beating Obama's vote totals to "prove" she should have beat him. So she prioritized the popular vote when campaigning, causing idiots to think she was going to win. Because normally if popular is that high. It's implied battlegrounds are safe too. Because that's the metric that matters and what campaigns should be focusing on.

Hillary just skipped caring about battlegrounds, went straight to popular, and declared that made her winner...

Like, statistically the NFL team that wins the Super Bowl is the one that scores the most touchdowns. But if one team scores 1 TD and the other gets 17 field goals, the team with the most TDs lost.

She focused on correlation, not causation.

Because of that trump became president.

Blame anyone dumb enough to give a shit about a national poll a week out from an election. Then realize a lot of Clinton's 2016 campaign people are inexplicably now running Kamala's campaign and the DNC.

We need to get rid of all those people who haven't understood American politics for decades, they're just the only other option besides trump so it still works despite them sometimes.

But they clearly have no idea what the fuck they're doing.

It would be hilarious to just respond verbatim with what trump and JD have said about school shootings...

It's a very terrible thing that happened. And it's just terrible to see that happening. It's just terrible. So surprising to see it here. But, we have to get over it. We have to move forward. We have to move forward. But, to the relatives and to all of the people that are so devastated right now, to a point they can't breathe, they can't live, we are with you all the way. We're with you and we love you and cherish you.

I mean, trump said that to parents who's kids weren't even fucking buried yet.

He didn't even get shot at this time.

Him trying to make this into a big deal is just asking to highlight how he doesn't give a fuck about his voters, he just cares about himself.

We need to treat trump like he's the problem because he won't accept that being American means you might get shot at any moment.

If Kamala really ovaried up and said:

If Trump doesn't like the second amendment he can move to Canada.

Then that would actually hurt his numbers with right wingers when he keeps complaining.

Two assassination attempts in two months, he should be upset and we do need gun control. But a republican can't say that and not lose voters. So make it so everytime he complains about it, he loses voters.

What's crazier is I'm pretty sure he just started talking about it...

Like, it wasn't a scandal that came out.

RFK jr just casually told someone in an interview one time he found a dead whale on a beach. So he did the common sense thing: got a chainsaw out of his minivan, cut the head off, strapped it to the minivan, then drove home so he could "study" it.

Pretty sure it's because he just brought up dumping the dead bear in Central Park, and when people said that was weird, RFK told the whale story to make the bear story seem normal?

I don't know, you'd have to ask the worm why RFK thought any of this was interview material.

It sounds stupid...

But we got Bin Laden because of a fake vaccine program and I'm like 90% sure that was Polio too...

So it kind of makes sense. Hell, that was most likely a war crime when we did it. The reason it's not done is countries won't let vaccine initiatives happen if they think it's just military intelligence gathering.

If anything it's weird they were letting them happen to begin with.

The way to save democracy is getting shady money out of the Dem primary so that the people who make it to the general actually want to fix it.

If we don't, then the people with a financial reason not to fix it, will never fix it.

We can't change it for the general without having the numbers to pass laws, so it's pointless to even discuss fixing the general till we fix the Dem primary.

All the "moderates" that take that shady money in primaries tho are going to bitch and.moan that we have to do it backwards, because they don't want it to happen

Just because someone has a D by their name, doesn't mean they want democracy

I honestly won't be surprised if IDF killed more Israeli hostages than Hamas...

Kind of the whole point of hostages was so Israel wouldn't just flatten Gaza because Israel wouldn't know where hostages were.

Except Israel cares more about killing Palestinians than they do saving Israelis. So they just flattened everything anyways

Removing the disc locks everyone to the PS store...

PlayStation is going to value destroying the used game market over giving users a Blu-ray player 100/100 times.
