orange one robbed of nobel peace prize AGAIN!!
something interesting happened in the kelly-masters senate debate - masters is suddenly no longer an election denier! instead he posits that trump's loss (!) was due to big tech censorship of the hunter biden laptop story! and some fbi agents this week leaked that they think hunter COULD be charged with lying on a gun permit application and possible tax crimes. interestingly reported by the same outlet that insisted the clinton foundation would be shut down any day back in 2016 based on 'evidence' in the breitbart film, clinton cash. once again, pro-trump fbi agents leak an october surprise. hunter biden will surely lose his election race. everyone must be so relieved about that.
sorry, i randomly wake up worrying about this shit now
masters is toast but a fucking kari lake or mark finchem win might not matter that much if the supreme court legitimizes the 'independent state legislature' doctrine which would allow states to simply override our votes. and it looks like they can hardly wait

oh, r, don't worry too much. The media profits by making people despair and causing anxiety with negative headlines and stories about doom and gloom.
You'll start feeling better if you read the Palmer Report regularly and keep checking Glenn Kirschner's youtube channel for updates.

trump gave an interview saying the US forced russia to invade ukraine
GOP will campaign as the 'party of peace.' actually they've been doing this for awhile. the war they want is against brown people at the southern border. you know, the ones invading our country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and knapsacks full of fentanyl to hand out to children

The Synthetic Party in Denmark is dedicated to following a platform churned out by an AI, and its public face is a chatbot named Leader Lars.
The Synthetic Party, a new Danish political party with an artificially intelligent representative and policies derived from AI, is eyeing a seat in parliament as it hopes to run in the country’s November general election.
The party was founded in May by the artist collective Computer Lars and the non-profit art and tech organization MindFuture Foundation. The Synthetic Party’s public face and figurehead is the AI chatbot Leader Lars, which is programmed on the policies of Danish fringe parties since 1970 and is meant to represent the values of the 20 percent of Danes who do not vote in the election. Leader Lars won't be on the ballot anywhere, but the human members of The Synthetic Party are committed to carrying out their AI-derived platform.
...
“It's a synthetic party, so many of the policies can be contradictory to one another," Staunæs said. "Modern machine learning systems are not based on biological and symbolic rules of old fashioned artificial intelligence, where you could uphold a principle of noncontradiction as you can in traditional logic. When you synthesize, it's about amplifying certain tendencies and expressions within a large, large pool of opinions. And if it contradicts itself, maybe they could do so in an interesting way and expand our imagination about what is possible.”

ugh people on twitter who are like - democracy was over years ago and who cares
mccarthy has now admitted they will likely stop aid to ukraine if they take congress - they'll definitely make a nation-wide abortion ban and restrict minority rights even further - try to stop trans people from existing - fuck climate change etc but who cares that won't affect us cuz we're straight white guys (laughing derisively).
it seems like most people i know have never voted and just don't want to pay attention to that stuff - am i the idiot for caring???
i know we're basically bailing out the lifeboat at this point but why would people just say fuck it - who cares abt the future (aside from the fact that conveniently fascism aligns with everything they want) should we just give up and let go of our democracy, the best thing about this country? it's disturbing
i can't let putin and trump win and do nothing but it sure looks bad for us worldwide. ok rant over
lol @ a political scientist on twitter making this point better than i can

disturbed by how many of my friends aren't voting. but maybe i'm the stupid one.
it's hard to see how we'll win against people who aren't afraid to use violence
and i'm somehow once again shocked by how much this country hates women
kari lake is on track to win so this will most likely be our last free election here. hell even if she loses she says she'll refuse to accept the result.
and that makes voting fairly pointless. i'm having a tough time but it doesn't seem to bother anyone else around here
sorry world... i guess we're all going down together. tax cuts for billionaires and drill baby drill.

Everyone who was anti-republican and who didn't vote in 2016 because "I hate both of them" is getting their just desserts now, the fckn idiots, and now they may never have to vote again, so i guess they should be pleased. Self-defeating dumb fcks.

that didn't happen. trump lost the popular vote, turnout was decent to high for an american election even with two of the most unpopular candidates ever to run for national office in the us.

reading up and i hadn't realized how musk & thiel, paypal & bitcoin, bannon & trump, the koch bros and others can be traced directly back to nazi sympathizer businessmen who freaked out about the gold standard under roosevelt & even tried to overthrow his govt (the business plot). musk's grandfather was a founder of the technocracy movement - which is absolutely anti-democracy. bitcoin was supposed to be the new gold standard. a deeply anti-semitic and white supremacist movement of 'elites' both fascinating and frightening

I read that Lula was really really corrupt. But at least he's not a fascist and anti-everything-decent like Bolsonaro.
