  • ‘Good news’: As Trump threat looms, Senate confirms ethics czar

    Jump

  • Kinda weird to instate this as an advisory body instead of just making self-management of investments for anyone in Congress illegal. Everyone in finance has to do that because of the clear conflict of interest. The people making the laws and financial regulations seemingly do not because their above it (even tho their very clearly enriching themselves).

  • Apple quietly introduced code into iOS 18.1 which reboots the device if it has not been unlocked for a period of time, reverting it to a state which improves the security of iPhones overall and is making it harder for police to break into the devices, according to multiple iPhone security experts

    Click bait title as always. So yes, your iPhone is mysteriously rebooting. I guess it just isn't that big of a mystery anymore.

  • BI: AOC asked voters why they backed her candidacy and Trump's reelection. They said the economy and Gaza.

  • That was my point. Most countries that try to become communist start off as soviet and then collapse into totalitarian dystopias because they consolidate too much power into the state and don't have enough safeguards to prevent overreach. Russia did the same after the revolution. Enacting democratic votes and then ignoring them because communism wasn't popular for the masses. It's a fundamental problem.

  • If you want the government to control the price of food, then you should probably move to a communist nation.

    Don't threaten me with a good time. /s

    JK. The US being the US they'd immediately turn into north Korea before adopting real communist policies.

  • AOC Asked People Who Voted For Both Her And Trump To Explain Why—And Their Answers Are Eye-Opening

    Jump

  • Tbf most schools don't. Mine in the UK didn't either. Critical thinking isn't something a curriculum can teach you, it's something you need to pick up yourself and adapt from all the other things you're taught. School can definitely help you develop those skills tho although I think this is just another reflection of how badly the US invests in education. That and the rampant misinformation and propaganda all over the place that seems to teach people to only trust what reaffirms their own beliefs. Society is f*cked until we actually take a long hard look at where we are, why, and where we should be.

  • AOC Directly Addresses People Who Voted For Both Her And Trump

    Jump

  • Trump doesn't fit in with republicans because he's objectively insane and will disregard any and all rules and conventions to get what he wants.

    AOC doesn't fit in with Democrats because she's not from a rich family, seems to have actually had a minimum wage job and seems to want to actually improve the middle and lower classes lives instead of submit to corporations and collectively disregard what the voter base actually wants.

    It is so depressing people see both of these as equivalently important.

  • And the rest of the world would have to find alternative currencies for trade. I expect China would be pretty happy over this.

  • Devastated Harris voters conclude America just hates women as Trump wins again

    Jump

  • That's stupid. People won't show up tp vote for a party that doesn't represent their values and the dems aren't just entitled to votes because trump is the opponent. You can't win an election on just "the other guy is worse". You need policies that galvanise your voter base and actually makes a difference in their lives so they don't feel voting for either party is a waste of time. Objectively trump is worse but it's on the dems to convince the voters of that and they failed horribly.

  • And? It's been 4 years and a lot of factors have changed. If kamala didn't engage with those 20 mil who felt Biden made promises he didn't deliver and kamala has no plans to change anything then that could explain it. Blaming this purely on gender without any justification is just careless. Although I'm pretty sure the dems will see this as "women can't win" rather than "we're deeply out of touch and need real reform".

  • I think education is a factor here as well. People collectively seemed to have started just taking any sources word as objective truth with no rationalisation or justification. The fact we now have google forcing ai answers onto people that are factually wrong or unreliable and most just don't question it is emblematic of the problem. People lack critical thinking now.

  • I get the anger from dems against those who didn't vote but honestly that's more on the democratic party for not putting forward a candidate that earned those votes than anything else. Neither candidate is "entitled" to votes, just because the other candidate is abhorrent. I do think things will get considerably worse now and that'll hopefully teach those who didn't vote that yes that can happen and they should vote but the decision not to isn't on the electorate, it's the party that felt like they deserved votes they didn't earn.

  • Democrats' Gen Z dream just died

    Jump

  • Tbf, Democrats are centrist not left. It's just us politics collectively is so right leaning you folks don't have a real representative left leaning 3rd party. A real left party would institute policies to give everyone access to bread (so long as it isn't in short supply). It's absurd a country as big and rich as the US has such poor social support programs.

  • 'That's What Demagogues Do': Sanders Warns Trump Will Prematurely Claim Victory

    Jump

  • Like he did last time. We're basically expecting trump to be predictable which he 100% is. What wasn't predictable at least IMO is that he'd still not be in jail by the time the election happens.
