I hate this line of thought. Dems were not fooled or blackmailed or "controlled" they just are ideologically committed to empire.

The FBI published an Overview of the U.S. Government’s Terrorist Watchlisting Process and Procedures. This document advances transparency by providing a general description of this system and mechanisms to ensure that concerns about it are handled in a timely and fair manner.

Including this, as a way you have helped Muslim Americans, is a micro aggression, no?(idk a better term)

I typed up a electoralism brain(gross I know) rant about polling in reply to [@Parzivus@hexbear.net (https://hexbear.net/u/Parzivus) bc I'm poster brained.

I mean yea, it's bad bc Dems need to lead like 3ish% on national polls bc electoral college. Also people, I'm talking generally not saying this is you, wish cast polling errors oh it was wrong in favor of trump(2016) or it was wrong in favor of Dems(2022). When in reality there usually very specific errors in the polling. In 2016 people though Texas would flip bc bad polling practices in heavily Hispanic areas or in 22 putting too much weight in junk pollsters. Even with those errors if you actually look at polls say in 2016 the week of election polls had Clinton up on average around 3% and the margin of error on those polls were like +-1.7-3.5%. She won the popular vote by 2.1%, a result well with the margins of polling.

Like poor analysis in media is a given, the polling is for the most part very sound

Sorry I don't really have an outlet to talk politics shit. I typed all this out so I may as well post. I kinda rant some times on here, Im hating on you.

I'm just a chronic polling defender bc nerd

The polls were not as far off as this chart is implying. Clinton and Biden campaigns did actually lose lot of steam and made a lot of mistakes in the final couple weeks.

I think people are coping. Most security failures are individuals not practicing correct infosec, can be just a single slip up. Like one guy in his entourage has a compromised phone and he is shit out of luck.

Honestly, does whining about this shit not turn off more voters than the usual no tv/media coverage ignoring. It really just feels like the petulant tantrum of the lanyard class. Like Kamala is gonna win because Trump and vance are prob the worst candidates you could possibly imagine. Take your win and shut up JFC. Unbearable cryGenocidaires

I always believed fascist would have to much ick factor aesthetically for liberals to fully embrace it. Seeing the baying crowd at the dnc and the way the delegates mocked protestors outside was one the most chilling thing I've seen.

X Edward Guo, a professor of biomedical engineering at Columbia University, said that part of the problem is that, unlike in the US, military research does sometimes take place on university campuses. “It’s not black and white … there are medical universities that also do military. But 99% of those professors are doing biomedical research and have nothing to do with the military.”.

Us University's don't do military research

Yes they do ??????????

He basically says "anyone else". He does do the "harris actually great" but shoots it down bc she is unliked, blames it on racism/sexism.

I mean it just a factually wrong post that misrepresents what it cites. The majority of Jews in Israel are not indigenous. Yes there are native Palestinian Jews. I've seen this conflation of Sephardic Jews and Mizrahi Jews multiple times verbatim now. It central to the claim that they are indigenous people. Idk if it's just lack of understanding or a purposeful obfuscation. The 31% Ashkenazi number that they reference I assume they saw from Wikipedia that puts 'soviet' Jews in their own category.

The part about not having a place to return to I feel is an over simplification of how citizenship works. I can claim and get Irish citizenship if I do enough paperwork bc of my family heritage. It doesn't make me a active passport holder. It also shouldn't matter there would obviously have to be land reform but I don't think any one with listening to is advocating for the expulsion of all Jews. Look to south Africa whites were not expelled, although they didn't do land reform correctly.

The first point just sounds like every propagandized response to "river to sea". It conflates a free singular state of Palestine with a state that would not tolerate Jews. The only principled solution is one secular state that allows free practice of religion and doesn't discriminate based on racial lines. I've noticed this trend with Ukraine but western liberals actually believe every state must be an ethnostate.

azan somehow exposing everyone else by saying the least controversial shit is a great bit

I think sjw really needs to be considered for defed. Maybe I'm just reading the room wrong but lemmee and ml seems to have chilled since the first week idk. I've yet to see a good take from programmer one outside of niche focused discussions on non political things (tech support, piracy ect.)

Edit: there is someone from the programmer one being chill and nice in this thread meow-hug
