You’re right, but the real answer is they didn’t rig the senate races because the libs aren’t emotionally invested in the senate races, so it’s not as compelling as a story.

I have lib friends who believe that stuff. It’s hard to know what to say in response because like it’s obviously not true but I guess it’s how they’re coping. Fortunately I’m not the only one in the group pushing back on it.

Kamala Harris is so not worth doing a conspiracy theory over.

I’ll be Gorbachev. I’ll use the site funds to throw a pizza party and then bring in the lemmy.world mods to manage everything.

• Poison Bow so you can hit them once then run away

• Darkness Axe because it makes me think of the Devil Axe from Fire Emblem

• Nature Whip because vines

• Thunder Hammer because big impact

• Spear of Light feels a common thing

• Earth Shield because sturdiness

• Wind Claws because you gotta be quick and mobile

• Ice Knuckles pack a wallop

• Water Dagger because the only other one left is fire and you don’t want that close to you

• Fire Sword just fits

Haha, look at stinky mouse breath over here.

Don’t worry, I’m not making fun of Hubert. I’m making fun of YOU! GOTTEM!

While theoretically possible, I think it’s a stretch to say that that represents a significant portion of the electorate that isn’t already voting Republican. The only real evidence for that idea is that Clinton and Harris lost, and there are plenty of other explanations for their losses. If you make the claim that specific to where downballot races don’t apply, then there just isn’t enough data to make that a reliable conclusion. It also feels to me like it’s just a talking point to absolve the Democrats of responsibility for running bad campaigns.

Btw with Nevada being called for Jacky Rosen, that makes three female senators winning in states Kamala lost, and there’s Ruben Gallego, a Latino, who’s ahead in Arizona.

“People don’t want to be in a coalition with the devil,” says the source, speaking about Dick Cheney. They say a Harris staffer responded that it was not the staff’s role to challenge the campaign’s decisions.

I see the Russian bots managed to infiltrate the Harris campaign.

Interestingly, Bill Kristol, a top Never Trump Republican, publicly urged Harris in the final weeks of the campaign to pitch a progressive, populist economic message against Trump and his army of billionaire supporters.

In late October, he wrote on X: “Feels like maybe Kamala Harris should embrace Elizabeth Warren’s Ultra-Millionaire Tax and barnstorm on that for the next ten days.”

I’m Leftists Who Need To Touch Grass

Why hasn’t anarchism been done already (on a large scale)? “It would have, but the tankies keep subverting revolutions and doing states, and they give a bad name to leftists which turns people away from anarchism,” is a pretty convenient answer to that. Plus, by distancing themselves from us and from past revolutions, they can try to pass themselves off as “one of the good ones” while preserving an image of how they want things to be without having to defend any messiness of actually getting there. It’s much simpler to write off projects entirely as not being genuine attempts because the bad people took charge than to actually study them and confront the complex problems they faced.
