This shows that waiting to 2026 and hoping that Dems will take over Congress is really pointless. They won’t acknowledge and certify any results that aren’t their people.

At this point we either fight or accept end of US as a democracy.

Yeah, it also looks like it actually increased participation in LA, which the ICE, NG and Marines supposed to scare

A lot of them took their flags down and sit quiet.

Afraid to admit they were wrong.

Exactly, people were talking about controlled opposition and it looks like it is true.

If they thought he was so left he had no chance they would just laugh or even ignore (which normally they did not pay attention to primaries).

I hope this means the next round of protests hits the 10 million people mark.

I hope so too, but they picked July 17, middle of the week. Women’s march decided to still organize protest on July 4th, which is better but still many perks might be out of town (there were more people on April 5 than on 19th for example)

I understand symbolism, but why not be practical?

Also wasn’t the number from June 14 13.14 million?

That’s not what no kings protest showed.

Edit: the source is Twitter post

Edit 2: so after searching the text I found article on Politico mentioning it (they mention Stack Data Strategy, but no link to the pool) also the screenshot conveniently omits the next paragraph

(Another caveat: This poll was in the field for almost three weeks, but ended just before the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles that provoked Trump to send in the National Guard. It’s untested how those events affected voters’ views.)

TACO had the highest ratio of approved appointees, even though he had the most insane ones.

They had the same at SpaceX

Apparently 70-80% of Americans live from paycheck to paycheck.

This is why safety nets are important. In US you can lose your job, not get unemployment and lose access to doctor.

This. Unfortunately we are living in interesting times, and this administration counts on inaction.

These are also meant to be peaceful protests, despite what some night say, historically peaceful protests are more successful than riots.

Look for example at Ramapo 58 district:

Harris only got a single vote in a district that historically votes for Democrats. What are the odds. But maybe Democrats just lost popularity.

But then look at Senate

Now democratic candidate wins by 94.12% what are the odds?

And this is not a single district, there are many others like that.

Frankly after election there are two things that bugged me in California. There was a proposition that removed mandatory work requirement for inmates comparing it to a modern day slavery. There was no one who was willing to endorse vote against it (I suppose due to optics) yet the proposition failed.

When he visited CA after fires were already put down and made that spectacle with water dam, he also mentioned that he had a good feeling about next election.

I have a feeling that maybe CA voting is also compromised and this was a test for California, as trump winning here would be extremely suspicious, but no one will care about this proposition.

It definitively is, he similar to trump dies not have a filter. He just counts on things being ambiguous enough that won’t affect him.

Maybe not, but there’s some merit to it. Initially it was a highly desirable car, now one is ashamed to be in because owner is a Nazi. Another problem is that there’s much higher risk that someone else will damage it (again, because of the owner).

The real war is a class war, the minorities are used to make us fight with each other.

He gets most attention, but apparently 90% off then didn’t even have any conviction and even those who did maybe should be deported to their home country not to a gulag.

And no matter how much they say they are guilty, all deserve a due process. In a democratic country you can’t just let someone decide who gets it and who doesn’t.

Fuck this administration.

Yeah, we’re fucked.

At least it did. Can you access !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
