Why would we even want Genocide Kamala to win the election anyway?

"Big Cat" usually refers to the five living members of the Panthera genus as well as Cheetahs (Genus Acinonyx) and the Cougar (Genus Puma); though some people exclude the last two but for the sake of this thread, fuck them Cheetahs and Cougars are included.

As I've mentioned before, I love all animals, from Wasps (the cutest), marine invertebrates, dung beetles, spiders, lizards, snakes, frogs etc etc etc etc. However, Cats have always had a special space in my heart. I've lived my entire life with cats, I have 11 cats currently, I work in Animal Care and spend so much time caring for orphaned, stray, abused and abandoned cats; I love cats. I love all of these big cats and it's hard for me to pick a favourite (the Cheetah wins just by a nudge, if only for Childhood reasons).

However, throughout my life, I've seen time and again people debate which of the big cats is the best; well lets "settle" it here, right now Era!

Which is your favourite Big Cat and why?

How can you possibly think that wasps are cute. Like sure cats, even though you talk about them in a very autistic way...

Also amazingly it seems like they have a job.

I think that is just him being hipster about it. From the Rape Island thread:

Wasps to help pollinate plants
fig trees for the wasps to pollinate
Valleys
Lesbian city
A museum of the Creative arts in said city

Aren’t wasps notoriously inefficient in pollinating? An animal lover should know that.

Is it ok to say here that I absolutely loved the movie and is by far the best one I've seen in 2024 ? Is it because I'm French ? 😅
I found it the freshest, most daring and original movie of the year. The scene in the super market left me in awe.
The movie performed very well in France and is both praised by critics and moviegoers alike. It's very well rated on Allocine, the French imdb website. One of my best friends who is also a movie buff loved it as well.
It's almost scary to express your opinion in this echo chamber 😬

It might help to look at the context for why people hate it.

As a pure movie though ?
It wasn't obvious to me how badly the mexicans were represented. It's no more cliché than the mexicans in say Breaking Bad ?
And I didn't take offense by an american actor playing Napoleon. I don't know I don't get it.
True, Spanish and English aren't my first languages so it sounded fine to me.
More importantly, it's pretty clear what is the director's intent and where his heart is and that's all that matters to me. It's a very human story.

Don't be afraid lol

You can express it but it just won't apply to folks and you won't change minds so you'll just be talking past them.

[Kevtones]

The ‘make kids work at McDonald’s’ thread is interesting to me. While the lawmaker is making half-points and more conversational, there’s some truth to giving kids a sense of ownership.

I say this as my wife of Japanese and she informed me there are no free lunches and janitors in Japan. They make their own lunches AT school and clean up after themselves. Consequently, Japan has an exceptional (if sometimes unhealthy) work ethic, and a spotless society. There’s a collectivism there that helps the society function in a way we should be envious of.

A top down review on how we approach this topic is not a bad idea. ‘We have always done it this way’ is a terrible reason to continue something.

Turns out Biden and Kamala were indeed funding a genocide in Gaza.

Incidental pollinators.

Wasps don’t feed their young pollen, but rather insects (a natural pest-control in our gardens) and other types of meat. Even though they don’t collect pollen, they do visit flowers constantly to seek nectar for their own energy. As wasps visit these flowers, they inadvertently transfer pollen from plant to plant. Although this is a less efficient form of pollination, it is still quite impactful to our ecosystem.

Trump could literately sign off on a total extermination measure and some people here would find a way to blame Biden.

Many do this to make themselves feel better about sitting out the election in November, essentially installing Trump themselves

People seem to hate the fuck out of this film here… and that is an accomplishment given how many people here don’t mind this stereotypes unless egregious.

I suppose that the film being about a Narco “redeeming” herself by sex change is not specially a win recipe.

ooh, some great content:

Straight from genocide to ethnic cleansing.

Right, they only advocated for the genocide part, glad we cleared that up.

but the GOP has always been magnitudes worse.

ffs, at least acknowledge the genocide. I know exactly what the GOP are, but do you know who the Democrats are? Palestine has been hell ever since the West decided it was theirs.

Yes it is, NO FUCKING SHIT. The problem is that one side thinks things cant get worse then Biden, that he was by far the worst thing to happen to the region, that's not the point, the genocide was non negotiable the difference was always will there be a Palestine left or will we look back at this as akin to the Lucayan. There is a stark difference between the two and pretending there isn't proves you don't want harm reduction you want to just see yourself as being right.

You people are monsters. Racist fucking monsters. Fuck you

Yes i am here just to win internet fights and lord over your failures. If you want to engage seriously, go read some history. 76 years of continuous apartheid, of annexation, of killing and imprisonment, of pogroms, of infanticide and humiliation. But yes, tell us how this all really ends because of the Republicans. Face it, America is a sick country that is committed to killing off the Palestinians. One way or another - the Democrats will offer us a veneer of concern, while the Republicans do it openly. I don't care about being right, I am forever alienated by the disease that permeates American politics. You want allyship? You want harm reduction? How about you stop killing us, over and over?

Vaguely calling me a racist monster for pointing out how much worse it can get is a weird thing to do.

"Genocide was non negotiable" fuck you and everything you stand for. Lazy fat soulless liberals.

Yes I am well aware, I got a whole degree in it and they also let me teach it to children. Also yes keep ignoring the fact that there are Palestinians still left. Keep pretending that they all died under Biden or the there wasn't a cease fire he put together. I'm the monster for pointing out of the complete elimination of a people is far far worse and irreversible. There are no degrees to anything its all binary. I don't know how many times I have to say the genocide was a bipartisan nonnegotiable part of the election, one said brokered a cease fire, the other is said and is putting into motion peace through total elimination of one side.

Binary? I've demonstrated that the entire system has been designed to kill us all off. I talk about 76 years of injustice and you're locked on October 7. We've had decades of "harm reduction" that was nothing more than a slow acting poison, an educator of history would be well aware of this but i still wait for that acknowledgment. The cumulation of America's failures is on top of us and i speak as an Arab who has born witness to the repeated hell that America puts on top of us - your fixation on the last man holding the gun means little here. I hope one day you wake up and see what America and Zionism have hand in hand led us to.

Oh so one of the parties running for office wasn't committing genocide? Was there an outcome to the election with a party that had not signed off on some form of it? What part am I wrong with there? What part of pointing out reality of this situation makes me racist? How does any of that make me a "fat soulless lib?"

You knowingly voted for genocide. I guess the best descriptor for that is Nazi. MAGA works too.

That's the most frustrating thing about this.

Pointing out the stark reality like this gets you accused of being a genocide apologist.

I was never happy about the situation, but you're right. Neither option in the recent election would stop the genocide. That was the shitty reality dealt to us. And I kept saying that people were acting like a magical third option would appear like a deus ex machina as long as they kept to their principles.

It was pretty much a horrific trolley problem. But I had to pull a lever either way.

The US have never been the good guys. But they are an important piece holding together the imperfect post-WWII status quo that was shitty to the Global South but still far, far preferable to instability.

"Germany isn't perfect, but they are the beacon of European civilization and preferable to Socialism"

So me voting for Harris, is being MAGA? Voting for Harris is Nazi shit now? What was I supposed to do vote for Jill Stein, or not vote? What option do you think magically makes this end and kept Trump out of power?


I'm locked in at the last election, that's what I'm focusing. I don't know how to make it any clearer. Look if you think there isn't any difference between what Harris would allow to happen and what Trump is pushing for then I don't know what to tell you. Also fucking wild you think I'm endorsing or supporting any of this instead of pointing out the consequences of the only two options we had to vote for and how Trump was far far far worse. If you want to move away from harm reduction then I think we are entering that period in US foreign policy in this region.

You are deeply in denial over Americas role and history in the region. Democrats have reliably demonstrated that their vision of "peace" means bombing every country and allowing Israel to run around, burning and pillaging as it pleases, like a barbarian horde. They've offered words to placate but here on ground zero we are witness to a hell that surpasses the 1948 Nakba. I am under no illusion that Trump will carry on the torch. You want to argue that Trump is a threat to the world order? No argument from me. But as a leader to the region, its business as usual. We've migrated from one cold blooded murderer to the next. You want to argue harm reduction for a party that has enabled a genocide. Do you take us for idiots? If you want people to blame for the election loss, look inwards. The Democrat party is in tatters, and for good reason.

 

What can you even say here? After genocide comes exodus. Netanjahu and Trump are literaly biblical plagues.

Yes, hardcore idiots. And cynics, given how you admit the region is fucked anyway so may inflict political punishment to the party that would at least lessen the damage over a dude that doesn’t give a fuck.

You fuckers are so cynical that when Hammer of Detroit was crying about “how inhumane was to say 'Gaza is fucked either way' you decided to stay quiet and pretend you didn’t use it as an argument against voting.

There's a lot more going on than this. There are folks out there doing data analysis of the last 3 elections and the data so far is intriguing to say the least. Much of the '24 data is beyond just a statistical anomaly. https://smartelections.substack.com/p/so-clean It's across all the swing states and more.

In EVERY COUNTY in North Carolina, according to the official election results, Vice President Kamala Harris received fewer votes than the Democratic candidate for Attorney General.

That just doesn't happen.

It goes on for every swing state as far as drop off ballots. Bullet ballots (where there's only a vote cast for the presidential candidate and nothing else down ballot) favored Trump dramatically in swing states.

They do some analysis regarding the data at the timestamp shared.

Some data on the '20 election: https://codered2014.com/wp-content/...al-IntroAnalysisCombinedUpdated-js8_WWW-2.pdf

Yeah, I know, tin foil hat shit and all but seeing it broken down like this gives one pause. Trump said they had the votes and he was right. The fact he won every swing state and with enough votes to overcome an automatic recount? C'mon... Elon's "lottery" also conveniently helped gather a lot of swing state voter data.

Literally the 2020 Trump theories again. "This [irrelevant piece of data] just doesn't happen!!!"  

I mean yeah, this was also true in 2016. It's been known for awhile, but people let the 1% popular vote win kind of the cloud that reality

At least people can stop saying half the country voted for this

Is resetera going to finally allow the hypothesis that Trump may have interfered and/or cheated the election? I think there's enough irregularities with both the data and what Trump openly has said to at least entertain the idea instead of distilling it down to the Democrat equivalent of Rudy calling a presser in front of Four Seasons Landscape.

Mind you, I or any other ordinary individual can know for sure but I feel as though there's enough to form and test a hypothesis here.

Yep. This map doesn't make any sense.Click on margin change from 2020.

https://www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker/2024/electoral-college

You are telling me that EVERY state went further red this election. BULLSHIT.

Ultimately, doesn't change anything. There's no way to know if that many actually would have voted or voted for Kamala.

The majority is dragging us to our deaths.

Republicans: "So? What the fuck are you gonna do about it, peasant??? Go fuck yourself lol"

I'm not for conspiracies but I also think Dems seem to have been super quick to just accept the election results with not a lot of questioning. We just trust that there are people out there working hard to make sure it's all fair and right, but we should have some healthy level of skepticism in there somewhere. I'm more likely to buy into the suppression theories and proposed evidence than I am other kinds of vote influencing that could have been happening, but with how involved Musk was with the election we should be very alert to any signs pointing to smoke.

They said they were going to cheat, then they bragged about how they cheated, and yet democrats accepted losing without contesting it.

Republicans: "Yeah, well... 🤷‍♂️"

he should be removed, but I have no faith it'll happen

Remember all those fucking people saying they won't vote for Biden (or Harris) because they give arms to Israel - idiotically assuming trump would somehow be better?
Well...

Trump makes 2,000-pound bombs available to Israel, undoing Biden pause


I swear, why are people so fucking stupid when it comes to trump - however bad you think someone on the Left might be, trump will always, ALWAYS be worse.
But these fuckers just refuse to see this.

It was never about Gaza, it's about smug self-righteousness and they will move onto whatever subject makes them feel smugly self-righteous next instead of reflecting on their previous smug self-righteousness.

Calm down, Elon.

[benji]

Yep. Makes no sense. Read some speculation that this was attempted in the '20 election but Biden's numbers were big enough to overcome what they were doing. That would explain why Trump was so pissed because how could he lose if he cheated? Knowing Biden's numbers from '20, that would be the target to overcome in '24 (and could explain the massive red shift).

Here's the problem with your (and everyone else in that thread) theory bud. Look at the claim in the OP:

if all legal ballots were counted, Trump would have lost the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Vice-President Kamala Harris would have won the Presidency with 286 electoral votes.

Three of these states would have had Democratic officials doing the voter suppression or ballot stuffing for Trump. And the Republican official in the other state is the one who refused to "find the votes" for Trump in 2020 on the famous phone call.

Hilarious that all the posters pushing back are trying to mathematically debunk or just dismiss this rather than point out the theory requires the Democrats to violate the law in order to deliberately elect Trump.
