The Donald vs Big Tech

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

But... he was bombing left, right and centre. And he made that less transparent (pretty sure it was talked about on here at the time... his pursuit of drone strikes in general was anyway):

A drop in the ocean compared to the two slices of mouldy bread he was sandwiched between.

[Ollkiller]

Drone strikes increased under trump. Doesn't matter much as the pricks were at it.

[Caomhaoin]

Maybe, but he fired that prick Bolton and dismissed any notions of attacking Iran. His philosophy is focussing American economic power as a tool of coercion and giving preference to domestic issues rather than foreign adventurism.

They are all pricks, but he's less bloodthirsty than most.

We can all agree Bolton is a nasty piece of shit. Is America pulling back from foreign intervention a good or bad thing. Now take Iraq and Afghanistan and the likes it's been
fucking awful. But if they totally pulled back what would China and Russia start doing. If there's no one to stand up to Russia would he go back for Georgia again and others?

[Caomhaoin]

China want Taiwan. There is a deterrent in place already, American bases in Spain, Germany or Kosovo make zero difference to that.

The western anti-Russian propaganda since the start of the conflict with Ukraine is absolutely laughable, complete bullshit about wanting to plough into Poland and Lithuania. The objective, clear enough, is to rally public opinion and dampen a war-weary public's growing apathy. Russian state TV is as one-sided and dishonest as you'd expect. The Guardian, BBC and all the other usual suspects are equally cuntish, without the caveat of ostensibly having a dog in the fight. Whatever your position on this situation it didn't just fall out of the sky. There are guidelines in most mainstream outlets about playing down Russian successes and sexing the Ukrainians up to the max, like what's happening this week, which is a desperate publicity stunt doomed to ignominy. But the BBC are going on like it's the liberation of Paris.

Result? Wholesale brainwashing on both sides and ordinary people not really knowing what the fuck is happening.

Apart from insisting on defending the indefensible around the Israelis, surely Kennedy would be man if his well hadn't been poisoned by both sides.

Democrats are throwing loads of money at trying to get him removed from the ballot in as many states they can.

[Caomhaoin]

Hard to know whether he'd take more votes away from Harris or Trump.

It's a testament to how divisive Trump is that his detractors are practicing such self delusion about Harris. She's achieved nothing of note, had next to no supporters in the primary in 2019 and has made a fool of herself to such an extent that she was shuffled stage right for the guts of 18 months.

Now she's 'historic', 'driven' and our boy in blue here even calls her 'competent'.

She's a DEI hire foisted into a position she should never have been anywhere near.

But sure she's not Trump or a coffin dodger, and that might be enough, which is an incredible state of affairs.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

*'more competent'

Calling her a DEI hire is 'anti-woke' nonsense. She was no more a DEI hire than Walz is a DEI hire, in that she was the perfect profile to appeal to Democrat voters who had an Obama hangover when faced with the prospect of Biden, just as Walz is the perfect complement to her.

[Caomhaoin]

Walz is more of a 'dilute the DEI' hire.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It's just called good electoral strategy. Trump's team have displayed precisely none of it. Maybe they were scared their ill-educated, misinformed mass voter base would accuse them of a DEI choice!

Whatever about harris Waltz is a good pick. Plays the down to earth American guy. Whether that's true or not (and in fairness in his role as governor he's brought in good things) means fuck all. Optics are he's down to earth. As opposed to JD vance. Like wtf would u pick him as VP. Why didn't he select a moderate to get floating voters.

Call it what you want, she wasn't hired on merit.

Ill-educated, misinformed voter base. What a cretinous statement. What, like they didn't go to college like you and all the other university smart cunts? Neither did most of my family.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

You're interpreting descriptive lament as judgemental insult:

General education in the USA = shit.
Largest share of homeschooled children = conservatives.
Misinformed = primarily by their own candidate.


I'm a first generation university student myself

If you're third level educated you're more likely to vote democrat. If you're poorly educated you're more likely to vote republican. All the data backs that up. Like one of the tenets of project 2025 was to defund the department of education. The republicans want a poorly educated electorate.

Now that doesn't mean you should vote democrat or republican based on your education level. You should vote on policies. Believe it or not I hate the Democrats as well. They talk a good talk but are wedged to big business and don't deliver on their promises. Just I hate the republican party more. If I could vote in the usa, I would have voted for John McCain. A proper republican.
