I really don’t think Gaza will be a defining issue in the 2024 election. It’s already fallen out of the news cycle and Gaza city will be under full occupation by next Nov.

Trump, however, will be in the middle of taking a huge beating by all his court cases. There’s zero chance he ever gets more support than what he had last election. The best thing we can hope for is that the GOP puts him up for another election.

Both parties have the same issue right now. Both candidates don’t have great appeal. But there aren’t any Democrats that have an issue voting for Biden. He’s been fine as president. We don’t have to worry about him going off half cocked all the time. The party will fall behind him. The same can’t be said for Trump.

It’s because Edge is built on Chromium now.

Yeah, I was gunna say: this impeachment attempt is obvious political theater, but I’m not about to listen to anything CNN has to say about it.

They’re a major part of why politics are all a complete joke now.

I actually don’t think most of our society is qualified to vote.

Voter rights should be determined by whether or not you know anything about what you’re voting for, not based on your age. People should have to pass a test every year.

It’s not trying to stop scammers. It’s a way to stop other GOP super PACs from collecting money. He just wants to make sure his own supporters are only giving him money and not anyone else.

You’re saying that about a population that literally voted this guy into office just a few years ago.

If people haven’t realized how dumb our society is after that, there’s not much hope.

What a genius getaway vehicle.

Yes. An admission that Cheeto boy needs to go to jail.

I don’t mind memes but holy shit most of them are so bad and the volume is just too much.

This makes me sad because politics are very important, but the media has turned it into such garbage that people have become indifferent.

Not just communities, but niche instances. Having everyone on just a few instances isn’t good.

Yeah I’m waiting it out and trying to build up my favorite community. I don’t really see reddit ever being replaced but that’s only because people won’t be part of the solution. There are too many people in this world that just don’t care.

Once again, Lukashenko assumes that the rest of the world is as shitty and weak as Belarus and Russia. Wagner may be able to get to Moscow, but they would be utterly demolished the second they closed the border.

Prosecutors are not arguing that Trump’s actions led to any of the deaths that occurred during or after the Jan. 6 attack. So this is not relevant.

It means the DOJ has accused Trump of certain crimes. There will be a trial in a few years to determine if he’s guilty.

Max sentence for these charges ranges from 5 to 20 years. Generally, they don’t get max sentences, but if convicted Trump could face a decades worth of jail time.

These aren’t insurrection charges, so this isn’t really relevant.

So, if you break down the numbers, it’s a different story.

97% of defendants plead guilty.

Of the 3% that fight their charges, 25% are acquitted.

The DOJ wouldn’t have brought these charges unless they knew they would stick.

Something like 99% of cases that DOJ brings charges for are won, but that’s mostly because 97% of the defendants please guilty. 25% of those that fight are acquited, so still pretty good chances that he goes to jail from this.

Still, the first GOP president will just pardon him, so even if we win, we’ll eventually lose.

Morgan Freeman voiceover: “He did not resign”

I’m real tired of hearing about Lemmy and Reddit. I just want the other content that I used to consume here. I’m getting pretty tired of hearing how bad Reddit is doing.
