US Politics Thread

Imagine the rabbit hole you have to go down to actually type a sentence like this.

Imagine the cynicism about human beings, the desperate egoism/self-delusion it takes to cling to what you thought was true that's turned out wrong, the amorality to not care about the harm inflicted on others.

It's not even funny anymore. It's not even stupid anymore. It's not even pathetic anymore.

It's simply absolutely disgusting.
There is absolutely no point engaging. It’s a complete waste of your time and emotional energy.
 
Not a single lie was spoken.

Officials saying we have no evidence is t proof it's not happening. Journalist should be going down there to interview people and get to the bottom of the story.

Not parroting the government's stated position. Since when did the news become the government's mouthpiece?
Yes, a woman posting on social media about a neighbour’s daughter’s friend is a good source, worth sending a whole army of reporters for.
 
Not quite the same system, but I guess a similar principle applies.

In 2020, a high turnout year, 66.8% of eligible voters voted, so call that 2/3.

Of the 155.5M votes cast, Biden received 51.3%, while Trump received 46.8%.

Without doing any serious math we can say that Biden, while securing the highest number of votes by any President ever, got “only” a hair over 1/3 and Trump, who got the most votes of any Republican or loser (redundant, I know!) a hair under 1/3 of the eligible votes!
Hilary Clinton got over 2.8 million more popular votes but still lost to Donald Trump. Probably a better example of how the above could happen.
