Trump doesn’t care. This is a lesson to Trump lackies everywhere. Put yourself first, cuz that’s what he’s doing.

It’s not about election denialism. This is the standard problem with conspiracy theories being based on reality. Voter suppression has happened in small numbers and small ways for the last century. Pick your poison. Are we talking about felons being disenfranchised? Are we talking about taking native Americans off their roles because they don’t have home addresses and they use po boxes? Are we talking about rejecting college kids because they’re out of state? Are we talking about mailboxes being set on fire? Are we talking about polling places that are not handicapped accessible and never will be?
All of those things continue to happen and each of them plays a small part. I don’t think that would make a break the election, not this time when the difference was so large, but it could make a break some elections.
And as long as it’s left unaddressed, voters aren’t blind, they can see the shady shit. So then what, then you just don’t know how bad the problem is, and the same people that you would trust to compile data on how bad it is are the same people whose job it is to fix it, but they haven’t, so you can’t believe anything they say.
All of which is to say, if people are skeptical that the game is fair, that’s based on proven reality from decades of experience. But that doesn’t mean it affected this election.
What a shit article. We don’t get to decide what he could or couldn’t do. That’s his fucking job, not ours. And he doesn’t give a fuck what we think anyway.
The future is always an open question, my friend. And Harris always had the ability to change her stance.
So … Nothing real. OK.
Are you asking if we still think Biden and Harris are complicit in the ongoing genocide? Yeah, yeah we do. Shit is bad right now, long before Trump takes office.
Having a hissy fit in public is not the greatest look, my friend.
First time today … meaning after that more times today?
Right? But American mainstream media would not admit that.
I think many people felt that Harris was a failure, just as they felt Biden was a failure. And she didn’t have to be.
Don’t run a bad candidate if you wanna win. This is common sense. And if you try anyway and lose, don’t blame others for it.
Watch the news, shit is horrible now. There were and are no checks on the Israeli army. But keep blaming the third party voters if it makes you feel better. We don’t mind.
I really don’t care if he’s a coward. F*** that guy. It’s people whose lives are being destroyed or ended, who will never get their homes or their loved ones back, those are the people that I’m concerned with. That’s Biden’s legacy, the fact that he just doesn’t value their lives at all.
I think we all saw that coming.
There are already large numbers of treaties in place for countries to cooperate in tracking down tax evasion. It might not be as expensive as you think. If you think of it from a practical standpoint, we have lists of the richest people in the world. That’s an excellent starting point, isn’t it?
If some billionaire is claiming that they actually aren’t a billionaire, and that the lists are wrong, when some government is trying to tax them at an exorbitant rate, it’s likely that they will give all of their banking details to said government to prove it. Or they will hide those banking details, and they’ll be forced to pay the taxes.
In point of fact, mark to market taxation already does exist for various individuals and certainly for large numbers of businesses. Your long comment suggests that you don’t know what that is, and if you’re interested you could read up on it.
The short story is that depending on the situation, a person or a business might pay taxes each year on the value of their assets, assuming said assets had been purchased on January 1st and sold on December 31st, even though in reality nothing was bought or sold. This system is already in place in various ways. It exists. There’s no theoretical problem with expanding it.
Of course that’s not true. We have data from around the world showing it’s not true. It’s not even true within the United States if you look at state taxes.
Why are you arguing against reality? In the world today, some states and countries tax the rich at higher or lower rates than other states and countries, and it’s certainly not true that the rich all leave the high tax rate places. The data doesn’t lie. You can argue about why they don’t all leave, but the facts are there for you to see.
You don’t need uniformity around the United States or the world in order to tax the rich effectively. But people like to say what you said, so that you don’t even try to tax them.
But I think it would be fun to run an experiment. Why don’t we jack up taxes on the ultra-rich across the United States. If the ultra rich move to Venezuela, then all of the savings they have in the US stock market will be taxed at an even higher rate and we will actually get more money from them. And if they were working any cushy CEO jobs, those jobs will now be open for other American citizens, and I’m sure there were plenty of people willing to apply… Of course it doesn’t have to be the US. Pick any country, try the same experiment, and get back to us.
You can rely on whatever you want, but we all remember what we watched happen on TV. I’m not sure where you’re trying to go with this.
Biden had a very weak presence his entire presidency. On occasion I think he actually did okay things, but you almost never heard about them because he did such a bad job of bragging about it. And the same is true for Harris.
Obviously there are many reasons why people win and lose presidential elections, so you don’t get to blame one person for 150 million votes or whatever it was. But if you were choosing people to put at the top of the list of who made a significant difference, I think you would say that Donald Trump and Joe Biden are way up there.
The Japanese anonymous internet would dox him and harass him. Lots of online malice to be found on 2chan or whatever. No need for anyone here to do it.
