That is why people in general are abandoning the democrats

It's like it's some response to being insulted.

The choice was between a very selective sheep herder and a very nonselective sheep eater. Not wanting to watch some of the sheep get all the good stuff, they decided on the sheep eater. While being exceptionally cruel to them, this one is also being exceptionally cruel towards the sheep favoured by the herder, so in their perspective, not much was lost.

Da waren die Demokraten so unattraktiv dass sie hinter Trump lagen. In dem Land geht echt sehr viel schief. Da kommt Freude zu unserer anstehenden Wahl am 28.9.25 auf.

Selbstüberwachung bringt eben die gewünschten Resultate

Forming groups is still important. We need it to find our place in the world. There is no single truth, therefore we argue and fight.
Not saying anything you said is wrong, btw. Just wanted to state why we still have this stuff.

Your username and instance kinda gave it away, comfortable cushion ;-)

Just wanted to make it clear that I don't have an american POV :)

Yes, its a very sad dilemma.

I believed for quite a long time (living in Germany) that this state of "peace by codependency" could be extended, even maybe applied worldwide, but I'm not so sure anymore. I still want this to be true, however.

But a defenseless state is still a very nice target. I'm not so blind as to miss both sides of the US protection, and the limitations and freedoms that come with it.

What a nice red guy, helping the blue guy do a back flip

I mean, it's got to do with the military industrial complex, so I can't really say he's wrong.

Das könnte ich sein

some U.S. courts have rejected restrictions on ballot selfies as inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech.

So I guess it's reasonable to make that challenge. But do note:

Several concerns have arisen over ballot selfies, typically focused on issues of ballot secrecy, voter fraud, and voter intimidation.

That would be awesome, but I would be severely underdressed.

I would be anyway.
