Same
I was never really on Twitter (had an account that I never used). Tried mastodon recently to fill in some gaps from lemmy but there’s really no good way that I found, to follow interesting/active/popular people
If anyone knows what I did wrong I’d gladly take the suggestion (tbf I didn’t really bother to search but if you reply to me other people will also read it)
There’s still massive amounts of air pressure changes Those can definitely lift some smaller rocks
In 2020 Trump got 47% of the votes. Biden 51%. That’s the almost half that I’m talking about
That doesn’t change anything I said. A significant portion of your population votes for them. Almost half of the voting population votes for them. You can’t ignore these facts.
The electoral college favors Republicans but the narrative that “no one really votes for Republicans” is fucking bullshit
Yes, they tend to lose the popular vote but even then % wise, it’s way closer than it should be.
The way you phrase it, makes it seem like they are a fringe group that through cheating manages to win even if they only have half as many votes as the Democrats.
They are popular even with, or perhaps actually because of, all of the racism, sexism and fascist tendencies. Do not downplay that.
Still, not as many people listen to older bands even if they are fans and especially for older bands people tend to listen more in other mediums
Take any videoclip from YouTube for example of any of the greatest song that is a 3, 4, 5 decades old and it will have far less views than a mild reggaeton hit from last summer, even if the old song has had far longer to accumulate views
I mean, using these spotify metrics in comparison with all time greats is kinda flawed.
For example my band sold just as many tickets as Michael Jackson and the Beatles COMBINED in 2024.
I am not in a band.
Love your comments. Keep them up
Also if there’s a place to follow you, especially closer to the election let me know
I recently joined mastodon and follow almost no one there, so if you are there with these analysis definitely let me know
Exactly this. If Taylor swift gets the swifties to the polls it’s game over.
And he might get sued as well which would be the cherry on top
They were more than happy to have a very reasonable chance of having Trump in the office by choosing not to vote.
Not as bad as voting for him but still not a great excuse.
There’s also no reason to believe that 100% of those people would not vote for Trump. What is most likely is that the proposition would be roughly similar, maybe a bit lower
I’ve had iPhone for years and I can’t remember the last time I didn’t use chrome with it
Never rooted my phones either. It’s definitely not blocked
Interesting
It wasn’t even a video live stream. It was just audio.
Pardon my ignorance but why are you assuming that the abortion amendment is guaranteed to pass?
Do you really think Trump would obey these people? Have you seen his Twitter/truth social feed? They can’t limit the social media he posts let alone the one he sees
They’ll spin it that he’s so poor that he is incompetent or just going for VP for the paycheck will “billionaire” Trump is a good business man and doesn’t need the paycheck at all. But it will probably backfire cuz that just makes Walz relatable AF, especially to younger or more rural voters.
Polls were perfectly in line with the result of 2016
When polls say that candidate X has a 51% chance of winning then it’s perfectly valid for the other candidate to win. Literally almost as likely. That’s what happened in 2016
I mean yes? Obviously not you but around half the people that vote somehow prefer Trump and Project 2025. And the people that don’t vote don’t care enough about it to get out of their homes and vote to keep democracy.
So yes, about 2/3 of your country seem to be ok with that scenario. Though I believe that you and many people like you don’t.
Cmon it’s not the exact same word
They’re called synonyms
I think it’s because skull is cráneo in Spanish and so it starts with C, which is the third letter of the alphabet
That’s how conspiracy theories work. Mostly with dumb shit
