I'm not even American.. I'm tired...

Elon Musk rigged the election to let Trump win. Your democrats hate you.

You are all a slave to Israel.

Please.. please... Please rise up and stomp out your corrupt politicians on the right and the (Democrats) slightly left right.

Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Oscaio+Cortez and Mamdani are your freedom... Please.. Australia is getting too right wing.. Please show the world that socialism is the future.

The all encompassing descriptor you're looking for is conservatives. All republicans are conservatives and all the AIPAC dems and dissenting dems are conservative.

Progressive dems are americas only hope of not being a shitstain of a country.

All republicans call themselves conservative but not all republicans are conservative. Republicans are their own kind of evil.

[–] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 0 points 53 minutes ago

Conservatism in the USA is built on the idea of consolidating power and respecting hierarchy. They want a king or a dictator, objectively evil.

If you are trying to go for literal terminology. Fiscal conservatism would be progressive in practice. It is cheaper to provide universal healthcare than use 3rd parties. It is cheaper to have a public utility manage power, telecom, trains, and roads than to allow private industry to manage those. It is cheaper to simply not have a military than to have one. It is cheaper to bar pedophiles from government than suffer the effects of their blackmail.

I understand being technically correct but it is more important to use terminology the people you are trying to help understand. In summary, if every conservative politician in the USA disappeared today the USA would immediately be in a better position.

Stones and other hard objects

What other hard objects???

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 hours ago

Maybe like, bolts or bits off of machinery.

A fairly common cause for recall is a damaged piece of a equipment dropping bits of it’s self in to a products.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Product recalls happen all the time. Usually the manufacturers and distributors and retailers manage to get them out of the supply chain before they hit the shelves. That’s the system working as intended, and it does a really good job of keeping people safe.

What we’re seeing here is that system breaking down because of the erosion of public trust. Because they don’t know they are getting truthful information, because they don’t know who or what to trust. Now when we hear about a product recall we don’t go “happy they caught it, I’m sure it will be fine”. We go “what else are they hiding”.

And that Fucks everything up.

Nah, it's breaking down because a large portion of Americans thought it would be better to have Trump and friends over competence.

There was a lot of cheating in that election and Elon admits as much that he hacked and rigged machines in key states.

But since Trump screamed and sued for 4 years about stolen elections now anyone who mentions it is now seen as a crazy person.

It worked perfectly. We going learn 20 to 30 years from now that the election was rigged and stolen and Harris really won. Like 2000 all over again except this is way way worse.

Main proof how one county the Democrat Senator and all other Democrats got all the votes, yet Harris got ZERO, and Trump got all the votes. This was New York and experts say that is not how people vote. Not saying some wouldn't vote that way. But zero votes for Harris is in itself suspicious. Add in the fact that when they spoke to people in that county they found large majority hated Trump.

There was a lawsuit filed but that was last heard about it. Wonder if they didn't get to sue or suddenly dropped and those involved disappeared?

There is no such county. You're misremembering a story about a few voting precincts, precincts whose strange voting patterns are completely explainable due to their tight-knit Hassidic Jewish communities in them that vote in lockstep and select which candidates to support collectively. Those same precincts have exhibited such anomalous patterns for years. The Jewish communities there vote in lock step, deciding together what candidates to support. And they decided not to support Harris while still supporting other Democratic candidates. This was debunked ages ago, but you're still spouting it off.

There was a lot of cheating in that election and Elon admits as much that he hacked and rigged machines in key states.

Bullshit. He never admitted anything of the sort. There's a few rumors that go around, all stemming from claims that Elon made about knowing the results with certainty in advance. But that could easily have been just some analytics he saw from inside twitter or gambling sites. I've seen lots of people repeat the claims you're making, but when asked precisely how Musk was supposed to have rigged voting sites, they respond with pizzagate-level logic like "Elon used Starlink to hack voting machines!" But Elon has never come out and said he rigged the election. You're making shit up.

Kamala did not perform outside the margin of error of polls. The race was a tossup favoring Trump going into the election. Harris was carrying the mantle of an unpopular president and threw away her one chance by shitting all over her most ardent supporters in an attempt to pander to moderate Republicans and please her donors. Election fraud is something you should seriously worry about if a candidate with an overwhelming lead in the polls manages to somehow lose. But Kamala's loss was entirely in line with the path of her campaign.

Occam's Razor. Kamala's performance was entirely in line with the polls leading up to the election. The simplest explanation is she was simply an unpopular candidate and lost.

The reason bringing up these theories makes you sound like a crazy person is that you're using the logic of a crazy person. You're misremembering stories and making baseless accusations with no evidence behind them. You don't even have a coherent theory of how Musk could have stolen the election. It's all just a vibes-based, "something something Starlink something something."

Your craziness is best exhibited by your description of the lawsuit. You didn't even bother to look up the lawsuit or see where it went or why it ended. You just went straight to crazy town and insinuated that the people bringing it were murdered to silence them.

Evidence: I haven't heard anything at all about a lawsuit.

Conclusion: It must be a murder conspiracy!

This is seriously paranoid thinking.

Don't be Blue MAGA. There's plenty to criticize Trump for, plenty of actual crimes to point out. There's no need to go full MAGA and collapse into conspiracy theories.

Also Subway bread is not classified as bread in Europe because way too much sugar. Just like in the US so much processed food and drinks contain corn syrup. Which is also banned in Europe.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/01/irish-court-rules-subway-bread-is-not-bread

Thank goodness the US has a great healthcare system right ?

[–] Exatron@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

That "fact" ignores that it's only not considered bread for tax purposes. In every other regard, it's still bread.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (7 children)

This oft-repeated "fact" is straight up bullshit. Supermarket bread in Europe has more sugar than Subway bread. The article you linked points out that it is simply for the purposes of determining VAT.

And high fructose corn syrup is not and has never been banned in Europe.

If you're going to try to shit on the US get your basic fucking facts straight

Uuh no, at least not where i live, maybe those packaged sliced white breads but no one sane eat those as normal bread, that shit is gonna get paired with Nutella or other things

[–] NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 hours ago

Supermarket bread in Europe has more sugar than Subway bread.

Does it? The cheap store brand white square bread in Holland had no added sugar at all. It has plenty of artificial stuff, but not sugar.
