A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not much to add here, given the opening dependent clause.

To be fair, the same voters were also mislead by dumb memes.

But the opposing candidate was depicted as a crying soyjak and my candidate was the nordic gamer chad! How could I not vote for him?!

99% of voters are pretty dumb.

They've voted for the same broken promises going on 40 years now, and we're looking at an election featuring two failed presidents, one of whom has been impeached multiple times AND tried to steal an election. Neither of these candidates seems capable of forming coherent sentences either.

The only people winning here are people invested in the stock market.

Using 40 years as the yardstick, we're pretty much at the logical end of Reagan's policies of union-busting, deregulation and upward redistribution of wealth through "tax cuts for the middle class." Main difference is people now view an 8% mortgage as usury.
