“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” Also, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”. Carlin of course.
Comment on lol
Alteon@lemmy.world 7 months agoNo, there’s no way it’ll ever happen. If he’s even on the ballot, liberals will come out of the woodworks to vote for Biden. It also doesn’t help that RFKJr is stealing a sizable amount of votes from the Republican party as well.

I was curious, so i googled. I could find a mention that this quote could never be positively connected to Carlin even though (speciallu on facebook) people shared this quote. It most.likely is a wrong one.

Google doesn’t work if you’re an idiot.

Yet Haley and De Santis could make it close in swing states according to a NYT/Siena poll. Never underestimate human beings potential for stupidity and or shooting itself in the foot.

A poll out today shows 307 electoral votes for Trump.

Yeah, I remember the last time there was no chance in hell he'd be elected.
I won't hold my breath.

They ran Hilary Clinton against him, that was a lot of the problem.
IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I hope so. If Trump is attracting former Biden voters in enough number for him to win, I want off this ridiculous rock.

I take nothing for granted with this clown. The fact that he’s still a free man in the first place makes me weary of his impact on the future.
I hope he loses. Or better gets hit by a car before election time. But if he makes it to the ballot and his name is on the paper in November. He’s a threat.

No it isn’t, tons of people predicted it when the democratic party pushed for Hilary Clinton when democrat voters wanted Bernie Sanders.
schmidtster@lemmy.world 7 months ago
And that’s how propaganda works folks.
Steeve@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
You’re going to have to be more specific there
Steeve@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
That edit is absolutely embarrassing. Is your team winning really more important than democracy? It’s “propaganda” when real emails proving bias are leaked because it was your preferred political party? Come on.

Some mod want to explain why my comments were removed for “misinformation” for sharing the DNC email leak showing bias against Bernie Sanders?

Would you like to explain exactly which aspect of my comment that stated that this event, that actually happened and I provided evidence of, is misinformation?
