i spit on haters Posted Wednesday at 03:47 PM Posted Wednesday at 03:47 PM Tesla isn't even performing well in countries that largely prefer EVs. We all laugh at the rapid demise of Tesla is it really hurting Elon that much ? I don't think so. And I thought most of his bread & butter comes from SpaceX and not Tesla ? I'm glad people are revolting in whatever degree, though.

What could possibly go wrong there? Especially after Musk has become a political liability and Trump totally doesn't have a reputation for turning on his own
Communion Posted Wednesday at 04:06 PM Posted Wednesday at 04:06 PM (edited) 59 minutes ago, Nights said: Genuine question from a non-American: What are the concerns surrounding laws requiring a voter ID to vote or voters needing to prove citizenship to register to vote, and similar regulations? I'm asking because in my country and many countries these are standard regulations and they make complete sense to me, to bolster the integrity of the electoral system. When registering to vote here, you have to go through a whole process to prove your residence in the area you're registering to vote in and you have to present an photo ID (preferably the provided voters' ID, but not necessarily) in order to cast your ballot. The pushback against this particular type of regulation has always puzzled me a bit. It's because America is ironically a high trust AND low trust society and no one carries an abundance of information with them. The idea of a police man stopping you and asking you to identify yourself with documents is seen as a kind of overreach except in cases like driving. We can't even pass gun laws because some Americans believe it's overreach to be stopped and asked if you have a permit to carry an assault rifle djdhjdd. Dems have strayed away from voter ID laws because the set up of a 50 state federation with different laws that set different standards opens up a lane for exploitation of it by Republicans. A blue state might consider a college photo ID a valid form of ID but a red state might not. We're also talking about two separate issues - registering to vote (getting on the voter rolls) and actually casting a ballot (proving you are who you say you are). Because we already have tight regulations on the former like you obviously needing a citizen SSN to register to vote, examples of illegal ballot casting are so few and far in-between and are things like someone voting in the wrong district or thinking they were eligible to vote and the clerk let them vote but turns out their felony wasn't expunged so they actually legally can't vote in states that don't let those with felonies regain their voting rights. If Dems could get it so the US Federal government sent every citizen a uniform national ID card for free, and this is what you would present to vote, Dems would probably find less pushback from liberal and progressive voters on the issue.

High voter turnout for this election in Wisconsin has nothing to do with Kamala. It has everything to do with Trump literally dismantling this country for past 2 months. Yall will literally do everything in your power to stupidly blame Kamala for something or downplay her Kamala lost Wisconsin by less than 1% prior to Trump's tyranny. There will obviously be a strong shift left in a swing state after his antics It's a bit of both imo! But yes it's not simply cuz it was Kamala. A lot of it also has to do with the maga cult only voting for Trump and nothing else

Relampago. Posted Wednesday at 04:40 PM Posted Wednesday at 04:40 PM Kamala was uniquely unpopular, she had extremely low approval ratings as VP (yes, they did rise once she became the candidate) and was associated with the most unpopular administration in modern history. All that aside, she was *still* unpopular during her 2020 primary campaign. Let's not play pretend here. Regardless of whether it was or wasn't her fault, she was just not someone people connected with for whatever reason. That's just the truth. The fact they had to lock away and muzzle Walz because he might overshadow her says a lot too. 1 1

Musk isn't gonna go quietly, he essentially knows where Trump's bodies are buried and because of this Trump isn't going to (atleast publicly) ruffle his feathers. I'm ready for this messy fallout

And what a stupid decision this was. Walz was clearly more than ready to be the attack dog for the campaign and they shoulda just let him. Overshadowing her was so irrelevant at that point since she would be the one inevitably facing Trump on the debate stage. These types of missteps of her campaign would be comical if it didn't lead us straight to Velveeta Voldemort smh! 3

We know this now, but I don't begrudge anyone who had hope in 2024, myself included. And tbh, I still like her, but, as you said, the truth is she just didn't connect for whatever the reasons people have. Oh, well. ---- Great news from last night, even in Florida. Not sure if this is a reaction to Trump and buyer's remorse or just a continuation of the GOP being so insane that the average voter wants nothing to do with them. Voters being able to separate Trump from GOP the way they do will never not be insane to me. We'll vote for Trump but not for the Republicans lol. Get a grip. 2 2

I suggested this and a MAGAt suggested to me that a national ID card would be like the equivalent of "1930s Germany". So they demand that people show photo ID to vote but don't want everyone to have one. It's pretty clear what their intentions are here. Edited Wednesday at 05:11 PM by nadiamendell 1
Thuggin Posted Wednesday at 05:14 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:14 PM I wonder if non-Presidential year House elections in other states will swing more than Florida did. Because in 2022 Florida along with New York was one of the few states that actually did experience a massive red wave.

There will obviously be a strong shift left in a swing state after his antics It's hard to really say with just a couple of special elections, though. I can see the argument that this election was a pushback on Trump and Elon, but I can also see the argument that turnout was bad in 2024 because people weren't excited for Kamala. I don't think those things are mutually exclusive. Of course the leftists are going to drag Kamala any chance they get (they've shown themselves to be no different from the right when it comes to attacking black women) because all they care about is "being right". One thing we do know is that voters love to separate Trump from the GOP, so the numbers last night could very well be a result of something entirely independent of Trump.

Only 26.6% of Musk's wealth comes from SpaceX, per Forbes. The majority of his money — 58.3% to be exact — come from Tesla. Musk's third largest asset is X.AI, an artificial intelligence startup that makes up just over 8% of his riches. https://people.com/what-is-elon-musk-net-worth-11696472 So the Tesla stock definitely matters in his net worth, but it keeps going up and down. It might be that the tech bros are trying to keep the stock up even though the car sales are falling. And even with the drops in the market in recent weeks, Tesla only has gone down to where it was before the election. 1

It was purely relief at Biden no longer being the candidate. Entirely fake enthusiasm. At the end of the day, she was the most hated Vice President of all time, and I feel very confident in saying that. There was no way she was ever going to win, because EVERYTHING about her was fake.
