This is how the billionaires are winning, they manipulate folks into being angry at everyone but THEM. "Boomers" didn't buy $70k houses, your grandparents did.

Meamwhile, Zuckerberg is laughing his ass off while fortifying his Kauai ranch estate.

I fricken KNEW it, Jeffrey Epstein you sly fox you're still alive

FactPostNews (often branded as FactPost) is a progressive rapid-response social media initiative launched by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). It was created to combat online misinformation and counter statements from the Trump administration using formats like memes, viral videos, and graphics.

Brother, you voted third party. Steel man THAT decision by finding any evidence AT ALL that voting for a 3rd party has EVER been a successful strategy in a First Past the Post voting system.

You should look up "First Past the Post", check out how many times a 3rd party has won the presidency in the 60 elections held over the past 325 years, and slowly realize you actually helped ensure Trump was elected President. Then I don't know.. take a victory lap? Keep telling yourself you did the right thing because it's easier?

It assumes that even the SIMPLEST of minds understands by now that in a First Past the Post system, a third party doesnt stand a chance and is a wasted vote, not a defensive vote. For reference, see all past 60 presidential elections covering the 235 years between 1789 and 2024, and look at how many times a 3rd party candidate has won. If you want third parties, we need to start with dismantling FPtP.

What do you propose we do? Are you going to give up the phone or PC you used to make your comment? Are you gonna stop using electricity? How about your car? Are you going to stop consuming products that come in boxes and plastics? What about your family, going to convince them to do the same? Or is it just enough to leave edgy comments slagging the scientists who did solve a problem created by modern life?
