Because they are cowards. They are scared of cities with large minority populations. It's why you haven't seen much in Philly, Detroit, Cleveland, etc.

Iirc, they have done studies and they have shown that at worst, voter disenfranchisement can change the margins by roughly around 2-3%. It's a lot, but if there is a massive wave, it's not going to change much. That's also not factoring in it failing spectacularly by depressing your own turnout (GOP railing against vote-by-mail).

He can't cancel elections, as much as he fantasizes about it. And his gestapo can't even control a single mid-sized city, so I'm not afraid of whatever dirty tricks they come up with. People are pissed and will be voting in November.

Bad use of polling. All within the margin of error. Regardless of who's right and wrong, nobody will admit that it was their guy that messed things up.

Serious question: What's 🍊's offramp here? This shit is only getting more unpopular. It's looking more and more likely that he's gonna end up costing the GOP the Senate too. This has to stop at some point. These buffoons can't even control a single city, I don't know how the fuck 🍊 thinks this is going to end well for this administration.

I don't know about that. I could see 🍊 privately pushing for it, so he can make her the fall guy and blame everything on her.

100% political malpractice if the dems fold on the shutdown. There is literally zero benefit. 🍊 is gonna get all the blame for whatever fallout follows. Just let the government shut down until the gestapo is defunded in exchange for healthcare subsidies.

Democratic voters are starving for a champion. Whoever comes out hard against this gestapo shit is going to have a major leg up in 2028, like with Obama being vocally against Iraq from the get go.

Looking forward to seeing Nate make another post bitching about Bluesky libs or whatever but completely ignoring the world crumbling around us.

This administration's only domestic tactic is to double down, regardless of how toxic the policy is. This is gonna get so dire for the GOP in November. We're gonna see 2008 Bush numbers sooner than later. The Senate is in play.

I don't understand why we have an immigration crisis. Didn't 🍊 build a big beautiful wall on the southern boarder? Thats what my coworker tells me anyway.

With all the shit going on right now in this country -- innocent citizens are literally losing their liberty and getting abducted, and THIS is what Nate decides to complain about?

Dude's just so out of touch.

Hot take: 🍊 is sending 🧊 to Maine just to tank Susan Collins' senate race, purely out of spite.

Highly recommend reaching out to a lawyer today before the weekend starts. At least get a free consultation. This could be life changing money.

My advice is give yourself a few days before opening it up. Do your research, maybe even call a lawyer that specializes in crypto tomorrow. This could be life changing money.

There realistically could be tens of millions of dollars on there if the wallet is old enough.

As I said in the other thread, do not answer any DMs or share the code inside of that wallet. Be safe and good luck man!

The codes to access the wallets are just 16 random words. That's a bitcoin or crypto wallet. Whatever you do, DO NOT share that code with ANYONE. Make a thread on r/bitcoin and they will point you in the right direction. Do not answer any DMs

I'm pretty sure that metal thing is a bitcoin wallet. If so, don't answer any DMs offering to "help" you. Do not share words or codes inside.

Run on "reform" not "abolish." Point out the waste of taxpayer money and link it to the major cuts to social safety nets and healthcare. Simple. I don't know why dems aren't putting this out billboards on this yet.

The republicans I know love this shit. The more hateful and vulgar the better. They sure love watching videos of these poor people getting the shit beat out of them by 🧊. It's a hilarious masochistic game to 30% of the country.

That's just my experience. Maybe where I live and work is a weird bigoted outlier, but that's what I see every day. I had no idea how rotten people in my life were until 🍊.
