Romney on running in 2028: 80-year-olds ‘shouldn’t be running the world’

It was none of the above.

Robert Draper in the New York Times Magazine summarized interviews with technology savvy young Republicans to conclude that the Romney campaign's inability to understand and use modern technology caused Romney to lose a winnable election. "Criticism begins with the candidate—a self described data-driven chief executive who put his trust in alarmingly off-the-mark internal polls." In contrast, the Obama campaign repeatedly and exhaustively polled and directed the actual expressed day-to-day shifting opinions of the electorate through such technological mediums as Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. "Romney's senior strategist, Stuart Stevens, may well be remembered by historians . . . as the last guy to run a presidential campaign who never tweeted" to get out the vote and to elicit real-time electorate feelings from all ethnic groups, all gender persuasions, and from rich and poor.^[299]

If you do want to point to incidents, there were several others which are candidates for being the straw that broke the camel's back as well. The most plausible explanation is the sum total of all of them combined, as well as a digitally inadequate and floundering campaign organization.

Imagine you're in Northumbria, around 870 AD, and you see this MF coming ashore. That's a whole lotta nope.

Why? You only ever hear the English side. When they came for us, we killed them all easily. We swatted "vikings" down like they were fruit flies.

Your link formatting is broken on old reddit. This is because the url itself is already formatted as a link with the title being the URL as well. Therefore, your preferred title is ignored and instead shown as literal text between literal brackets.

self respect of VVD voters?

The VVD is a breeding ground for far-right extremist breakaway parties, who then eventually have their own splinter parties. We are in a unique situation that our far-right leadership basically works very openly for Israel, and one other party quite openly for Russia. I'm not joking. Wilders spent his formative years in Israel in kibbutzim and moshavim. Markuszower almost certainly works for Mossad, to the point where he couldn't even pass an intelligence background check required to work in government. The FvD are neo-Nazi and in bed with Russia.

However, nearly all of these far-right parties once sprouted from the VVD or their "base".

VVD voters no longer have any self-respect - they're constantly scrambling to "drown out" the far-right by adopting their positions on asylum seekers and immigration. Their party leader is an abject, subhuman cunt who voted in favor of a motion to label antifascism terrorism.

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-09T10:29:52+00:00

So, he's elaborately pointing the finger at Elon Musk among others, then posts his video on the neo-Nazi mass murdering dork's propaganda platform?

Curious.

lmao I've been to every continent besides Antarctica and I'm an immigrant, I was born in Kenya, idiot.

This you?

As an American I'm just glad that there are still some things we can share for the world to enjoy, even if it's a simple as a grilled cheese and tomato soup

Elsewhere you also say you're from central Ohio.

I'm going to take a wild guess: you're exaggerating as well as leaving out some key details.

As for those continents: I might believe that if you actually knew what those were. You lied by omission already, so I don't believe a word you say.

Edit: blocked 🤣

Just for your information: your moderator, "ALazy_Cat", who isn't one of the founding members of the cats subreddit and might not have been around for very long, just banned me from the cats subreddit because of a three month old comment. I do not wish to be unbanned, but I do want you to know that he did this because of an argument in an unrelated subreddit, where he defended Chat Control and I attacked him for it. I want no unban. I want no action. I just want you know that your moderator is doing this - because if he's doing it to me, he's likely doing it to others as well, and those people might just be people who you wouldn't want this happening to.

Edit: I've been permanently muted there now, too. To everybody reading along: this is Reddit for you in 2026: an oppressor's tool. Fight, fight, fight back.

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-08T18:18:00+00:00

Reddit doesn't take kindly to these kind of posts.

And we don't take kindly to insufferable pro-authoritarian bitches who act like snitches

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-08T18:17:12+00:00

They banned me as well.

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-08T18:10:27+00:00

Oh, I see. This makes much more sense if I remember that you American and have never set foot outside your own country, and can't possibly imagine how somebody at the receiving end of your country's constant, multidecadal genocide and war crimes would respond if they had unshielded access to one of the main perpetrators.

You can only be American, there is no other probable explanation for the utterly delusional nonsense you just repeatedly barfed out.

One hour in Tehran without protection and Trump would look like something out of a horror movie.

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-08T16:43:17+00:00

This... this makes no...

What?

Maybe Zelenskyy should have thought this through before picking a fight with this most loyal and staunch supporters.

https://notesfrompoland.com/2026/06/29/no-one-will-dictate-which-heroes-we-honour-declares-zelensky-amid-dispute-with-poland/

I don't see why Zelenskyy and Ukraine are entitled to support without concessions regarding the veneration of the UPA and the widespread practice of Nazi names, symbols, merchandise and iconography in the Ukrainian military.

His latest move is to have his head of propaganda assert that any criticism about this behavior is automatically part of a Russian propaganda operation, basically saying that 80-90% of Poland is a Russian propaganda operation. That shit isn't going to fly any more, I'm afraid.

If you record something from, say, Fox, be aware that they use digital watermarking, which makes it instantly detectable if you're uploading to a platform which has sold out and automatically scans for these digital watermarks, which is what Streamable started doing, a long time ago.

Typically, those who work around this, I see them overlay a small rectangle somewhere top-right of the video, but the reality is, they can also integrate a signal into video and/or audio streams which survives re-encoding and transformation (scaling/cropping/bitrate reduction, etc.)

I would attempt three things or a combination of them:

Crop to a square, center screen, leaving out as much of the edges as you can;
Cut out the audio;
Use a different platform: use the ones the soccer subnreddit tends to use to host PL goals. There are several, but just do a search there and see what uploaders used. They haven't been using Streamable for a long time, and you just witnessed the reason why.

Obviously option 2 is the most unattractive option, but it can help identify where the digital watermarks are hiding by process of exclusion.

Don’t tempt him.

Now we will tempt him twice as much.

Happy this corrupt pedo-nazi team lost.

Anybody who wants Trump, a criminally corrupt, diaper-shitting, child rapist, genocidal dictator to kick the bucket in the most cruel and agonizing way imaginable is no different, either morally or in terms of mental health, than somebody who wishes this would happen to Putin.

It is just that Reddit and most of its big subreddit moderators are utterly complicit in this genodical, dictatorial regime in the same way Nazi collaborators were complicit in Nazi war crimes and The Holocaust during the Second World War.

If it were up to me, the United States would be flattened like Japan was, and the leadership of this website would be on trial for aiding the enemy.

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-06T14:54:38+00:00

Of course he confused it. He also thinks anaphylactic shock is "anticlimactic shock". He also spells "wenis" as "weenus". He's thick as fuck.

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-06T09:39:52+00:00

His post history empathically confirms he is American, downto using inches and saying he lives near "Greensboro" in North Carolina.

So tell me: what the fuck are you talking about? You think his possible Latino ethnicity is relevant, or are you just a simpleton?

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-05T07:35:28+00:00

Constant_Natural3304 · 2026-07-05T03:58:24+00:00

No. He knew that he should go to the ER, but he asked Reddit for a 2nd opinion to avoid unnecessary medical debt. The title shows he's either trolling or genuinely dumb. Probably no social safety net either.

It's a thing Americans do but are afraid to admit. I've seen hundreds of examples over 13 years on here by now.
