That was a lot of words to say what you already said, and I corrected. He didn't lose by a small margin, he lost by electoral votes. Saying he only won or lost by a few thousand votes is wildly inaccurate when it is electoral votes that matter

Those numbers do matter for clarity. Saying he didn't lose by millions blurs the truth. Saying he lost by a few thousand votes is not at all accurate when electoral college votes are the only ones that matter, and adding "in a few swing states," only fuels those stop the steal Maga idiots
That's what an incumbency is
While I agree with the sentiment, Trump did lose by millions of votes. There was a 7.61 million vote differential. He also lost the popular vote to Hillary by 2.9 million votes.
Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent of the votes cast. He is the first U.S. presidential candidate to have won more than 80 million votes. Trump won 74,222,958 votes, or 46.8 percent of the votes cast. More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.
Going back further, incumbency aside, there hasn't been a Republican who has won the popular vote since GHW Bush in 1988…35 years ago
Not even kind of close. Legal gun owners can be responsible and law abiding citizens, but you know the ones everyone hears about are not that kind of person. Why don't the good and wholesome law abiding gun owners root these people out? Is it because a significant segment of that population shouldn't own guns, even if they say THEY aren't the problem?
To put it simply… If you had a Gatling gun on your vehicle, would you have used it by now? Most of us would admittedly say yes. Most of us, given unfettered access and anonymity, would have at least thought about doing something really stupid and illegal if everyone had Gatling guns mounted on their vehicles.
Most of us would have killed someone if the likelihood of being caught was minimal… Which is why unfettered and semi anonymous access to firearms is an awful idea
Trump ran as a Democrat in the early years. People love to forget that little nugget
I'd buy in to that. You could even do it the way NASCAR does it: here are the specs. You can buy it from us to guarantee you are in compliance, or if you're good enough to replicate this setup you can use your own, but we'll tear down your setup to inspect after every contest. The only changes allowed are peripherals
City of Chicago is 22,000 police officers short of full enforcement. That means the good ones have left and they can't fire the bad ones, and they pay ridiculous salaries because nobody wants to be a cop. That song ain't called "fuck the firemen"
B.utt P.lug for life!!!
Start with the Republican congressmen who spent fucking July 4 as guests in Russia attending off-the-record meetings with Russian counterparts
What a negative take. OP just finished saying Biden is taking steps to fulfill his promise, and you’re trying to put an ultimatum on “he can, or he cannot.” It is never that black and white nor is it an overnight action
Didn’t the trade wars already start under Trump, and then get intensified under Biden with the CHIPS act/restricting microprocessor imports to China? China retaliated by restricting microprocessor raw materials to the US and Chinese companies ordered 5 billion USD in microprocessors
I guess I fail to see the point. There is no person on Lemmy who only uses items native to their country, especially electronics. Criticize whoever you want, but realize the designs and money for the products are almost always coming from a different place as the manufacturing. If your labor is cheap, you don’t attract the best and brightest because those scientists and engineers expect to be paid well. If you attract the best and brightest, cheap labor can’t afford to live near them
I agree with everything you’re saying, but one thing: the US imports more from Canada and Mexico because labor land and shipping costs less than production in China
If he did something illegal beyond what he’s already plead to, lock him away. Same with the president. ANY president. I don’t care if it’s Biden, Trump, Obama, Clinton, GW, Clinton, Clinton, GHW, Reagan, Clinton, or fucking George Washington.
We saw the dick pics already. We don’t want to see them again
I’d like pepperoni baby on mine please
I’m going to wait and see if Toyota’s alleged 1450km/900mi solid state battery is real. It is rare for Toyota to tell the public what they’re working on until it’s ready to roll. This could be a ploy to lower sales of competitors, but if Toyota isn’t telling the truth, it will bite them. I’d love a small EV with that kind of insane range and the ability to use autonomous driving on interstates
Can someone copy/paste it? I refuse to visit Reddit and give them views.
Yeesh you really don't know how to keep to a side. Thanks for the props, thanks for saying what I already said, thanks for rehashing what you already said, and thanks for not understanding the point and drawing this out. This whole exchange is unnecessary and has been a waste of my time
