@Razdawg22. Thanks. I didn't know I went anywhere.
@Wbtphdjd glad to see you back!
@tgraph52. That makes zero sense. What happened to election infrastructure between those two elections? Piss poor explanation.
vote totals
2020
Joe Biden 81,283,501
Donald Trump 74,223,975
2024
Donald Trump 71,975,021
Kamala Harris 67,128,083
There are still some votes being counted in 2024.
Seems strange that such a hotly contested election with historic enthusiasm on both sides has such a low turnout
I'm told it's got to do with poor election infrastructure.
@BMO316. Why do you think that?
As an 80-year-old minority and son of migrants, racism in America will always exist. I also feel bad for women and the LGBTQ+ community. Sadly, for now, America is FUCKED. This is probably my last transmission. Time for me to chill and live life to the fullest. I urge you to do the same. Do not fret over the past. Make the best of it now. So long my friends.
Survival means doing the things that every oppressed minority has had to do to survive:
1. Defining your own identity (and not letting it be imposed on you)
2. Clarifying your beliefs and making sure that others understand them (and not the distorted caricatures others will make of them)
3. Organizing to protect the community
4. Engaging in group action that exemplifies our values
5. Using whatever opportunities arise to change the mind of members of the majority.
