Lol but only winning the popular vote by 2% against a patently idiotic, unqualified pedophile and rapist seems like a disaster on its own.

Since when was believing him a good idea? I think without some substantial evidence, the 2024 election deniers are just like the 2020 election deniers. We should absolutely look into it. But no evidence is no evidence any way you cut it.

Everyone points out that Kamala got no votes in a specific (NY?) county but it's a religious community that is basically told how to vote by religious leaders. This is only from memory so feel free to correct/provide further evidence

Is your username a portal reference? Because from what I've heard that game is super fucking sexist. It's like a misogyny simulator, right? Chell constantly getting insulted for her weight and intelligence by some machine probably programmed by a man. How could someone be so sexist as to even like that game?

That is what you sound like talking about South Park.

Not encouraging you to watch it, but this...

The show may have also contributed to 'both sides same' idiocy

Is kind of hilarious. I'm going to assume this is because of douche vs turd (aired 2004). It does mock both parties, but do you honestly think that the democrats never put out a bad candidate? Do you even remember who ran for dems in 2004 without looking it up? Don't you think it's an actual problem that most of the time a lot of people don't actually like the candidates?

There is a deep problem in American politics, so a comedy show makes fun of it. And you turn around and blame the show for causing the problem. To be honest it is absolutely no surprise that your country is going to shit.

And just to clarify:

When Obama won, most adult characters that people like were celebrating for days. Like continuously.

When Trump ran the first time, they mocked him by replacing him with an awful existing character who ran on the platform of literally fucking all immigrants to death and had no idea what he was doing. Hilary was just... kind of shit. It's incredibly obvious: one is awful, the other is uninspiring. Like real life where she actually managed to lose.

And in the most recent season they went harder against Trump than they ever have about a politician. He spent most of it cheating on his wife with literal Satan and trying to abort the baby with the help of Peter Theil.

In contrast, they didn't even mock Biden as far as I recall?

Sorry to say you've been misled by someone who has another reason to dislike the show (or more likely, who also hasn't watched the show)

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and your ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Av a proper gander at that word innit

...Can I see it?

The whole truth?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localised entirely within your brain?

What about a thermometer?

"Extending" is the key word here. You aren't extending any power if it's your own nation, it would be the other party who did that.

Anyway, thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

Kicking someone out is not "extending power over foreign nations." That is "resisting foreign nations trying to extend power over you."

You're being ridiculous and clearly not taking the definition as intended. Your definition is the problem here

Ok thanks.

Your definition seems a little cherry picky. Ignoring the obvious role of hard power and over-focusing on capital seems like a mistake. But I don't know enough anyway. Wiki's definition makes more sense to me
