Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.
Dunno, gimme a name of your reputable news sources. I’ma take a look.
Cuz the video in question is as biased as fox news. Just into the opposite direction.
It’s hard for me, personally, to watch it, even though I do believe it’s insane to vote for Trump. And yet the video is just repeatable cringe. It ads nothing to the political debate, and given that this particular show does pretty much the same material every week I’m not sure how isn’t everyone yet bored of watching it?
The video in this post is from a comedy show on comedy network.
As you continually do here with your “this adds nothing” and “this wastes electricity” posts.
If you don’t like the video or the show, here’s an idea: don’t watch it. You don’t live here so it isn’t even really for you, and you don’t seem to enjoy it much from your pissy moany comments.
Some of us have to live in this country where people make the absurd arguments refuted in the video about Trump, and some of us like to kick back with our feet up and blow off steam with a little mild humor about the absurdity of the political situation in this country.
You do nothing else but kick back and watch some political comedy. And it doesn’t look like fun anymore. At this point lemmy is an emotional support club.
Other than that, I feel you. After I’ve learned that trump got 48% or so of the popular vote (which also somehow won him the election), I’ve forever dropped my plans to move to your beautiful country. Even if career-wise it’s a no-brainer. Tbh, even 40% of the popular vote to that political figure would’ve been too much for my liking.
It hasn’t really been fun to live in this country in nearly a decade, and that’s me speaking as someone sitting on the top of the privilege pile.
The country is basically 6 corporations dressed in a trench coat.
You need to either find a way to start changing things, or move to a different country, or accept that there’s nothing you can do, vote dem every 4 years while staying away from political content.
You can’t just be angry every day in a group of people 100% sharing your views. This gets you and the country nowhere.
It’s not just exposure to political content that makes it not fun to live in America. It’s the never ending mountain of shit you deal with on a daily basis simply because you’re an American.
Meh. That exists everywhere.
If you got a college degree you can move to a lot of places in the US which have a higher HDI and a living standard than almost anything in Europe. And you don’t even need to learn a new language.
Cry all you want about healthcare, but as a white-collar worker you’ll have a corporate insurance plan and it will be lit. Try some European public healthcare afterwards, that will be a harsh downgrade, I promise.
You do have a biiig problem is if you’re uneducated and working at McDonald’s or an Amazon warehouse. Cuz then you’re fucked. Like for life. And don’t you dare go unemployed, homeless, or get sick. Cuz, life, apparently can be worse than being an amazon slave, and apparently you won’t ever “recover” (to your previous slave state) from falling that low.
And, ofc, it’s fun to live in a society like that.
But you definitely don’t need to personally struggle on a daily basis. Unless by choice.
You are clueless about what it’s like to live in this country. Healthcare being largely a scam even if you have insurance is just one piece of the puzzle.
