    ruZZia, China, Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the most important Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off, are the reasons he won. Let’s quit pretending, that without all of the dirty money and influence from foreign countries, this idiot would have won.

      I think you’re wrong here, as least on the money side of things. Harris out-fundraised Trump 3 to 1, taking in almost a billion dollars this cycle. Democrats didn’t lose because of dirty money — they had more than enough of their own to compete.

        You could be right, but we’ll never know what the actual turn out would have been without interference.

        In my opinion, it’s game over for justice and the environment

      Except that even with these things in place, they could have won, except that 15m voters chose to stay home. Guess which bloc?

        Not that it makes things better but that number is going to be bunches less than 15 million when everything is said and done. Trump is sitting about a 1 million down from his 2020 vote total and Harris is obviously like 11 million down from Biden’s 2020 total but California alone still has almost 7 million votes left to count last I looked and there’s still quite a few votes left to count across the rest of the states.

        They tag some of their military assets with ‘Z’ for battlefield identification

          Because the Russians liked the movie world war z or what? Also I’m still confused why people on Lemmy would adopt that spelling regardless

            They needed a symbol to spray paint on their tanks to easily differentiate them. Z is simple and it’s not a a Cyrillic letter.

          So they think this will avoid bots astroturfing? I’m pretty sure they could update their filters in seconds to account for that, if so.
