Smallville very directly addressed this in an episode where Clark Kent’s mom got mad at him for hiding an undocumented immigrant on their farm. He had to remind her his own paperwork was also less than legitimate.

2·5 days agoNone of this makes sense anymore. How could people possibly be shocked this time? It happened before under less favorable circumstances.
He probably didn’t. He was polling very well. Very well. Better than his last two elections for a long time. People pretended he couldn’t win and I admittedly didn’t think they’d do that since that’s exactly what happened in 2016.
Simply assuming the election was stolen will be a mistake because that mindset will help Republicans win their next election. The voters wanted an irreparably changed supreme court and Trump functionally immune from prosecution and that’s what the voters got.
6·6 days agoYou’re right, but I think it was a combo.
October 7th spilled a bunch of gasoline on the ground. (Almost immediately after that day his polling trailed Trump’s.)
His debate performance dropped a lit cigarette.
In my opinion, you really needed both of those things for him to drop out. A physically struggling Biden that’s polling at 60% would’ve stayed in the race. A Biden with an excellent debate performance that was polling at 45% would’ve stayed in the race.
EDIT: typo
People keep saying this but they haven’t finished counting the votes. In California alone only 55% of votes were counted and he had 4,000,000+ votes there. The remaining votes could easily put him past his 2020 total.
2·21 days agoAccording to Forbes, Musk is currently #1 and Arnault is #4.
Based on the article, that’s very clearly what they want.
EDIT: anyone who’s downvoting me should try explaining why the Democratic mayor of a Muslim majority town that hates pride flags is endorsing Trump. Some people clearly don’t mind if Trump wins.
101·1 month agoThis doesn’t make sense. How could the “Abandon Harris” movement start late last year when Harris wasn’t even the candidate?
18·2 months agoWatch her other interviews. She’s always nervous and fidgety. She claims she gets uncomfortable doing those staged interviews for press circuits.
I know it’s not the point, but it’s weird to call things “9/11 scale attacks” when you consider how many buildings were leveled in Gaza.
Your analogy requires a powerful faction of people in Poland directly shooting rockets at Russian-occupied Ukraine. Still a significant event, but this descent continually shows the problem with analogies.
1·2 months agoThey are programmatically token predictors. It will never be “closer” to intelligence for that very reason. The broader question should be, “can a token predictor simulate intelligence?”

I assumed that this was photoshopped and didn’t want to go to Twitter to verify.
I assumed wrong.

Yeah, that pretty much aligns with what I thought. A comment downvoted to -122.
First part is true, but irrelevant since it’s a blue district like I tried to explain to the other dude. When I say blue, I mean she more than doubled her next closest opponent (the Republican candidate)'s votes. It would be a waste of AIPAC’s money from their perspective.
Second part sounds like fan fiction because the users on Lemmy I’ve interacted with don’t sound like people who want to see a solidly blue district turn red.
That’s a primary. Different places have primaries at different times.
Yeah it does, because in the general election, she’ll be the only Democrat. That’s the purpose of the primary.
She won her primary a couple months ago and she’s in a very blue district.
The answer is probably “yes”
I have a couple reasons for believing each.
