  • …it isn’t historians. But government approved learning programs in schools. They want to erase violence and normal people rising up. I never learned about the black panthers in public schools. I only heard MLK Jr. Sat at white bars and Rosa parks Sat in a bus then he held a march then it was allll better.

    Oh you are the one with the link to 30 ways peaceful protest worked…that lists throwing tea into the harbor worked lol. Ok.

    Whether or not people claimed it worked or not. Every right in the world was claimed with some amount of violence. You don’t get the peaceful protest working until after some violence or violence from other places for the same rights helping.

    People claim MLK Jr peaceful protest won black civil rights to peaceful wash history. The government and world are trying to erase the black panther movement and the violence that was apart of civil rights.

    Women’s social and political union in the UK founded in 1903 broke property windows and committed a series of arsons killing 4 people and injuring 25. In protest of getting the right to vote.Their demonstrations included window smashing, museum-painting slashing, arson, fuse box bombing, and telegraph line cutting.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette_bombing_and_arson_campaign

    To get the word male in effect out of the Constitution cost the women of the country fifty-two years of pauseless campaign…During that time they were forced to conduct fifty-six campaigns of referenda to male voters; 480 campaigns to get Legislatures to submit suffrage amendments to voters; 47 campaigns to get State constitutional conventions to write woman suffrage into State constitutions; 277 campaigns to get State party conventions to include woman suffrage planks; 30 campaigns to get presidential party conventions to adopt woman suffrage planks in party platforms, and 19 campaigns with 19 successive Congresses. Millions of dollars were raised, mainly in small sums, and expended with economic care. Hundreds of women gave the accumulated possibilities of an entire lifetime, thousands gave years of their lives, hundreds of thousands gave constant interest and such aid as they could. —Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association.



  • Not like either side is helping us. Kamala, Democrats, and Joe biden ran the last 4 years quietly and campaigned on no change. They lost the election by not convincing 250k voters in 4 states to not vote for them.

    Joe biden pardoning his son is his legacy. Joe said he would be a one term president then tried to run for a second term ruining a primary. Democrats chose Kamala harris and she accepted. This country was founded on old people letting go of power and stepping aside and down. If George Washington wanted to he could have been a king. The old dems are grasping at power and control rather than trusting a populist candidate.

    Joe Biden could be abusing his power and fighting for change from the bully pulpit to affect Americans and make an outcry but instead went back in his word twice and pardoned his son abusing his power for selfish gain.

    Kamala instead of campaigning to fight hatred and cause change went with joy and changing nothing . She even capituatated to right wing talking points moving Democrats to the right. Even though policy wise leftist policy is good and ppopular policy.

    Lastly the democrats ran a Hilary Clinton style campaign being a nerd with stats and defended institutions. Obama won because change Biden won because change.





  • I have no respect for CEOs or most c-suite people. I fear them since they are self important douches (most of the time) who i have to walk on pin needles when they are around. They will question minor things like cleanliness or cables not looking pretty when my department has been severely cut and OT is scarce and we rarely have time to manage cables during a panic fix.

    Then they will mandate some thing like use so much velcro that it makes my job difficult which doesn’t fix the problem of it takes time and resources like exact length cables to make things look nice.


  • More people you have in Congress the higher chance their view will reflect America causing less grid lock on issues 60-70% believe in. It’s not like they wouldn’t be in the same party. Also you are more likely to replace bad actors since you will be more engaged and any lone wolf wouldn’t matter as much


  • No more representation the better. It is easier to vote someone out and be more engaged when there is a representative for every 250k to 500k people. I don’t agree one person should be able to gridlock congress though. Key thing is there is laws in the books to unlock more there would have to be a changing of a law to reduce then less people for billionaires to buy off

    Exactly and then based on that number what we SHOULD do is do proportionality based on that in the most even way possible. But then the issue is states like delaware with almost double Wyoming population would still be unequal since they would still get 1 representative but would be more fair for California. Congress shouldn’t have a capped number. Every population of Wyoming size should have one representative in Congress this would give California 68




  • Like 9-10 million votes are yet to be counted.

    In every swing state except PA. There was record breaking ballots cast. In PA it was close to the record. She lost the election because bad policies not people not showing up. People changed their mind in the 6 swings states. Idk why or what for but this election wasn’t lost because of 10 million people not voting it was lost by my calculations 275,092 votes in 4 states.

    I’ll wait until the count is over to check if she earned more votes in the 6 swing states than biden in 2020. But lots more votes to count again like 10 million yet to be counted almost all in states that are pretty much decided so they didn’t make a difference anyway


  • Men are getting some hate when every other group in the country gets more hate by the majority and then men lash out when they do the majority of the crimes. They have held all the power by majority for all of known history. So they lash out.

    The abuser is crying because it gets a bit of its medicine now it wants to actively harm others more. Be better and you won’t be hated. I don’t have problems with minorities and women why I support them. It’s called being one of the good one’s and having empathy. I understand why someone would be apprehensive when I walk in the room. I could sell them out and jail them or SA them and get away with it for all they know. Earn trust.


  • Ok 42% of men voted for your rights. Most violent crime, SA, and murder is done by men. Potentially in the near future you can’t escape a marriage without a “good” reason and you can’t abort a forced pregnancy.
    Bears. Potentially murder and maul you. Majority of bear to human interactions are non violent and happens numerically wise less than Bears. You interact with men more than Bears. By a million times. The interactions with a male could be worse. Than just killed or hurt severally. Which is the only thing you get from a bear.

    Yes not all men but most men don’t support your rights and crimes are mostly men. Bear impacts are better outcomes than a bad man impacts


  • Pretty much 15 million people didn’t vote this election who voted in 2020. Major difference was every one was home. A good bit of people had nothing to do in 2020. 2024 we had to work and a life not a good reason but turns out without a national holiday with everyone off but emergency services. 15 million less people voted.

    Pretty much every republican voted except 2-3 million. 11-12 million democrats were doing other things this year
