Fucking up other people's lives is basically the status quo for capitalists.

If other people get benefits you don't, either because you don't need them, or you don't want them, then they see it as a hand out, giving their money to the filthy poors to unjustly elevate them potentially above those that they are taking from.

Aggressive capitalists see everything as a race/ladder. Being in a better position than someone else because you're more wealthy/powerful/whatever, is the most important factor, and any kind of charity regarding providing basic needs to those who fall upon hard times is seen as a sin.

It's a demented and selfish mentality that's unnecessarily cruel to those less fortunate, simply because they can be. Anyone "below" them on the ladder (or "behind" them in the race), is less than them. So they idolize anyone who they view as "successful" or "wealthy" because they see them as "winning" the race. Something they desperately want to achieve.

Dunno what's wrong with your shit, but it looks fine from here.

I absolutely agree with that. Either the total number of respondents or the absolute number of voters on each side.

It's still self reported information which can very easily misrepresent what actually happened, but at least there would be some weight to the figures in any way, shape, or form.

I did not know this. Thank you.

I'm not American and I wasn't able to vote in any American election. However, my heart goes out to all of my American friends, especially those in any group which has been clearly targeted by the incoming administration. Including certain races/nationalities, and LGBTQIA+ persons.

Stay safe, I'm sending you thoughts/prayers/vibes/whatever I can, hoping you will be safe throughout whatever comes next.

You didn't ask for it, you didn't vote for it, you don't deserve it. I'm angry that we find ourselves in this position. Much love for you all from Canada.

I agree, the chart is meaningless. Votes are anonymous, they don't have your name on them or anything. So the only way they can get this info is by people self reporting it, or something seriously fraudulent happening.

IMO, the chart amounts to "we asked registered Republicans to tell us who they voted for and 94% of respondents said they voted Republican" ..... And?

The information is without merit or value.

It's worse.

I hate that a single DUI can disqualify someone from entering Canada. I understand why the rule is there, and I strongly disagree with the way it is applied to DUIs.

The way I understand it is that you cannot enter Canada if you have a specific severity of criminal conviction on your record, which a DUI barely makes the cut for. The underlying rule is good, we don't want a bunch of theives, muggers, and killers to be given a free pass into Canada, but DUI? Especially if it was once, a long time ago? C'mon.

I hope the pardon thing pans out for you, friend. Stay safe.

I feel really sad for Americans right now, especially anyone who needs/might need any procedure that could be construed as "abortion" (like the many reports of women who died because hospitals wouldn't take on the liability of terminating a clearly unviable fetus), and those in the LGBTQIA+ communities.

I feel the worst for those groups, though all of you have my sympathies.

As you might infer, I am not an American, and I am unable to vote in US elections. I am Canadian, and while I can't speak for all Canadians to invite you to come join us, I will say that, abortion is legal here. Every major city has a pride event every year. There's always protests to both, as you would expect (people exercising their rights to free speech), but there's no criminality in being LGBTQIA+ nor in getting an abortion.

Personally, anyone who wants to abandon this fight and flee to the north, I don't blame you, and if we ever meet, you will be accepted by me and the people I know for who you are.

Be safe, take care of yourself.

truly remarkable cinematic masterpieces that he's created over the years.

That may be the better mantra, but sometimes, you just gotta.... Viva la revolution! ...to get anything fucking fixed.

Pretty sure it was bleach, and I'm pretty sure that the end result will be the same either way.
