I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.
I personally care because most of my family is American and because Canadian politics often echo what’s going on in the U.S. Pierre Polievre wouldn’t be seeing as much success if he didn’t have Trump’s culture war nonsense to use as inspiration. A lot of people outside of America still care very much about U.S. politics because it does have an effect on global affairs.
Because the policies those people put into effect have very real consequences for citizens. Especially when one candidate is openly hostile towards significant marginalized groups in society and wishes to bring them harm. This isn’t a team sport. This is a struggle for survival for many who stand to lose a lot of rights and freedoms for simply being who they were born as.
So yes, we should care who wins. Those two people are your options. Third party is not.
Sure, but you’re going to hurt yourself a whole lot more and have a fucked up wall doing so. Not an ideal way of doing it.
Yet we still always have the Liberals or the Conservatives in power… the power always ends up consolidated anyway, at least here in Canada.
I’ve heard a lot of bitching from a conservative I know that “the debate was unfair because they didn’t fact check Harris and thus it was a sham”
The thing that they were mad Harris wasn’t checked for? Her comments on Trump’s “it will be a bloodbath” comment during one of his rallies. Then they whined about Harris not being clear about her policies despite Trump not answering a single question.
If that’s the best arguments they can come up with to defend Trump’s dumpster fire of a debate performance, then they’re really not having a good time.
The police in Ontario are universally an absolute joke. It’s no better where I live. The cops would rather patrol the rich gated neighbourhoods looking to harass people who look out of place than deal with my city’s severe drug problems and constant arson and theft.
That requires the cops to actually put effort into investigating and, y’know, doing their jobs. Can’t have that. Far easier to harass the public over minor incidents instead.
Doing it themselves would take both effort and creativity, as well as time. AI lets them vomit out tons ot nonsense with little effort.
What would Brian Boitano do?
If they are a real person, then their existence is just plain sad. Spending that much time arguing online achieving absolutely nothing at all besides making everybody dislike them and causing harm to others.
Linkerbaan isn’t a rational person, nor participating in good faith. Their entire existence is arguing with people online and accusing people of loving genocide.
They appear to be from the Netherlands, or a similar European country. TrickDacy pointed out their time zones of activity aren’t based in the US, and the name Linkerbaan stems from Dutch.
Which begs the question, why do they care so much about bashing politicians in a country across the ocean, and why only ever Biden/Harris in particular? Linkerbaan, to this day, never answers why he doesn’t ever attack Trump for being even worse than Biden or Harris ever would be for Gaza. It’s almost like he doesn’t really care about what’s good for the people of Gaza, and just wants to push an agenda.
inb4 I get called an evil genocidal Zionist maniac, because Linkerbaan always does this when called out or someone disagrees with him: I fully support Gaza and the Palestinians, and absolutely despise the Israeli government and Hamas. Nothing about the Gaza situation is remotely acceptable and the Biden administration should do better. However, refusing to admit Donald “Finish the Job” Trump isn’t the worse option is ignorant at best and actively harmful for the Palestinians at worst.
Said like a true vatnik on a 3 hour old account. Nothing of value to be read here, folks.
I’ve done so already, and they act like this in almost every thread. They’re a bad actor and not here in good faith.
This just seems to be how they type in general.
My old HP laptop cooked itself to death trying to run Minecraft.
Picking them up will absolutely get you more spam calls. That proves to them that it’s an “active” number and you’ll get inundated with a bunch more calls. If it’s actually someone trying to reach me, they can leave a voicemail.
Not just Sweden. Pakistan now also has a confirmed case.
It really shows that feeling morally superior is more importantly to them than actually getting results. Harris has some genocide, so let’s help Donald “Finish the Job” Trump win and have lots of genocide. My protest vote sure helped the Palestinians!
