They don’t vote as much. They trust the media telling them that oligarchy is bestest for them. Talking point like Harris wants to raise taxes, and Trump wants to lower taxes ignores the context that those raises/lowers are on the rich/oligarchs, and being lower information/invested voters they get deceived.

Well over 95% of the public does not understand the tax code well enough to pay attention to tax proposals, and many poor/simplest tax filings are given to external services. Scamming the public on tax policy, and especially in electoral propaganda/deception, it is very easy to sell stronger oligarchy power over a declining America as if that will improve America if it is shouted loud enough.

I came hoping the hotties would be free, and to download a car.

Police usually find vehicle owners quickly when they have plate numbers. If car/owner is not home, then they will often tell public to be on lookout. They could have said colour/model or picture of Volvo if that is all they have… maybe they have all the info they need. Maybe they ask public for help later. Vehicle ID is usually enough to catch someone quickly.

Not clear that vehicle has been ID’d from that story. Says Volvo, but no specifics known. Is ID from another source?

Another possibility is that the opposition parties unite to form the government - the largest one, the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP), won 148 seats up from 98 previously.

But that is a more unlikely scenario as Japan’s opposition parties historically have faced difficulty in uniting or convincing voters they are a viable option to govern.

Extremely strange conclusions. If they won the election there is no “convincing voters” step for parliamentary alliances. I don’t know if BBC is displaying outrageous favoritism, or if Japan is truly weird.

Both China and North America weaned themselves from coal mostly due to urban pollution concerns. India has the advantage of going straight to renewables instead of the intermediate NG route. One of the most successful EV promoting policies, that happens to be free, is cities restricting ICE license plates to certain days of the week.

EV models now cheaper than ICE vehicles even in the west is the best incentive of all. India foreign policy shifting towards closer tie to China and away from US is certain to accelerate Indian manufacturing sector/investment: https://asiatimes.com/2024/10/why-modis-shifting-away-from-us-toward-china/

I don’t know details of space contracts. Seems SpaceX has more capabilities, and so on merits, could be argued to get new contracts or replace underperforming contractors. It got paid to fix Boeing failure, for example, despite Musk being all in on GOP. The bribe level favouring Trump is sure to outweigh Bezos influence on top of merits.

“We need to have the firm support of our European partners, of our American partners,” Zourabichvili said.

Imagine if Trump said this after the election loss about Russian and Israeli partners?

Russian influence could have helped, but calling it propaganda is traitorous. Especially when embracing west’s warmongering demonism. It is possible to take a constructive opposition role that is in favour of expanding Georgia’s trade and liberalism without the ambition of turning it into another Ukraine. The nazi dynamics of Ukraine don’t exist to fake a liberal revolution, and CIA agencies have been kicked out of country.

that seems to be Israel’s SOP

this is not binary solo :P

Doubt Bezos has done enough to outbribe SpaceX. He should have gone all in on Harriss even if that is somehow a longshot now.

A poll released Monday conducted by Arab News/YouGov found that Trump led Harris 45 percent to 43 percent among Arab Americans. Those voters said that they viewed Trump as more supportive of Israel’s current government, but that he was more likely to end the conflict.

In 2020, FL Hispanics were bombarded with ads saying that Biden would give away Florida to Castro as part of his love for communism or deport them all to Cuba. Trump won FL by a large margin, mostly because Miami area was not as blue as in the past. 60% of FL voters still voted for $15 minimum wage.

In 2020, also, heavily hispanic southern counties of TX went pro Trump on ads that there would be a lot of work in the counties from building walls.

AIPAC lobby has spent record amounts on primaries for democrats this year where the incumbent supported a ceasefire. The only ones AIPAC won were ones where they did not mention Israel at all. Other Republican PACs are blanketing Arab zip codes with how pro Israel Harris is, and Jewish zip codes with how she is a muslim plant.

While Trump very proudly has RFK boast of his desire to end the most stupid war the US has ever conducted, Trump is favoured by Netanyahu, including reported daily strategy calls on how to sabotage Biden’s fake constraints policies. He is more likely to believe any benefits Netanyahu tells him of a full war on Iran/Lebanon/Syria over any prudence.

Trump’s main claim for 2020 election “rigging” is that a Hunter Biden laptop existed, without anything implicating President on it. But republican rigging of misinformation, and vote suppression, just wasn’t enough even though that nothing story was still all over the news.

There are serious problems with US electoral system, and it is orders of magnitude worse every cycle.

Very substantive retort. It is only the people against war that have to be paid for it. The pro war demons are all in it for love.

Not at all. A monarchy is better than current oligarchy/hegemonic system. There is some sustainability aspect to it instead of pure corrupt evil. UBI is more important than democracy and ends up fixing democracy, because even in an idiocracy “I like money” is understood, and voting against theft/corruption becomes obvious no matter what zionist media tells you.

A king can appoint regulators. Even if he is greedy and enriched from country ownership, he doesn’t need to compromise people’s safety through bribes from oligarchy. Democracy for the oligarchy by the oligarchy is the problem. There’s only one way to fix it.

It’s not media: In International Relations circles nobody believed Russia would attack Ukraine even when they were doing it.

That is a complete joke. US provoked war with no other option for Russia. The US risks collapse if you can’t walk out whatever bubble made you say that absurdity.

UBI/freedom dividends is not discretionary. Sure the IRS has to apply rules to determine refund amounts, but they don’t get calls from politicians telling the to target someone with harassment.

Someone also has to be responsible for things like infrastructure and ensuring things like food is being inspected.

That is absolutely a useful government function that sane people would vote to keep. It’s the CIA/warmongering apparatus that Israel needs to control. The dog catchers don’t need a force for corruption behind their appointment.

So how do the people doing those things get chosen fairly if not by citizens voting for them?

Currently, you only vote for the most Israel loyal candidate you are told to, who then appoints those roles. The advantages of theoretical democracy can occur only after the systemic corruption forces are exterminated. Step 1 is being angry at how corrupt and evil governance is structured, instead of pretending its not.

I know the media you trust as honest has been telling you Ukraine has been winning all of this time, and you don’t think your wet dream is the slightest bit demonic, but there is no ambition to win. It’s just a ploy for high oil and weapons profits. The reality distortion has no effect on Russians. Just the foolish westoids who think their empire is helping them while being totally sustainable.

UBI/freedom dividends is real freedom for people, that disempowers state’s discretionary power. You stop either making the leaders responsible or seeking a new hero to save economy/society. With poverty eliminated, “heroes” that promise to cure it can be discarded. A zionist/warmongering/demonic empire with media cartel devoted to it loses its power to corrupt democracy by telling you which demonic alternative to vote for. An empire’s theft is directly cash taken away from everyone’s pocket equally, and so is a very hard sale. There is still opportunity for government programs that enhance society/economy but society should get a good return for those investments.

Democracy is good in theory. CIA/media distortion of it means it is worthless in practice. At least a monarchy, even if it makes the rulers as rich as our democratic systems, has national sustainability without outside corruption as an inherently valued goal to pass on to monarch’s heirs. Israel first rule in US, and CIA first rule every where else completely corrupts any theoretical value of democracy, and in fact makes corruption dead simple.
