I think the real answer is all of the above. Biden waited too long to drop out, which didn't give enough time to properly hold a primary. This resulted in Harris being nominated with no way to gauge how popular she would be. She then ran a terrible campaign spending too much time courting moderate Republicans. This resulted in progressives being disillusioned and not voting. Her stance on Israel and Gaza turned away Arab voters who also didn't vote. All of this combined together to pave the way for a second Trump presidency.

It didn't grow though. Trump got fewer votes this time than he did in 2020.

If the past is any indicator of the future then we can expect the next four years to be non-stop Trump posting.

It being small might be part of the problem. Reddit has more money to fight legal battles than lemmy.world

Everytime this comes up I think about that Trump supporter who was married to an illegal immigrant and was shocked her husband got deported.

The real problem is that these people get away with it. There are no consequences to their actions. If no one is going to hold them accountable then it's not just a belief they have, they really are above the law.

I know a number of people who thought the Wii U was an attachment for the Wii and not a separate console so you might be right about the name.

I wonder why e-scooters are banned on Scotland

I imagine what they're trying to contain are angry Puerto Ricans living in the US from going out and voting. The higher the voter turnout is, the greater the chance of Harris winning. Making Democrats angry enough to actually go out and vote is definitely something the Republicans want to contain.

That's how I always felt about it. As long as I get paid, I don't care what they do with the software.

Not sure when things changed but all I know is that when I bought mine years ago the Kobo site redirected me to Walmart and that's where I had to buy it. My e-reader even displays the Walmart logo on it when I power it off.

Kobo was sold exclusively through Walmart in the US (at least when I bought my Kobo). I think they recently ended the partnership.
