I doubt that. Consider what we saw with all of the COVID disinformation on social media. I think the idea that social media has no impact on election results is very wrong.
Hopefully Chidi and Eleanor will save us all soon.
Another straight white dude here. I also voted Harris. I stumbled upon this:

Combine that gross ignorance and Palestine stupidity and here we are. Trump literally told Israel to end it. We know what that means.
As an American, I agree.
Trump will go along with whatever Israel wants to do. If Hamas was in power, I can all but guarantee they would be doing the same shit, if not worse.
ETA: I'm not advocating for what is going. I'm just rather pissed that so many people keep doing the counterproductive thing of using this as a reason to vote trump or sit this out. Considering that Trump is worse in this regard and with global warming, humanities only chance is to ramp up efforts like the US is a lost cause, because for the next 2 years at least, we are.
USian Harris voter here. I am disappointed in you all. Everyone knows that's worse.
I suspect the down votes think I voted fascist. I voted Harris.
so gas prices would go down.
Which is stupid, because economists pretty much agree that his tariffs will cause massive inflation.
I had a random conversation today with someone that knew absolutely nothing about politics and wasn't sure about voting. I would guarantee you that if Harris herself talked to this person they would go vote for her.
Here we have some serious selection bias. Not necessarily right vs left, but interested enough to be commenting about it on the fediverse.
Would they do the same if it were Mein Kampf?
There are no guarantees. Life is just like a hold em game. The only thing you can do is make good decisions based on the information available. Sometimes a dumbass with 2-7 off keeps calling your bet when you hold AA and catches two pair on the turn and river. The only thing you can do is not get tilted and keep making smart plays. Variance is a massive asshole. Eventually you will come out ahead.
This is ANCIENT. Plato wrote this in Republic.
ETA: It has been a while, so I don't know the exact order Plato's cycle has.
