idk if this has been shared in here yet but the first 20 minutes of this video are all comprised of names of children. the names move very quickly too. its overwhelming. and this is only 34,000 that have been able to be confirmed, as we know, the real number is unknown and could be 200,000 or more.

 

Does anyone else remember Mono being called the kissing disease and it being seen as like, something you had to keep an eye on for possible complications but generally not a huge deal because everyone typically recovers and you get lifelong immunity and etc?

Us finding out 30 years later (from when I was a kid I mean) that it’s actually the #1 risk factor for MS should be causing a lot of people to side eye the “covid is actually mild and it’s not a big deal if you catch it anymore” stance, especially given how much we already know about long covid. 30 years from now, god knows what these frequent infections will be doing to our bodies.

 

God I hope the country is truly saved by women this time around.

 

This is really the first election where I could vote where I genuinely don't know what to expect.

2008 and 2012 I had no doubts Obama was going to win. 2012 i was so sure Obama had it that I didn't even bother voting.

2016 like many i went in confidently expected Hillary but got the opposite

2020 I went in pretty confident of a Biden win from the polling I saw

2024? I have no fucking clue. Clinging onto reports that Kamala might overperform polling but still no confidence in any outcome at all

 

I would love it if she really came out so far ahead that we know by Wednesday morning, instead of waiting endlessly like last time.

 

I do think it’s possible older women are gonna vote in huge, anti-Trump numbers thanks to Dobbs. Young women are pissed off as it is, but those older women who remember pre-Roe stuff could end up being a deciding factor

 

If those Iowa numbers are truly indicative of what it's gonna look like nationwide.....just wow.

 

Wish Palestine could be saved by women.

 

Sad unfortunate truth is a majority of people place a greater importance on domestic issues rather than ones abroad. The minority that is rightfully getting larger and more vocal can and will enact change but who knows how long that'll take.

 

Something I haven’t really given thought to this time because it seems so quaint to make comparisons to a pre-Trump world/election, but Obama at the top of the ticket drove huge black turnout and margins for Dems and I feel like collectively the entire election pundit crowd has kind of discounted or completely forgot about it possibly being that simple again in 2024 with Harris

 

you’re not sad about it. you’re one of those people

 

And?

 

And....you lied? You said it's a sad unfortunate truth but now you're saying you're not sad about it with a meme? Stop lying about your views?

 

personally, i didn't have to read that article about adult illiteracy in America. it's very apparent in online political spaces

 

That's.....a sarcastic meme lol. As in I'm giving you fake credit for thinking you're smarter than you really are because as we all know the Almighty rat can't come off their high horse lol.

It is a sad unfortunate truth. It's sad that this is the reality we live in. It's sad that in this day and age no politician will mark every check that you believe in and if someone says they meet some of their list while being opposed to other things you have people like you who who deem that as some sort of affront to you.

Damn y'all missing out on some good pop culture. Breaking Bad and Slipknot, I feel bad for y'all lol.

 

You are confusing yourself bud. You're changing the subject. You didn't say you were sad that people like me think like I do. You said it was a sad and unfortunate truth that most people prioritize domestic issues. You are one of those people. So why do you think its sad and unfortunate that people think like you?

 

The dems want to keep the genocide going more than they want our votes.

 

again, adult illiteracy

 

I wouldn’t sell yourself short, several regular posters in this thread beclown themselves on a hourly basis
