Don't forget the 10 prescription meds Biden negotiated MUCH lower prices for.

But hey, "Biden didn't do anything"

This trickles out to content consumers as well though - some of my younger friends always do these replacements everywhere, and they're definitely not a content creator. Exposure to a speech pattern will inevitably influence your own.

Please note I'm not passing a value judgement like "kids these days", just pointing out that not everyone who does this is a content creator.

What's really funny about Trump winning Latino votes in Florida is that when surveyed, they went Trump for "the economy". So... my comment stands.

But yes as a Canadian, the results of the US election and the performance of the Democratic party are things I'll personally need to "look in the mirror" about.

Alternatively, I can appreciate how dumb American voters are, as 70 million of them vote to actively make their lives much worse. <3

The "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy" wasn't a jab at the Sinclair Media Group's "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy" campaign some years ago? Which was definitely a media conspiracy to push a narrative.

If that wasn't a reference and just accidentally the exact phrase, oops. If it was, then the implication that the democratic party's media machine was manipulating consistent messaging was pretty clear.

Berkshire Hathaway had built up $300B in cash reserves - maybe Warren decided it was time to buy?

When multiple people quote somebody's statement, having each quote say the same thing isn't a conspiracy...

Eh... I'm sure that's the case for some people, but a lot of left and right wing people seem to think democracy=my ideas winning. Those people seem to think Trump winning is not reflective of the (very shitty) will of the people.

Yeah uh, I really really hate to say it, but... democracy worked this time. The voice of the people is "Trump please". Democracy just means you get what most people want, not what the best option is.

But that's also not Arnold - he's publicly said that he arrived with like $20 in his pocket but he is not a self made man, he's a community made man. He's not a "bootstrap" believer, he's very vocally against that mentality too.

He's true old school Republican, where they have some misguided beliefs about national debt but aren't absolute loons.

E: quick Google gives this https://youtu.be/DOldEbWxgdQ?si=uJ8_CsHzoUBHTbH4

Theres better vids of it, but still - Arnold has been pretty consistently a level headed guy politically, even if he's not right all the time.

Approval voting is also good. Really any of the alternatives create more representative outcomes.
