Moderates who "voted for the economy" right now: 🤡

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 107 points 2 days ago

Also leftists who refused to vote at all because Harris didn't solve the Middle East conflicts from the Vice President's desk.

  • Party has a President who supports modern day Nazis commiting Genocide with weapons, including some the US Military refuses to use because of "excessive collateral damage"
  • Party put forward presidential candidate who openly thinks that support of those modern day Nazis is the right thing to do.
  • Whilst actively supporting Nazi-level Fascists in their commiting of a Genocide, Party deploys Propaganda strategy of claiming that the real Fascist is the opposing condidate.
  • Strategy only ever convinces the Party faithful, fails miserably and Party loses the election
  • SurprisedPikachu.PNG
  • Party faithful blame "lefties" for that massive fuckup.

Lessons Learned: Zero

There aren't as many leftists in America as there are liberals who voted in 2020 but not in 2024.

Wait until he hears about Mexico not being named America either!

"Mexico is in Central America, so it must belong to the USA!"

Besides the absurdity of this, who gets to decide the name of a geographical feature?

If this were to actually happen wouldn’t it mean literally nothing? Like maybe officially in the USA it would be referred to by its new name but why would other countries follow? And I get that that the USA does a lot in the Gulf, but from my [very basic] understanding most of it is international waters.

Could legislation be proposed to rename the Atlantic Ocean? And if so wouldn’t that just end up with the USA following strange semantics other countries don’t?

It mostly would.

Hungary renamed an iconic square in Budapest like 10 years ago. Most of the city still calls it Moscow Square.

Fine. I’m calling it Gulf of the Americas and reminding everyone that the Americas are the continents, not the country.
A visionary and inclusive move!

But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does. We should just leave it alone.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was inspired to circumvent the new ban on oil drilling Biden just enacted. "We're drilling in the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico."

Damn. Boomer politicians scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard now we're stealing from China's playbook? "It's not Cuba, it's American Taipei."

I wonder how long it will be before the white house issues a 9 dash line Trump has hastily marked up with a red permanent marker.

[-] Katrisia@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I hope he doesn't hear about the Gulf of California. He is not going to understand that the Californias were Mexican and, thus, the Gulf is still named after the fact. He's going to claim some wacky s*it like "the name indicates it belongs to one of our states", "Mexicans are trying to steal California's assets", or something like that.
