It's a type of racism that's only possible in dense mixed use urban areas.

Good reminder that the economy is mostly vibes. Even so reality will catch up eventually.

If Biden had implemented the exact same policies the US would be in a deep depression right now and face hyper inflation. The only reason things are holding somewhat steady is that investors and business owners have a religious belief that Trump must be good for the economy.

One nice thing about living in Austria is that our current government is way way less hitlerite than than the general population. What's less nice is that the general population is extremely hitlerite.

This was the first railway workers strike in probably decades and it lasted for only 1 or 2 days (I don't remember exactly). But the cherry on top is that other train operators are in fact allowed to use the infrastructure. It's just that they're not competitive on most lines.

He's not particularly unpopular. though. His net approval rating is -5% to -10% depending on the poll. I seriously doubt that Harris would be more popular right now. The difference then being that his base are true believers. Having 30% of the population follow your lead no matter what is valuable.

What's cool is that these numbers will remain unchanged no matter how bad things get. One in three Americans will support him no matter what.

I'd put that up to age being a major issue leading up to the election and Bernie being older than Biden so he got cuaght in the blast. He's also been supportive of Biden for way longer than he should have been.

Stand Juli liegt die durchschnittliche Inflationsrate in Ö zwischen 2,5 und 3,5%. Es könnten genau so gut 0 sein und die Chancen der FPÖ wären unverändert. Die Österreicher lechzen nunmal nach einem starken Mann und Massenabschiebungen und "billigem" Gas aus Russland.

I don't think it has much to do with his platform apart from it being different from the status quo. He's insanely charismatic and comes across as genuine in a way almost no other politician manages to.

If you have the entire Democratic party apparatus at your back you should easily be able to saturate the media landscape.

It absolutely is their fault. If you have an explosive story and it's not getting coverage they failed in their mission.

Yes and Dems stopped talking about it two weeks later.

Okay so one Senator actually did something, one was attacked and a state rep got assassinated. Two of these people were victims, one murdered and Dems at large fail to cook up a media storm. Yeah there's a couple here and there who try to do something but at its' core the party is useless.

The Biden admin drew two dozen red lines for Israel, each soon to be crossed with no real consequences to follow. There's no indication that a Harris admin would have broken with Israel over this.
Trappings (@trappings.bsky.social) reply parent
Dems largely support this shit. If Harris was in power right now Israel would have behaved exactly the same with zero consequence. The only difference is that the US would have given the bunker busters and bombers to Israel instead.
Trappings (@trappings.bsky.social) reply parent
This is true. The US has never been at war since 1945. Of course there were several special military operations in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Lebanon, Grenada, Libya, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Syria, etc. Fun fact: the last president to start a war was FDR.
