Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yeah, I've seen people try to say this was because the US is just to racist and misogynist to elect a black woman... and maybe we are, but I don't think we got the chance to actually learn that. If there was a campaign, most people never saw it. I'm a dirty pathetic politics watcher, and all I saw was "We're not gonna do anything different from what we're already doing" A lot of people I talked to in real life weren't aware this was an election year, and they definitely weren't aware Biden wasn't running again.

to qualify that, I don't live in a swing state, so it's not like either side is jumping to spend time and money here... but still

You'd think people at least would know the presidential years (since they start a century and/or have a February 29)

Weird cause I got spammed and called and people knocking on my door like crazy and I’m in a safe blue state.

Seems like they just squandered their resources
