    ruZZia, China, Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the most important Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off, are the reasons he won. Let’s quit pretending, that without all of the dirty money and influence from foreign countries, this idiot would have won.

      Except that even with these things in place, they could have won, except that 15m voters chose to stay home. Guess which bloc?

        Not that it makes things better but that number is going to be bunches less than 15 million when everything is said and done. Trump is sitting about a 1 million down from his 2020 vote total and Harris is obviously like 11 million down from Biden’s 2020 total but California alone still has almost 7 million votes left to count last I looked and there’s still quite a few votes left to count across the rest of the states.

      Why did everyone suddenly start misspelling Russia?

          So they think this will avoid bots astroturfing? I’m pretty sure they could update their filters in seconds to account for that, if so.

        They tag some of their military assets with ‘Z’ for battlefield identification

          Because the Russians liked the movie world war z or what? Also I’m still confused why people on Lemmy would adopt that spelling regardless

            Z was being used in ruZZia as a symbol to show support for the invasion. IIRC Z was used by a certain command in that area on tanks and trucks.

            People started spelling “Russia” as “ruZZia” to relate it to the Nazi SS and using Z to do so to show distane for the war. I write it with lower case r out of disrespect 🤷

              Thank you for being the first to actually explain this!

            They needed a symbol to spray paint on their tanks to easily differentiate them. Z is simple and it’s not a a Cyrillic letter.

      I think you’re wrong here, as least on the money side of things. Harris out-fundraised Trump 3 to 1, taking in almost a billion dollars this cycle. Democrats didn’t lose because of dirty money — they had more than enough of their own to compete.

        You could be right, but we’ll never know what the actual turn out would have been without interference.

        In my opinion, it’s game over for justice and the environment
