Yeah, yeah you are.

Like I said if he is a genius by intellectual standards he's not using it to the benefit of anyone but himself And thanks for the read lol

Oh yeah obviously.

I mean unless he's falsifying his own IQ scores he is "technically" a genius - but being intelligent doesn't necessarily mean you're a good person.

Or that you're "right".

You're right, I was playing devil's advocate to highlight that Elon is actually very detrimental to this country. Many people don't take him seriously.

No it won't magically fix everything but at least the voters would have no one to blame but themselves for who they elect to office.

You're assuming that the entire 1% were swing voters. So no. It's not a huge margin.

Ok average nearly half the country votes, every year. Yeah - that number should be way up - but 75% of those votes wouldn't matter. That's the point/problem.

Adding in an edit: downvote it all you want, you know it's true. Hell, in his last election he DID lose the popular vote. Some democracy. More voters, actual people who took the time and effort to go and actually vote, wanted a different president, and got shown their votes don't matter unless they live in a swing state.

Anyways, this is not why Harris lost. It was a landslide and Trump won the popular vote by a huge margin. Americans don't vote in large numbers on foreign policy - not unless Americans are getting killed. Kamala lost because she kept telling struggling families that the economy is great has a vagina.

Fixed that for you.

Also she didn't lose the pop vote by a huge margin. 3 million people is literally 1 percent of the population.

If this were a democracy and pop vote mattered, there are probably 10x that number of people who would have actually voted. Then I'd guess she would have won. Look at (greater area) Chicago. 9.5m people. 12 million people total in IL. how many Illinoisans didn't vote because why does it matter? About 2 million probably.

Disclaimer: That last paragraph was obviously arbitrary.

"Which is exactly what I have written edited my original statement to." Fixed that for you.

Elon's far from mindless. He's just a self-serving prick who would burn a country down to increase his stan- oh wait.

Yeah. Fuck.

He's potentially the most dangerous person at that table. He doesn't want power in the limelight - though he uses the limelight when he needs to, yes - he wants power behind the scenes. And he's very good at getting what he wants. That much should be unambiguously clear.

And if gaining that power means helping a fascist fucking prick fuck gain dictatorial powers, well I don't think he'd think twice.

You really didn't have to throw in the "seem to be intelligent" part but that very conscientious of you.

I'll go ahead and fix it for you though and be the asshole.

In case you're wondering why you're getting down voted, it's because you didn't even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.

I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.

You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.

I get what you're saying and I'm not saying you're wrong.

I did however giggle at your "illusion of democracy".

I would normally agree. Four years ago I would have laughed if someone had said it.

Now, I just don't know. So much has happened that I thought for sure couldn't possibly happen. Not much would surprise anymore.

Self awareness is doubt. If you're doubting you haven't stopped improving. You're doing well, based on what you've said - keep it up :)

True for most sadly. But not for all.

I'm happy to be proven wrong. It means I learned something that day. And I love learning new things.

He doesn't want a dictatorship to save himself. He wants a dictatorship because he wants to be the fuckin dictator.

Only good news about this is thanks to Daddy Doge being head of the government Doge means I'll be rich in '27 when Doge (the currency) hits $2.

Can't beat em join em

Right slavery is pretty much ≥ genocide

Maybe he just meant all the good qualities of Hitler. Like the ones he used to get away with his evil fucking mass murder for so long.
