Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Then stop fucking supporting them goddamn it! Add Bezos and The Waltons to the list while you’re at it.

But what about all muh fOlLoWeRszz?!

The AI bots don't love you.

Uh, that's not what they said!

I was surprised to see Zuckerberg with higher unfavorable and lower favorable ratings. Musk is in my opinion clearly the most evil and hateful figure at the moment. But then when they break out the statistics by party, it makes sense and seems obvious.

Everyone on both sides politically dislikes Zuck, because Facebook is a hellhole. But Musk has the GOP. Averaged out, Musk gets a boost, benefitting from the politicization.

It seems like this is putting data behind the motive for Zuck more publicly supporting right wing efforts.

I'm still waiting to view them in that MMA ring. Whatever happened to that?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I think muskrat chickened out. Zuck actually does sports and stuff in his spare time, where as elon does ketamine. Most pictures of Zuck you can see the goggle tan from wherever he's been skiing/boarding. He's moderately athletic. Elon would get absolutely demolished.

One of the few things I actually believe musk was not lying when he said he was joking about it from the begining with no serious intents. IE his line saying "I have a move called the walrus where I just lie on top of my opponent and don't do anything". To me more or less backs the statement that he was just goofing around.

Very much unlike his Nazi rhetoric. Where every action he makes and everything he says seems to tell me he's politically aligned with the worse of white supremacists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah but first he claimed he would win if he trains and there is a reason for weight classes and shit. Just how he claims he was once the best quake player, one of the best diablo and pathfinder players. He tells the pettyest of all lies that i find it yard to imagine he himself knows what's true anymore.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

As much as I enjoy the narrative of the Nazi fuckhead backing out of a fight he tried to pick, it does also sound plausible that the media blew a dumb joke way out of proportion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah but Elon doesn’t have any more pain receptors. He can just go until he bleeds out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

hes on ketamine, doubt he would feel pain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Fine with me. Bleed him out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Zuckerberg trained in BJJ, so he knows how to fight and is physically fit, plus hes an android. MUSK is bloated from all that alcohol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I would fucking love to see Zuckerberg punch Elon in the mouth oh my God.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Only if they somehow kill eachother simultaneously.

[–] masterofn001 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would love both of them to find their way as passengers of a botched starship launch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

There’s a reason why they won’t get on one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I would sign up to Facebook to watch it, even.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Only 11% responding with very favorable for Husk is encouraging, as is more than 3x as many people responding with very unfavorable (36%).

Zuck getting 2% very favorable: lmao.
