I am flabbergasted you think that a petty assault charge for pickpocketing is even in the same building as pre meditated murder with a lethal weapon.

The us is bad sure, but not the only nation with a similar system (I know here someone will take a swing at a pickpocketer) and yet the murder rate is not higher then average in the world.

Yes, of course, capitulation always works…

Yeah, there is a convicted felon and an illegal immigrant right there.

Looks like it. So cherry picking from both ends on this one.

Yeah that seems to check out, the whole study seems to have been an exercise of trying to prove their believed concept instead of testing it.

the Arab spring also springs to mind.

3.5% of the people work all the time if you cherry pick your data.

Also to note, that potential violence is still violence. “peaceful” protests with over 3.5% of the total people generally do as well on the implied potential violence. Movements that will never go hot have no power.

YSK, This is blatant propaganda

Ah, Yeah that checks out. I never posted on reddit but the api thing made me make this account.

What is a rif?

There are way too many of these US dots outside of the US for my liking.

You need more then two parties for that to work. What happens if you get more spoiled ballots then anything else? Maybe no president for 4 years?

And insulting. It cheapens the whole vote and overall process. I think its terrible the US is still under a two party system but 60% plus is a great turnout for an election when you don’t even give voters choices other then between the ruleing party or a fascist.

2020 was the highest in history of us elections with 65.8% of eligible voters turning in a ballot, 2024 (so far as counted) is 63.7% of eligible voters turning in a ballot. The delta between the second highest (2024) and the highest (2020) is only 2,624,285 votes, and this number will shrink if anything once the official count is in.

You seem to think an over 60% turn out is bad, when it is very high for non mandatory voting. Look at 1988 with a 52.8% turn out and even then no one pulled this weak line of crap out in defense of Dukakis.

What, and please tell us the point that is being made?

Is it that the election was not valid? Is it that the Democrats are somehow not the loser? Is it that the majority of Americans showed up to vote?

Its so far (the counting will not be in for a bit) the second highest voter turn out. No one “admitted” it was low, the numbers above show it was high (second to 2020). This whole endless blaming of “non-voters” is pathetic and the same line of reasoning devalues literally every other election then 2020 held in the USA.

Second highest voter turn out in US history.

Please Please Please stop this.

No, not without taking an optional class in high school
