OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[JokerEel]

Barrack in 2012 only got 21% of the votes with 58.9% non voters..

Even worse 1996

Summary: Clinton: 17.6%, Dole: 14.5%, Non-voters: ~64.3%.

 

[the phantom menace]

53.5% of the US population did not vote at all.

In 2020 Biden got 24.5% of the vote also a minority.............

No argument there. That was kind of my point - it's a small percentage electing a role that has a disproportionate influence on the world.

And Biden didn't try to do "deals" with countries at war to further inflame the situations, while claiming that he could achieve peace on his first day.

Trump is a true f**kstick.

The guy was the walking dead, he hardly made an impact on the world stage. Unlike duplicitous warmonger (while claiming to be a peace deal maker) Trump.

Meanwhile Elon Musk's latest f**kup looked quite spectacular... hopefully no-one was hurt.

‘A major anomaly’: SpaceX rocket explodes on platform in Texas

It was the fourth consecutive failure of a Starship rocket, which is designed to realise founder Elon Musk’s dream of humanity colonising Mars.

You do know that Elon doesn't build the rockets himself yeah? There a hundreds/thousands of people that put a lot of time and effort into doing this.

Elons a f**kwit but there are people that do good work at the companies he runs...

Obviously not that good... they're running at zero from four.

This is good news, more undesirables out of the CFMEU, giving them a better chance of continuing the cleanup without disruptions.

CFMEU purge looms after former bosses’ court defeat

The construction union’s administrator is preparing to remove officials accused of violence, underworld links or maintaining secret ties to ousted CFMEU bosses.

In countries without compulsory voting and with low voter turn out, yes.

No, not trying to attribute any allegiance to lazy f**kers who don't turn out to vote, other than ignorance and stupidity.

My point was more in marvel that the choice of a minority of people in one country can have such a wrecking ball effect on world affairs, including peace and safety.

We are on the brink of ww3.

Well it's good to know that bombing a hospital is a war crime.

 

[JokerEel]

Good to see people point scoring thanks to people dying..
