- Are you sure about those US Dems?palimpsest
- Guess many Dems are Center Left yeahgrafician
- 3.7/10 doesn't seem center enough to me. We're talking global here.palimpsest
- I'll take anything between 4-6. But that's just me.,palimpsest
- So GOP at center 3 to far right doesn't scare you LOLgrafician
- No, it doesn't scare me. GOP seems further right than Dems seem left to me. So Dems at 6 & Reps at 8 fits my worldview.palimpsest
- Like I said, it's the Dems at 3.7 that bother me.palimpsest
- not that we're not globally decending in to fascism but, chs had the tories at 7.8 before the last general election and i can't possibly think other thankingsteven
- preventing their head on the block what sunak did to reduce that below the scare of comparison to the (in power) GOP or how a similar shift wouldn't be observedkingsteven
- in the GOP post trump (still 8.2 in 2019). either way we're fucked and this graphic a bit close for comfort for folks in the UK re-evaluating centerist Labourkingsteven
- (who were 2.1 in 2019 post Corbyn?) but the relevance of an infographic of an update to one field in a survey last published in full in 2019?kingsteven
- conclusion: 101% pissy graphic but probably worse in reality, sidenotes need a breathalyzerkingsteven

The US just destroyed the tech industry in China...
"American workers hold key positions throughout China’s domestic chip industry, helping manufacturers develop new chips to catch up with foreign rivals. Now, those workers are in limbo under new U.S. export control rules that prohibit U.S. citizens from supporting China’s advanced chip development."

People are tweeting these alleged quotes about how “this election we are voting on whether we ever get to vote again”
Can someone explain this? Because it feels inaccurate and fearmongery. I only see lefties posting this but also I’m aware I live in a very thick bubble. I’m also aware that both right and left like to kick up fake bullshit like “they’re coming for your guns.”
Where is this “we’re voting on our right to vote” coming from? It seems ridiculous and over the top, but maybe I missed a proposed bill or something
- Because the nation is polarized, Trump successfully stacked the courts, there's ample evidence of election tampering..garbage
- ..and the new right game play is "If I lose, I'm going to scream that it was stolen".garbage
- And to be clear, I mean things like Trump calling and asking for a specific amount of votes. Both sides suck, but both sides are not the same.garbage
- I didn’t mean to imply that both sides are the samenb
- So you’re saying that people genuinely believe that if Trump wins, he will end voting in America?nb
- Yes, the US will turn into Turkey or Brasil under authoritarian regime - not full Chyna, but not a democracy anymore eithergrafician
- That is very dangerous for all democracies worldwide if that happened. Even GOP winning midterms will probably end support for Ukraine and maybe even Taiwangrafician
- The GOP is not anymore a more resonable Republican party under Bush or something, it's full of crazy dangerous people that can do a lot of harm to the worldgrafician
- Radical left poses the same dangers btw, their "agree with us, or else you're cancelled" has no place in a modern civilized societygrafician
- ...which the US is not, ofc (:grafician
- Listen to the child from Eastern Europe. He knowsmonospaced
- Ya ignoring graf.nb
- You’d have to be a moron or delusional to not be afraid of Trump in power again. But, Dems argument “vote for us or democracy is over” is not good (or true.)nb
- Trump isn’t on the ballot this month. So it’s even a weirder threat from dems.nb
- You two live in the same bubble down there, does it stink yet?
If trump is voted again in power no American can have the high ground EVER :)grafician - What does high ground have to do with anything. Focus mannb
- You guys down there pride yourselves with being the land of the free, all that free speech etc. until you won't anymore, so YOU need to focusgrafician
- Trump getting back in will be a laugh. Shit comedians will have more content Don Jr can fully get back on the gear.PhanLo
- Anyway, I'm out, discussing politics with Americans is always a waste of time...grafician
- I for once agree with graf. Are people forgetting J6, or how SCOTUS just blocked a subpoena for Trump last week?garbage
- Or how a wingnut broke into Pelosi's house to murder her with a hammer? The new GOP knows that they have a wingnut army.garbage
- And the overturn of Roe v Wade sets a precedent for "state's rights". If the GOP wins the House, Senate and presidency, we are going back to the 60s.garbage
- The 1860sPhanLo
- garbage, I agree! But what does that have to do with this election being about the right to ever vote again. They are exaggeratingnb
- J6 is the most fucked up thing I’ve seen on tv ever... trump is a mad man, his followers are fools and dangerous. But trump isnt on the ballotnb
- Pretty much desperate fear mongering from that senile scrotum in charge. Their whole Jan 6, subpoenas, missing documents etc, is just part of political warfare.Khurram
- And we’re not voting on the right to vote or anything like that. So my question is HOW are dems/left drawing a line from midterms to END OF DEMOCRACY, PANIC!nb
- Yeah, it would be great to see Trump back in charge. He's the President these cunts deserve. I would laugh at them if this happened to them again :D :D :DKhurram
- Trump IS on the ballot because if GOP takes over the House and the Senate then they will drop the investigation into Trump. Trump is playing a stalling game.ShenanigansTV
- This is why democracy is on the ballot. Trump put over a 1000 judges into positions because they control the legal system.ShenanigansTV
- It’s about losing the majority positions in power and the drastic shift in the judiciary branch to the far right, and their evil agendas. Just a hunch.monospaced
- Ok, so based on what you’re saying, “democracy” is not on the ballot. Neither is trump. It’s an exaggeration. Got it.nb
- metaphorically at best. But I have the same reaction to this as when Republicans said “Obama is comin for your guns!” When there was no indication he was.nb
- As a leftist gun owner, none of that rhetoric felt real. Watching constant stochastic terrorism from the GOP leadership..garbage
- ..and actual terrorism coming from their base. That feels a little more real than "OBAMA GONNA GIT UR GUNS".garbage
