I just read this on wikipedia:
"In a record-low voter turnout, Meloni's party became the largest in Parliament with 26% of the vote, making her likely to become Prime Minister of Italy."
I mean, I guess it makes it better to know that a minority in Italy helped this party get into power.

Oh god, they're suing to FORCE him to buy the platform? Can't they just sue for damages

I disagree: it´s like a soap opera, a telenovela with real people. You see them all your life, and you relate to one of a few of them, and you finally finish liking them. and I´m afraid that it´s not going to happen.
Right now I´m on team princess Ana.
you're right. It's like keeping up with the Kardashians, but with inbreeding, pedophilia, blood diamonds and a whole lot more dysfunctional.
I'm team Meghan. I know nothing about her, but everyone hates her so I'm sure that's good.

For catholics The Pope is Christ on Earth isnt he?
I’d say The Pope is far more popular if we are using such a word with people than the Queen is/was aren’t there a billion catholic’s globally ? And they all look to him as their leader?
This is like some bizarre Eurovision / top of the charts competition for you
Rest assured, the queen of Canada's funeral topped the charts! Woo. Congrats. World record.

They count the people who are in a café and it’s on tv, the people who are watching the news and they connect with the live feed and of course they use the Gaga Superbowl trick to add several dozens of millions. Real interest in this may be 200 million.
and it means we all love modern day monarchs

63% of the worlds population watched today’s ceremony.
Not bad for someone so divisive in popularity.
If that’s true it’s because it was the only damn thing on TV

And seriously, I would defend any of them if they were in that situation... It's just insane how she's been treated. No wonder why she wanted to get out as quickly as she could.+1
I know very little about this family, but seeing headlines about people being pissed because Megan and Harry held hands (just as an example) makes my head spin. How dare she?

Its absurd how imbecile such Muslim "teachers" are... Although we have seen absurdities from Christian ones, but never to such extremes.
Not that it should be a competition, but it would take me 30 seconds to find Christian beliefs that are equally or more extreme than this example.

It's like the gays that support Vox here in Spain because they think their leader is hot. Wtf.
Not justifying supporting an ultra conservative because they're hot, but at least that's SOMETHING.
What can you possibly see in Trump as a gay? Besides his obvious agenda, I mean...

Fucking ridiculous that our president has to issue an executive order to make sure women don't die due to complications during their pregnancy. We're more backwards than Saudi Arabia:
QuoteSaudi Arabia has some of the most permissive abortion laws in the Middle East and North Africa region, according to the US-based Centre for Reproductive Studies. Abortion is legal in cases of risk to a woman's life, fetal impairment, or to protect her physical and mental health.

For the record, I wasn't saying this is a non-issue. My point is that right-wing media outlets, such as the Daily Mail, use these types of stories to support their anti-trans viewpoints.
That language of the entire article is clearly biased and intended to make readers feel like the entire trans movement is wrong. Example:
Quote‘It is hoped this will force a re-think by the NHS about this kind of barbaric surgery on patients who are told by medics it will help them.'
It's not intended to spark a healthy debate on a very complex topic.

308 mass shootings in 6 months.... I wonder how many minor shootings had occurred?
There were 19,384 gun-related homicides (and 24,292 gun-related suicides) in 2020 so A LOT.

When it was Hilary vs. Trump, and prior to Trump’s win, first of, no one knew that trump would have shoved all these Supreme Court. We had 2 god awful options, the war monger vs the unknown wild card. Some went with the unknown, the DNC didn’t offer a good option then.
so yeah and if she didn’t get any love and people bashed her is because she had it coming.
No it’s because we complain that she doesn’t use the right pronouns

More Americans voted for Hillary than any other losing presidential candidate in US history. (see here).
By adopting their narrative you're just falling in their trap. That's what I'm saying.
Blaming the "WOKES", blaming Bernie, etc., it all comes from them, from the work they are doing (and by them, I mean Republicans, Chinese, Russian, Fox news, etc.) to stir shit and divide Democrats.I agree with you that Democrats have a lot of work to do and are making really bad choices (Chosing an old uncharismatic man as candidate being a perfect example of bad choice), but I think the main problems have nothing to do with people not voting for Hillary, because they did. Democrats have a big problem at conveying their message. That's where they should start to work.
Exactly! This "let's blame ourselves the democrats" narrative needs to stop. Voter turnout has been at an all time high.
It's not our collective fault that the entire U.S. system was designed to make sure slave-owning states with low "white" voting populations don't lose power.
If there are specific swing states / districts where we have lost seats in congress because Democrats decided not to vote because the candidate wasn't "woke" enough, then let's talk about that (we won't because it's not a thing).

There is absolutely a level of despondency and frustration with the entire progressive movement here in the U.S. And I'm included in that group who is utterly disgusted with liberals, democrats, and progressives in every way.
When did the party of the working class become the party of corporate America? When did the party of unions become the party of social media? When did the party of local government begin to advocate for the defunding of law enforcement? They have done EVERYTHING wrong on nearly every level since Obama left office. He was brilliant at straddling the line with urban and suburban voters while STILL being able to speak to the plights of the working class in rural America. All of that is gone now and they don't have a single leader they'll elevate if they don't use the correct pronouns or stand behind the newest hashtag on Twitter. It's completely mind boggling how they think they can win a majority at anything when they don't SPEAK to the majority as a whole. NYC, LA, Seattle and Chicago ain't gonna win you the majorities in elections and the fact that they can't see that is beyond the pale.
I had the privilege of hosting Gretchen Whitmer (the governor of Michigan) at one of the businesses I do consulting with and she was a complete delight. An old school Democrat who can speak the language of those here in the Midwest. Someone who isn't a geriatric and would PROBABLY have been picked as VP if woke politics didn't interfere to give us Kamala and would've been far more effective since she actually, ya know, had to work to win elections.
Democrats had a reality check in 2016 and they didn't listen. They won with Biden in 2020 because he wasn't Trump. Now they're in dire straights for a multitude of reasons and I don't see course correction from them until they're obliterated in the midterms this year. By that time, it might be too late.....
I’m sorry but this is your response to a decision made by a highly conservative / biased Supreme Court 1) with a clear agenda, 2) that does not represent the majority of Americans, and 3) that was put there by Republicans?
yes. Got it. The problem with Democrats is that we don’t Vote for people who use the correct pronoun, even though we won the popular vote in the millions in 2016
it has nothing to do with gerrymandering or the ridiculously antiquated “2 senators per state even if it’s just a handful of racists and cows” system.

This country continues its free fall and faster and faster. how can we accept that women cannot do what they want with their bodies in a supposedly democratic country in 2022???Next, same sex marriage? After that, contraception? and the most infuriating thing is that all this happens and everyone seems to not give a fuck!
Already in the works. Just a matter of time.

This happened on Friday and I can’t get it out of my mind. Hundreds of migrants from Sudan, fleeing from war and violence, tried to jump the fence between Morocco and the Spanish city of Melilla (an enclave in Morocco coast belonging to Spain for 500 years). There was such avalanche that more than 30 died asfíxiated.
I have no words. The brutality of Moroccan police during the situation, the complicity of Spanish authorities not condemning the tragedy, the absolute hypocrisy of all of us greeting white refugees and blocking black refugees…
Amen

Definitely.
Douchey tech bros have them in Seattle.
They're overpriced, overhyped and I don't think they're elegant at all. They look like a really basic car with a very plastic interior, BUT they have a big screen with "cool" apps and it can (sort of) drive itself.

It's very quickly become incredibly uncool to own a Tesla.
