I don't know why but Sanders voters are like the ones I enjoy making fun of the most. Even the comments on that thread are talking about how stupid of an idea that is given how old he'll be. Won't stop him from asking for khantributions.

To be an effective politician, you need to have at least some capacity to bullshit effectively.

Bernie has never done any real work in his life, while being virtually unable to grift the majority of his retard kabuki theater "career".

Fucking call center poojeets have a better game than a South Park sounding kike who has a seizure every time he raises his voice.

You do understand that commies kind of forget that the Greeks said it’d be ideal if children were raised communally, but no parent would ever allow it nor should they. I think some Jews in a kibbutz tried it and most of the people raised like that hated it @Catch The Rainbow might know more.

Not gonna lie, former Trump supporter here. It's fucking hilarious watching him crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let him get his hands on the nuclear codes.

I’m more worried about Vance using the nuclear football like a kill streak in Halo.

Political poll news site 538 to close amid larger shuttering across ABC and Disney
Disney is reportedly cutting staff across ABC News Group and its entertainment network as media layoffs continue

The popular political poll news and analysis website, 538, is being shut down as part of a broader shuttering effort across ABC News and Disney Entertainment, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday night.

Disney is reportedly cutting 200 positions across ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks, including shutting down the data-driven 538.

The ABC news magazine shows 20/20 and Nightline are to be consolidated into one program, resulting in further job cuts, sources told the Journal. The closing of 538 means an additional 15 employees will be let go.

Other changes include all three hours of Good Morning America branded shows being combined into a single production team, and Disney Entertainment Networks unit, which hosts broadcast networks and cable channels such as Freeform and FX, will see staffing reductions in program scheduling and planning.

A source told the Journal that the layoffs represent just under 6% of the combined staff at ABC News and Disney Entertainment and will be announced to employees as early as Wednesday.

FiveThirtyEight, which is named after the number of electors in the US electoral college, has become a popular website for predictions, analysis and watching the polls in the months and days leading up to election night.

But the website’s workforce had been slowly dwindling for a couple of years. The 15 employees still with the outlet make up less than half of the team from 2023, when it had about 35 employees.

The decline began when 538’s founder, Nate Silver, left the company two years ago when his Disney contract expired.

In a post on X, Silver expressed his disappointment with the website closing down, writing: “My heart goes out to the people there. They were tremendously hard-working and produced a lot of extremely valuable data and insight for everyone who wants to understand politics better. They deserved much better.”

Maggie Koerth, a science journalist formerly with 538, expressed similar sentiments in a Bluesky post. “FiveThirtyEight was such a wonderful place to work, filled with some of the most supportive, creative, and thoughtful coworkers a person could ask for,” she wrote.

“Most of us were laid off in 2023, but the remaining staff deserved (and deserve) better,” she added.

The broader media landscape has been hit with mass layoffs seemingly nonstop for months. Last month, MSNBC announced a massive shakeup at the network that included letting go of Joy Reid and her production team, as well as no longer using the Spanish-language network Telemundo.

Memes aside, what happens if the democrat party dies? Do they just get replaced with republicans and things continue working as usual?

Trump literally threw his supporters to the wolves and empowered the progressive finance Jews to debank his supporters and for what to own Biden. Why is Trump's GOP even wasting time on this.

Because the Jews in fintech are progressive, Hasan will never be debanked it will be the loyal patriots who fought for Trump and tried to build the parallel institutions MAGA needs.

They are Jewish traitors who care more about their Jewish supremacist project in the middle east then America, they would never even think about trying to save you. You and me are nothing but goyim to these people. They weren't happy with the immense privilege given to Jews in America they needed to oppress Goyim even more directly in Israel and now they got punished for it

The people raised that way considered it a form of abuse and hated it. I wrote about it here

While many cultures around the world practice some form of communal child-rearing, the kibbutz is the only known society in history to attempt communal sleeping. Early kibbutzim gravitated toward that system for several reasons. Ideologically, kibbutz members wanted to break away from old Jewish-European traditions. They wanted to demolish the nuclear family structure in favour of the group. They wanted their children to grow up in a microcosm of the kibbutz system, to train for their future lives. Economically, raising children collectively made sense during the tough early days – food was rationed and members sometimes lived in small tents. There was also a feminist motive, as communal sleeping was supposed to free women to participate equally in community life.

As children, we spent most of our time in the children's house with our peers. We ate, played, studied and slept there. We would visit our parents every afternoon between 4pm and 8pm, then they would return us to the children's house to sleep. Our Jewish mothers never cooked us a meal, never washed our clothes or sang us a lullaby. The kibbutz system sought to limit private intimacies in case they diverted members' energy from the communal project.

But there was another side to my kibbutz childhood. The pressure to conform was relentless. Individuality and competition were looked down upon. Children who were unusual, eccentric or sought to distinguish themselves, were shunned. We were socialised to be strong and sunny, simple and similar. Emotional expression was demeaned as weak and self-involved. We learned to numb ourselves. I haven't cried since I was 10. I'd like to but I can't.

A friend of mine, I found out years later, used to wake up every night and sneak out the window to go to his parents' room. Every night he would knock on his parents' door and beg to be let in. Every night they would take him back to the children's house. After repeated episodes, the kibbutz's solution was to move his parents to a room further away.

Years later it also came out that a girl a few years ahead of me had been molested repeatedly by one of the members, the father of another girl. The community had no consciousness of evil back then, at least not internally. Evil was capitalism, the corrupt outside world, and the Jordanian soldiers across the border two miles to the east. No one envisioned a menace within. Trust was the system's currency. Kibbutz buildings had no locks on the doors. If anyone suspected something, they probably chose to look away. When a dream is prized, we often look away from any reality that threatens to undermine it.

There was no particular motivation for schooling because the kibbutz guaranteed each member a job, housing, food. In the early days, the kibbutz school system shunned tests and grades altogether. There was suspicion in the kibbutz about intellectuals, and about separating people by degrees of excellence. When I decided to quit high school, my parents hardly noticed.

The children raised under this system decided to abolish it and return to the old way of having families.
