You can't combat automation, that's dumb. You need to educate the working class so they can operate, mantain and factory the machines that replaced them but that also gives them, well, education and insight. Nobody wants an educated voting force, what's the matter with you?
>just train people to oil the algorithms lol
The problem with the 21st century is that automation no longer creates more jobs than it replaces. A tractor allowed us to make do with fewer farmers, but required a whole industrial base for tractors. By comparison, a Management Information System program can replace thousands of white collar jobs in the US with a single Pajeet writing code in India.

'Combat' isn't the word I should have used, I meant to imply that we need to prepare the economy and the workforce for it. I'll also include AI in that since it's just automating white-collar jobs, and I agree.
 
Any democrats here who can provide an explanation other than fraud for this? I haven't heard anything from the democrat polititubers yet on it

Oh, just 200% turnout in some wards. Definitely not sketchy lol

I was just thinking Trump needs to amass tens of thousands of lawyers and just start throwing darts in these states because the fix is being done by actual retards. If the one thing that comes out of this is the death of "there is no such thing as voter fraud" as a narrative then this mayhem will have been worth it.

Everyone talking about they "voted for kudos." But have you forgotten about the only candidate brave enough to tell it like it is and is a true man of the people?

People are talking about sending it to the house. Doesn't that ensure a Trump loss?
From my understanding, although I might be wrong, the House votes along state delegation lines. So California's entire delegation gets the same amount of votes as Wyoming. Naturally, this means the Republican House Minority would appoint Trump.
 
I heard trump got a lesser percentage of white votes this time.

Is that just because of higher youth turnout? That would explain it.
He actually did better with Young folk than expected. What fucked him is that the Boomers actually turned out less for him this time. Coronavirus scare convinced a lot of them it was in their best interest to get Biden elected.

You can also make an argument Trump's neglect of the White working class Rust belt is what doomed him. If he had focused more on them, and less on the pointless minority votes he picked up, then he would be in a winning position right now.
 
Are they really behaving like a militia?
Lemme explain: Militia not in the sense of a bunch of guys in military surplus standing around OCing rifles but in the sense of organized group of people capable of inflicting violence.
The basic idea that they operate in effectively lawless spaces that are kept that way by sympathetic people in government (this very often includes members of nominally right-wing parties).
They organize in these spaces, earn and distribute money there. This money often comes from sources such as the government, foundations and unions and is paid under various guises.

And while they sometimes attack mainstream politicians for being insufficiently leftist, their main targets are people outside of "polite society" (e.g. non-mainstream right-wingers, libertarians, conspiracy theorists, members of certain opposition parties and yes, sometimes actual nazis too).
The attacks range from "cancel culture" e.g. anonymous denunciations as a fascist, to burning down cars, to attacking houses and targeting people all the way to straight up murder (which happens more often in places like Greece).

I think your idea just sucks and won't solve what you want it to.

No bully if this had been settled pages back but any update on the fuckery in AZ and NV? Apparently they were called far too early for Joe and might tilt back to Trump.
Arizona is probably Biden's, the AP/Fox/etc. Basically determined there wasn't enough uncounted votes left in the wild, from trump leaning areas to move it the ~3.4pts needed, AZ officials say an update (my guess "final" poll results) at 9pm EST.

Nevada is only 0.6pts and hasn't been called yet, and I'm not sure what votes are left in what areas exactly (besides Reno and Vegas) there's a chance this means the uncounted votes are too concentrated in blue metro areas to change it, but the margin is much easier to shift. NV officials are going to announce a final at 3pm EST tomorrow last I heard.

So tl;dr AZ probably called right, NV isn't called for good reason

Not to mention that as the skill ceiling raises for even getting those types of technical jobs (and believe me, it is raising) more and more people will become ineligible to work because their brain simply does not have the power to meet the job needs.

Take it from somebody who works in software: NO, NOT EVERYBODY CAN CODE. There is absolutely such thing as being educated beyond your ability to think.

What if their opponents also started calling themselves antifascist so the conflicts would look like infighting and average Joes would start thinking of antifa as bad news in general?

How would the media spin antifa versus antifa riots?🤔
