Welp thats 1.1k down the drain for nothing
She knows she tried. She can live with her conscience. There are people who are going to end up troubled by theirs.
Gotta spend that co2 on something.
And unfortunately for nothing....
Looks like I'm going to be buying a one way ticket to Berlin soon. These numbers are horrifying. I'm not surprised. Rural America has a massive education problem. I've gotten shit for it before, but I'll say it again. Polls don't pick up on the silent taboo fears of rural Americans. Poor education breeds ignorance, ignorance fear, and fear allows for manipulation. It's a ton of sexism and racism.
Better be real soon. You'll need a Visa to travel to the EU starting in 2025 - just passport won't work anymore. EU was preparing for this scenario for years, expecting a huge wave of American immigration after a Trump win.
As someone who grew up in arguably the darkest blue area in the entire country, and spent the past 2 years living in some of the darkest red rural in the country, I can honestly say, it was more of a culture shock than traveling to undeveloped and third world countries. I felt so out of place, and my opinions were so out of step, I basically was forced to keep to myself except for the one professor I was able to befriend who was a centrist but very reasonable. Its not a stretch to say we're living in two different realities.
There's a term for people pretending they're not racist in polls, but then being racist in the actual election. I forget the name. It's [black candidate who lost election] effect, but searching for it isn't getting me it.
I don't know if that's what happened this election or not, or if it was even real then, but it certainly could be. Racism/sexism certainly didn't help Harris.
Honestly, that would be really nice, We also have a growing Problem with our far-rights and could really use some more open-minded People over here, but I can also totally understand when people don't want to come here anymore because of that .__. The AFD, their Nazi fellowship and the constant corruption from the established Parties is ruining my beloved democratic Germany. 💔
yeah sure, everybody come to Berlin, there's enough infrastructure for futher 4 million people. and then tell us about about cultural genocide in a tourist coulisse that expats find authenticity in that while i can't form an authentic memory anymore of it to be a city by its people. unfortunately all the well-educated older germans that thived in the last century are gone now, so you can't test your theory about education.
This is the sort of thing that the Medal of Freedom should be given out for.
Yeah. Modern air travel is fucking awful.
bs, she caused massive CO2 emissions while hallucinating that one vote would change something. that's particularly absurd with the US voting system.
I hope she’s rich, because that would suck.
How the hell did she get a round-trip ticket from Germany to the United States for $1100? Did she have to ride in the luggage compartment?
Have you ever purchased a flight to/from Germany to/from US? It's not that expensive, especially in the off season
It's pretty inexpensive this time of year because Germany is cold as balls. My mom and I took a 9 day trip there in the winter a few years back for 2k each, including hotels.
Bold move Cotton, let's see how that plays out.
I can barely get my wife to go across the street to vote.
Like one vote ever mattered. /s
I hope the airline bumps her up to business or first class on the way back
