@CrowyTech feels like we've spent years and still nobody in parliament understands tech or even why they *should* understand it.

@CrowyTech yep. Not sure about the Greens, too - they're pushing for Customs Union and opposing divide and rule at least. But not much voice in parliament.
@CrowyTech my MP is LD so she'll probably say "yes, I agree they should, aren't they awful" and that'll be it. But I might give it a go.
@Dagwood222 @Fredthefishlord I mean it's stupid that it was even close, but Dubya's brother stole the election for him. Pretty much accepted fact now that if the recounts had actually been allowed then Gore would have won. US elections are awful. https://youtu.be/jucDFrO89Ko
@FilthyHookerSpit @Freshparsnip the thing I find weird is that not a single county flipped red to blue, but 88 flipped blue to red. Just demographic changes would usually mean one almost-blue changes hands. All one way hasn't happened since Hoover, so you'd think, from that, that Trump had a MASSIVE margin.
@Maiq @silence7 I still don't get it. You'd think that even a Russian asset, as a malignant narcissistic demagogue, on becoming president of the largest economy in the world with the most powerful army, would just go 'actually f*** you, I'm a bigger deal than you now, and your army and economy have both been ripped to shreds since I last got booted out anyway.' Like, why's he reducing the power/influence of the US and therefore his *own* power?!
@TwinTitans @MicroWave I mean I get your point. But how long do you expect a car to last in the US? We have one car and it's a 2012 reg that we bought secondhand in 2018...
@OutlierBlue @Chainweasel the rich have forgotten they should vote for social safety nets because otherwise the poor have nothing to lose.
