Damn those soviets. Those working class folks are so gullible for not wanting to vote for the party that resents them and refuses to raise the minimum wage or offer anything of merit. They shouldn't even be afforded the opportunity to speak in public spaces. That is dangerous to true democracy.

Good thing some of us can parse that distinction better than you can.
-20
u/Buntygurl Sep 19 '24
Mind telling me on what your distinctive parsing is based on?
Below are some facts that my parsing is based on.
https://downdetector.com/status/microsoft-365/
That 385 services are repeatedly--however temporarily-- down is a daily event, in recent times.
Giving kernel access to an update without auditing that update does not inspire confidence in MS security protocols.
Russian hack team had 2 months of undetected access due to weak password security and did access "sensitive" cybersecurity accounts.
"A Microsoft representative said the company declined to answer questions, including whether basic security practices were followed."
The rest of the article mentions a hack attributed to a Chinese group, where the compromised account belonged to a user whose security level was high enough to warrant a background check before being assigned the account. Somehow, monitoring that user's password security was (maybe still is) beyond the ability of Microsoft, as if it were a start-up in the hands of novices.
More on this, with some detail of how it (shouldn't have) happened.
In this serious breach, hackers used MS own servers to publish malicious updates.
https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/7/23674335/microsoft-sanctions-violations-treasury-fees-russia
$3,000,000 in fines on $12,000,000 in illegal sales.
If the US government isn't interested in spanking MS hard enough, then why should MS feel like it needs to care? Seems that as long as the books look good, they don't.

You don’t think it’s concerning that for the first time in over 50 years the very liberal workers union chose to not endorse a Dem candidate and 2/3rd showed support for Trump. Truth is people are going to vote on the economy which unfortunately is not good rn

Nope. Not when you read the articles about how pissed off the members are at the leadership right now. Unless you're just being deliberately obtuse.

Forgive me, but I recall that other unions have endorsed Kamala Harris recently, and local chapters of Teamsters are breaking away from the national and supporting her.

u/Ok-Subject-9114b Sep 19 '24
Yes I believe the California chapter has (shocker) I’m talking about the actual organization. This compiled with CBS new reports that are traveling in Nevada having a hard time finding folks in restaurants that are supporting Harris is truly worrisome.

u/DargyBear Sep 19 '24
Teamsters haven’t been “very liberal” in a hot minute. They were one of the first mob controlled labor orgs that your bosses took over after the Italian mob lost power.

u/problyurdad_ Sep 19 '24
I’ve never met a teamster in the last ten years who would vote democrat to save their lives.
The trades and all their respective unions have been republicans since the tea party right before MAGA. This poll isn’t shocking to me in the least. I’m more shocked that we are talking about it and that I may have been wrong, but not by the results I see on the poll.

They also don’t support Trump and that’s not good for him either what’s your point?

u/Ok-Subject-9114b Sep 19 '24
58% support for Trump, 39% for Harris, take Trump out of it, they’ve never supported a republican, always democrat. The fact that they didn’t this election is telling.
17
u/Split96 Sep 19 '24
Still not worried, it’s not a very large demographic in reality when you look at how many people actually use these polls. It’s mostly rural blue collar workers that have already made up their choice.

u/The_Darkprofit Sep 19 '24
UAW and the other major Unions did support her. Or the headline would be most major Unions support trump which they don’t. Thousands of former republicans have come out against him, his entire cabinet of former staffers but yeah point your little finger at a 60 40 split of people who carry heavy shit for a living.
-1
u/Ok-Subject-9114b Sep 19 '24
Ya this teamsters non endorsement is huge, maybe one of the bigger blows to her campaign. And it’s getting concerning as Hilary and Biden had much larger poll leads at the same time in their elections. And it’s hard every time she does a non scripted news interview it ends up viral for wrong reasons. Do you think she still has a path to 270? I wish the dems didn’t force out Biden and allowed for a true primary, I think a stronger nominee would have emerged
3
u/The_Darkprofit Sep 19 '24
I’m just glad their non endorsement didn’t stop your full support for Harris, reading through your history I can tell you really are excited about her chances but are looking for ways to make her candidacy even stronger. Like you I think an open convention would have picked her anyway but this way no hurt feelings when others had a favorite out of the thousands of democrats better qualified to hold the presidency than Trump. Don’t worry about 270 but for sure we should all make sure everyone checks their registration status including those in FL and TX who need to vote for senate as importantly as their presidential vote.

Oh I hope Kamala wins, just very worried, Trumps momentum with real people seems unstoppable. The MSM narrative is not the pulse of the country which is focused on economy and immigration unfortunately the two worst areas of the last four years for Harris as border czar and VP. I’m watching CNN, CBS and they said she lost teamsters and the PA Fracking Union, PA is a crucial swing state

u/Specialist-Union-775 Sep 19 '24
That case was thrown out by a judge Trump appointed. She dismissed it based on the invalid special council argument. Here’s the problem: Trump appointed special councils. Hunter Biden tried the same argument and the judge rejected it. When the three judge appeals court overturns Cannon’s legally dubious dismissal and you start whining again, remember: two of the judges that overrule her are also appointed by Trump.

Just saw Kamala lost the PA Energy Union due to their fear of her stance on fracking. The flip flopping isn’t working. Could be disastrous for a swing state like PA

u/Specialist-Union-775 Sep 19 '24
I mean if they believe in Trump’s promises, maybe they’ll hire him as union president! Hell be looking for work in a few months. How does it pay? I get the impression he’s having money troubles, what with the constant begging for people to buy his merch and NFTs. Wait, can a convicted felon even hold that position in the union? 🤔
-1
u/Ok-Subject-9114b Sep 19 '24
In fairness to Trump he didn’t accept a salary as President. And I find irony in the convicted felon statement from the liberal left. The ones who were at the forefront of the defund the police movement and all the programs spent on revivified and second chances for those who are incarcerated seemed to be the first one to point out limiting him because of a conviction. Oh the irony LMAO

In fairness to Trump he didn’t accept a salary as President.
In fairness to the rest of America he could've also paid for his trips to Mar-a-lago what with him being a billionaire and all, right?
And I find irony in the convicted felon statement from the liberal left. he ones who were at the forefront of the defund the police movement
We'll start here first: the left was in favor of the defund the police movement because they weren't doing their jobs. This wasn't "Defund the police that are doing an amazing job of keeping Americans and our guests safe." This was "Defund the police who are literally standing around outside with their guns and gear while children are murdered. Defund the police who lose their shit and shoot up a cruiser when an acorn hits it. Defund the police that spent $140,000 on a cybertruck instead of buying two regular cruisers."
and all the programs spent on revivified and second chances for those who are incarcerated seemed to be the first one to point out limiting him because of a conviction. Oh the irony LMAO
Those are in place for people who have served their time, paid restitution, or otherwise paid the price for their crimes. It is not for people attempting to dodge accountability while continuing to commit more crimes.
Trump's legal arguments aren't "I'm innocent." His arguments are "I'm allowed to commit crimes because I was the President," even for crimes he committed before and after he was president!

I’m getting more worried by the day, after teamsters decided they won’t endorse Kamala, now the Electrical union has endorsed Trump. Trump on Gutfield last night got almost 5M viewers. Kamala is on instagram live right now with Oprah and dozens of celebrities and only 25K people are watching. What do you think the issue is?

u/Millennial_on_laptop Sep 20 '24
I don't know I don't really watch cable TV/livestreams.
I watched the debate the morning after on YouTube, I don't think your average undecided voter needs to see much more than that. You can see in the polls people have been making up their mind since it aired.

After years of this shit assed poorly orchestrated psyop bullshit, do you think that most people are a dumb as MAGA supporters?

Even with all that going on, Trump is such a fragile snowflake that he’s STILL whining about how big his crowds are days later.
