Comment on Nvidia and OpenAI abandon unfinished $100-billion deal in favour of $30-billion investment
Jhex@lemmy.world 2 days agohmmm Trump is most deeply unpopular for doing the things he said he’d do… forced deportations, ICE, etc
The entire Project 2025 was out and morons still voted the pedo in…
I’m sorry but there may be smart Americans out there but, and a population, Americans are basically a blob of idiotic sociopaths

You’re missing the point…
Even with the dumbest audience possible, if two people are trying to convince the audience a charismatic liar can win if their opponent is also lying or has no charisma.
But no matter how charismatic or how good of a liar. It’s really fucking hard to beat someone with average charisma who doesn’t need to lie about wanting to help people
Look at Mamdani, I love the guy.
But people act like he’s drilling charisma just because he’s compared to Eric Adams.
He’s not that charismatic, watch his interviews with Mero, he’s a nerd from the Bronx.
It’s just an honest person that wants to help doesn’t need a lot of charisma, cuz they’re not selling lies
The day Mamdani won the primary, the current chair of the DNC came out saying all this too, and saying that’s what we need as a dem.presidential candidate in 2028.

hmmm I am still skeptical.
I believe the only reason Mamdani won (and I am happy he did) is because trump went off the rails immediately after getting voted in. It literally took democracy to basically collapse and people to literally die on the streets for some groups to wake up
Had Mamdani ran a few years back, even during trump’s first gov and the ingrained racism in American society would have kept him way out
Don’t get me wrong, at the end of the day I hope you are correct and I am wrong as you are presenting a reasonable path for improvement. I am just too jaded now to believe there is such a thing as common sense

For you…
It took demographicsyou identify with experiencing those things for you to notice groups waking up.
But different demographics have been thru this for generations, and various groups have been waking up to it for just as long
So congrats for joining us. Just try to remember you’re not the first, and you hopefully won’t be the last. Look around and realize that as you come up with “new” ideas, some people been in this so long they learned it from their grandfather before they learned how to ride a bike.
That’s a good thing for you. You don’t have to start from scratch.
Just open your eyes some more, stay woke, don’t get mad your not a leader and quit.

I am not claiming nobody noticed… I am saying the overall voting population of the USA did not.
Sure there have been people sounding bells of this collapse for a while but nobody listened and the USA voted a pedophile into office for a second term.
If SOME people noticed earlier, well that’s great, but at the end of the day the dumb masses drove the country off the cliff
