I have not, but I’ve done some immigration and have general advice:

Immigration is expensive and very time consuming to get the required documents.

• Figure out how you’re going to get residence, what visa you’ll be on, what visa your kids will be on
• See if you have to enroll in school ahead of time
• Test the job market by applying, interviewing, and getting offers beforehand. Even if you decline them, you don’t want to be surprised
• Make a spreadsheet of needed documentation for each person. Forgetting one thing can screw you up badly on the day you need it
• Do everything above, twice, to make sure you didn’t screw up the first time

Imo immigration is an amazing way to live the only life you have, but make sure you put in the work to make it work. I’ve seen lots of immigrants give up and go back to their home country before putting in the effort to fully realize their dreams, and it’s low-key sad

I know you’re memeing, but to be honest, yes, I want a President whose platform is somewhat like what you described. Obviously I disagree with some random parts (i.e. “with more communism, no, more socialism, with consequences for the right”), but for heavens sake, at least the theoretical person running for President above is trying something new. They would get my vote.

This is what the Right is doing with Trump after all, and clearly people like it.

Yes!! Let’s fight facism with facism

“Not bothering” means more people not supporting Democrats, which means Republicans getting elected more.

See? I can do DNC logic too. It’s actually your fault Trump got elected.

Ok. Sure. Myself and millions of others helped get Trump elected. Hopefully you can figure out how to appeal to us next election.

You’re understanding tariffs correctly, but the conclusion is off. I’ll give an example driving tariffs to the extreme to explain:

Imagine tariffs are so high, the US can’t economically import anymore. This is effectively the same as very tight sanctions, aka like North Korea.

Everything in North Korea is manufactured locally, and it doesn’t scale. Doing things locally works great, but you focus on a couple things and trade for the rest.

Can some tariffs help the economy? Definitely, it’s a bit of a catalyst. Will a lot of tariffs hurt the economy? Also definitely.

Maybe Trump has mathed out the exact level of tariffs to boost the economy. If, however, that is the case, he hasn’t shown his work on it.

Edit: I will caveat it is clear most people in this thread saying “even I know what a tariff is!” Are mostly wrong. So if that’s why you’re feeling crazy, it’s because you’re in a thread full of people who aren’t as smart as they think they are.

This is definitely fake, but […] I choose to believe it’s real

2024 election in a nutshell

I’m not surprised you misinterpreted my comment, I’m surprised people upvoted your misinterpretation. I never said Trump was third party

I think some people have explained it decently, but as someone who did not vote for Harris, I have a simple explanation:

I do not want the Democratic party to think it’s Ok to be slightly better than Trump.

If I’m going to be honest, trans rights and immigration are minor issues compared to inequality and war in Gaza.

The Dems can be better, but they choose not to. Me voting for Dems signals that what Dems are doing is acceptable, but it’s not. I supported third party in 2024, and I will continue to do so until the Democrats get serious reform.

(For those who think it would be “less bad” with Harris, that’s the problem. I don’t care for “less bad” when the duopoly got us here regardless. Represent the people.)

Third parties represent the poor better

I predicted you wanted to multiply your answer by 1.2x. No need to thank me!!

Good, AI is the trojan horse to copyright.

Lmao liberals downvoting you for daring to think sums up the 2024 election pretty good

People keep saying this, but misunderstand why people didn’t vote for Harris over Gaza.

It doesn’t matter if Trump is worse. People don’t want the Democrats to think this behavior is OK.

Nah they wouldn’t shut up about him til the point it got numb. Maybe they should have focused on Kamala instead.

I would assume the answer to your question is “this data sucks”

Imagine still not getting it.

We didn’t vote for Trump. Harris knew (or should have known) we wouldn’t support her genocide. Now she lost.

Yes, a Trump win is bad. But I would rather a Trump win than to let Democrats think I will vote for them no matter what.

Third party until they completely reform their shenanigans.

Ding ding ding! Trump went further right and got more support. DNC should go further left. People want radical change in 2024

Roleplayers be like

What does your escape plan look like?

Edit: lmao people LARPing
