The crazy thing is many of them are minorities -- Filipino, Brown, Persian, Black, Chinese, etc.
Trump could bomb and extradite everyone from their countries tomorrow and they'd still be celebrating the man because they made a profit in crypto.
Garbage people. | it scares me to the degree that Trump and Vance were staked by crypto. I keep hoping it will just fizzle out or get clamped hard by some kind of heavy regulation, but as of tuesday I'd say that neither of those things will happen.
106k CAD today. Shit is wild again.

Btw, I take being called an “underachiever” a compliment because in my mind I’ve over achieved massively to live in a situation like HEHE says where I live without financial stress and I’m able to make friends and family happy. Hope you can say the same | Stock market people know that it's also earnings season and Fed week. But average Joe will say it was all Trump

These guys are way down the pyramid scheme and don't get it. You can still win when you're in the middle, but chances are they are a lot further down than they think they are.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
How do Democrats/Progressives/Liberals dig themselves from out of this media hell-scape? How do we get our message out there to the masses when the right effectively as a chokehold on the information environment?
CNN was bought out by rightwing ownership, Washington Post wasn't even allowed to endorse Harris because Bezos stepped in and stopped that, Twitter is owned by Musk, the largest Podcasts online are heavily Conservative (Joe Rogan), Sinclair Broadcasting pretty much own most of the news networks and radio in the US, add Fox News as being most watched cable news network in the country. Sprinkle in all the Youtubers that have also pivoted right over the last few years as well, cramming out content.
They have effectively cultivated a mass propaganda wing on all levels of media, which is an extremely tough hill to climb. It's a problem rearing it's ugly head in Canada as well --- with the likes of Post Media controlling pretty much all forms of news in this country.
This needs to be researched and plan needs to be made to be able to combat this going forward.

Not complaining either way. Elections are a great entry point for beginner investors. Market based ETF’s with double digit returns over night
Although.. kinda sets you up for disappointment and confusion going forward lol

As someone who has been in the crypto space for a long time and has pretty much done everything in it crypto will never be mainstream and used on a daily basis by your average person.

Not an expert but to me it should be someone who is proven popular in a "battleground state". Someone who has already swung votes from red to blue. That's not Newsome - they HATE him. Joe Rogan would rant about him before he even went fully insane

I'm not an expert either but people seemed pretty excited about Walz as potential VP. Far more than about Harris at least. Walz/Buttigeig might be cool but they may not even want to chance a gay VP which is a shame.

Walz came off as such a gomer on his debate. That's just my opinion but it's how I felt watching clips from it.
I have stuff in crypto including some miners abroad so I've made gains on it but I've been kind of annoyed and super torn about it ever since Trump started backing it to the point I wish I hadn't invested in the miners but too late to go back on that. I'm definitely not proud of it that's for sure, hopefully it doesn't get 1:1 imaged with these clowns.

I don’t know of any Chinese people who bought crypto. At least not in my circle of douche bags. Most are wayyyy too cheap to put any money into some digital bs that has no solid material backing behind it. Ie not based on gold.
Most are just dumb ass gic and rrsp holders. The richer ones have a regular mutual funds portfolio.

There's a lot of reasons why Harris didn't make the cut, but how many millions of people will just never vote for a woman no matter what. Even if that's just staying home instead of voting the other choice - doesn't help.
Dems need another Obama ASAP. And it pains me to type it out, but he needs to be white.
300 million people and they can't find anybody under 80 that actually wants the job.
EDIT: same post as Mike basically | I personally don’t mind Newsom; he knows how to talk, he's running the 3rd largest economy in the world and has the look to be President. However, California has such a bad reputation that his chances of winning swing states are fairly low. And I’m sure the Trump machine would come after him with a vengeance. After all, Don Jr.'s fiancee is Newsom's ex, so he’d probably take it personally lol.
What about the wild card, Michelle Obama? The Obamas have said they have no interest in running for public office, but judging by various articles, it seems like they’re still influential behind the scenes. In fact, Obama was reportedly reluctant to back Kamala when she announced her run.

As much as I like Michelle Obama, not sure what qualifications she brings, but then look at who is the President elect. I would assume she'd lean on her husband a lot.

These people wouldn't have dared do this 6 weeks ago.
Expect this to have emboldened the absolute scum of the US. Then you get retards "well if they can have a pride parade what's wrong with this?" https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business...-election-day/ Quote:
Phrases such as “your body, my choice,” promoted by White nationalist podcaster Nick Fuentes, saw a 4,600% increase on Nov. 6, ISD said. Posts calling for repealing the 19th Amendment, which enabled women the right to vote in the US about a century ago, surged 663% compared to the previous week. The post by Fuentes on X now has more than 58 million views since Nov. 5.
There were also signs that harassment extended into real life, in schools and university campuses. Young girls and parents have been sharing instances where “your body, my choice” were being directed at girls or being chanted by young boys in classes, ISD said.
| I hope any motherfucker that has a daughter that experiences this sees this, and has the fucking balls to look her in the eye and say
"These are the people I voted alongside"
Fucking losers.

W-T-F is wrong with these fxxking idiots?!

Voting for Trump doesn't automatically group you in with those fucking losers any more than voting for Kamala groups you in with some dude who turned trans just to creep in women's bathrooms. These are a fringe groups of losers who probably can't get laid and decide to hate women cause no one wants them.

My gf told me when she was living in LA for 17 years and she never faced any racism until 2016 after Trump got in and then she got people drive by her at night yelling out "LOVE YOU LONG TIME CHING CHONG" and making slanty eyes at her with their fingers and various other comments on a bunch of different occasions.

These are a fringe groups of losers who probably can't get laid and decide to hate women cause no one wants them. | Trump appointed people to the Supreme Court responsible for overturning roe V wade.
Kamala said "trans people have rights"
You see the lack of equivalency to that, right?
You see how one has had measurable consequences, and one is just a statement of acceptance right?
These people are celebrating an attack on women by trump and his administration.
Some dude cutting his dick off to go into a women's washroom (which also isn't real by the way) was not a result of Kamala's non existent administration.
This would be like a bunch of trans people on campus celebrating the rape of a woman in a public washroom by a trans person actually. So yeah it's kinda different.
Voting for trump doesnt mean you want women's rights taken away, thats reasonable, but it means at the very least, you don't fucking care, and that's a measurable fact.

I still think this is very fringe and the vast majority of people don't want to strip women of their rights to not get fucking raped at will, get real.
