I mean, I didn't vote for Trump so IDK what you're talking about.
I think he was trying to be edgy by implying that he was voting Trump just to spite you or something

All it took was 3 stupid fucking tweets to flip everything on its head. He later made an official order, which is when I got shut out. Unfortunately while CA's NG would've gladly had me, I still had to go through federal level appeals. In other words, not going to happen.
But also with the way the NG has been used to suppress protests I'm glad to not be involved right now.

New wuestion, what is the worst change in your life in the last four years and what how do you expect it to get better/worse depending on who wins
Well I almost joined the National Guard but now I'm banned from joining.
How do you think your life changed because you missed the opportunity?
Well I most likely would've been deployed out to help fight the wildfires and to suppress the protests, so...
I mean do you feel like you missed any opportunities for personal growth or achievement?
Or maybe you found new ones?
I became quite disillusioned after the ban officially went into effect (and on my birthday too) and my recruiter ghosted me even though I scored high on my ASVAB. I was looking for stability and structure in my life and thought that going reserves and staying local with the NG would give me that. Tried to join the Conservation Corps after the ban but I was a year too old to join. Then I lost both of my jobs to covid. Now I'm at a point where I no longer see a future with any semblance of stability.
Damn I'm sorry that happened to you. Pandemic won't last forever though. Have you given thought to plans for after? Is reenlisting an option?
Right now the plan is to save up to move to a more civilized country after I'm done with some stuff.
Where are you going and what are going to do there?
I'm not ready to reveal my cards yet but there are a few places I'm considering, for a few I'll have to learn a new language but I'm not opposed to the idea. I'm currently majoring in cybersecurity and may pursue something in that avenue but I'm leaving my options open for the time being. If there's one thing I am, it's adaptable. But I'm tired of playing the stockholm syndrome game with this country.
If it gives you peace of mind, more power to you
I hope it treats you better than the National Guard did
It's not the National Guard's fault, it's Trump and the Department of Defense.

In retrospect I'm glad to not be in the Guard right now though. But that's besides the point.

I didn't look any of the words up so I kind of wonder what effect that had on my result. There were a few I sort of just guessed the meaning of.

I mean I'd generally agree, which is why I said if I were in any other state I'd vote Biden even though I'd be thoroughly unhappy about it.

and speaking as someone who voted third party in the last election and would vote third party again, voting third party in THIS election, just because "two party system bad," is also kind of cringe
there's a bigger problem on our hands right now and it must be expunged immediately
Again if I wasn't in California I wouldn't be voting this way, but don't forget that Trump lost the popular vote by over 3 million people last time. All those votes meant jack shit in a state like mine which is guaranteed to go blue because of the electoral college anyway. I'm not voting 3rd party because "two party system bad", but because I legitimately don't see either party as doing anything in my or anyone else's favor, and more numbers for the 3rd parties means they get more funding. Trump is obviously considerably worse, but Biden is a pretty shitty fucking choice too. Biden represents a return to the status quo for a lot of people, but things were pretty fucking garbage already pre-Trump. I don't feel any responsibility voting for a candidate that doesn't represent my interests past pushing things back partially to where they used to be. Biden is a Republican in blue clothing. He was chosen as Obama's running mate because of this, and it's really funny that so many conservatives are too stupid to realize that. People forget he opposed desegregation and worked against the civil rights movement, contrary to what he says now. The overton window in the US has shifted so far right that a return to milquetoast 1992 center right politics is considered radical leftism to Trump's base. Dems will try to "nudge him to the left" which is better, sure, but beyond virtue signaling for social causes and partially reversing some of the damage, I don't have a lot of faith. He's trying hard to appeal to the center and the right, just as he always has. Biden has also made it clear that he will not create universal healthcare, he will not ban fracking, or do much of anything to address police brutality. A sizeable chunk of Obama's appointees and cabinet were from Goldman-Sachs, he deported over 2.5 million people, and he allowed the unchecked escalation of drone strikes in countries we were not at war with and had no business being in. "But Trump has been worse" you may say: yes, true, but it was Obama's administration who gave Trump the precedent and the tools. In 2009 a democrat controlled congress set a daily quota of holding 40,000 immigrants in ICE custody, 70% of them being housed in private prisons until they massively expanded that program. Most of the detention centers and cages Trump is using now were built under the Obama administration. We wouldn't even be in this mess if it wasn't for a lot of the decisions made under his administration. The DNC really knows how to pick unappealing candidates. Regardless of the results, there's a very good chance I'm going to leave the country within the next 5-10 years or so. Would leave sooner if I could, but I have some responsibilities to take care of first plus I need to save enough money to move. I genuinely believe this country is a lost cause, and I'd like to have some semblance of a future. Not to mention, besides the Supreme Court, Trump has appointed roughly a quarter of all currently sitting federal judges and many of them are quite young. Any meager attempts at pushing to the left will be thwarted by the courts. I genuinely do not believe that things will get better any time soon.

The only reason we don't have a tiered/ranked voting system like an actual civilized country (among many other things) is because they know it would disrupt the 2 party system, of which I am of the mind that that they are both one and the same.
I'm in California which means my vote is worth practically nothing thanks to the electoral system so I'll be voting 3rd party again. If that wasn't the case and I were in a different state I suppose I'd be begrudgingly voting Biden. As usual I'm way more concerned with the local/state politics as they are significantly more important, prop 24 being one of the big ones.

speaking of shit that only someone with the most autistically warped priorities ever would care about
🦀 blaire white doesn't have a million subscribers anymore 🦀
Just for comparison, what was her peak?
she only just got done celebrating getting 1 million less than a month ago lol
lmao she really slowed down in getting subs then, I remember when a year+ ago (I have no concept of time anymore) people were saying she was almost at a million and that she would definitely get there before Contrapoints sike

Still teaching, but I‘m hoping to at least be doing a few physics classes considering that’s what my certification is in. I love teaching ninth grade science, but I want to do more advanced material a lot of the time.
My school has offered astronomy classes as electives before, but COVID kind of strangulated the range of things we can teach. But I think I’ll be able to put that together in the next few years.
You're a teacher?
How old are you
he's younger than me, so if he's more than a tutor or some shit, that's kind of shocking
it wouldn't actually be the first time he's exaggerated his accomplishments
Ouch. I don't think it's that far fetched actually, assuming he's in the US there has been severe shortages in grade school teachers leading to a much lower bar for entry.

A lot of bullshit that I'm going to have to research to get a halfway decent informed opinion. 11 propositions total.
