A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I mean, reality does have a liberal bias.
Funny joke, but this type of smugness is why Democrats keep losing elections lol.
If only it were that simple. I'd attribute it to lack of media literacy, lack of critical thinking, tribalism, propaganda saturation of the media, lack of proper education and understanding of the world we live in.
I'd give a lot of credit to being in office during an inflationary period resulting from COVID-19, for the last Presidential election.
ah yes i'm sure it has nothing to do with the dems being completely fucking useless, no it's definitely just them being smug..
Why not both?
because it's not true, them being smug is a tiny fraction of what's wrong with them, and pretending that it's worth noting is disingenous.
The Left appropriated the term "woke" from black jive talk of 90 years ago. That's a smug term and it definitely is a major gripe by MAGA against the Left.
It would have been better to use the term compassionate. I know it is four syllables but the Right couldn't ridicule compassion.
Have you been paying attention to what’s going on with the right? They’re literally framing empathy as a sin now.
Ah yes, I remember an example (are there others?):
"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy" — Elon Musk
What’s wrong with them and why they lose elections are two separate things.
Or maybe it has to do with targeted voter purges?
Well that, and fear-mongering and lying on the other side of the aisle.
