Your argument assumes 100% turnout in past elections. In 2016 there was a relative increase in voter turnout in specific low education groups. Specifically there was an increase in high school and bellow educated turnout in rural communities.
So, parallel to the core Democrat low education inner city vote?
What the Russians were able to do is increase voter turnout among very very uneducated rural voters by spending little cash.
Interesting. So Jethro browsed these ads on his moonshine still, I guess? (I'm assuming not over broadband on his Mac)
And you're going to win them over now by... calling them stupid?
The reason why they were able to do it with little cash is that they were able to run politically toxic ads without any blowback to the R party due to the arms length lack of association with the direct R party.
Then I suggest you hire those Russians. They are the most amazing political operatives evah.
I'm not sure this overall narrative actually says what you want it to say.
"Russians swayed dumb mouth breathing voters with crazy fake news"
Okay... we've had a pretty evenly split national electorate for quite awhile now... so if Russia managed (through the most incredible small investment in political history, btw) to sway enough idiot stupid dumb (did I stick closely enough to the narrative there?) people to sway the presidential election... then which side did those moronic people come from?
(Spoiler / hint: not the side that won... outside influence would need to peel votes from the other side...)
"How dare you steal our dumb voters" might not be the best slogan for ya.
Last fall, someone who went by the name Dmitry Tseptsov sent several emails to Morganti to ask for codes, explaining that he operated a coffee shop in Ukraine
If you can't trust a random email from someone claiming to be in a coffee shop in Ukraine, then who can you trust???
The mail is no longer on your server once you send it.
Like everyone with something similar has done it.
When you e-mail someone.... If the recipient is a non-Gmail user or an IMAP or POP3 user:
It's going to send them a message with an annoying link instead of the actual E-mail content.
The annoying link will refer back to a "Confidential Message Viewer" hosted on Google's servers.
It will probably prompt you for the secret code and then use Javascript to render a JPEG of the
message text on a HTML5 canvas using WebGL GPU rendering in a manner where the Operating System
won't see the content, or so screenshot shows a black screen generally, and then use Javascript hooks to block access to select or
access Context Menus; Who knows, maybe they've implemented some special CSS directives in Chrome to allow the
web page to restrict the browser commands that could otherwise Print a copy of content.
Dang... I might sprain my wrist or something taking my phone out of my pocket and taking a shot of the screen.
But, think of how many diversity training classes you could hold, with that kind of money?
Think of how many women and Eskimos you could teach to code?
How many "sustainable" things you could, er, sustain with all those external funds??
Priorities, people!!
Boy, you try to speak up for marginalized and underrepresented populations, and what do you get... modded to oblivion by the shills of the Telescope Industrial Complex.
internet search results, carefully printed on glossy paper and binded in a luxury edition.
You jest, but I remember a service in the dark ages of the Internet that let you request web pages via email. (I guess if you had low bandwidth, or access to email but not web for some reason.)
It would retrieve the web page, convert it to plain text as best it could, all the links would be converted to text with footnotes, and the footnotes would have the URLs of the links. Then it would email you the web page in that format.
I do believe one of the things I retrieved with it was search results...
Making a movie for women isn't sexist. It doesn't hurt men.
And the problem isn't white males. You even quoted the damn explanation of the problem but somehow saw the phrase "white male" and had some kind of Pavlovian response.
The problem is movies being reviewed almost exclusively by people who are not the target audience and who don't understand them.
Geeks should understand this very well. How often do critics slate great sci-fi movies that we love and which become cult classics? The views of sci-fi fan critics get buried by the ones who thought LaLa Land was better.
Then the people who are upset about that should leave more reviews. Or ignore the reviews.
The hook for brick and mortar now is in online integration.
It's nice to have someplace you can return the stuff you got online, without having to ship it back. It's nice to have a showroom for certain items. Someplace to get service. Faster, cheaper, or both shipping if you order and then come and pick it up.
On the other hand Amazon Prime Video does this at the start of watching anything as far as I can tell and I just skip so fast I don't think I've ever learned anything from it.
Hmm; I haven't seen this on Amazon Prime video. Maybe they only do it to certain content?
Then they should buy different clothing. If women only bought clothes with large pockets, manufacturers would only make clothes with large pockets.
It's cute that nerds think the clothing industry works like an idealised free market.
Fact: Anyone who thinks this way has never had to buy clothes for a woman.
It's not all or nothing.
True, the industry is dominated by gay fashion designers, who seem to think that women should be skinny as rails.
That said, women themselves often want to think of themselves being as skinny as rails. But like any human being, they can be conflicted about things. Thus the various absurdities of women's sizing schemes, etc.
Politically, the primary thing you can do is either donate to or vote for candidates who support dealing with climate change. Much of Europe is doing the right things already regarding this (with the exception of Germany's really bad decision to turn off their nuclear plants). But both the US and Australia currently have governments who are substantially not helping matters. In the US, this means generally one should be voting for Democrats.
Um, what? To ramp up the nuclear plants, you should vote Democrat?

If it's everywhere, and been going on that long, it can't be all that apocalyptic. Most organisms must handle it pretty darn well.
There was a time when the Left would have had a massive cow about huge media companies literally colluding to suppress unapproved points of view.
In at least two states, it's also negotiated with utilities and politicians to stick other people with the bills
So, is this Amazon's fault, or the fault of the "utilities and politicians"?
In other news, food does not actually look as good as the picture on the package.
Not saying that I like that, just wondering why start freaking out about it now.
I don't think he'll easily find another job
Being that his job was to play video games and tell people what he thinks about it, then tried to cheat at that. He seems the looser of loosers.
looser of loosers.
The grammar irony is strong with this one.
'This is Now Your Father's Microsoft':
I think you mean "not".
I hope.
Lower income people are often very conservative as a result. Taking that away could change that political dynamic...
Make up your mind; I thought we all wore top hats and lit our cigars with $100 bills!
after internet sleuths found that dozens of his articles and videos copied or rephrased from other websites without attribution.
Sleuths? They just googled, right?
"And I would have got away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids and your Google!"

I've always thought that the people who make women's clothes must actually hate women.
The people who design them are gay fashion designers.
Believe me, I live with four of them. They do not want any kind of visible, practical pocket.
They don't even want seams underneath to show; you think they want a big bag sewn inside their pants?
If they wanted larger pockets, their clothes would have them. It's not a conspiracy by the patriarchy to keep them down ...
Seems reasonable ... we want the game play to be human, but mechanical tasks like measuring what was where when, why not automate them?
