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.

Stock market people know that it's also earnings season and Fed week. But average Joe will say it was all Trump

Blackrock bought 1 billion worth the morning after the election. These guys are gonna see what happens when they get pump and dumped. That's the thing. 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.

simply have to be able to outspend them

I don't think it's possible to do it though

A lot of the big tech gains have already reported earnings prior to the election, but yea it’s all a cumulative effect rather than the Orange Man bump.

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

The money is only in your pocket if you sell all your shares. Are you selling them now? Might be a good idea LUL

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.

So yah, if a woman on the ticket isn't going to fly, then I would really like to see Hakeem Jefferies, leader of the Dems House. Not sure of US can handle another black president with a name like Hakeem ... but ...

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.

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.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore will be interesting to watch. I think he’ll test the waters to see if he has a chance And it’s not just about the US wary about electing another Black president; I’m not sure if the Democrats will wary because they don't want to risk losing another election.

When Biden stepped down and there were talks of who to replace, I recall reading somewhere that Michelle Obama was the only name who could defeat Donald Trump.

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?"

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?! FailFish

I can view the "Homo sex is sin" as some sort of religious BS. But "Women are property"?! How fxxked in the head would someone in western society need to be in this day and age to think that is OK???

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.

This guy literally had dinner with trump. It's not the fringe.

Maybe not, but they still deserve a portion of the blame for the ramifications of their vote.

And boys / males chanting "your body, my choice"... How is that any different from rape???

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.

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.

So does every Democrat that didn't get off their ass to vote because they didn't think it was worth the trouble. So does the democratic party running a shit campaign allowing someone like a Trump to win. The Dems always have the numbers to win but they don't show up.

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.
