I don't particularly love either. Whiplash isn't something I'll listen to regularly, but it did grow on me, and whi-whiplash keeps popping into my head once in a while, so I voted for that.
As for the other one, well this is the first time I've been able to listen to Crazy the entire way through--in order to give it a "fair" shot before I voted--without having to stop it from so much cringing, so I'd call that a win. The song itself would be fine, but man, the lyrics and the delivery of them, I just cannot stand.

I actually consider Supernova more akin to Zimzalabim

I dunno why this is surprising or unique to Korea. Feels like we're just disconnected culturally. Here in the West or I'll speak for the US, at least, we have just as "weird" obsessions, but it just feels more "normal" to us. Like our own obsession with jawline, everyone and their mother getting filler for their lips and cheekbones, and doing buccal fat removal. Anyone around for the "thigh gap" trend a while back? And def don't look up the blackpill community if this weirds you out. This is just a taste:

I chose Armageddon, since everyone is trying to forget Hot Mess ever existed, even though it's my personal favorite.

A lot of my favorite Kpop songs have great rap verses, and it can add a lot, but I agree with lidora, in that I wish it wasn't obligatory. Some songs don't need rap, and just feels thrown in just because. And some groups have a rap line where I would prefer if they just sang. A lot of them are even better singers than rappers.

Increase the minimum wage, increase corporate taxes, increase capital gains tax so shareholders have to pay the same taxes as workers, replace private health insurance with a government option, expand social security, taxpayer funded public college tuition, organizing workplaces, price controls, public work programs for the unemployed, rent caps, and build lots of public housing for the unhoused etc.
Pretty much all hugely popular policies btw. It would be so easy for them to run on a platform of progressive populism, but they simply refuse because it goes against their own interests of capital accumulation for the elite.

They don't want Kamala to win, that why they are on the ballot. That's not unheard of, in fact, it's the opposite.
Also, even if we combine Kamala and jill's votes, results stay the same

If people didn't vote for Jill Stein they wouldn't vote for Kamala. There is no proof that they would.
Exactly. Kamala did nothing to earn my vote. I guess except not be Trump. Not exactly a candidate to get excited about. That only worked the first time with Biden. Not that it mattered for me anyway since I live in California.
I know the votes are still being counted, but as of now RFK had more votes than Jill Stein in California, and somehow she's to blame? Embarassing. -

I was already thinking about leaving tbh, regardless of who won. May not be for another few years though. Neither party actually supports the working class and US collapse is pretty much a reality at this point.
Some interesting things I noticed in this thread though.1. I am again reminded how lucky I am to live in my bubble because some of the views people here hold. Wow that's gross.
2. Jill Stein did not impact the election in any meaningful way. Jill Stein "stealing" votes was about trying to give the Dems a wakeup call (Will never happen. Didn't happen in 2016, won't happen now. They gave us Joe Biden of all people.)3. Instead of blaming voters who didn't show up for Kamala, maybe blame Kamala's team for not showing up for them, alienating progressives and trying to appeal to moderate Republicans with her stances on immigration and foreign policy, when all the fence-sitters care about is the economy, and she didn't even try distancing herself from Biden until it was far too late. Also, Liz fucking Cheney, really? It's wild people still want to call her left wing when she more right than anything else.
4. This is karma for what they did to Bernie.5. I don't know why anyone is surprised by this outcome.

First of all, I just want to clear up the fact that the only major demographic groups that voted more for Trump were white men and women and Latino men. I'm not saying you are necessarily, but I see an alarming number of people blaming certain minority groups for Trumps victory, when that is really not what we should be taking away from this. Instead blaming the voters, we should be holding Kamala's team accountable.
Does Kamala being non-white and a woman make a difference? Of course, but that is not THE reason she lost. She lost because she ran a bad campaign. So much of her campaign was about women's rights and look how white women voted. That's because they do not care, just like they do not care that he is a criminal/ra(c/p)ist/narcissist or whatever. So many white women will prioritize their race over their gender, but that's a whole other topic of conversation.
As the user above me wrote, inflation has been insane recently and people were convinced Biden was to blame. Kamala didn't successfuly distance herself from him, and at first wasn't even trying to. She alienated progressives with her stances on immigration and Israel, and she couldn't address the economic concerns of centrists. Values such as religion, social conservatism are not irrelevant but completely overemphasized. What does the average American want? More money in their wallets. -

8. I'm guessing Karina because of the mole.
