You tend to lose them once they enter the real world and see what their hard earned money goes towards with taxes. i probably earn way more money than you do. please, raise my taxes. --- |

| Mecha Sonic 07/17/20 1:03:53 PM #1 | https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/07/david-shor-cancel-culture-2020-election-theory-polls.html tl;dr: it's really really bad due to white working class voters trending against the democratic party, the democrats' position in the electoral college will continue to worsen for at least the next two election cycles (2024 and 2028). the electoral college bias is big enough that realistically, a democrat has to win the popular vote by 4 points in order to have a chance of winning the election. that will only become harder as time goes on. problems in the senate are even worse because of institutional bias and the death of ticket splitting. if there's a neutral political environment in 2024, democrats will be down to just 43 seats. the good news is that younger generations are now very liberal. but the downside is that younger people don't vote. over time, if dems can continue to convince new generations of young ppl to drift left, these investments will become more important. but right now, and for the next 10 years, it's not a good tradeoff. there are solutions. statehood for Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. pass the national popular vote electoral compact. outside of that, we're in for a rough time --- |

The end of labor is the start of a very long paper trail, because nopony can exist without being documented. Sending copies of a new foal's documents to the Herdbook Registry is perfectly normal. And of course, in order to make sure there's nothing strange going on, that paperwork gets reviewed. Which is done by bureaucrats who establish absolute control inside their office while having no idea of what's happening in the actual world. So as far as they're concerned, the forms associated with somepony named 'Flurry Heart'... Don't tell them. It's funnier if they find out on their own. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/472268/1/assigned-paperwork-at-birth/sanity-box-not-checked 2,162 words, Complete --- |

Do those people know Russia hasn't been the Soviet Union in almost 30 years? i dont think a lot of trump's supporters are really literate when it comes to history. the point of the ad is to provoke an emotional reaction that turns republican-leaning voters against trump. if the best way to do that is to misapply the hammer and sickle, i don't really care. assume the ad airs on fox news, it's going to be seen by mostly 65-year-old voters who hate the hammer of sickle regardless. hammer and sickle = russia, hammer and sickle inspires a visceral emotional reaction. i can see how plastering it over trump's face serves to make a point on an emotional level, even if it's not historically accurate. --- |

Suggesting Donald Trump is aligned with the proletariat seems, to me, to be a bad opposition strategy. the hammer and sickle is equivalent to the swastika to a majority of americans who came of age during the cold war. i don't think most of the people who see this ad will understand the history/meaning of the symbol. to them, hammer and sickle = russia and enemy. not communism. --- |

The son of a firefighter, he grew up in Prince Georges County, Maryland and eventually made his way to the New York fire department, because, as his father, Fletcher Slutman, Jr., explained, its the best. Christopher was the best of the best. In 2014, he was honored for bravery after rescuing an unconscious woman from a fire. He was also a Marine Reserves staff sergeant who had served in Iraq. Last year, he was assigned to duty in Afghanistan. I was in Afghanistan when this happened, on Bagram I remember hearing the explosion and getting an ominous feeling in my gut, because there hadn't been an announcement over the giant voice to alert anyone that there would be a controlled det A lot of people were going to lunch at the time and they saw the black smoke from the VBIED curling in the air over the perimeter wall --- |
