I know there's a lot of joking about "Jeff Probst hates women", but this season really feels like the producers are actively pissed that she beat all the players they liked better. --- Inviso thinks all starters should be Fire/Fighting. http://i.imgur.com/oOSm64C.gif |

| Blaziken 07/28/21 5:47:17 PM #140 | Yeah, the Dems lost seats in the House in 2020, barely managed to get a 50/50 Senate split due to a pair of runoffs in Georgia, and won the presidency by fewer votes than Trump did in 2016, despite winning a massive electoral vote margin. But sure, the Dems got a massive mandate to pull the country hard to the left. Okay. You know why the GOP win? Because they suffer no consequences for their actions. Every election, even if the Dems temporarily get a majority, it's only two years before people complain about the Dems not doing enough and either the House or the Senate or the Presidency swing back. And the GOP know this. They literally don't need to run on anything other than "Dems bad", and they'll win again, sooner rather than later. That's why the right doesn't need to change right now. They can keep moving further and further right, and further normalizing radical right-wing ideas, and it won't matter because they'll just win again in 204 years regardless. Given that our political system is fucking WILDLY unbalanced in favor of the GOP (and therefore the country's conservative majority), Dems need to hold power for a more sustained period of time to accomplish any sort of meaningful change anymore. That's just how things are. You don't like it, change the hearts and minds of the moderate majority of voters in the Democratic Party, who you seem more than content to bitch about by trashing their proxies in Congress and the White House, rather than retooling your message to appeal to them. --- Inviso thinks all starters should be Fire/Fighting. https://imgur.com/oOSm64C |

| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 366: Neeran End to the Tandenic |
| Blaziken 02/25/21 10:22:45 PM #96 | We as a country have largely transitioned from primary and secondary fields (ie. agriculture and manufacturing) and more into a tertiary economy (service and office jobs). As such, we put an overemphasis of the importance of college degrees in order to get people into the job market, which means more people going to college and incurring a greater deal of student loan debt (which is far more expensive nowadays than it was for the Silent Generation/Boomers/Gen Xers who came before more recent generations). But, at the same time, as college gets more expensive due to unchecked costs of universities (both private and public, but honestly, I'm more of the opinion that state universities should be free), the job market is becoming more competitive. Older Americans are living longer and working longer, meaning there are fewer job openings for that younger work force of college graduates, meaning they've spent more money on a degree our society tells them they need to have, only to get little in the way of paying off the debt incurred from earning that degree. All of this is background for explaining the current situation that younger generations feel today. They were sold a bill of goods that they, at a young age, were not adequately informed as to the costs, and as a result, the vast majority are stuck with a large portion of their life relegated to debt that it's difficult for them to pay back due to the fact that the job market just isn't always there for people with their degrees, unless they're willing to uproot their entire life and move to a new area, which is just not that easy to accomplish when you're already strapped for cash. With all of this in mind, eliminating student loan debt (and offering free state university education) would give these young generations a fighting chance of generating wealth, since they would actually have disposable income, rather than needing to continuously repay student loans. With disposable income, they can afford to save money for their future, or invest in housing, or just put money back into local economies to build them up. Keeping people indebted helps no one. --- Inviso thinks all starters should be Fire/Fighting. https://imgur.com/oOSm64C |

| Blaziken 02/25/21 9:43:41 PM #93 | ChaosTonyV4 posted... All three of these could easily be put under the umbrella of they dont think the parties are that different or will actually affect the change they want. I consider myself a moderate, leaning progressive because a lot (if not all) of the things people like you support make sense to me and SHOULD be implemented. To me, medicare for all is common sense. Getting rid of student debt is common sense. Implementing 15 dollar minimum wage (or more) is common sense. Because I listen to the arguments and I personally am MORE than willing to pay more in taxes to support these policies. However, my position is that I, and people like me are outliers. The majority of Democratic voters are to the right of me, and obviously Republican voters are to the right of me. And for those people, those things which I've done the research on and understand from an economic perspective aren't as palatable to them. I interact with those people regularly, and they are reliable Democratic voters...not Republicans at all, and these are some of the arguments I've had. They're against medicare for all because they're hard workers, and they do have life experience that has embittered them towards handouts for people (namely instances of them going out and getting a job, while their relatives "mooched" off of welfare and lived better than they did. They look at MTG and AOC and think both are extreme in opposites from where they personally stand. They look at the college debt issue and say "Well these people shouldn't be going to expensive, Ivy League schools and getting degrees in Art or English". I've tried to explain a more progressive angle to all of these arguments, but I'm not the typical person who they're hearing from. They're hearing loud, extremist voices of progressivism that talk down to them, or disregard their opinions. That's why I'm constantly harping on you guys for your messaging, or for constantly acting like "We're right, but the SYSTEM is the problem." It's not the system if your messaging isn't getting through to an overwhelming majority of voters. You're not getting the GOP voters. 74 million of them voted Trump after four years of Trump. So you have to rely on the Democrats, and the moderates outnumber the progressives when it comes to the Democratic Party. You don't like when moderates take you for granted, but moderates don't like when progressives take THEM for granted either. You've brought up that MLK quote a bunch of times, and yes, white moderates are a problem. But that quote does not address how to FIX the problem. And I think FIXING the problem means adjusting your messaging and adjusting your campaigning so that progressive ideas, which are good, are painted in a way that the moderate majority can stomach without shifting back towards the middle. --- Inviso thinks all starters should be Fire/Fighting. https://imgur.com/oOSm64C |

| Blaziken 02/23/21 7:18:31 PM #348 | Can I just say...even with WandaVision existing, I still just don't care about the Wanda/Vision relationship. They were both thrown into Ultron and got very little in terms of character development, which is fine...but then they're one of the key plot points in Civil War as they're recruited for opposite sides. And then the next time we see them, they're dating in Europe. Either they have no chemistry, or their relationship is given NO time to develop. Then we get to WandaVision and it's like...what have we actually SEEN to warrant the level of sadness Wanda displays in Endgame and now WandaVision? --- Inviso thinks all starters should be Fire/Fighting. https://imgur.com/oOSm64C |
