Lmfao what a post.

"They have to EARN our votes!!!"

Other candidate gets more votes than your candidate

"Thats not fair!!!"

Other candidate gets more votes*

*in the party primary process which is controlled by the party and is mainly voted on by party diehards.

"Status quo" is code for "both sides", and my response to your "both sides" arguments here will be the same as it was on 261: /dismissive wank

So you don't think the democratic party serves corporate interests first and foremost?

So you admit the democrats value the status quo above all and thus voting for them won't actually change anything for the better.

Super PACs suck.

You know who made Super PACs possible? Conservative SC Justices.

You know who appoints conservative SC Justices? Republicans.

You know who benefits when progressive voters punish liberal candidates at the polls? Republicans.

You know who loves republicans? Democrats.

I love how you decided to laser focus on the super PAC part of my post (the super PAC used to the benefit of the democratic party btw) and not the parts where democrats colluded to make sure Bernie didn't get the nomination just so they could uphold the status quo with Joe "nothing would fundamentally change" Biden.

This is not a good take at all. As you seem to think Republicans winning in 2024 somehow guarantees Democrats will even get a chance to in 2026 and 2028.

Literally abortion is a problem in the first place is because of people like you toting your logic in 2016. Well guess what, your grand prize was a conservative Supreme Court that led the way to Roe v Wade being overturned. Elections have consequences. Regardless if you are madly in love with both candidates or not, one of those 2 are likely to win regardless, and they are both not equally damaging.

Each time a Republican wins, it makes it that much harder to reverse the damage they have done. This idea that some dream progressive is going to stroll in reversing total 180s on Republican legislation damages is not realistic. Things like education being gutted would and will have lasting damages. Republicans pushing to make sure their dear leader is harder to remove this go around would have lasting damages as their failed coup is already looking to be a failed proving ground they aim to get right this time if he wins.

Generations of damage is not a "small price." Especially given what Republicans are literally aiming to do which is to install their white ethno theocratic state with Trump and his sycophants at the wheel.

Except when democrats have the chance, they don't reverse damage or provide progress. Take Obama having a supermajority and promising to act on reproductive rights while on the campaign trail, then... https://www.reuters.com/article/obama-abortion/obama-says-abortion-rights-law-not-a-top-priority-idUKN2946642020090430

2016 was literally the result of democrats 1) Doing what they can to have Trump as an opponent so they can point and say "our opponent is so bad that you must vote for us because there is no alternative" and 2) Insisting that it's "her turn" to be president so they pulled all the stops to make Hillary the nominee through the party primary process which skews heavily in favor of what the party wants (since typically party diehards are the ones participating during that party process) even though she was deeply unpopular on the national level. Both Hillary and Trump had a below 50% approval rating before the election. They couldn't have chosen to promote someone with a better approval rating to ensure victory?

The last year I did it was when I was 10 and then I didn't feel like doing it anymore, but I think up until 12 is about right.

Nothing has been the same since the pandemic. They laid off a whole bunch of people, saw that customers can only complain but will continue to shop, and then just kept stores to fewer employees. Fast food is the worst for this.

Clyburn's endorsement helped Biden win SC by a relative landslide, which established him as the "head" of the moderate Voltron.

Yep, and the media machine ran it as a "miracle" and then all the other candidates magically dropped out and put their full support behind Biden right before Super Tuesday, except Elizabeth Warren had a magical super PAC crop up to run ads and split votes between her and Bernie. The super PAC magically fell apart shortly after.

God you fake progressives are worthless.

Oh right, the *true* progressives are assholes like Biden pledging additional billions of dollars to an ethnostate in the middle of their genocide spree.

Tyranthraxus posted...

I am so tired of this fucking argument goes in circles faster than the large hadron collider. Do whatever you want.

It goes in circles because you don't understand that guaranteeing your vote is just about the dumbest strategy one can have if you want to teach a politician a lesson. Their interest in you begins and ends with your vote and even then, democrats have shown that they'd rather lose than let progressive policies through.

Tyranthraxus posted...

You send them the message by smaller competitive races where they can lose to progressives. Eventually, when most of the party is progressives, the president will also be progressive.

Electing a fascist because you don't want to elect a liberal is self defeating regressive politics that will promulgate genocide. The choice needs to be between a liberal and a progressive, not between a liberal and a fascist.

You know what will "promulgate genocide"? Voting for democrats, apparently, who are content with showering Israel in additional billions of dollars while they commit genocide. Democrats don't give a fuck about smaller races, they intentionally reduce support for progressive candidates and will try to primary them. They know progressive candidates can win, but they're not interested in that, they're interested in continuing the status quo.

Tyranthraxus posted...

This has nothing to do about who is doing what to earn votes. This is about how you owe it to yourself to fight fascism in any way that you can. And some times you lack the ability to make meaningful changes and that's ok. That doesn't excuse you from doing what you can do, however, which is to use your vote to make sure fascists win as little as possible.

https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/

Democrats help fascists. So if the choices are between fascism and helping fascism, it's not really a choice. Democrats need to get the message that this is not okay. Guaranteeing your votes isn't the way to do that.

The US is a very rich country despite all the gloom and doom you hear

The country is rich only if you count the total of all riches. Most people in the US are poor, which is why the mean is so far up from the median. Billionaires existing doesn't get rid of the gloom and doom, in fact they're the cause of it.

It should be illegal to create video or image deep fakes designed to harass, intimidate, or deceive others. Especially that of a pornographic nature. Using a child as a basis should be a life fucking sentence. No question. Fuck what age you did it at.

This shit needs to be cracked down on. Hard. Absolutely destroy people's lives so people get the fucking point.

I agree that there should be some sort of deterrence but this goes way too fucking far. Making a fake image means spending the rest of your life in prison?

Even when looking at the mediananother measure of the average, which represents the midpoint in the ranking and is less likely to be skewed by exceptionally high or low numbersthe typical American household was worth $192,900.

This is why the median is a more important figure here.

Yeah, nah, that's not sexualized at all. Shit is shaped like sausage links.

I can see someone arguing that it's not inherently sexual, but it'd be a weak argument. They look exactly like a stereotypical bunny outfit

What's supposed to be sexual about that? It looks like a segmented doll and if anything its head is kinda creepy. Reminds me of when I'd see Gardevoir drawn with tits all the time and then when I see the official art I do a double take because it's not sexual at all and the difference is huge (and it makes sense since it's a children's show).

Do people who think you have to give a detailed report not understand summarization? You can respond with one or a handful of words that give a general idea of how you're feeling/doing like "great" or "busy" or "okay" or "not so well". If the person you respond to is interested in more detail, they can ask for more information. It's really not complicated.

Must be like a Super Food i.e. overhyped product called "super" to shift more units.

It's honestly not. Russia is obviously the aggressor and to be condemned fully and Ukraine defending their nation is their duty and right, but there is a lot to be said regarding the expansion of Western imperial powers through the growth of NATO as a direct result of the conflict.

That might be secondary to the conflict itself, but it's near impossible to separate it at this point.

Be careful. You can get modded/instantly suspended for daring to suggest that global politics is more complicated than a children's cartoon.

Zelenskyy said he wanted Ukraine to be "a big Israel": https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/zelenskyy-wants-ukraine-to-be-a-big-israel-heres-a-road-map/

There's a pro-palestine aspect of the right or is it just a not very good way to depict neo nazis?

It's a very dumb way of depicting neo nazis for a number of reasons because they love the idea of expelling Jews to some other country and also Israel gives them an example of a successful ethnostate that they can point to and say "we want that for ourselves". Additionally, neo nazis don't like Arabs or Muslims either. Horseshoe theory continues to be stupid.

Pretty sure that's an AI-generated backstory.

From what I hear the clones all suck because they don't have the perfect fruit physics. It sounds nuts but in the Suika game the fruit "squishes" just a little when you drop on them, which sometimes leads to fuses. Also, the geometry of the angle where the fruit hits and how much they squeeze other fruits is a nuance that the clones don't have.

Just buy the real $3 game, it's cheaper than a Big Mac and it finally got an English patch recently.

I'm not that good, my high score is in the 2400 range but I've made a watermelon twice.

That's true, but also it serves as a demo of sorts.
