But she's right? I'm no fan of hers but this seems like an odd time to be dunking

[-] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

You haven't contended with reality. It wasn't dem inactions, it was DNC actions. I made a top level comment if you'd like evidence of that claim.

Yeah that's why I'm saying to vote down ballot. That will push back against the current trend more than either option for president.

The actions the democratic party has taken in the past few decades seem to be legitimizing the radicalization of the republican party that is inching the US towards a fascist state. You may be able to argue that's not their intention, but that doesn't change the results they're achieving. Whether they keep the ratchet locked with desire or ineptitude doesn't substantially change my argument.

Well the democrats seem to be either too weak or unwilling to release the lock on said ratchet, so take your pick. Either way we should still be trying to elect better people to the offices where we can actually make a difference.

Revolutions aren't successful unless they have some ties to those in power. So we need some comrades in office before making plans like that.

You could run for office

You ever hear of the ratchet effect? It only works that way when the 2 controlling parties have similar goals.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

Thanks for ignoring the second paragraph.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

a president can potentially pick several Supreme Court justices

Only if they have support from the senate.

Plus as the head of state, they are one of the biggest symbols of national identity.

Maybe they shouldn't be.

If low voter turnout is a problem, and they don’t want to vote for arguably the important role, why would they bother going out and queuing at all?

I'm arguing it's not the most important role and trying to get people to go vote even if they skip the president part of their ballot.

Don't vote for president if you don't want to, I get it. It's stupid we only have 2 options, especially when both are in mental decline and show little to no ambition to reduce needless deaths and suffering. Both want to move this country towards fascism, and both are creating a worse world they won't have to live in for much longer.

To those who see this and think I'm saying both sides are the same, I'm not. I'll probably vote for Biden in November because he's driving towards the cliff at a slower speed and at least does the bare minimum for marginalized in this country. Also Trump said some pretty racist shit last night. Still, to those who don't want to support either candidate for the reasons above, that's valid.

The point I'm getting to is VOTE DOWN BALLOT. Vote for your congress person and your senator, both federal and state. Vote for your city council and your sheriff and whatever bills there are and everything else. That's where the fight still matters. That's where you can make the most difference. The social justice you want to see won't get near the white house until it's represented in the lower offices. It doesn't matter who the president is if you get enough decent people in a position to stand in their way.

unnecessary addendumThat's the important bit but here's a some sort messages to a few blocks of voters. To Republicans and right wingers, you should reevaluate your positions because what you're supporting is stupid and selfish and often inhumane. To Democrats, if you get enough control over the house and senate it doesn't really matter if Trump is president, also recognize and correct the failures of your party please. To the leftists, please run for office and bring those ideas into the mainstream discussion, try to reach out to your community and to share rather than driving them away with self righteousness. Also, don't be bigoted, that goes for everyone.

Edit: I even said I was voting for Biden and the libs are still mad I think he sucks. Again, the point of this post is to get people to pay attention to the other things on their ballot. The president isn't as important or as powerful as we act like it is. And if you want better options, you have to support better options in races where they actually have a chance.

With most links it goes to the browser version which plays within Jerboa, but with YouTube video links it always takes me away to the YouTube app. Can it not do that please? Thanks

The snake (of the trouser variety) tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit (hanky panky) that she shares with Adam. The consequence of which is painful childbirth.

They're even specifically stated to be naked for this situation.

I'm an adult considering a change of career. I have no relevant education or experience. I'm at least an hour away from anywhere that could be considered a major city and would not like to move. My only requirements are that I am actively helping our ecosystem thrive and I'm not dirt poor. What's a position I could reasonably obtain?

My college roommate had this little box that had 2 controllers and RCA'd into the TV that contained basically every game from the most important retro consoles. All the important consoles and games pre y2k. Including Nintendo, Atari, Sega, and maybe some arcade. I assume I can't get it through normal channels because of some of those roms are unsanctioned, but where might I get something like that? Thanks!

You may have to click some of the toots to see replies I made that weren't directly replied to

When I lie, it's most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you're likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?

Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?
