Both claims are debatable.

Do you think things won't get worse under trump? Or do you think some 50,000 dead a year is the worst Israel can do?

Kid, you should try reading things by actual, paid journalists, who aren't just contributors to free online "news" sources.

Or good books.

Lol, I keep joking to people that my side is dumb enough to believe the two are equal on that and every day one of y'all proves me right.

Vote Harris... Wait. Damnit.

I think you meant to respond to op, but I pretty much agree with what you wrote.

We can't even get more progressives than moderates/centrists to the Democratic primaries so I'd be pretty surprised to see even half that show up for something radical.

Exactly. Given that this election came down to what, a few dozen ballots, every little bit helped.

The NDP is one of the few incumbent governments that survived (barely!) an election after this bout of record inflation and whatnot. I don't think the tax cuts were ideal but people feel the pinch right now and if they hadn't offered them, I imagine Rustad would be digging us an even deeper hole.

It's the difference between being in a burning building and being the same burning building while people throwing Molotov cocktails through the windows.

Both are dangerous but one is worse.

No one can change everything but everyone can change something.

Ech, tonight sucks but please don't make lemmy suck too.

The fact that not one comment thus far has grappled with "we might just not be as popular as the republicans" is kind of telling.

We either write of slightly more than half the country or figure out a way to win them over.

(Admittedly, there's a slim chance where we rack up very specific sets of votes but I haven't seen anything to make that a reasonable bet.)

 
 

Please, put down the simultaneously plastic and rotten fruit this time, please?

 

Please let it be the right half.

 

Vote for the change you want to see.

The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can't happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.

If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we'd be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.

 

My elderly cat loves sitting on the computers, I think because they're warm. She's very obedient and leaves when asked but I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues and found something appropriate and warm for them to snooze on?

 

Such an unforced error and at a moment when trump was playing defense. Are we surprised that the President calling people who vote trump garbage would be a bigger deal than one trash comedian amidst a dozen or so speakers?

We keep shooting ourselves in the foot and it breaks my heart.

 
 
 

Just curious. If we're sharing the bed and I roll to not face her, my cat yells and marches over in front of whatever side I'm now facing and if there's not enough room, that's a problem for me to fix.

Just curious if this is standard cat behaviour or another adorably needy quirk of mine?

 

Title pretty much says it all. When I watched the Sadness I learned, much to my surprise, that I sort of have limits where the gore becomes a bit too much.

That being said, that movie was on another level of impressively realistic horribleness happening for about two straight hours. Terrifier seems more Western and classic blood and stuff but wondered if anyone had seen both and had thoughts?

 

Anyone else stoked for a 3 million dollar Myers?
