songs if they were good!

No that's who I mean. Labour won in Parliament by purging the left, and then just sitting there and letting the conservative party shit itself.

"hey twovests, look at this meme i f-"

"no thanks, i don't want second-hand algorithmic feed"

this is how you can be if you are willing to alienate people in your life

lmao i guess i can unsticky this since twovests manages all the code now and i don't know where they keep it or even if any modifications are being applied to vanilla postmill anymore

Asking genuinely-- who is Starmer? I tried googling it and only get the recent UK PM, who I figure isn't the same playbook.

In either case, I really still get the impression that she could've won over more support than she'd lose if she, e.g. just allowed the one Palestinian speaker at the DNC.

You'll have to ask /u/500poundsofnothing about that one

I suspect she's trying the Starmer playbook (which is the standard dem one). Just try to not say anything that gets you a negative news cycle and be the alternative while you let your opponent be horrible.

For this she needs to not piss off the big donors or corporate class, and they tend to be pro Zionism. The fact that most people aren't is one thing, but the fact that the news media, advertisers, and big donors tend to be means if she says she supports reigning in Israel's actions, that's gonna create a news cycle or risk turning off the donors.

This is the same reason dems never do good things. M4A is popular among the populace, but unpopular among the rich donors, and if they went for it their more conservative opponents would get the donations instead if them and then beat them.

They can see the act but only God can determine murder.

Yeah; I agree a lot with what Bernie has to say (and I wish we had gotten him in 2016 or 2020) but this is how I feel too. I don't think it's exaggeration to say that this election is existential for me personally, but even then, I couldn't vote for her. I ended up voting for Clauda de la Cruz as a protest vote.

I live in a normally-blue state that could feasibly swing red by the protest vote. If dems lose easy blue states to protest votes, maybe they'll start meeting voters where they're at, instead of bowing to AIPAC and evangelical Christians.

I can't stop thinking about how many votes Harries left on the table. We saw the Uncommitted National Movement do a huge amount of organizing during the primaries, mobilizing otherwise-unlikely voters in amazing numbers in swing states, preparing easy wins for Harris on a platter when she took the candidacy. She threw away hundreds of thousands of unlikely voters -- and likely the election -- because she loves genocide too much.

The "less genocide is still genocide" argument is reductionist but true. I think we're going to have four years of seeing what "more genocide" looks like. Even if the Dems go way left, the issue might be moot by 2028.

What about non Christian Deities?

its a good song

He's not wrong. Obviously trump is worse. We know this. But I'm not voting for genocide.

Fuck the democrats for playing chicken every four years with the presidency. Why are they engaging in this deeply unpopular war and then making it everyone else's fault when they lose? Fuck them.

Is it still hidden

I disagree

i mean i wasnt glued to whatsapp the entire time. but like, my understanding of the social contract around setting an appointment time is that saying "i'm free any time tomorrow" is yielding control of the appointment time to the other party. saying "what time is good for you?" is returning the ball back to me. ok. a little impolite to try and outpolite me imo. it's like saying "after you" when i'm already holding the door open for you. i offer a time and two hours later they say no let's do 2 pm. like just take my politeness! it's social lubricant! theyre de-lubricating my social encounter!

just_dode
