as someone who believes you have many good qualities, i will join you in this

"Don't talk to your mother that way" is a classic

Some alternate realities we could have been living in:

NOV 2 - 11AM ET
BERNIE                       JEB!

Oh my goodness, yes! That is it. "Cos=adjacent" and "Tan=opposite" were so long that they broke the line haha

how did you get line breaks in your titles?? this changes everything

songs if they were good!

"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

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.

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.

this seems a lot worse for having had taken place over two and a half hours

this is smart and true. they killed socrates to make way for you

you gotta do it at least three times a day

That is good to hear. About the dubs, that is, not the inexorability of the youth of Japan today eventually showing their kids Toy Story 13 in the future.

Yeah, I see this less as "character development" and more "you too can do a lot of work if you get thrust into a really scary and difficult situation". Which is a reaffirming message for me, as a 360 month old baby,
