The robot is "mansplaining", yes. The genderless algorithm is doing a male toxicity. 🤔
They get what they voted for, tragically, we also get what they voted for.
So, the gap is still largely about choice?
Crazy good
Just like Elon and his Full Self-Driving hoax.
Unironically sounds like communism, or more likely simply a Kleptocracy
Spot on, but even back then we'd have lamented the fact that we lost a hand crafted open world.
It's not irrelevant to say that on a national scale a straight dem socialist isn't gonna perform the same as in a nyc dem primary
Of course their ability to tell the difference between literal poison and a regular meal that is not what they wanted and might even have a side dish that they're allergic to is to blame. All none voters are partially responsible for Trump.
I'm a straight up progressive, and just because some politicians talked about not dying on a 80/20 doesn't mean liberals threw trans people under the bus. People didn't vote for Harris and instead the white supremacist won.
I think you're right on principal, everyone should do the moral and ethical thing. Sadly that's not realistic and I'm more annoyed with my fellow working class workers that don't do the thing that's in their own best interest.
Why should rich people who benefit from corruption put up a fight when regular voters who get disproportionately hurt by corruption don't fight? Working class voters need to wisen up and work together. I'm glad it has worked this time.
You know who really threw trans people under the bus? Leftists and progressives who didn't vote for Kamala Harris which gave us Trump and a Republican controlled Congress. You can't protect anyone without power. I'm so sick of people crying that Dems don't do enough while at the same time not voting
Missing a "," between Iran and people, but still clear because I didn't write Iranians. If you didn't assume the worst, it would be clear to you.
I don't think you have the ability to coherently formulate your stance in a way that doesn't seem contradictory with itself.
Can you literally point to me saying Iranian civilians deserve it, are less deserving or are the same as Iran's government. You can't, because I haven't. You're arguing with somebody in your head who doesn't exist.
So, the context includes Israel's attack, but according to you excludes everything Iran has done before? That seems intellectually dishonest, at best.
Wrong.
So, you're saying my opinion of Iran should be neutral because if the people living there that suffer under the human rights violations didn't like it, they'd do something about it? As I said, the need to be against Israel drives people to take some objectively wrong and unhinged stances.
Partially, yes. You think these things would have succeeded without people in power helping progress along? Mind you, I'm saying voting is the most important tool, not the only one. you're the one taking a strange "voting does nothing but does something but actually isn't important"stance
Unless you're advocating for violence, voting is the most effective means of creating meaningful and long lasting change. Of course the demonstrations are also helpful. But at this point I'm not even sure what you're saying. You just want more to happen faster without acknowledging the source
First we'd have to establish the full context, because honestly I don't think I even have it all. You however choose to simply attack me for stances I've not even taken.
There is no obligation to support Iran, an objectively terrible government either, simply for attacking Israel, who are also doing objectively terrible things. That's the my point and the essence of Kat's post. Terrible governments doing terrible things and civilians dying.
I know America would not be as far on the path to fascism as it is now if the Dems would have won, that's an objective fact. Do I think simply re-electing the same old corpo Dems that would rather die in the office than oppose Trump is all that needs to be done? Of course not, but that's step two.
You're arguing with a straw man, not with me. Kindly do that by yourself and leave the real me out of it.
I hope you learn from this. My opinion is close to Kat's original post. I'm against Israel lobbing rockets into Iran, I'm against Iran lobbing rockets at a city. I'm against civilians dying because their authoritarian governments have decided to kill people. So you are flat out wrong.
Fuck me indeed if I thought cheering for the death of civilians. Luckily, I'm not. I'm saying the hate in these comments and the gleeful cheering at Israelis dying is unhinged. People may have justified beef with Israel, but that makes a poor justification when cheering for Iran.
I think people are projecting a lot. I'm simply stating that the overwhelmingly negative reaction to "Killing civilians bad, in Iran and Israel" is drawing such a strong one sided pushback is unhinged. Every other pro Israel stance you ascribe to that is you projecting.
Sorry you are blind 🦮
So you do admit that democrats are objectively better than Republicans and that it would have been far superior to elect them. We agree 💯
I'm neither crying, nor am I saying a nation doesn't have the right to defend themselves. I've taken issue with people on bluesky who are attacking people because they condemn civilians dying. You project so much garbage on to people that has no relation to what they wrote.
Unhinged take and has no relation to what I said.
So you are saying Dems and Republicans are literally the same? You're saying Harris would have created the economic chaos, sent soldiers to LA, hyperactivated ICE and thrown a military parade? Let Elon cut USAID?
Voting for Democrats is a shorthand for: Vote blue no matter who in the general. Vote every chance you get. Vote in the primary, vote for the candidate you like in the primary. Keep voting. Motivate others to vote. If more people had voted dem, the world would be in this mess.
Imagine being so far up the Israel hate ladder you start defending Iran. Iran people. They are regressive, religious, totalitarian state. The comments on this are unhinged. Being against civilians getting killed is now bad on bluesky, if those civilians are located in Israel. Unhinged.
You are absolutely right. Not all ideas or opinions have worth, some are just garbage, or evil. Not only is it impossible to separate the person from their views, most of the time when you engage them on the idea level you find out it's all based on their feelings anyway.Debating them is worthless
You know who really threw trans people under the bus? Trump voters and non-voters.
I mean, is there anything wrong about what he says? Why burn the cars of some random people that now have to deal with their fucking cars being on fire. Random destruction of private property isn't fighting Trump. Fighting Trump is fighting Trump.
I don't support genocide, sadly as you rightfully point out there are democrats that did and do support Israel. But supporting Dems over Repubs to avoid the harm Republicans are doing does not equal supporting a genocide. Make choices, or live with the ones others make for you.
1. you don't know who yelled at you to stop, but I certainly do raise an eyebrow at people that harp on democrats nonstop when it's the one viable alternativ to republicans that does have members calling it a genocide. 2. I will always choose the better option, because that's the responsible thing
It's utter idiocy to call people genocide supporters for supporting the objectively better choice in a first past the post electoral system. Not voting for the lesser evil is literally being okay with either option.
Which makes perfect sense of course. These people never fantasized about rising up against an armed and militant state, much too moral. Only against unarmed and defenseless civilians and bureaucrats, that dared to live in an ethical and social society.
Well, we agree on the second part. America actively chose Trump, people around the world didn't though, Palestinians didn't. Both sides ism and "lesser evil is not good enough" people rub me the wrong way, as they are like the 1/3 of people who didn't vote and thus signaled "I'm okay with Trump"
If you have the choice between one person actively supporting a genocide and one person begrudgingly allowing a genocide to take place saying "Both are literally the same" is "not the win you think it is"
Would she have sent the bigger bombs, because Trump did.
They can not impeache Trump because America decided to give Trump a majority. Encouraging boycotting would be shaping opinion. The house and Jeffries did not vote for the dirty CR (unlike Schumer). I think Jeffries is boring, but blaming him for not stopping Trump is dumb. America voted for this.
PoC voted for a man supported and surrounded by white supremacists. Those people are now enacting their agenda. One can only hope the voters will learn.
I feel like there has never been a computer more 1980s "computer-y" looking than this Canon AS-100 system This machine from 1982 machine ran MS-DOS on an 8088 with 128K of RAM but was not fully IBM PC compatible. Yes, those are twin 8" floppy drives! www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/ar...
The people, his direct constituents picked him directly, everyone else with a Dem senator picked him indirectly by having their representative pick him as minority leader. I'm putting blame on the voters and non-voters because we rightfully complain about terrible leaders, but who put them there?
Wrong. A weak defeatist attitude, don't know why you get angry at weak leaders, you're right in line with them.
They will though. The idea that they won't is Q anon levels of stupid.
Not during the primary, I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. On the topic you spoke off, yes that is blatant voter suppression intentionally done by republicans. But if you want your leaders to fight, the least you can do is vote!
But in the end, leaders ARE selected by the people, and while the things you named are factors, they shouldn't be used as an excuse. You want stronger leaders, fighters? Show up to the primary and vote for them.
Leaders are selected by the people, without fixing them America will continue down the current path.
We ended up in the trashy timeline were people kept buying products with fewer and fewer ports.
Given the visceral hatred Republicans have for unions, (which of course they do, after all unions help everyone) and the very positive response to this poll makes me think that either the people participating are very left leaning or the most important question wasn't asked: Would you pay union dues
I don't understand why people get so agitated everytime we talk about outlawing lying on the news. Whatever consequences it might have, surely the fact that politicians blatantly lie to the public on the news is worse.
While I feel uncomfortable cheering for bad things to happen, I think they are a massive opportunity for Dems. They should go all in on finally reversing the general sentiment that Repubs are good for the economy, which is nothing but a myth. reviewdiv.com/economists-w...
I haven't posted a computer in a while so here's a quick luggable computer that I think is pretty cool. Here is the Morrow MD3P Micro Decision Portable. This is a CP/M based computer with an interesting 9" x 5" amber CRT screen. I'm a fan of amber screens and this one being slim is very clear.
Also, centrist is the wrong word, it implies that they're somehow dedicated to staying in the middle. In reality they simply don't think deeply / care about these issues. You can complain about this reality, but that won't change it. Adjust your behavior or keep losing elections.
The sad reality is that people in the middle apply different rules to both sides. They connect the most fringe left-wing views to Dems while they don't do that for Repubs. Repubs are used to placating their fringe while publicly distancing themselves. Dems don't do this, we're too honest.
My cat's name is also pepper and I know that face 🤣
It's not your responsibility to break the law, calm it with the straw man, my arguments are all in good faith. Lawsuits are being filed, they take time. Neither Jeffries nor Schumer are governor's and Dem governor's are showing their teeth. There hasn't been anything to filibuster yet.

I feel like you are misunderstanding me on a fundamental level. I'm not defending bad Dem politicians, I'm saying if you want to see change you need to vote for it. Is your representative doing the things you want? No? Primary them. Complaining into the void for somebody to do something won't work
I see you're one of those eternal complainers that comes up with impossible plans and feels justified in doing nothing because nobody is executing those impossible plans. I wish my fellow lefties would work as hard on election leftist politicians as they work on defeating themselves.
Stating facts isn't fighting for anyone, unless you mean I'm on the side of reality and you're on the side of fantasy.
Dems have no legitimate way of actually doing something. Republicans are in power because they won the election. I know most people here voted for Democrats and feel absolved of their responsibility, but who do you think elected these terrible Dem leaders? Show up to the primaries next time.
You are literally saying Harris was just as bad as Trump? Aight, guess literally everything you say can be safely disregard because your ability to judge a situation with ample information is completely compromised.
If you need to be wowed and wooed to vote for the obvious choice, to do your civil duty, you are the problem. Democrats have made a lot of mistakes, but let's not act as if 2/3 of people aren't fundamentally wrong in the head.

I wish I could post from this machine instead of my normal computer....or at least build a modern one inside a shell like this.
