Had to look that up too. My immediate reaction was wondering if Thalasin works for them too?

That’s literally exactly what I said.

Geez, you make some good posts sometimes but interacting with you is a really horrible experience every time. So needlessly hostile.

I said that the DNC should run someone who is more charismatic and younger so that they could more easily beat Trump. Where are you getting the dictator garbage?

You clearly didn’t read what I wrote, but you sure took the time to start talking some more.

The only reason to blindly insist on Biden as the only possible nominee, a bad-mouth someone who discusses an alternative approach, is if you want Trump to win.

The only reason to vote for Biden at this point is anti-Trump and Blue No Matter Who. Those still apply to anyone else that the DNC puts forward, as a base score, with any actual merits, charisma, or vigor adding to that. This should have been an easy decision six months ago and doing-nothing-and-hoping-for-the-best doesn’t seem to be making the prospects any better.

No, the immediate problem is that we know that people make decisions based on a vibe and who orates better and (out of all of the qualified people in the country) we still hang our hat (and the future of the country) on a poor orator with a bad vibe. It’s 2016 all over again and it seems like nobody’s learned a thing.

This shouldn’t be a hard race at all. Why are we insisting on handicapping ourselves like this?

E2EE is not part of the standard and only exists as a proprietary Google extension, using Google’s servers. Implying that implementing RCS would get everyone cross-platform E2EE is misinformation.

No they don’t (well… they do, but not for this). Bump stocks are a stupid gimmick that were only ever banned in the first place to appease low-information hysterical types.

It’s another tool for the toolbox. How can being more prepared with a more diverse set of tools be bad for any situation? Right now the only tool seems to be posting outraged comments on the internet.

Oh yay! Biden is on the same side as Putin and Xi, in disagreement with the rest of the world.

Not quite the win I think you’re going for there.

Nitrogen hypoxia sounds like one of the best ways to die, without pain or panic, but I completely understand why no company wants to be the supplier of the means of executing people. Small volume, small profits, extreme controversy. What’s to want there?

Meanwhile, Biden pisses away his domestic support by propping up this Nazi clown. I’m starting to think Netanyahu wants Trump and the DNC is going to deliver him on a silver platter.

Yes. I’m a man of few words.

I’m too cynical, I guess, but I’m sure the ’hot mic’ incident wasn’t an accident. But either way, is a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting more or less serious than a ‘sternly phrased letter’?

Are we still sending Israel the weapons that are being used to carry out this genocide?

Edit: I read the article (ugh, sky is shite. That’s minutes of my life I won’t get back.) and admit that the headline was bullshit. I’m ashamed that I fell for it.

Not to defend this guy, or even police in general (ACAB), but the sheriff or chief of police is supposed to be more of a political position that decides where to allocate resources and how to prioritize the needs of the community. Since that involves discerning the will of the people, it makes sense that the people should decide who fills the role and get to continually reevaluate it. The alternative is that another politician just appoints someone into the role, which has most of the same downsides while also being undemocratic.

That’s just theory, of course, and not even considering how messed up the whole election process really is.

Sure, but this is part of the process. If we don’t call them out, they assume that everything is peachy and the status quo is their mandate. I’ll admit it’s inflammatory and over the top, but it’s sort of catchy.

You’re admitting you’ve done nothing, yet you have the audacity to ask me to quantify what I’ve done. I’m very politically active, but I’m not going to go into the details here. I don’t live on this site and don’t want to spend more time than I already have arguing with randos with weird agendas.

lol, it’s nothing but moving goalposts with you, is it?

Your daughter’s life doesn’t mean enough to you to help me get an electable candidate through the primaries. When she asks you what you did to save her, you can say you argued with people on the internet. Sleep with that on your conscience.
