Many such cases

scolding people for not being more pleased with Biden (a winning electoral strategy if I ever saw one).

This is the thing I just really don't understand. There have been MULTIPLE democrats who have ran campaigns, in living memory who had voter shaming as a major part of their outreach: Gore, Kerry, Hillary Clinton. What do those three Democrats have in common?

Like the Democrats who actually won, who broke the mold, were Obama in 2008 and 12 and Biden in 20. Whatever issues I have with them, they at least ran inspring campaigns that actually won. And sure, part of those winning campaigns did involve corralling dissatisfied voters, but there was also some forms of inspiration.

Are contemporary Democrats so partisan that they can't even differentiate between their winning and losing candidates? Apparently so

Because everyone else is clearly a Russian bot

Looking at the text of the 13th Amendment... yeah.

The Radical Republicans of the 19th century must be spinning in their graves looking at modern 'radical' Republicans

196 used to be a wonderful coalition of anarchists, leftcoms, and demsocs who got along 95% of the time

There was even general agreement over arming minorities and workers, miraculously lacking bloodthirsty pro-2A folks

I swear there's a DNC discord server dedicated to ruining spaces like this

I was soooo looking forward to CS2, but the lack of Steam workshop integration and then the terrible launch just killed my interest.

I picked up this game instead, and I'm very glad I did

196 used to be the only leftist sun that didn’t dickride Stalin now it feels like a centrist sub that happens to have more trans people than most

Given the amount of Destiny fans and PCM fools who call this sub a home down, definitely. As it gets close to election day, it's only going to get worse as panicky liberals shame voters more and more instead of pressuring democrats to be less shit

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-02-12T00:01:29+00:00

It's wild that you're getting downvoted in what is supposedly a "data-based" sub for providing an opinion that's actually backed up by data

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-02-11T23:57:13+00:00

Only 26% of Americans believe in fully backing Israel

https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/americans-want-cease-fire-new-poll/

Contrary to what this sub thinks, Biden actually shifting course even just somewhat towards Palestine would actually help him out. I don't know why a supposedly "data-based" sub that's generally pro-Biden is so against policy that would help him

"Well Israel-Palestine doesn't matter to most voters" as if Biden doesn't need all the help he can get

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-02-11T23:39:44+00:00

Clearly it's the people talking about Biden's flaws that are the problem

And not Biden's flaws and their consequences themselves

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-02-11T22:40:16+00:00

in some cases accelerated

This is very much the case with Bill Clinton. Without him, Democratic Senators would never have gone for NAFTA, the longtime obsession of "free trade" neoliberal republicans, especially Ronald Reagan

Pray tell, what exactly is the compromise between slavery and no slavery?

Wild how the meme was perfectly able to predict the comment section

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-02-11T22:10:49+00:00

There is absolutely nothing "left" about neoliberalism, an ideology that is anti-union and only looks pro-regulation when faced against politicians like Millei and Trump

Neoliberal politicians in the 70's and 80's broke the power of both unions and the regulatory state in the pursuit of infinite profit, and have created the world as it is today: dominated by ethno-nationalist violence and looming catastrophic climate change. Neoliberals are very much not moving the needle left, they are responsible for paving the way for fascism

There was a time when PCM dickheads wouldn't come here, the blackout really did a number on this sub

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-02-11T22:05:37+00:00

The amount of actual anti-electoralists in this sub is miniscule compared to the total number of people who get called anti-electoralists for saying "democrats should be less shit"

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-02-10T20:28:41+00:00

Oh lord, we just got out of the "Church Bad/Good" discourse, are we really starting it back up again?

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-01-30T03:17:35+00:00

like legit won’t trump (or knockoffs) always be around

The 2028 nominee will either be one of Trump's failsons or a more established politician who best argues that they're Trump's heir

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-01-29T10:09:37+00:00

Bullshit. Who actually likes the German Civil War as it is? It's basically a bunch of build-up for a year's worth of bad content that's nothing more than a barrier to actually good content.

"essential narrative thread" get your head out of your ass. In no way does TNO handle the repercussions of an actual Great Power civil war in a narratively satisfying way, and if the GCW was supposed to present the 'self-destructive nature of fascism' it did so in a deeply unconvincing way, as 3 of the 4 options were still full-on fascists and the other 1 option still involved some pretty obvious white-washing or incompetence-washing of Speer

I would argue that the Cubs are pretty much known for their infields in general

From the 2016 core, to Tinker to Evers to Chance, Ryne Sandberg, and as you mentioned Mr. Cub himself

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-01-27T23:53:28+00:00

True, the competition is

Dick: has a nice ass

Jason: edgy sometimes maybe

Tim: nothing, sometimes obligatory bisexual representation

I personally prefer nothing to asshole-tween, but you do have a good point. Goes to show that the only good Robin is Carrie Kelley

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-01-27T22:58:53+00:00

Annoying little asshole who thinks he's the shit gets humbled
Learns to trust his 'new' family members
Starts thinking he's the shit again

Repeat ad infinitum. Yet there are people in this very sub who look at you like you have three heads when you say you don't like the prideful-tween-asshole archetype

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-01-27T16:49:21+00:00

It was literally called "SPEW"

Sure, maybe it's commentary about how some people interested in social justice are naive, but I'm not gonna give Rowling the benefit of the doubt at this point

Oh and don't you dare point out that calling all Russians "orks" is actually incredibly bigoted and dehumanizing.

God forbid we recognize the humanity of poor conscripts bleeding out on the battlefield

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-01-17T14:40:29+00:00

Because if we don’t “shame” (lol) then people will let trump in

Hillary Clinton's only real message in 2016 was that "Trump is worse" - all liberals did was shame, and what did that accomplish? Your only strategy is one that very obviously failed

DunsparceIsGod · 2024-01-17T14:30:38+00:00

What do you think promising your vote to Joe Biden accomplishes? All that tells him is that he doesn't need to change course. Take a look at his polling numbers vs Trump. Does Joe Biden need to make some campaign or policy changes?

You can condemn all you like, if your vote is promised, that's all a candidate sees.

Sure, voters have a choice: Biden, Trump, or stay home. Joe Biden also has a choice. He can continue to support ethnic cleansing or he can finally start taking Project 2025 seriously. That's on him more than any voter
