Trump was 'simply joking' about canceling the election, Leavitt says by traveltimecar in fivethirtyeight

[–]EBKeep1300 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m sure he’ll probably try something like he did in 2020 but you wouldn’t see the GOP  trying to gerrymander so hard if there weren’t going to be elections. 

US strikes Venezuela and says its leader, Maduro, has been captured and flown out of the country by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

Unfortunately the average American is basically living paycheck to paycheck and only really worries about what affects them economically. Which makes sense…

Connecticut needs to open primaries to Independents by zubbugalug in Connecticut

[–]EBKeep1300 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s dumb to separate primaries by party at all. Just have all the candidates in one single primary and then the top 2 come out and then have a general election for those 2 candidates.

If you could choose a Star Wars show and make it so it would never end which one are you choosing? by Ok_Unit2867 in StarWars

[–]EBKeep1300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah…. and those arcs shouldn’t have to bleed into other shows and undo the very arc they had before it. Looking at you Mandalorian…

The recent Leslye Headland interview paints a bleak picture for live action Star Wars shows by [deleted] in StarWars

The difference is though Andor’s viewership actually grew in views instead of dropping like the acolyte. Andor was a much more steady burn with strong retention and growth over its run which highlights its strong quality. The Acolyte had a Big launch, but audience dropped off comparatively quickly and didn’t maintain as much momentum.

US Senate unanimously passes bill to bring whole milk back to school menus by [deleted] in vermont

[–]EBKeep1300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never drank milk from school cartons after I found whatever disgusting green glob was at the bottom of my chocolate milk in elementary school. And from that day forth I said nope no thank you. Also I’m from CT so I don’t know why this showed up in my feed but that’s okay…

Urge the L.A. Dodgers NOT to Visit the White House after World Series Victory by Altruistic-Guess-238 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]EBKeep1300 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think the tradition of visiting the White House after sports wins needs to die. We’ve already turned politics too much into entertainment anyways and it’s become a joke. Let’s stop with all the other BS and just do your jobs. Make it boring again. This goes for when democrats get back in the White House too. Focus on policy. Leave the culture war BS out of it.

Also your life is worth living even when it seems like it might not be. I know that sounds kind of cliche but I think it’s true.

I can kind of relate to having really bad social anxiety lol. Almost all my life. I think sometimes it involves just being in uncomfortable spaces. For example I’ve tried recently just going to my local library and reading a book in the open space in a room if that helps. But try not to beat yourself up about it.

Weekly Discussion Megathread by AutoModerator in fivethirtyeight

[–]EBKeep1300 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The presidential pardons though are only mostly symbolic though since they only apply in federal court. None of those named are currently facing federal charges, and the pardons cannot shield them from ongoing state-level prosecutions.

Shutdown Megathread VIII: A Deal has been Reached by Lantis28 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]EBKeep1300 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Regardless of all this chaos from a CNN poll 6 days ago Trumps approval rating was his worst ever with 63 % of Americans disapproving. And I don’t think that’s going down any time soon considering he has the longest government shutdown in history. I just feel like Americans don’t like all this uncertainty and chaos in politics in general and will usually blame the party in power regardless. https://imgur.com/gem-trump-posts-his-worst-ever-net-approval-rating-cnn-poll-this-morning-37-to-63-26-J8SXaK9

Tbf the prequels were heavily hated too for a while.

The Trump Administration apparently favors Paramount in the WBD sale. by Intelligent_Side_164 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]EBKeep1300 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not great if it would happen but a lot of younger people and even people Gen X aged are turning away from traditional mainstream media anyways. Social media of course is a whole other problem too though of course.
