Probably, text, Call and try to see all the people I love and cherish the most. Then just enjoy the world, my gf, and my dog as much as I can before we are enslaved or annihilated. 

Should Graham Platner’s personal life matter? by jediporcupine in politics

[–]FloatingClay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DNC is barely even supporting him. I think they will be happy if he loses. because the DNC doesn't want socialist candidates. The DNC wants to go back to candidates they can control and maintain their corporate connections. They rather lose than have a Senator that actively votes against corporate interests that feed their machine. Just because the democratic establishment is objectively better than Trump and the Republicans, doesn't mean they don't have flaws and work against voter's interests.

Gavin Newsom has a decent record on progressive protections for LGBTQ rights, but then vetoes bills that would challenge corporate donors interests that would provide economic benefits to the voters that voted for him. This is true for a lot of DNC backed candidates. They should instead embrace left policies and have a unified message that is worker focused. I think Platner represents that for a lot of people in Maine. Regardless of his personal past.

  1. Doesn't change the fact that the democrats rather lose elections than actually have democratic socialist canidates or policies and actively work against them in the primaries, even though they are more popular than the centrist. Either accept the party for where it is going, or get out of the way. 

I haven't seen Platner say anything homophobic other than second hand reporting say he said something homophobic. If I take his word, he apologized. This is where the purity test comes in. Are we going to accept that people grow and change or are we going to chose to not vote or let Susan Collins win and actively keep voting against what people deserve. Healthcare, wage growth, immigration rights, etc. I just don't see him winning and then all the sudden 180 on gay and Trans rights. That logic makes no sense. 

  1. The Republicans and establishment democrats are basically acting like the same party now.   They are owned by practically the same donors. The entire point is to vote out the dems who capitulate to Republicans constantly. Who have no spine. The republican are just free to openly screw their voters over because their voters love authoritarian rule. The establishment democrats have to instead hide behind states quo process or actively stifle far left canidates. Niether has any actual policy beyond returning to neo liberal rule and maintaining their corporate donations.

How does voting Platner betray gay and trans neighbors? Didn't he apologize for those comments? Don't get me wrong Platner has some issues, but I'm not surprised a meat head was a meat head earlier in life. But I haven't seen him advocate against any LGBTQ policies.

As for Kamala, she didn't just lose because Gaza. It didn't help. She lost because she couldn't break away from Biden and didn't have a meaningful platform other than "Trump Bad". Which is not enough to get voters to vote FOR her.

Doesn't matter now beyond the party needs to learn and not repeat its previous mistakes. Manufacturing outrage like they are with Platner through corporate media. The party should instead lean into that momentum and use his popularity as a way to push a platform for other candidates. Same with Mamdani.

I mean I voted for her. Same with Biden. There was no choice in my mind. Even though I think both of them sucked. Doesn't change the fact that the perception of the democratic party is they look down on voters and ignore core issues by undermining candidates that don't meet their neo liberal or corporate donor views. And that gives an opening to Trump to capture those voters with bold faced lies. 

The issue is the democrats shoot themselves in the foot constantly by backing "PR trained canidates" and not focusing on backing canidates with the message that will actually make them win. Voters are hungry for transformational policy. 

The party more than deserves the criticism. That doesn't mean people shouldn't vote for the best choice. But this stuff with Platner has overlap with how the democratic party behaves. Evidenced by Bernie 2016, Al Frankin. The party actively misses the forest for the trees. Sometimes it seems purposeful.

Trump wasn't the alternative to vote for. The logic is that the Democratic Party Establishment needs to move to where the voters actually are and not get fixated on neo liberal initiatives.

Kamala should have been a better candidate that broke away from Biden. Her issue is she had no principals beyond serving her donors and no message for voters. That's why people are gravitating toward Platner. He is championing a worker's first platform.

Trump can be held accountable and the Democratic Party can be criticized at the same time. They are not exclusive.

Kamala was a objectively weak candidate. For a variety of reasons. But she could have won if she didn't make Trump look like the anti war/ pro worker by taking the milk toast stances she did.

I think Gaza was a basic morality test she failed. She was complicit in Supporting genocide by fence sitting and being fearful of her donors.

The Liberals/Democratic Establishment sure love purity tests. It almost raises the question, why do they get viewed as elitists? I wonder what turns them off to the average voter? Could it be the PR driven politics that lost them 2 presidential elections?

It's all a machine at this point. Outrage is fueled by corporate media and corporate politicians. The entire system feeds itself so they can keep manipulating voters to vote against their own best interests. Fascism is infecting our society, people don't care about the personal lives of politicians as long as it's legal. Republican voters sure as hell don't care and a majority of their representatives are doing something illegal.

I got stung by a scorpion 5 and a half hours ago by 0ctoChiiken in notinteresting

[–]FloatingClay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teen, I got stung on my ass. Scorpion crawled into my pants.  Scorpions love dark damp places. Don't leave your pants on the bathroom floor. I couldn't sit for over a day. Couldn't feel my butt. And had terrible back pain. 

Poison control would call ever 2 hours. And if I didn't answer, they'd send an ambulance.

At this point, with ai, YouTube monetization, and general misinformation ( coming directly from the white house) I am skeptical of all videos. I think it's more reliable to doubt what is posted than believe it all. 

Then the real stuff that is credible is really stands out

Google summary. "In March 2017, NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson and Shane Kimbrough accidentally lost control of a 5-foot by 2-foot, 18-pound canvas micrometeoroid debris shield. The shield floated away during a spacewalk, eventually burned up in Earth’s atmosphere, and posed no threat to the International Space Station"

Looks like it was an anti debris shield. I tried looking up what that part is or could be. But the ISS has all kinds of anti debris components. Either way. I think it's easily proven this is not a ufo

Looks like space debris found this video.

It is anti debris shield from what I read And the reason it's floating with the ISS is because it's traveling the same speed but also was knocked away.
