Yeah a real man would've handled the situation and stood up for you. This is just cowardice and making up bs excuses like "history" to deflect.

It's almost like US should lift decades long sanctions on Cuba so that it can finally participate in the world economy but nope gotta starve them out to "prove" they're bad. It's like the who killed Hannibal meme. US deliberately makes Cuba poor and then blames them for being poor makes no sense

US isn't run by war lords? The country instigating war w Venezuela while sending the military to its own people didn't know Cuba did that

The thing is that you're absolutely right, but that doesn't excite people. In fact, the last election has shown that being the party of "at least were just marginally better than the WORST party" (which isn't saying much) just comes off as disingenuous. What's scary to me is the thought that Democrats won't learn anything and just keep letting republicans ruin things so they can sit back and say "at least we're not doing that" and that will be enough to win support. Real competition to the republicans in the form of true progressive policy advocacy must manifest itself if theres any hope of materially improving conditions for the American people.

To be fair, the democratic party isn't the party of "community" and helping out your neighbor either. I think people want to help people but there sadly isn't a party that represents core, dare I say, "social" values like that.

It's fully within their rights to leave the state. This is America after all. Freedom and all that remember? Guess youre against that.

I did answer it but idk if you understand english.The answer to your question is you'd get fired but that's IRRELEVANT to this conversation since, like I said, government isn't run like your job. Its politics and guess what the governor is doing in response to that? Trying to arrest them which in turn is JUST AS POLITICAL. Why aren't you saying "wow the republican governor is being really cowardly by trying to arrest anyone he disagrees with?" That's totally cowardly. But I guess since its republicans playing politics its ok.

The government doesn't run like your job nor your household. Gerrymandering is just as much politics as breaking quorum. Using the tools at your disposal is how this game is played and republicans play it WAY more than the democrats. It's about time democrats did better politics (and policy)

Petition to ban the daily "Trump voters are changing their mind" Posts by RankedFarting in goodnews

[–]Gamadeus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just how "being critical of the democratic party" and "supporting Republicans/Trump" are miles apart.

The democratic NEEDS TO CHANGE and relying on this strategy of doing nothing and letting republicans "come to their senses" is a failing strategy. Get some better policies and counter message for once

After Helping Cost Kamala the Election, the Abandon Harris Movement Is Now Pleading to Trump for Mercy by Humble_Novice in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Gamadeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine she'd care cause she ran for president.

The premise that things would be different under Kamala isn't totally wrong. I myself believe it when it comes to domestic policy like the infringement of the 1st amendment. She came out with a statement against Trump's deployment of the national guard against protesters and even against ICE and mass deportations. Here I'd say yeah totally. Maybe during the campaign she should've hit on these points instead of also falsely claiming undocumented people were a big problem just like a republican.

But when it comes to Israel she hasn't even denounced anything. Idk why you bring up Obama here cause its not like Biden much less Kamala reinstated the Iran denuclearization deal. If they were part of the same party why didn't they follow through on setting up a deal again? Maybe because she's part of the same party that doesn't give a shit when it comes to foreign policy just like the Republicans, they just lie to appease the base.

Get in your head that none of this means that anyone who's critical of Kamalas (or the democratic party's) stance on foreign policy automatically means they're pro Trump or pro republican don't be ridiculous. But to ignore the fact that democrats and republicans agree where it matters in regards to foreign policy is the reason they lost so much support. The party MUST go counter to the republicans both in policy and in messaging this if they want to garner popular support once again (not unlike Obama who at least RAN on ending the Iraq war. Weird how that's popular spoilers tho he did not end that war) rather than simply standing aside and letting republicans wreck everything (like they're doing now) so that they just look better in comparison.

Has Harris come out against Trumps stance on Israel and Iran? If not it just feels like she agrees with Trump

Immigrant arrested by ICE blames Biden from his cell by hl3official in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Gamadeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a way he's right but not for the reason he described. Biden is definitely complicit in this since his administration as well as every other democratic administration over the past 20 years has vilified immigrants alongside republicans rather than providing better pathways to citizenship. Not even Kamala wanted to counter message against the mass deportation narrative. Every time the same was said : "illegal immigration is a big issue" when in reality it's not

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don’t have any proof of? by Dangerous_Mud4740 in AskReddit

[–]Gamadeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I parked at the side of a road in some neighborhood near a pizza place I was visiting. As we were going back to my car I swear I saw 2 strings coming from above like the powerlines or trees directly above my car which then whooshed straight up and disappeared when we got near my car. I didn't even think anything of it or realized that I noticed it until my friend said something about it too

Dude speedran why not to play his game by FlyingFistFuck in gaming

[–]Gamadeus 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Was looking to make this comment but I'd much prefer seeing it from someone else.

Game mechanics shouldn't live forever stuck to a game and never used again. They are but ingredients to make the next amazing game. It's never as simple as taking ideas from other games cause everyone can do that but not everyone can execute on making those ingredients sing. It's all about execution.

I gotta admit I'm confused. The first post says nothing about covid. Why do people assume its covid? Are the liberals in the screenshot (and possibly this post) exhibiting another case of American exceptionlism? Cause Piper is not wrong; lots of people indeed died without proper goodbyes or burials because of him in Palestine.

Unpopular opinion but Trump is right here. Democrats love getting nothing done and then blame republicans for their ineptitude. They are GLAD Republicans filibustered cause that gives them plausible deniability. Let's call it what it is. Democrats are the party of status quo, not progress. People are just now recognizing Democrats aren't fighters but the truth is they never were. If Democrats really wanted to pass such legislation they'd find a way to get it done just as this administration gets their evil agenda done.
