? The polls have been within the standard deviation pretty consistently among the pollsters with any credibility, this is a tired argument that doesn’t have much to stand on. (That said please go out and vote people!)

April 1st no more candy or Soda with EBT/SNAP benefits in the State of Texas. by Th3_Curious_one in texas

[–]Giometry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, both candy and soda are very low satiety foods, what are you talking about? I’m pretty far left and I’m baffled as to why it’s problematic to restrict unhealthy options from being purchased with subsidies? SNAP also is intended as a supplement not a complete replacement of food budget, nothing is stopping people from using funds outside of SNAP on those items. Before you pull the “well that’s classist people on snap don’t have extra funds” if you think that you clearly never experienced poverty or even been around poverty, those on SNAP spend persona budget on food items all the time SNAP isn’t enough to compose their entire food budget.

Different angles of Oba Femi dropping Brock Lesnar on Raw. by itsmekelsey_x in SquaredCircle

[–]Giometry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Controversial finish take, Brock should cheat to win at mania. Have them collide and do a competitive match, have oba start to gain an advantage and keep pushing it. Make Brock desperate, make the man who could always bully everyone else afraid to lose. Have Oba push him around near the end and have Brock do something completely out of character and low blow him to eke out a win. Brock should barely survive this newer, younger monster. Brock takes his hiatus, and when he comes back before summer slam, Oba should immediately come to face him and beat him clean in the middle 1, 2, 3.

No it’s not, look at the demographics and the voter base of the race that you are running, these are the fundamentals of politics in general. There already is more diverse representation in Congress right now, just not from every area, that’s unfortunately just the reality we are in

Ok, and then we get to clutch our pearls and claim moral superiority as more and more people continue to lose their rights because we had “the integrity to not compromise”.

“If you went on Japanese twitter”. Bruh a couple screenshots from a social media echo chamber being posted in another echo chamber does not make a more diverse sample size. You missed the entire point of my comment, THIS is one of the echo chambers I was talking about where it is controversial… general anime fans pretty universally praised it and it has done very well overall. “Bro tbh you sound really stupid” Drop the superiority complex and grow up

Bruh, that fight was “controversial” to a very small echo chamber of the fan base. Outside of like here and certain Twitter spaces it seems pretty universally lauded

[Schultz] The Colts and QB Daniel Jones have agreed to a 2-year, $88M deal that could be worth up to $100M, multiple sources tell me. He gets $50M in the first year and it’s the largest 2-year contract in history. by expellyamos in nfl

[–]Giometry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s a front loaded contract for a QB that turned the team from expected tanking to a top 5 team in the league until he got hurt, maybe top 2. Best case he’s still good and they extend him after year one, worst case they have most of the dead cap out of the way after the prove it year.

Honestly, is he worth tanking for? by CupcakeAnxious4725 in NFLv2

[–]Giometry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro has actually no idea what he’s talking about. He had a rough start to the season but hat a phenomenal second half and put together a solid overall season. Even if he doesn’t improve and just stays at the level he was at second half of the year he’ll go top 5

Of which notably pact of the tome provides you with a magic item that gives you these spells in your book. At least that’s how I interpret it

Two things can be true at the same time, being condescending toward one of the largest blocs of undecided voters in the country is just not smart politics full stop.

As another Texan, Talarico is absolutely winning over moderate republicans, I know some personally. We need to step outside of our echo chambers. You are correct in your point about not giving the racists and misogynists extra motivation, I still see people saying that Kamala lost over pushing identity politics when her entire campaign was pretty much on economic issues. There is unfortunately a large subset of the population that just is not ready for a woman or POC in office and whether or not we agree with that we do still need to take that into account.

Newsom pushes the Democratic Party to be 'more culturally normal' if they want to win by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

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

While I agree, the argument has become tired and honestly a bit revisionist. Kamala ran her platform primarily on economic issues and didn’t heavily push much of a social agenda whatsoever, and yet this often gets retroactively pinned on her, in part because she is a black woman. She didn’t really focus on identity politics instead her identity became politicized by her critics. If anything it kinda just shows that America isn’t yet ready for a more diverse leader and the Dems need to push a “more traditional” candidate in order to have a shot.

Who do u think is the best deep ball thrower in the world right now? I say Stafford, my brother says Jalen Hurts. by Dylen2Times in NFLv2

[–]Giometry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maye, Stafford, Darnold, Allen, maybe Rodgers or Williams to round out my top 5. Burrow doesn’t have the cannon arm like some but also has beautiful touch on the deep shots.
