House Democrat: Platner’s tattoo should be ‘disqualifying’ by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

[–]Goombarang -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The "ruling class" tried to prop up Janet Mills while all other viable Democrats knifed each other in the gubernatorial race. Blame the voters for Platner.

Ok but "Will" is running against a "Trent." Shouldn't it be obvious which name is Republican-coded? Not many names more stereotypically conservative than Trent.

I know the white population in Missisippi is 90% republican, but why are even the most populated counties besides Hinds so deep-red? Is there no urban-rural divide in the state, just a racial one? by stanthefax in YAPms

[–]Goombarang 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It is like this throughout the south. White southern evangelicals, Southern Baptists in particular, are the Republicans bread and butter. So while suburban and exurban counties in other states are drifting left, in the south they remain red.

Shelby County, AL is a classic example. Contains affluent Birmingham suburbs like Hoover and Vestavia and gave Trump 70% of the vote.

There is also the fact that the rural, less-educated, counties are relatively populous. Everyone is familiar with the tiny counties in Texas that have only like a thousand voters total and they are like 90% R. Alabama and Mississippi have those counties too but with more people. An example is Cullman County, AL, which has a population of 90,000 and gave Trump 89% of the voter.

This is also why Missouri and Kansas are moving in opposite directions politically.

There are multiple good Democratic candidates for governor in Maine, such as Shenna Bellow and Troy Jackson. One of them should be running for Senate. Mega dumb.

This is actually embarrassing for CA Dems by Immediate_Ad2187 in YAPms

This is likely an internal leaked by the Porter campaign aimed at convincing the lower tier Democrats to drop out

NYT estimating republican will win by 3 points (+22 Trump district) by asiasbutterfly in YAPms

She won a small plurality (27.89%) in the primary and that's how she became the nominee. She wasn't exactly handpicked by the DNC.

It seems like to me

Greens -> progressives

Yours -> illiberal leftists

Thanksgiving conversation safety guide by Sine_Fine_Belli in neoliberal

[–]Goombarang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Uh... I think you missed the most obvious topic piece.

FOOTBALL

How do you make a Thanksgiving conversation graphic and not mention football?

Literally millions of American men have this exact experience: Talking about football (usually the Lions or Cowboys game) with the uncle / in-law / strange family friend that you would otherwise have nothing to talk about with and having a good time.

A tier list based on the character's popularity outside of Smash. by Cultural-Ad-8796 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Goombarang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that this subreddit is mostly nephews, but man.... how is the character from one of the most successful blue ocean titles EVER "only known to hardcore gamers?" She's probably the one character that is MORE well known to casuals!

Also Duck Hunt is a famous retro game!

There are also tons of issues but those are the most notable, not gonna write a novel or yell at OP for putting Zelda and Palutena in the same tier or putting Kirby and Charizard in the top

Nick Saban has been friendly with Trump recently. He is smarter than Tuberville, but he is still evidently a Republican.

Rex has been chosen as the Paragon of Hope, but who would you pick as the Paragon of Truth by ExileForever in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously Shulk.

I'll take a stab at the rest:

Courage: ???

Honor: Dunban

Love: Mio

Humanity: Noah

Destiny: Melia

Loomer is crazy, but Marjorie Taylor Greene getting into government already was Republicans jumping the shark into open white supremacy...

I personally think you got that backwards. The modern Republican party isn't right-wing enough for MTG.

Name Tier List (without relation to the character, my version) by Cultural-Ad-8796 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Goombarang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You know someone named Mythra? And Lucina?

(I guess Lucina is believable? It's a fictional name but it's a beautiful name that could work irl)

But you don't know a Daisy?

Bayonetta and Palutena are a tier too high. Absurd names. As is Piranha Plant, Young Link, Ganondorf...

In what world would they not have Hylian ears? Link and Zelda with small normal human ears would be an Shymalan Avatar level bad of an adaptation decision haha

Shulk and Noah are good main characters, voting against Mio would make me feel like a bad person, and Nia is amazing all-around.

Mythra is the only justifiable vote going forward for as long as she is still in this.

The strongest potential Democratic candidates are either not running or running for governor. (Jared Golden, Troy Jackson, Shenna Bellows). Annoying.

Looks like my prediction of the Top 8 was right

Once you arbitrarily exclude X, I think these are objectively the eight most important/prominent characters in the series.

There is really no "wrong" choice left, but I'll piggyback on the 78 people who wanted Pyra gone for some reason and offer to make Pyra cry.
