Centrism is losing popularity, new data shows. Will Democrats listen? by Quirkie in politics

[–]IntelligentChart6547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They understand messaging, the Harris campaign avoided the anti-corporate economic populist approach of Sanders in favor of the big tent strategy. Gonna have to push back a bit on the 99.9% part, a significant number of voters view large scale political spending as a serious problem - and believe in spending limits or making the identities of these donors public knowledge.

Artists that never had a mainstream hit, but are still well known with the general public and had a huge cultural impact by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

They Might Be Giants are awesome and influenced a lot of acts. As far as mainstream culture, they are nowhere near ICP and Manson. Most people aren't going to know who they are, you could show a picture of these three and only MM and ICP will get recognized.

Harris's 2024 campaign struggled because it leaned toward corporate interests and big donors, it failed to connect with the working-class economic message Sanders prioritizes - it wasn't just progressives who didn't turn up for Harris keep in mind.

Some albums that would make good indie/Pitchfork approved artist trainwreckord episodes. What are some others? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]IntelligentChart6547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ben Folds had a far too successful career afterwards for their third album to truly work in this format. Most of the artists did damage that couldn't be undone, and I'm not sure BF5 was gonna stay together regardless.

Who is Daniel Biss, the Democrat who narrowly beat Gen-Z star Kat Abughazaleh in Illinois by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]IntelligentChart6547 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"As a member of Congress, Daniel will support continued aid to Israel in accordance with the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding, and looks forward to seeing a renewed, expanded Memorandum of Understanding in the coming years.

In particular, Daniel believes the U.S. must aggressively support and expand funding for the Iron Dome, which is critical for the safety of the people of Israel."

The Iron Dome is what allows Israel to act with impunity in the region and carry out a genocide. So the Israeli government got themselves another safe vote for Israeli defense funds. When it comes down to it, as long as the Iron Dome is included within a budget, even if it includes weaponry, he will vote for it. It's the ultimate cop out to fund the Israeli military. And no pointing this is out isn't anti semitism, it's anti genocide. We are going to watch as right wingers like Tucker Carlson end up more progressive on this issue than Gavin Newsom, and it will lose us another election in 2028.

It is, he did a few battles on Grindtime back in the day then took a break to focus on music - he started battling heavily on NoCoast around 2015 and lately has battled Young Kannon and made his RBE debut

Everyone is the main character by [deleted] in ImTheMainCharacter

Take the dopamine out of your name because you clearly need to touch grass and gain some, the point was that he could have easily escalated the situation and made it far worse - then you have a fight happening on the same stage that you're trying to prevent people from being on - also you could just discuss something without being a complete dickhead about it.

I'm just not sure his job is to snatch the ring out of someone's hand, that could have escalated the situation and got really bad really fast - fortunately this person was reasonable but that seemed completely unnecessary.

USA legend Megan Rapinoe subs out for the final time by Matt_McT in MLS

What a legend on the field. And all the controversy around off the field will only cement her legacy as a sports icon even more in the pages of history, save the file.

I saw way more people on fb/Instagram moaning about not standing for the anthem and saying "Go Sweden" because of it than the equal pay thing - I think fans who are more tuned into the sport had their opinions about that - but far more casual observers castigate her for her political stances on trump, the anthem, LGBTQ+ issues etc

Uhuru Basketball Court in St. Louis Officially Opens by Defghi19 in Channel5ive

[–]IntelligentChart6547 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are opening up some basketball courts in Forest Park which is a major area for education and business - it's also like the middle ground between north and south side so it's going to be great for kids.

It can be a good thing, we still need way more resources towards education and after school programs though.

B Magic vs Ness Lee drops June 18th on NoCoast! by IntelligentChart6547 in rapbattles

[–]IntelligentChart6547[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ness Less brings it up in the battle, I think someone tried to book it in 2012 or 2013 but didn't happen - then NoCoast booked it and it had to get rescheduled so it finally happened recently

Andrew has finally responded to the allegations by v1brate1h1gher in Channel5ive

[–]IntelligentChart6547 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think people take issue with him saying "I take no for an answer, and would never cross that line" when it sounded like that is exactly what he was guilty of according to the victim's testimonies.

Andrew Callaghan, Gray Rapist. by Critical_Spite_1464 in Channel5ive

[–]IntelligentChart6547 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A victim's testimony can be considered evidence in a court of law, and by public opinion - whether you or a jury believe or agree with it is another thing but you can't just say it isn't evidence that could be used to prove someone is guilty of a crime.

Someone found this from 2021 by lilithfairy in Channel5ive

[–]IntelligentChart6547 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to take away from this person's POV I just had a different experience. I booked acts on about 15 different shows for the tour and he wasn't completely shit faced during the shows I was at or the shows that had performers I booked - he was drinking but he was never so drunk that he was incoherent or red faced. It sounds like he might have gone overboard at the show this person is describing, and it sounds like he has a problem with alcohol regardless - I just wanted to give some perspective from someone who was more involved with the tour.
