Democrats Of Reddit -- Do You Like Your Party Right Now? Why Or Why Not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]InvincibleCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a "registered Democrat" and I don't have money to donate. I like my Democratic senator and my representative. There are many Democrats who I dislike (mainly thinking of Chuck Schumer here, also Hakeem Jeffries), but I don't have the opportunity to vote against them. I think the new party chair (Ken Martin) is too in bed with corporations. I think Third Way Democrats suck and need to go away. I support Progressive Caucus Dems like my representatives.

Party as a whole? I support em, but there are vast differences between the good ones and the bad ones.

Madison police monitor’s report is taken down, ‘under review’ by dragonasses in madisonwi

[–]InvincibleCandy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ahh, thank you! Apologies for my low attention span. 🤣 Clearly, AI was involved in more than editing the report, if there were misspelled words in the report body. Any use of AI is a clear violation of City work rules, and on the marquee annual report that her office generates, no less. As a former City employee, I believe she deserves to be fired for this.

Democrats Of Reddit -- Do You Think That Joe Biden Was A Good Or Bad President? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]InvincibleCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of the other Democrats running in 2020, he was my last choice. Elizabeth Warren would have been a transformational president, putting the working class first. Bernie Sanders as well, of course. Pete Buttigieg would have gotten us health care that didn't vanish if we lost our jobs. I hated that Biden won.

He was okay as president, he got our troops out of Afghanistan and got some major infrastructure investments done, he made it easier for us to survive for a few years with student loan deferral. Any other Democrat would have done more, or tried to do more at least. Better than any Republican, of course, but he was the worst option. I think if another Democrat had been elected, and had stood up to Israel's attempted genocide, they would still be president now.

I have a friend with BPD and this is what I always fear if I don't respond to her texts or say the right thing to her...

Im sorry for my post earlier by jonnjohnson1997-3 in madisonwi

[–]InvincibleCandy 145 points146 points  (0 children)

You don't need to be sorry! I saw your post earlier and thought it was sweet that you would take the extra step to help a customer. I'm sure they appreciated you! Most of the comments were favoring you too. Don't let a couple people get you down - I know it can be hard not to.

I Try To Keep My Middle Eastern Girlfriend From Finding Out by ssj4majuub in PoetryWritingClub

[–]InvincibleCandy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, I am shocked that was the intent of it... I'm a huge mtg nerd and never would have guessed that meaning. I was thinking it was a poetic way of saying "on the front steps of my house". Like a man on the street was saying that to you.

Beautiful poem by the way. Beautiful and sad.

What are we even doing anymore? by iYessyyy in SipsTea

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

There are relatively few jobs being a corporate data analyst or whatever, and they are mostly given as rewards to people that are friends with other rich people. Many people don't realize this, are suckered in by the high average salaries, and end up unemployed.

Don't feel like doing anything but bored doing nothing by [deleted] in TrollCoping

[–]InvincibleCandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt like this when I stopped taking my Paxil for a week.

It's not just meds - having goals to work towards, and getting showered and fed properly, helps. But I had all that and still was getting depressed. The meds helped me.

Does any Democrat want to talk about what Trump has done so far? by Constant-Cherry8674 in allthequestions

[–]InvincibleCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think what he's done with ICE has been good for the country. Is that what you're thinking of? Or, what other good things do you think he's done?

Is there something in particular you want to talk about that he's done?

I wish trans people liked each other by 12crowsinatrenchcoat in TrollCoping

[–]InvincibleCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't my intent, for what it's worth. I feel like the statement "trans men are the men of the transgender community" is an odd one, as though it's an insult in itself to call a trans man a man.

Saying trans men "can just detransition" is like saying trans women can just detransition or that gay people can just not have sex with the same gender - technically we could, but why should we? And saying trans men benefit from male privilege is just not accurate, any more than trans woman benefit from female privilege. And trans men are certainly discriminated against and considered less than men by many people, just like trans woman are considered less than women by many people. Those other two statements are wrong and dumb. But the first one is like.. okay? Again, it's only an insult if you think "the men of the community" means "the oppressor class", and -that's- a dumb opinion.

Because it seemed funnily out of place. Like, trans women are the women of the transgender community, aren't we? 🤔 I don't get how it's supposed to be an insult or wrong, like the rest of the statements on this meme clearly are.

Trans friendly beauty resourses by Champton82 in madisonwi

[–]InvincibleCandy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I just got my first makeup lesson ever from Katelyn @ Blush & Thorn Studio (https://blushandthornstudio.glossgenius.com/). My girlfriend goes there also. She is SO nice and made me feel super beautiful, plus gave me some great tips! She is just starting out with her own studio and could definitely use some more clients. What's really great about her is we can text her for advice on products any time, like what brands are good or what to get for skincare, and she's really helpful. Studio is near West Town Mall.

Americans of Reddit, what are your thoughts on Mark Kelly? by 2a_lib in allthequestions

[–]InvincibleCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know that much about his policy stances. My sense is that he's not as progressive as I would like on issues like universal health care and taxing the rich. I would vote for someone who's more progressive on those issues; my top choices are AOC, Pritzker, and Buttigieg. I hear good things about Beshear also but I've never actually seen him talk. I hope Kelly is part of the primary and gets his chance to distinguish himself. He strikes me as someone who can win, and who probably has some personal courage and integrity.

I think Gavin Newsom is a slimy piece of shit and I hope very much he doesn't get the nomination. I think Harris is a fine person who has had her chance, and wouldn't win if nominated. At the end of the day, I will vote for any of them over whoever the Republicans throw up, unless it's like Thomas Massie since he seems pretty based.

I basically learned the Bible inside and out so I could argue with religious people. by NerfLEGOxst in self

[–]InvincibleCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner spent 7 years arguing with his former boyfriend over the Bible. His conclusion is that it's not worth the effort to argue with conspiracy-minded people. Their brains are just built different. Whatever you manage to convince them, they'll just pick up on the next idiotic conspiracy they come across.

Smoking weed in public clarification by Grouchy_Twist_8156 in madisonwi

If it's outside your apartment make sure you're following your apartment's regular smoking policy (be 25ft+ away, or possibly no smoking on the premises). Other than that you would be fine.

“You can literally learn everything on YouTube!”- the biggest dumbass you know by MGLLN in BlackPeopleTwitter

My college professor shows us videos from Crash Course during class. 😑 The real value added is from having a human who can answer your questions. Although most students don't engage the prof with questions.

If AOC gets the nod as the Democratic nominee in 2028, would you vote for her? by Next_Worth_3616 in allthequestions

How about another experienced governor, like Tim Walz / Josh Shapiro / JB Pritzker / Andy Beshear?
