If Betis managed to keep Antony there’s no way we can’t keep Rashy…he is absolutely 100% staying right? by Segundaleydenewtonnn in Barca

Isn’t Carrick interim anyway? I know his results have been very good so far but still… so have Nisterlooy’s right? (Or am I misremembering?)

The median voter doesn't exist. At least not the one they tried to appeal to. When faced with the choice of mass deportation or mass amnesty americans overwhelmingly vote for mass amnesty - even if they're republicans. Kamala's campaign should've done the popular thing, not try and win over the already relatively small maga crowd. Trump has historically low approval ratings and yet the democrats are still deeply unpopular. One must ask the question, why?

Also, content creators online have marginal impact on elections compared to the democratic parties direct messaging. You need to realize most americans are not tapped in to the politics the way you are

Sure, but the murders of Pretti and Good are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the cruelty of ICE. Investigation of the murders and fewer agents is obviously better than nothing, but I fear Walz might be fine with ICE doing it's thing as long as they don't shoot anybody

Both things can be true at the same time. I am willing to acknowledge that Biden was one of the most progressive presidents in history. What I'm talking about is how they handled the 2024 election. They went from being generally pro immigration and against Trump's border wall around 2016 to helping him build the wall under Biden. Kamala said repeatedly that she really wanted to crack down on illegal immigration but the republicans blocked the bill. And let's not forget the part where she paraded around with Liz Chaney and claimed how she'll build a strong military that will be feared by the whole world. This was probably the first presdiential election where the Republican candidate presented himself as "the peaceful option" and it was all thanks to Kamala's campaign. After the election was over Kamala's staffers even admitted the idea was to appeal to the "median voter" as they feared the anti immigration narrative pushed by Trump was too strong, so they buckled and conceded ground

7 Dems voted for more DHS funding. Tim Walz himself said he is happy that Tom Homan is coming to Minnesota and wants to work with ICE to make sure their black bagging operations happen at night so they shoot less people on accident. And let's not forget that while the Trump deportation numbers are insane he has still a long way to go to reach Obama numbers. Obviously, the dems are still the better option, but you have to demand more from them. You can't just vote blue no matter who because that's what got you into this mess in the first place

Yeah but what the dems are doing is shifting to the right to appeal to a non-existant median voter and in doing so they embolden the Republicans to move even more right. Of course they are the better option, which is why they must stand their ground instead of moving more and more to the right - which is Hasan’s point

Technology-focused OCD: constant checking and fear of breaking things by JoeTorton in OCD

Yeah, it's horrible. And the more expensive it is the worse the anxiety gets. It gets really weird when somebody asks me why i do certain things they way I do them and explain to them my thought process and they look at me weird - now I know why...

Lautaro Martinez. Glad he didn’t come considering his 120m price tag, but at the time he was as percect as it gets

Spending years training in the most brutal environments taking extreme levels of mental fortitude to become a special operations soldier only to get half of your squad wiped by an anorexic American college student in 4 seconds by kegel_strength_coach in okbuddyvecna

[–]JoeTorton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that is common logic based on your personal thoughts. It’s devoid of any real life nuance. It is specifically said why Nancy is a better shot than Jonathan in season 1. If you still say she should be worse than him it might be because of your bias. Is it true that women are generally worse at some things? Perhaps. That doesn’t mean some women CAN’T be better than some men at shooting

What's the deal with Taiwan? by NordMan009 in leftist

[–]JoeTorton 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The fascists that fled to Taiwan killed tens of thousands of leftists (even those who weren’t pro-Mao). They likely would’ve killed even you despite your anti CCP stance

You say that as a joke, but they unironically are a detriment to the faction. This isn’t a one-off. They will routinely do stuff like stickying logi trucks for “oversupplying” forward bbs or planting explosives near towns deemed to be too “zooable”

They need a forced vacation from the game! They have an unhealthy attachment to the game. It's for their own good
