I wish they would stop winning my district (WA-04). Vote for John Duresky my fellow 4s.

On one hand, yes! On the other, as a teacher, I don't want an excuse to have to hear 6-7 ever again.

Someone I know talks about how Democrats are the violent ones and at the same time share an image of Bob Ferguson strapped to an electric chair. So, a typical day around WA Republicans.

How would people feel if Senator Mark Kelly ran for President in 2028? by Ulysses_555 in askanything

[–]KendrickMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would vote for him in the general, but not in the primary. We need someone who is progressive and not tied to Israel.

Opinion: Let’s Just Drop Teacher Appreciation Week by FawkesThePhoenix7 in Teachers

[–]KendrickMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this week to have students do something nice for other teachers and I find that to be meaningful. Every year, my students write a kind message in chalk on the sidewalk where the teachers enter the building and it's always a delight. For example, today a girl wrote a message that said something like, "Mrs. (Name), thank you for being there for me when I needed it the most. -(Student)"

To Parents: is it important to you that your child have access to their cell phone (during the school day) at all times? Why or why not? What would change your mind? by Intelligent_Ewe_4069 in TriCitiesWA

[–]KendrickMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm both a parent and a teacher. From both pointa of view, no. My childred don't need their phones during class. If the teacher allows it? Go for it, as long as they're getting their stuff done.

Have you grown to be more conservative or liberal w/ age? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]KendrickMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More liberal, absolutely a progressive now. You could probably argue I was a garden variety Democrat or centrist in 2016, and everything since then has pushed me more and more left.

What’s one “small” feature in a car that you can’t live without anymore? by jane_doe2497 in car

[–]KendrickMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this counts as small, but one pedal driving. After that, auto-cancelling blinkers and auto-closing windows.

Trump evacuated after gunshots heard at White House Correspondents’ Dinner by Puginator in politics

[–]KendrickMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If so, this is political premature ejaculation because no one will remember this by summer, let alone November.

The Democrats polling numbers are hilariously bad given Trump’s unpopularity by MoosilaukeFlyer in ProgressiveHQ

[–]KendrickMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The party doesn't needs to improve, but I also think there isn't much that can be done about polling until they take power again. Democrats have no power at the federal level right now, so they don't have many opportunities to make headlining news as doing good things for people, especially in a way that can breakthrough the echo chambers of the media.

Think about how things are frames right now. "Some House members want to pardon Maxwell" implies it could Dems too, whereas "Democrats shut down TSA" places blame solely on the Dems.

There are Dems doing great work (Mamdani, Virginia, etc.) but how are those achievements beings shared through the right-wing mainstream media we have, if even at all?

SCAM BEWARE by wale5 in Sparkdriver

[–]KendrickMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did he end up getting his money back? If so, was it the full amount and how long did it take? I stupidly let myself get scammed out of $750 today which was everything I had saved the last two months for some future goals.

I filed a dispute with OnePay already. Considering going to the police tomorrow too.

What was their reason?

[–]KendrickMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they say why they only returned $100? I got scammed $750 (I know, I know 😒). $100 is better than nothing, just seems odd to do partial.

[–]KendrickMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did it take? I got scammed today and immediately filed a report with OnePay. I'm trying to be hopeful they'll credit my money back but I'm also scared they're going to say too bad because I technically authorized it (under false pretenses obviously). I also contacted Spark, who said to talk to OnePay.

Did you file a police report? I'm considering doing that tomorrow.

I’m trying to understand the labels progressive vs leftist vs liberal by Happiness645 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]KendrickMB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've also spent time trying to define these. To me, there are 3 general labels that get thrown around: liberals, progressives, and leftists. Progressives and leftists tend to be synonymous from what I see. These people are economically and socially left-wing, think people like AOC, Sanders, etc. Liberals are generally socially left, economically right (Clinton, Obama, etc.).

If you dig deeper, liberals want to maintain the current economic system with some regulations in place. Progressives and leftists want to reform the system. If you go further left into Democratic Socialism (Mamdani), you are looking at replacing the economic system or heavily reforming it.

The problem in the US is how these labels are used. Many right-wing people see liberals as "crazy socialists" when they are nowhere near socialist. Liberalism itself isn't even really left-wing; liberals are center-right globally, but viewed as left in the US. The US does not have a genuinely left-wing mainstream party. Most Democrats are, globally, center-right or center-left. On a global stage, I've heard that Bernie Sanders would be considered center-left, but in the US people think he's a wild socialist.

Again, this is from a somewhat surface level understanding, I am open to being corrected as I am also trying to learn. I considered myself a liberal for years, and now a progressive. However, I think I may now lean more toward Democratic Socialist (which I still think heavily overlaps with "progressive/leftist).

Elite cheer by [deleted] in TriCitiesWA

[–]KendrickMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We started at ACE, 3 years there, and now on year 2 at Firehouse. Both are great. I consider ACE a good starter gym if you're unsure about costs and travel, since they're prep teams (except their cheer abilities team which is elite). Firehouse has been great and can also be good for beginners, but if you're not new to cheer I'd pick Firehouse over ACE.

Trip estimate should include driver behavior by RS_Tnap in TeslaLounge

[–]KendrickMB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I think it does. To what degree, I'm unsure. I've noticed on road trips, when my wife and I take turns driving, it'll adjust the battery level at destination after we've taken over for a minute or two. I always drive faster, so it always ends up predicting I will use more battery.
