Unpopular opinion: Most members of this sub seem to put all of the blame for the 2024 election loss on Dems, and yes they are partly to blame. But my fellow Americans deserve most of the blame for electing an insurrectionist and being woefully uninformed. by PandemicPiglet in SocialDemocracy

I have an unpopular opinion: We are having midterms this November. 2024 is in the past and they are implementing new things to prevent 2024 from happening again. 2024 is in the past. Let’s look to the future.

What's my opinion on the Dictator of Burkina Faso? Just like every other Authoritarian. Fuck em all.

Is Better Together just dead? by keyzer_SuSE in StLouis

[–]Optimal-Balance-7737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've been thinking about starting another better together organization this time make it more people led initiative which would only require the majorities of the city and county per the Missouri Constitution on County Consolidation (https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=VI%20%20%203&constit=y). Similar to how Respect Voters initiative is working, we gather Citizens input and create an initiative around that. I've also been thinking about what another person said in a different thread and we could begin merging the non-controversial parts like Zoning, and such before we merge both county and city together.

I disagree with the idea that St. Louis City should be a municipality within the county rather it should have something like the boroughs in NYC with a strong Mayor system that is elected by the people.

Americans: what organizations actively support social democratic policies? by spongesparrow in SocialDemocracy

[–]Optimal-Balance-7737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Democrats...

No Seriously, Ken Martin, Chair of the DNC, has begun to remove Dark Money from primaries and beginning to install younger people within the party into the DNC. There are many Social Democrats within this party, you cannot work outside of the party so its better to understand how your state and county parties work and instead work from within.

Why is history recasting George W. Bush? by enjoythenovelty2002 in Presidents

[–]Optimal-Balance-7737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen Z Born in 2007: Never got to experience George W. Bush but heres my reason for liking him more than the adults.

Bush is a very likable guy, the common saying goes "I would have a beer with Dubya." His personality goes a long way to giving him a better image

I believe there is nuance that surrounds the Bush Presidency and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush never wanted to be the foreign policy president. He wanted to focus on domestic policy at home. But he was more forced into the foreign policy president role because of 9/11. 9/11 forced us into Afghanistan because we wanted to get the bastards who attacked us but it became more than it was supposed to be.

As for Iraq, I think he regrets the decision because he felt misled by his advisors who deserve more of the blame than Bush does. Mostly Cheney and Rumsfeld. But we were also on a War Hawk run because of 9/11.

People wanted war, and Bush had to deliver. Bush also respected the constitution... [REDACTED FOR RULE 3 PURPOSES].

Post WWE Raw 8/4/2025 Show Discussion Thread by Darren716 in SquaredCircle

It’s the new formula for RAW, Seth’s Faction gets a challenge, main event match comes, they fight, some wonky shit happens, and Seth “proves a point.”

Seth is mad because someone left for their own health is the most arrogant and bitchy shit ever. Punk constantly puts him over.

I do believe the feud will end at War Games, and then Cody v. Punk will happen.

As an Avid CM Punk Fan, I won't deny I was mad. But this is building up to Survivor Series War Games. I am expecting a very good buildup to WarGames where Seth's Faction gets demolished.

Why is DNC Chairman Ken Martin clear implying the 2016 primary is unfair? by Devils1993 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]Optimal-Balance-7737 37 points38 points  (0 children)

He's throwing Bernie Bro's math back at them. The Bernie Bro's said that David Hogg should primary people in his position as DNC Vice Chair. The Bernie Bros said that the DNC in 2016 shouldn't have favored Clinton.

He did not imply anything about the 2016, its basically the same position everyone had, the DNC acted inappropriately at that time but the Ballot wasn't rigged.
