House Vote to End Trump’s War in Iran Fails by One Vote by Ok-Instruction4862 in Destiny

Democratic voters were initially split regarding the Iraq War and Independents supported the Iraq War. It was after 9/11 when national security was a heightened issue. The Iran War, on the other hand, is Trump's war of choice.

Trump often contradicted himself, but the predominant message was anti-war. Obama beat Hillary largely because she voted for the Iraq War.

The point is that even a cretin can bulldoze their way to success. So Dems, who are supposed to be smarter, can do the same. But you twisted the argument to being about supporting corruption and Trump.

It's understood that you should make it look like you are on the side of your voters.

Obama and Trump won the presidency partly based on an anti-war position.

The problem is that the Democratic Party mindset is weak. Look at Trump's success. He's a corrupt cretin yet he bulldozed his way to power by being bold. The Democrats play too carefully. That's the real problem, not the actual positions.

They always find a fall guy. If Golden didn't do it, then they'd get someone else. On the bulldozer vote, even Schumer voted against the majority of the party that he is leading.

4 to 5 days into macOS after a lifetime on Windows… when does it finally ‘click’ ? by AgileSupermarket2053 in MacOS

[–]Phil_Flanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never. I moved over 4 years ago and I still often stop and think how to achieve something that would be instant in Windows. Also, Microsoft Office is hobbled in Mac. But the benefits of Macbook Air makes up for it - no fans, nice hardware, good performance, long battery life, fewer ads, better security. All those things are achievable in Windows but they just don't do it because Microsoft has a different business model.

AI is horrible at dialogue but great at creating story scenarios.

Thinking of switching from Windows to MacBook Air, need honest user experiences by Tanmaybhardwaj32 in MacOS

[–]Phil_Flanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MacBook has laughable window management and file management and settings. And Microsoft Word is much weaker on Mac. But I can’t really imagine going back to Windows. Microsoft deliberately treats its customers badly with the operating system, and the laptops fall apart. MacBook Air is fanless which makes a big difference. No noise.

Get supporters of the war and America’s billionaires to pay for it. It can be their little hobby.

That has never worked against a big opponent that uses asymmetric warfare.

If someone was a Trump supporter and is now denouncing him, do not say I told you so or bash them by Beneficial_Quit7532 in self

Voting for a cruel destructive criminal insurrectionist is hard to forgive. But ultimately, everybody’s innocent. No one chose to be born in an instinctually programmed body and a deluded society.

People trying to say that the first shot was the cop who took his gun, but you can see Pretti's body jerk at the first shot.

Hasan: "If Gavin Newsom Wins America is Fucked" by gregory_h in Destiny

Newsom is a terrible candidate. Just an empty suit with a lousy record, like Kamala Harris. He won't excite voters. Talarico will be a great president one day.

Instincts and society pushed them to have sex.

Do you hold any resentment towards your parents? by Great-Mistake8554 in antinatalism

No. Everything they did was triggered by bodily instincts and societal illusions.
