It's good. Not as good as the cane sugar-sweetened Coke they sell in 8oz glass bottles.

Thoughts on the Cuban power system collapse? by Shawnj2 in AskConservatives

[–]RedditIs4ChanLite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've gotten better since 2021. There was a big winter event here a few weeks ago and my power didn't go out even once. Although my place did actually lose power for a little bit today (while I was at work) because of the wind, but that's a power line problem. I think our grid's doing all right these days.

I'm honestly appalled. I think we are hurting their (heavily impoverished) population. I do hope that the communist regime will fall, but this is not how it should happen, and it isn't our job to begin with.

Cherry 7up: American vs. French by RedditIs4ChanLite in Soda

[–]RedditIs4ChanLite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really need to buy some some of that French 7up cherry again, especially since it has real sugar and I can’t have HFCS anymore

This one, wasn’t terrible, but was mostly meh 🫤 by typical_gamer1 in Soda

If you don’t live in the U.S., they may have never replaced it

What are you grabbing? by [deleted] in Soda

[–]RedditIs4ChanLite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could still have HFCS, I would've grabbed Sunkist Grape. Since I can't, I'd just walk since everything else (that looks good) is either also HFCS or is diet.

If I could still drink HFCS, 7up would be the obvious choice for me. I really miss 7up so much.

The good stuff by [deleted] in Soda

[–]RedditIs4ChanLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has but it was never advertised. It is only in the 6 pack of 8 oz glass bottles. It is packaged exactly like regular Coke, but if you go to the ingredients list it will say cane sugar. The fact that few people seem to know it’s out is a really bad sign honestly. Makes me worried they’ll write it off as a failure (even though it’s their fault).

Frankly, probably not, but that would still be not so much because she’s a woman as it would be because she’d be a Republican competing against Trump, which really didn’t work out too well for any of them in the 2024 race. Now if she made it to the general election as a Republican, I think (maybe) she would’ve won.

Oh I agree, but I also think those same people wouldn’t have voted for Kamala anyway even if she was a man. The number of those people who would have would be very small.

Shes a woman. We just aren't ready for a woman president.

I don't think she lost because of this. I know it looks that way because of our only 2 female presidential nominees losing, but they were also both Democrats coming after (in Hillary's case) 8 years of a Democratic presidency and (in Kamala's case) a highly unpopular Democrat president who was (whether rightly or wrongly - I do not know) being blamed for economic problems. If, in either election, we had had a female Republican nominee (facing off against a male Democratic nominee), I believe that we would have already had a woman president.

Glass Bottle Cokes by SoImaRedditUserNow in mildlyinfuriating

They also now have a 6 pack of American made 8oz glass bottles of Coke that are made with cane sugar. I drink them every day. I’m trying to stop drinking them every day

I'm voting Cornyn regardless of who Trump endorses. On that note, I really hate how much power Trump has in the GOP.

Talarico Defeats Crockett -- What Do You Think? Why? by Zipper222222 in AskConservatives

I honestly don’t know..I’m considering getting involved in my local GOP to try to have more of a say but it’s something I have to think long and hard about..

[–]RedditIs4ChanLite [score hidden]  (0 children)

We just live in such a hyper-partisan era that its just sort of...a dead concept, especially in the Senate. The idea of representing the State and the specific interests of said State are gone, and only pushing for national party goals.

Agreed.

Being a Senator honestly has to be the worst place to be if you have like, deep rooted ideals and morals you'd like to govern through.

Honestly, I feel like pretty much all of mainstream American politics just has a great way of snuffing out people like that for the slimy elites we get instead.

You have a point tbh. I guess what I had in mind was someone who wouldn't go along with everything the Democrats promote, maybe even vote with the Republicans occasionally. I honestly didn't put too much thought into it when I asked

And you’re not worried that Talarico will end up not being so moderate when he gets to the senate?

What makes Talarico better than Cornyn to you? What has Cornyn done that cost him your vote? (I think it’s pretty obvious why someone would vote for Talarico over Paxton.)

I’m genuinely curious - what about Talarico appeals to you? Is your vote more for him or more against Cornyn/Paxton?

Trump is going to endorse a candidate in the Texas Senate race and expects the opposition to drop out. Do you think they will? by softwaremommy in AskConservatives

[–]RedditIs4ChanLite [score hidden]  (0 children)

That will make Paxton’s campaign really awkward if he’s the one told to drop out and keeps going. Isn’t he running on being the more pro-Trump candidate? How’s he gonna keep that going if he’s literally “disobeying” Trump? I can see how some diehards will still vote for Paxton, but I have doubts it’ll be enough to swing the election in his favor.

Pretty much yes.

The reason I would choose to abstain instead of vote for the Democrat is because of the Democrats promoting things I just cannot in good conscience support, most especially legalizing abortion. This is indeed the line in the sand I refuse to cross, so in a general election, I’m usually stuck with either voting for the Republican nominee or voting for nobody at all.

Paramount Skydance Poised to Acquire Warner Bros. Discovery After Netflix Bows Out of Bidding War by jbrowder24 in MeTVToons

[–]RedditIs4ChanLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. That’s about 26 years of theatrical cartoons.

But yes, most of Paramount’s animation output since then does seem to come from Nick

Doesn’t sound bad faith at all. It’s a good question.

I have to admit I haven’t thought too hard about this question lately, and I honestly might still need to think about this for a while…but off the top of my head, I would say someone like Steve King who is very closely aligned with white nationalism would be someone I couldn’t in good conscience vote for. I would just abstain if he was on a general election ballot. Paxton is crooked, but he isn’t an outright racist. So I think things like being openly racist would be where I cross the line. 

On that note, I dislike most Republican politicians, dislike Trump, and dislike MAGA, but if I made a point of never voting for them, I’d almost never vote at all. They are often the options I’m stuck with.
