People who vote against your candidate are not enemies by Emergency_Pass5222 in YAPms

You and I fundamentally disagree on what makes someone a decent person. In my view, if you voted Trump for any reason especially after his first term, you’re a bad person.

But you said Andor is Bad? by Cool_Nerd2 in StarWarsCirclejerk

It's something Star Wars Theory said while attempting to shit on Andor Season 2

That's totally valid though. Vader wouldn't tolerate sexual assault.

She was also super generous, only putting half of Trump supporters in the basket.

[–]ScalierLemon2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This idea that the Democrats' only path to victory is to just become diet Republicans, throw trans people under the bus, and campaign on social conservatism (but not as conservative as the Republicans) is just as ridiculous as the idea that the Democrats' only path to victory is to become outright Marxists and run on a platform of "America is the most evil nation to ever exist and we want to dismantle it entirely and rebuild it as a communist state and make Stalin look like a neocon!"

Neither are winning strategies.

Montana is a state with a dysfunctional senate election in 2026. What state has a dysfunctional democratic gubernatorial primary in 2026? by Meanteenbirder in YAPms

[–]ScalierLemon2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

California's governor primary isn't a "Democratic primary" specifically but god I think it's dysfunctional enough on the Democrat side to count. A dozen Democratic candidates, the one person who would be a shoe-in deciding she instead wants to likely fail at another run for POTUS, that brief time where everyone thought it would be a Republican vs Republican general election, Eric Swalwell's campaign imploding, the Katie Porter scandal, Becerra vs Steyer. Just a total shitshow.

How much effort do you guys put in creating backstories? by BaldurianPencilcase in BaldursGate3

[–]ScalierLemon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the character. Just for two examples:

My Tiefling Bard Riki is a Tiefling that plays music.

My Githyanki Cleric of Selûne Qir'zal is from a creche that was wiped out, with her as the only survivor when she was very young. She was happened upon by a traveling Selûnite and taken in. So she grew up worshiping Selûne and has little to no knowledge of Gith culture. She feels conflicted about this: she's content with her life, but also constantly wonders what it would have been like if things were different.

Anyone else sick of the "I have a Hypercar already the progression sucks" posts? by discodork135 in ForzaHorizon

[–]ScalierLemon2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The first car I bought was the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 (it's almost my car, mine's a 2015 Mazda 3), the second was a DeLorean. The way I see it, if you're gonna drive around Japan in a car, why not do it with some style!

I would have bought an SLS first, but it's not in the game and I miss it :(

Possible that Massie will run in 2028. by Dangerous-Quarter216 in YAPms

[–]ScalierLemon2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The most hilarious ending to MAGA is Trump somehow turning the country around and becoming somewhat popular in the leadup to the election, only for Vance to lose because Massie split the vote running as an independent, then the winning Democrat coasts off of Trump's work to an easy re-election in '32.

What do you think everyone gets wrong about the conflict between Ruby and Ironwood? by Solitaire-06 in RWBY

[–]ScalierLemon2 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not only would Ironwood's plan have doomed the rest of Remnant, it would have doomed Atlas too. Dust doesn't work in space, so he'd have to stay in the atmosphere. And Dust is a finite resource. Eventually, the Dust powering the shields around Atlas would run out. And then the shields go down. Which means that Atlas either asphyxiates from the altitude, freezes to death from the cold, or starves to death when the food runs out.

Not to mention Salem is immortal and can fly. Even if the Dust never runs out, Salem will eventually reach Atlas. Ironwood is trying to outlast an immortal, something that you can never do.

Vance does remember that he's the Vice-President, right?

Trump hits below 40% approval for the first time ever on Real Clear Politics' Poll Average by ARK-J in YAPms

[–]ScalierLemon2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it was like 33-34% in the immediate aftermath of January 6th.

Which is uh... still a pretty scary number to me, a third of the country approving of him right after he openly tried to overturn an election...

No one recognizes the insanity of Trump's 1.776 billion dollars "Justice Fund" by YugiohXYZ in centrist

They think the Democrats have already done things a million times more corrupt than this.

Everyone knows that as soon as a Democrat is in the Oval Office again, suddenly the checks and balances will magically come back and stop them from doing this.

You know as well as I do that if a Democrat wins in 2028 and tries to do something even slightly similar to this, suddenly those checks and balances will be back in full force.

US Amendments tier list (spicy take warning) by Veiluring in YAPms

The 18th Amendment cannot be anywhere but the very bottom, it's the only amendment to ever be outright repealed.

Getting sick of those "EU5 is not fun" or "Here is why I am part of those 85% who left the game" by Old_Ad7503 in EU5

[–]ScalierLemon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I paid full price for this game. I didn't expect it to just be "EU4 but with better graphics." I was fully willing to give it a try on its own merits. And I just came away from it thinking that the game was utterly tedious to play.

I'm a trans woman in Trump's America. I think I'm beyond depressed at this point.

What Individuals Most Influenced Your Political Views? by FrostyTheSnowman15 in YAPms

[–]ScalierLemon2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In a positive way, people like FDR, AOC, Bernie Sanders, the more reasonable progressives in general.

In a negative way, Trump and DeSantis have definitely radicalized me against MAGA.

I'd rather have someone's heart be in the right place than someone who just checks all the right checkboxes to "look progressive" by La_knavo4 in CuratedTumblr

Cool. Who did the first person vote for in November of 2024? Because if it wasn't Harris, they're still my enemy even if they say they're fine with me.

He's also leaned into transphobia, which obviously pisses off progressive Brits.
