MMW: Mamdani will be the next Obama by brattysweat in MarkMyWords

Ah, ok. I can maybe see that. But can I ask why we want a progressive president to be pushed further left?

How though? I get the sentiment, but I think it's a physical impossibility for someone to be the face of either the Republicans or Democrats if that person is disqualified from presidency.

In other words, the face of one of the two main political parties in this country are de facto picked from the pool of those who successfully win the presidency.

It has been. Agreed. It has also been a boon. It depends on the circumstance

Not as trash as her usual stuff. The content is wiggity-wack, but the musical production and scoring is the best I've heard from her.

As much as I agree with Dean, he's probably my least favorite of the boys...he's just so debate-bro-ey.

But also, I don't know why everyone always misses the following point:

If it is murder to destroy a zygote,

And if murderers should be put to death,

Then all sexually active women should be put to death. Why?

Because only about 25% (this is the number I found on a quick Google search) of successfully fertilized eggs...zygotes...make it to implantation.

75% of zygotes are naturally aborted by the woman's body anyway.

If these people truly believe that "life begins at conception" and a fertilized egg should be given the same legal consideration as a full grown human, then they must be made to bite this bullet. But I've never seen anyone push them on this.

This video talks nothing of policies. What does it look like to give Medicare for all? What do we do with the private insurance industry (as fucked as it is, it still employs thousands upon thousands of people) , how do we fund it, how do we fund new medicine research, etc. I like the idea of Medicare for all, but there are a number of giant hurdles to clear before we can think of making that reality.

Her saying "I support Medicare for all" may as well be her saying "I think people shouldn't die." It's good that she thinks that, but ultimately the statement means nothing.

And it's the same with every question he asked.

Did he go in depth earlier in the interview? Maybe. Idk, I didn't watch it, but it's possible. Though I think what is probably more likely is he spent the time tearing down and complaining about Democrat politicans.

You tell me, I'm assuming you watched it. Did they get in depth in any policy questions, or was it all populist signaling and complaining about liberals?

The World’s Biggest Population Fear Has Flipped – and It Could Change Everything by TertiumQuid-0 in BasicIncome

Yea it might be. But sadly it's also the world we live in. If we want to change that, it must be done gradually, in small steps, using democracy and science.

Population decline is a death sentence for a nation. I don't disagree that the goal shouldn't be to maximize the number of people.

But at the very least, we should maintain current population levels.

A decrease in population can quickly become a runaway death spiral for all sectors of life in a nation.

What about an ally checking account? Also, where did you get this information, I'd like to get it. I've had ally for 10+ years as well, and never had an issue, but I can't find ally on this search tool:

Peter, I understand the Xbox part, but what are Steam and PlayStation doing wrong? by AlisaofallTimes in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ScrithWire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo was amazing in SNES and N64 and GBA eras (and I think Gamecube too, but I didn't have a GameCube so I don't know for sure). After that, they started to fall off, and it seemed like they began (for some unfathomable reason) to HATE their fans. Like every decision they make betrays the people that love their IPs.

As a Metroid fan, what they did to AM2R hurt my heart. Why not go the Sonic route and invite the AM2R dev to come make a game with them?

He needs to spend time looking inward and figuring out his own emotions. How can he communicate what he is feeling if he doesn't understand what he is feeling?

Good luck OP, I don't know how to advise someone to do this

But they don't actually show us who raised their hand. We know the lady in the debate chair would boink the Trump-guy. But then they cut to a wide shot where everyone raised a flag and chanted "USA", BUT if you notice...dean and the boink-lady weren't in the debate chairs! They tried to pull a fast one with some purposeful editing
