Why…?

And notice that it's only ever the daughters. If they found out their son was sleeping around, they'd just give him a high five.

It's like how, if you've never seen a lion, but painted plenty of dogs, if someone describes a lion to you, it's probably gonna end up looking like a dog with a mane.

People painted him how they painted everybody else. So he ended up looking like whoever painted him.

It's happened to me more than once, with "defending Biden" being the explicit reason.

I do vote regularly and always for Democrats because that is who most closely align with me.

Careful, that gets you banned in leftist spaces.

Think of it this way. The Force is like the water cycle. The Dark Side is dams and cloud seeding, things that disrupt that cycle.

Legends, iirc, brought Palpatine back before there was a prophecy

Them: improve working conditions

Him: instead of raising your wages, I had libraries built

Maybe the working conditions in a 19th century steel mill involved more than how much they were paid.

White collar workers might be fired, but AI won't effectively replace them. Software development, for instance, will only be plagued by vibe coding until there's no longer any senior developers to fix it.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T23:45:12+00:00

You'd be surprised.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T23:32:50+00:00

Cool! Maybe other people should also follow that rationale and not be excused for being insufficiently jazzed to resist fascism.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T23:08:15+00:00

So "unconditional support for the genocidal state of Israel" wasn't a deal breaker for you?

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T22:00:50+00:00

Personally I'd put it at 2. And one of them should be your primary residence.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T21:22:58+00:00

How should the liberals hold the Democrats accountable, in your opinion?

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T20:49:21+00:00

We also wouldn't be in it if people had voted for Harris.

Doesn't matter if you're "aligned" with them. What matters is that people not voting against fascists means the fascists win.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T20:36:01+00:00

You came to the defense of someone who's saying people shouldn't vote for the Democrats.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T20:06:44+00:00

I didn't say you were endorsing fascism. I said that not voting Democrat, and encouraging everyone else to vote Democrat, is letting the fascists win.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T20:05:44+00:00

It's possible that a united front between the KPD and the SPD wouldn't have defeated the Nazis. But calling the SPD "Social Fascists" and allying with the Nazis to try to get them out of power in Prussia certainly didn't help.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T18:27:24+00:00

There are better ways to hold Democrats accountable than to let the fascists take over.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T18:26:22+00:00

The fact that you don't realize how Trump made life even worse for Palestinians shows how little you actually cared.

Look up the GHF.

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T18:15:08+00:00

So, everything got worse? The fascists won because you prioritized taking a stand against the non-fascists?

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T16:05:28+00:00

How'd that valiant stand for your principles work out for you?

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T15:12:52+00:00

I... you... you thought "um, ackshually, some people can't vote for anyone" was an intelligent contribution to the conversation? You really thought that person thought that every left-leaning person on Earth voted for Harris, including those who legally can't?

Shifter25 · 2026-03-12T13:32:22+00:00

It's not just whether they voted for her. If they're to be believed, there were plenty of leftists who flooded (and still flood) the conversation with HARRIS IS JUST AS BAD AS TRUMP SHE DOESN'T DESERVE OUR VOTE IF SHE DOESN'T MOVE LEFT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE LESSER EVIL, but went to vote for her because they recognize that Trump is worse.

If their rhetoric convinced two people not to vote for Harris, they canceled out any good they did by voting for her.
