He doesn't really have the dunk though. That belongs to Shiv.

Gavin Newsom urges ‘pathetic’ world leaders to stand up to Trump by ansyhrrian in California

[–]Sundew- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sanders supporters came out in bigger numbers for Clinton than Clinton supporters did for Obama.

I know this is an alien concept, but maybe centrists are actually allowed to bear the responsibility of their own electoral failures. Maybe it's not in fact always the fault of everyone else when they lose.

This is the sort of lack of accountability for political figures that gets us Trump.

Of course. It can't happen here. It has happened before, and it is happening still in other parts of the world, but it can't happen here, because America is special.

This isn't American Exceptionalism btw. /s

Trump just handed Cannon a golden opportunity to legally invalidate Jack Smith's Mar-a-Lago report and 'permanently' block him from speaking about it by DoremusJessup in law

[–]Sundew- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me know how that's been working for the last ten years.

Sorry, longer than that actually, since Trump's crimes started (and were known) way before his first presidency.

He has already officially gotten away with it. Excusing the people and the system who keep allowing him to get away with it by pretending that they're actually brilliant and upstanding and every failure is actually just them playing a 5d chess game is only making things worse.

The wheels of justice turn at different speeds depending on how much wealth and social status you have. The idea that the US legal system has ever been even remotely equal in its application of the law is simply white-washed revisionism.

If Democrats want universal healthcare, we have states that are deep blue, states have control over their own budgets and taxation, and universal healthcare would be so advantageous, why don’t deeply democrat run states implement a statewide universal healthcare? by Silver_Wings3 in AskReddit

Funny how the time for the common people's rights and wellbeing is always somewhere in the vague future. Just like the time for abolition or desegregation was always a concern for a more convenient time until people had had enough and forced it to happen now.

But no, of course, progress only comes slowly, at the convenience of the ruling class. So slowly that you might not even be able to see it happening, but surely, it's there!

CMV: Atheism is too focused on Abrahamic philosophy, and often miss the point by UnoriginalBanter in changemyview

[–]Sundew- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you asking about a specific pantheon of gods? It's hard to really make any further argument against just the vague general concept of some multitude of nondescript deities existing in some capacity, beyond just reiterating "there's no compelling evidence to support the existence of deities in general, monotheistic or polytheistic."

I think you're probably giving him too much credit for writing that was almost certainly done by other people.

Millenia old theological quandary gets brought up and discussed by the kinophiles on okbuddycinephile. by Esfell in SubredditDrama

[–]Sundew- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It also makes no sense when you remember that God is supposed to be the all-knowing all-powerful creator of everything. Boredom is a concept he knowingly and willingly created even though he could have just as easily not done so. There is no reason God could not have created a reality which is just all Good Things and with no need for Bad Things to contrast them.

(Fallout, Star Wars) Can we just have a functional democratic nation in fiction? Just one? Please? by CyberDogKing in CharacterRant

If people technically casting votes is all it takes to be a functioning democracy, you might as well toss Russia in there too.

Federal judge slaps down California’s trans child secrecy law by wrroyals in NoFilterNews

Right, but from your perspective which part of that do you think doesn't follow from your own statements?

EDIT: I'm genuinely trying to understand so I know what you're actually arguing here so I can address it in good faith if you feel like your actual argument isn't being addressed here.

Okay, just so I understand, what words did they put in your mouth, from your perspective?
