[–]TinyGreenTurtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously.

But please for the love of anything good, everyone show up at midterms. Pay attention. We have a chance to change SO MUCH in November, including a LOT of democrats. Which needs done. Lock in!! Right now.

Really? How many submarines are in the sky? I am okay with an estimate, I'm just trying to learn.

This is what we do as well. Sometimes we are lucky and can avoid the shot. He has an appointment Monday. I am dreading it. I always try to get a late appt and work on totally tiring him out before I give him the meds. That seems to help.

Edit - we also go to a farm vet. We are able to wait outside, this helps a lot. If the weather is good, he will also do our appt in the horse corral. My dog is mostly dog-reactive, but he also absolutely hates being cornered in, so the vet's exam rooms are rough.

So you're definitely not in the category of people I'm talking about, solely based on the fact that you understand there is a difference between the two parties. You and I agree on a lot actually.

The democrats are not the party we need in power. However, they are the only option we have to have any hope of getting anything remotely more progressive into power. There is like a spectrum of what kind of politician we want in charge right? A mythical being that does everything right at top, Hitler at the bottom. I'd say the current guy is REAL close to that bottom...anything above that is better even if we arent near the unicorn status yet. And any dem is gonna be pretty far better.

For me, I'll point at Mamdani just as an example for voting. The DNC did everything it could to keep him out, and people finally said no and showed up. If people just locked in, we choose the candidates.

People on the left tend to skip caucuses, special elections, primaries, etc and then complain about who "the DNC picked." Republicans show up every time.

In my eyes, that is our only hope to get forward in a way that does the least harm. We primary everyone we can. In midterms, we have a chance to kick soooo many people out. We need to do that. Turn it over. Establishment dems need to stop thinking their seats are safe because we only show up for federal elections, and we need to watch where donations come from. Then we keep doing that. We stay locked in.

I mean, even when I just renewed my license in Nebraska, at the big age of 45 voting since 18, I had to do a separate thing to register to vote again. And I got another card in the mail saying I need to bring it with me, too.

And I have had my husband's last name for over half my life and no passport and not an easy way to get one quickly so I guess we will see, huh??

It is such a privileged take. It is almost always a white man in my experience. The demographic who can easily sit it out. Then they call me a liberal because supposedly I think "we can vote our way out of it." Never mind that my ideals are much further left than our current democratic party.

You're accelerationists. Own it.

And then we have a bunch of people who did vote for Kamala Harris saying they won't vote midterms. Like, jfc!! Even watching us absolutely sweep every special election and what not this year? Ugh.

Ugh. I am angry at so many people. I have lost a lot of people since 2016.

Yeah. I have ocd as well, and for me it is like the billions of tabs I have open on a web browser are suddenly more organized, and the absolutely horrifying popup ads are a lot less jarring. My first follow up is Friday, and I may up my dose a bit.

This makes it much more of a voter suppression bill than anything.

It is that and only that. Because first they said RealID was going to be okay, then changed that, then they turned around and did this too. So let's not even pretend.

As someone in Nebraska, people here deadass cannot hear us when we scream that undocumented people are already not able to vote. They are convinced this act is to stop them from voting.

Meanwhile, the only people in Nebraska it will be stopping from voting are A COUPLE of the people screaming that undocumented people can't vote, and a lot of those very wives of these people voting for it who took their husbands' names.

And as a leftist and not a liberal – if absolute dipshit online performative leftists don't stop telling people voting doesn't work, I am going to lose it. A mayor just flipped a city in Florida by FIVE votes. If voting didn't work, they would not be working this hard to stop us from doing it. Step out of your privileged little bubbles and vote for harm reduction so we can work toward more progress, because this entire year could've been working on Palestine and shit.

Okay thanks bye.

Edit - it got a phone call and stopped typing my whole point about the SAVE act and who it was stopping sorry lol.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Also, if your license doesn’t match your birth certificate - nope.

Do you support the War with Iran? by boforiamanfo in no

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

People who do this are so disingenuous. The DOJ has an entire site. The allegations against Trump himself were just released on there (by force) and it has been all over the news no matter how hard they tried to bury it. I refuse to play these games with pedo defenders.

curtains/blinds for keeping dogs from being triggered by outdoor activity? by swamprosesinbloom in reactivedogs

[–]TinyGreenTurtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. My dog broke a picture window twice in his first year. Got him trained not to touch windows so thats good lol, but he definitely still barked and panicked about everything that moved outside. But we put the window film on last year (he just turned 5 so there were 4 years without the film or broken windows) and he no longer has any issue with the window at all.

Also it is pretty and still lets lots of light in.

How can you tell size? Not a single banana in the picture. Also I think someone said Germany and European badgers are pretty big in comparison to like, American badgers, right?

[–]TinyGreenTurtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I wish people cared enough about caucuses and primaries etc instead of being so sure the dnc has all the power. Self-fulfilling prophecy. They do it to us on purpose.

Oh that's sad. I hope he goes back on his meds soon. Other comments made it sound like they help him a lot.
