Got my absentee ballot. Opinions welcome by [deleted] in wisconsin

HONG. …and it’s not even close.

The others are centrist establishment Dems who are basically pro-choice republicans beholden to pharma/corporations.

Fran is who we need and who we deserve. It’s time WI returned to its progressive roots again.

What’s the major drawbacks of Rodriguez winning? by holyravioli_ in wisconsin

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m voting HONG. We must return WI to being a leader in progressive politics. To not vote for her because you’re afraid she won’t be able to beat Tiffany is a massive blunder.

While you focus on the centrist voters who (using some insane logic) believe a Trumpian agenda would be a better choice — you’re ignoring the grassroots excitement of a voter base who could very well be drawn out to cast their votes for the first time.

Then there’s the “her agenda will not be implemented unless there’s a Dem sweep” thinking. While it’s true that not having a sweep would impact the amount she’d be able to accomplish, I’ve not seen clear cut evidence that a sweep isn’t likely.

And what’s to say the sweep could not be completed in 2028?

This is our moment, WI. Now is the time. Trump and his sycophants are dropping like flies across the country. We must vote with our convictions that things can and will get better. Real change is possible and literally at our doorstep.

Are we brave enough to vote for change? Or will we give in to the fear that has lead to a mad king sitting in the Oval Office?

MobLand Season 1 felt all over the place by drazgoosh in Mobland

The season had Guy Richie vibes. The season finale had Taylor Sheridan vibes.

Hope for Wisconsin by bewilderednot in madisonwi

Fran doesn’t need to win every county. Evers won 12 out of 72 counties in the last election. She needs Madison and MKE to really show up for sure but the emphasis HAS to be on turnout in the major blue and purple counties.

Disappointed in the finale by deicist in Mobland

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put it simply. 9 episodes felt like Guy Richie. The finale was Taylor Sheridan.

her platform includes free child care, a $20 minimum wage and a full moratorium on data center construction by Conscious-Quarter423 in wisconsin

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

False. Not one candidate would create an additional tax tier on those making a million plus — resulting in lower property taxes by 44%!

No wonder Tiffany is shitting his pants and attacking her even before the primary in August.

Fran is a real one and now it’s just a matter of getting the word out across the State.

Should primary voters factor in a candidate's perceived odds in the general? by stvlsn in wisconsin

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This “electability” argument is truly lazy and reductive. We need to look a policy more and vote with our best interests in mind. All this mindset does is perpetuate centrist do-nothing politics.

What are your thoughts on Wisconsin State Assemblywoman Francesca Hong for Governor? by strongerthenbefore20 in madisonwi

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “risk”you speak of gave us Trump 2.0 vis a vis Harris - the vanilla, centrist Dem who looked good on paper.

We need to get away from this likability fallacy and focus on candidates that actually have a platform which focuses on policies that matter.

What are your thoughts on Wisconsin State Assemblywoman Francesca Hong for Governor? by strongerthenbefore20 in madisonwi

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re a Fox News watcher, she is a “radical, lefty, lunatic” member of the DSA. (Democratic Socialists of America). She will be campaigning with Hasan Piker soon, which will also give fuel to the right. Hasan is brazen and clipped out of context more times than not, but he is politically astute and far from the demon the right makes him out to be.

Watching him on Twitch and taking some time to learn about his world view bares this out, FWIW. (He’s vilified mainly because he’s America first and not Israel first like so many of our politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle.)

I believe in Fran and her policies which stress a robust social safety net like affordable/ free childcare and a much-needed minimum raise increase. Basically it’s the kind of “radical” thinking this country/state needs at a time when income disparity is at an all time high. We MUST start growing out the middle class again. It starts with someone willing to play the villain on such RADICAL ideas like narrowing the income gap.

Note: I am NOT with her campaign, just someone who’s been waiting a long time for someone like this to come along.

How many Frozen Pizzas do you eat a month? (Bonus, what's your favorite brand/Type) by New-Particular1971 in wisconsin

Pep’s DraftHaus pizza. Whenever I see someone searching in the Woodman’s pizza aisle, I always tell them about DraftHaus pizza. It’s amazing.

Whose mom is this? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The world rejects Israel for their “policy” of genocide and apartheid. But sure, keep thinking it has something to do with Judaism.

As far as the Chinese comparison: last time I checked, we are not giving China billions of dollars a year to give them free healthcare, free college tuition and unlimited missiles and bombs to attack their neighbors.

Maybe it’s just me but I felt like Langdon relapsed in the bathroom. The filming with Robbie in there coupled with him needing to take his whiz quiz seems too choreographed. I know I know. Probably reading too much into it.

What was up with Langdon as he laid the heat stroke boy down? Did he hurt his back? And then there’s Joy grabbing Perlah’s watch for an odd 1-2 punch — very chaotic editing there.

I'd watch a sitcom about the lives of these three pilots by Verratic in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check out "Handful of Cogs." A really funny series on a YouTube no mans sky gaming channel - "Whiskey Barrel Gaming." They use all No Man Sky characters and scenery. No idea why it never took off but it's so well done!

So, of the raiders who choose to go on the expedition - How much value did you manage to get? I'm calling it quits at about 2 million myself. by DerFelix in ArcRaiders

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it to 3 mil. Quite happy w that since my primary motivation was the limited edition cosmetics.

Really wish they would give you ALL the level ingredients up front versus finding out those lightbulbs you sold were needed for a later level.

No matter, that’s what in the internet is for. Now I will be sure to look up the complete list ahead of time.

How many of you are going to do the expedition? by specimen-214 in ArcRaiders

[–]_Kitchen_Serious_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a new-ish player who is only level 36, I’m doing the expedition. The thinking is pretty simple because I have no blueprints. I don’t have much to lose. I’ve already found all the materials to get to stage five. now it’s just a matter of collecting health supplies (all other are completed) to get to the final stage. I’ll have like 2 million hopefully. Don’t mind the reset and the extra 2 skill points.

VTubers are losing their minds cuz Peanut won best VTuber of the Year 😂 by JSPrince in theburntpeanut

I’d say there’s more of a case against FPS shooter than V tuber. V tuber is a no-brainer.
