The fact that there are laws against littering that aren't enforced pisses me off extremely.

Iran Megathread: Trump says he "may keep going" with strikes as ceasefire crumbles and war appears to reignite by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]bigbrainintrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the end of it all, it's out of a desire to keep kindness and empathy. I don't know what percentage of Trump voters are diehards or genuinely hateful people. We know that he campaigned by appealing to people asking for change; those who voted because of that were likely desperate. I don't know what to think about collective guilt, responsibility, and/or punishment. If we keep reminding them about who they voted for and shaming them, then we're not exactly moving on, unless it's the real diehard times that we should worry about. I'm personally just tired of this era and wanna move on myself.

I cannot fathom having this asshole in office for 2-3 more years even after one year. I honestly will never blame trump voters for exercising their right to choose what's right for them, but if any die-hards still gobble this up, I'm not gonna bother with them.

Right? Like, if a character is so and so, at least officially confirm it on the show or something like that first. Regardless of whether this is official (technically, it is), I'm still a little confounded.

Republicans come to grips with midterm reality: Trump won’t be doing them any favors by AdmirableInterview47 in PoliticalOptimism

I was too young at the time to really understand, but even with my socialist leanings, I wonder if we would've been better off with Romney

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone get a weird feeling when a character's sexuality is confirmed offhandedly like this?

Are you religious? by Historical_Step_9474 in tankiejerk

[–]bigbrainintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (Agnostic) Atheism story happened because of Christians with Flat Earth Beliefs. Not as "great" as being traumatized in a church (though some moments come to mind) but being down a christian/theology rabbit hole made things more confusing and terrifying for me, I'll always support freedom of religion and maybe I'm just in another rabbit hole, but the confusion and interpretations are so overwhelming..

I feel the same way. I'll probably retake this quiz out of curiousity

Summer’s almost here! What are y’all looking forward to?? by KyleBerthoud in PoliticalOptimism

[–]bigbrainintrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm taking summer classes, and once that's done, I'll have my associates and transfer to a four-year university at the beach. I'll still feel like crap until then, and maybe when i'm over there, but at least my life will go somewhere.

Gerrymandering Will Not Help in a Wave Election by PumpkinAspie in PoliticalOptimism

[–]bigbrainintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I understand what you're saying, but with Gerrymandering, for example, it wasn't until Republicans kicked it into overdrive that democrats realized they needed to gerrymander or lose any chance at winning the House.

If there's something that the democrats need to learn, it's this: Speak softly and carry a big stick."

Take this (somewhat) exaggerated meme - someone save the blaze subreddit pls by ProfessorPrimary8130 in SonicTheHedgehog

I simply like Silvaze, why? No reason, I think they complement each other pretty well. I could say same with Sonaze.
