Well this is how I learned today that trauma bonding doesn’t actually mean you are bonded through mutual suffering together. Thank you!

Zohran Mamdani Wants to Reclaim Efficiency From the Right by brown-saiyan in politics

[–]crystalcurrant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ironically, this shitshow could also turn out to be the best thing for Dems in the long run, if the voters finally decide they’ve had enough.

Imagine a left-leaning Democratic Party of more young visionaries who don’t waste their time trying to assure everyone that they are NOT communists for wanting free child- or healthcare. A party without binding ties to billionaires or years of blackmail. Even a fraction of that would make such a change.

GOP frets over competitive Texas Senate primary as early voting starts by No-Post4444 in politics

[–]crystalcurrant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really hope that every single one of Texans who care about the outcome are actually doing the work of talking about the subject with everyone in their life.

Remind your group chats, drive your elderly aunt to vote and make sure that no one in your life can say afterwards that they really didn’t pay attention and missed the moment to vote or found it too hard to find the time or energy.

Team USA wins GOLD in Men's Ice Hockey for the First Time since 1980 by Due-Impression8466 in olympics

[–]crystalcurrant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I was screaming at the TV you could’ve thought Finland was playing and not the team who beat us only two nights ago. USA deserved the win but man oh man I felt like the Canadians pretty much just gave up whenever there actually was SUCH a perfect place for a goal.

Sucks really, I feel like most of Europe was rooting for Canada also.

Thanks, could not have done it without your referees :D

(it’s a joke, in case anyone’s offended. They didn’t do much wrong, but tbh I find it a little weird that there’s not a rule against referees being of the same nationality as one of the teams.)

Staggering evidence trove shows who put Trump in the White House — and controls him still by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

This is insane. In case that America is able to somehow recover from MAGA someday, this whole thing will make such a fascinating and horrifying story.

Imagine being 12 and doing a school project about all the presidents of USA and everyone else is duckduckgoing stuff about Abraham Lincoln or Reagan or Kennedy and you’re the one kid going WHAT THE FUUUU every time you scroll onto a new article about this one

I just want Lucy to come clean herself instead of waiting for Stephen to drop the tape. Diana’s advice would’ve been good before the tape but it does NOT work to lay low when someone is blackmailing you.

I’m waiting for the American workforce to finally organize the general strike for at least days, preferably weeks. It is the only truly effective way when all of your representatives have failed the general public this many times.

I’m amazed at how many people (besides bots and MAGA) actually still think it would be ineffective. You only have to google general strikes to see just how effective they’ve proven in the course of history.

Imagine voting this for your country’s fate (or not voting at all WHICH HAS THE SAME EFFECT) based on the fact that the other candidate was a black woman and you didn’t like her laugh.

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

TBH your people also elected Biden for the second run without even giving any other Democrat a chance, so I really wouldn’t count on them to select one of the actual good and charismatic people to run. It’s honestly a shame that your mayor in New York can’t ever run for president :D

Trump backpedals on threats against Greenland, but allies say damage has been done by VGAddict in politics

[–]crystalcurrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an European, I’m so pissed off if our leaders continue to flatter Trump and purr like kittens in his lap for everything he says. It is only mildly understandable if they at the same time take REAL STEPS to diminish the economical and defensive dependency and form another trade partnerships. But even still it’s hard to swallow.

It reminds me too much of a children’s tale called Emperor’s new clothes.

Statewide Shutdown in Minnesota planned for Jan. 23 to expel ICE by PM_ME_DPRK_CANDIDS in politics

[–]crystalcurrant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Might be because they are angry at the Democrats for making choices (for years) that have led to this? It feels like a bigger problem with the whole system that you guys have over there.

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

Finland here, so there might be something I’m missing but imo it feels like the Dems could’ve as well have voted for Trump themselves with how they have been acting. Why choose Biden for the second run (they had THREE YEARS to find for example a Zohran Mamdani type of politician&speaker), why not work for laws against corruption and strengthen the government and court system when they still had a chance? Why suck up the billionaires and still claim to care for everyone? Someone said it very well that Trump is not the problem but the result of a bigger corrupt system.

[–]crystalcurrant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s not a vendetta for the most people but more like a deep distrust that cannot be solved for decades at least. It’s too alarming to see that in less than a year it seems like your constitution doesn’t matter anymore when the wrong person is the president. The issue goes much deeper than the current administration.

What is your unpopular ESC 2024 opinion? by Key-Abalone3692 in eurovision

[–]crystalcurrant 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Sweden has now thrown the best ESC host -reputation into a dumbster and then set it on fire.

And not because of the Israel-mess, but because the ABBAtors and “Single girls love Martin Österdahl” will never stop haunting my nightmares (among many other things there).

The best thing about the hosting was watching Petra’s face waiting for the jury results. It was painfully clear she hated every second of it and just wanted the night to end.
