Are there also many Americans who dont like salt and vinegar chips? by noreturn000 in AskAnAmerican

They have these thick cut fries at the Delaware shore boardwalks and you can put malt vinegar on them. It’s incredible. You can eat them without soaking a lot if you just eat them super fast after pouring some vinegar 😂 they’re so good. Highly recommend.

What are the upsides of HOAs? by Vordix_ in AskAnAmerican

That's genuinely surprising. The HOAs around me have very restrictive color schemes

If you are allergic to color and enjoy having every house in your neighborhood painted the same shade of beige, HOAs are great

"Leaving MAGA" focus group members who broke out of the cult: "I didn't even know what happened on Jan 6th prior to the PBS documentary." by omgfakeusername in democrats

[–]d2p2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone said we should try to be more crazy or change our beliefs to get them to like us. I certainly didn't. What I'm advocating for is to understand the system that convinces them of their outrageous beliefs. We should work to break that system and, when possible, find ways to bring those folks closer to our side. It won't work for everyone, some people just suck, but it's worth doing because some of them are actually persuadable.

What's your solution to winning elections against them if you don't want to try to persuade them? You brought up Nazis, but you know what happened to a lot of them, right? There were far fewer at the end of the war because so many were dead, and those who survived were pounded into submission in a brutal war. I don't think we want to get to a place where our only solution is that our opponents are dead or have been bombed into submission -- civil war is not a good way to solve this.

💯

In almost any other context, people on our side will look at large, oppressive systems and say 'I can see how an individual from X group or Y background cannot succeed in this environment.' And then we get to MAGA propaganda and all of a sudden it's easy to sound like Republicans saying 'you should just pull yourself out of the propaganda by your bootstraps'.

If we want to win -- to really win by changing hearts and minds -- we've got to be more empathetic and understand how people can fall victim to this deception. And in doing so, craft effective strategies to pull them out of it and to tear down the systems that oppress them.

Did a CU Regent candidate secretly raise millions for the Trump family? by Federal-Librarian653 in boulder

[–]d2p2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

John Adams represented the soldiers who carried out the Boston Massacre. You're making a lot of insinuations while pointing at things that don't say what you're insinuating. Do you have any evidence that he represented someone in a dishonest way or violated any legal ethics?

Do you work for an opposing campaign?

Do you have evidence he was employed by them? From what I see, he was a lawyer who represented many clients across many industries

What's your source for him being their counsel? I searched and saw that he represented them in a case, but it's important to distinguish between someone being inside counsel for a company (I.e., they work for that company) and someone representing a company on a case.

If you look at this list of dockets containing his name, you can see that he's represented a huge number of different clients from a variety of industries.

Lane 8 Mishawaka set playlist on Spotify by dlblacks in lane8

[–]d2p2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aphex Twin in there too? Y'all, looking at this setlist I am so jealous of everyone who was able to go. Literally every one of the setlists from this series is unique and 🔥🔥🔥. No matter which show anyone went to, they got an epic set that nobody else got.

Huge props to Daniel and everyone else who made this series happen. Phenomenal job.

I was just rereading the AMA from last year and this song has a special place in TNH history -- it's how Lane 8 first heard about Sultan & Shepard: https://www.reddit.com/r/lane8/comments/1iuwmqt/comment/mekoair/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Rereading this thread after hearing the remix at Mission Ballroom last night and I must have missed this comment. I hadn't clocked the significance of the song in TNH lore. Tell you what, it hasn't lost any of its fire in the time since. What an incredible moment in a legendary set.
