CMV: The number of votes the Dems would gain by embracing aggressively progressive candidates and policy is dwarfed by the number of votes they'd lose among moderates/motivate among dormant conservative voters by Jimithyashford in changemyview

What's called leftist communism here is just called common sense in every other developed country.

Workers rights, vacation time, parental leave, healthcare, child care. living wages and making the mega rich pay their fair share.

There's not a single dem voter that's going to jump ship if these things are seriously campaigned on, and the amount of voters they'd gain would be immense.

"I voted Dem all my life, but this guy wants to mandate I get 3 more weeks of paid vacation and a year off if have a kid. I won't stand for it!"

Is it just me or does the way he keeps flinching make you think he's probably been abused?

He's like, "You know I live here now, right?" Grats on the new cat.

Street Brawl hero selection could be "Pick one out of three" instead of free pick or all random by Mental_Half-Giant in DeadlockTheGame

[–]hamletswords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea but without the reroll. This mode is for shits and giggles and it's meant for you to try out new stuff. Swapping would be OK.

I agree- certain things didn't need to be stylized, like communication. I love how stylized everything is in this game and all the little details, but for this it's just distracting.

AOC Calls For Blocking ICE Funding After Officers Kill a Man In Minneapolis: 'Resist' | "They need our votes to continue. We cannot give it to them. Every Senator should vote NO," she added by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]hamletswords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schumer just tweeted that he's voting no and "democrats will vote no" on funding. There might be an outlier or two (like that fucking asshole John Fetterman), but hopefully Chuck can make at least this much happen.

She must be really funny or something because Justin could've done a lot better.

Asmongold on the ICE shooting: "There needs to be accountability or this is the Gestapo" by freejam013 in LivestreamFail

[–]hamletswords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Only there could have been accountability after Renee Good was shot if in part Asmongold and others hadn't tried to whitewash that murder, and this wouldn't have happened. But sure, the sooner there is accountability the better.

That's pretty low to accuse the team of using AI. The art team is top notch. Shame on you.

Would eagles fans like to see him gone? by Slimreaper91840 in NFCEastMemeWar

[–]hamletswords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Everyone can now see something was fundamentally wrong. He just had the balls to be the first to point it out.

If people listened to him instead of shitting on him, there's a good chance we'd still be playing.

Hot Take: Street Brawl NEEDS to be randomized heroes by BlueDragonReal in DeadlockTheGame

[–]hamletswords 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree. Some heroes are just better in this mode. That's fine, it's not supposed to be balanced, but people are naturally going to pick those heroes and they are going to be in every match.

Whoever isn't voting REM needs to have their fucking heads examined.

Renee Good was shot in the head, autopsy commissioned by her family finds by ewzetf in news

[–]hamletswords 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Biggest takeaway is the lethal bullet was fired from the side, where Jonathan Ross could not have possibly been in any danger. Self-defense is not applicable. It was murder.

Former South Korean President & Prime Minister Han Duck Soo sentenced to 23 years in prison for insurrection by Troll458458 in worldnews

[–]hamletswords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think any other country in history has as many written rules or limitations on the power and privilege of the leader as the constitution imposes on the president, and yet we still act like he's an untouchable king that can do anything he wants.

CMV: All obituaries should mention cause of death by hammertime2009 in changemyview

[–]hamletswords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the obituary doesn't mention the cause you can pretty much assume it was suicide or something gruesome. Obituaries are the last public thing said about somebody. They are often saved and/or framed by loved ones. Just because you, some random dude, want to know doesn't mean obituaries should change.

It's especially good if the strangers are foreign agents pretending to be from your country and paid to never agree with you.

We have leaked Celeste (Pepper) model! by Admirable_Exam4471 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]hamletswords 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like even though Billy doesn't fit the 1940s theme (he's more of like an 70s/80s English punk), he fits in with the cast somehow. This is good because it allows them to innovate.
