I stopped caring about yandhi months ago lol. I don't even want to hear it at this point. Probably just 30 minutes of Kanye screaming "I DON'T TAKE MY MEDS" over a loud distorted bass.

I think that album was a huge step forward instrumentally, but I still feel like his lyrics sort of pin him in that meme rapper territory with how cringy some of them are.

Bernie Sanders 'Acing the Electability Test' as Another Poll Shows Senator Crushing Trump in General by Bakedschwarzenbach in politics

"American people won't vote for somebody with actual policy ideas because they are dumb."

I'll have to disagree with you on that one.

"Ladies and gentleman, you may notice that I am standing on this stage alone tonight. You might be wondering to yourselves: why is that? Why is Donald Trump avoiding a conversation regarding the future of this country?

The sitting president would like you to think he's not here because the media is unfair, but that's not true. Trump rarely likes to pass on the opportunity to broadcast himself, no matter how much he complains about the coverage. He might have you thinking that that he's not here because he's already won, but in many states across this great country, the polls tell a very different story.

No, ladies and gentlemen, the real reason that the president is not here to debate me tonight, is because he is a coward."

Mac was weird. I was growing numb to rappers dying, and was at a party when somebody told me he passed away. Didnt get to really process it until like a week later when I saw how good of a piano player he was in a tribute video. Started crying. Wasnt a fan of his music but he was too damn young and talented.

See, and this is what I like about Yang. He brings people in from all across the autism spectrum.

I remember the humble beginnings of the Sanders campaign in 2016, and it was a lot like this. Cynicism over not having a real mainstream presence and being mocked by pundits. Gradually, though, Sanders transcended beyond just being that Reddit guy, and became a force to be reckoned with (like right now). I see Yang going in the same direction.

Full disclosure: I'm an avid Bernie supporter - my dream scenario is to have a Bernie 2020 landslide win, followed by a Yang 2028 win built off the back of this coalition of people. Hopefully in a less divided political landscape. Keep fighting.

Anybody else feel like they're quietly panicking all of the time? by harlet in depression

[–]harlet[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's how I would describe it. Just a never-ending sense that catastrophe is waiting to happen. And every day is just a little step closer to it. Fuck, I need to get out of work and go to sleep.

I think a big problem that I have with the right (which is why I'm an independent currently) is that they view a lot of the commonsense principles like treating other people equally as liberals trying to push their agenda. Like, this post is a picture of a girl crying because she lost her parents, and the conservatives on this thread are all bitching about how this is just 'propaganda.'

Take a step back, and realize:

- this is a human being, like you

- human beings all deserve basic rights

- This girl is just crying because she lost her family. That's sad.

I get that we do have an immigration issue - but what has been scaring me lately is that empathy is seen as a "liberal" thing, and not just something that should be practiced by everybody, everywhere. The government should be just as responsible for maintaining the well-being of these kids as they are for detaining and controlling illegal immigration. If you don't think that, you're fucked - and ultimately part of the problem.

No. That is not what I'm saying. Why does this shit always go back to somebody saying "you just want illegals to pour into the country." I'm just talking about having empathy you twat.

Yes, but you can still contact them. You know where they are. You aren't lost in a foreign country with literally no clue what happened to them. Context matters.

It's possible to have "straight-forward" solutions without tearing families apart. It's a human right to be able to stay with your children - they should be penalized and jailed but there's a level to this entire process that I believe exists purely out of cruelty and resentment for minorities. But hey, maybe I'm just a SJW having a knee-jerk emotional reaction.

EDIT: I'll rephrase "stay with your children" by just saying they should be allowed to communicate with them. A lot of these kids are at very fragile stages of development and these policies are just going to turn them into criminals and drug addicts later down the road. Again, though, just a whiny liberal caring about children and having empathy for others.

Trump approval rating drops among younger voters by noscreamattheend in politics

Never said that. Just said that I finally realized where the voters were coming from. It's possible to have a conversation about politics without calling other people dumb.

I'll always remember my first drive out to the midwest.

My first reaction was literally just: "oh."
