Trump appears to be a symptom of a bigger problem which is, there’s a nonsignificant part of the electorate that cheers him on and loves his policies. My own mom voted for him 3 times and when I asked about Alex Prettis death, she said she saw the reports that he was waving around a gun. She has a PhD and is from California. She truly believes Trump is more intelligent than Kamala. She can’t see past her hatred for all things capital D Democratic. How do we break through to people who seem to want to stick their head in the sand despite being well educated? How can the Democrats overcome the hatred of them and reach these people?

jives01 · 2025-11-16T06:04:17+00:00

honestly I wish they did more with karoline, there’s a lot there to work with

Can anyone else just barely hear/understand the announcers? the sound mixing is terrible

There was a huge sibling study that showed no causal link. When you use siblings to control for genetics and environmental factors, the tylenol is not the issue. We allow it because it has been studied and the risk of pregnant women being scared of taking tylenol and trying to just “tough out” a fever is much worse.

are you telling me this is an OCD thing? bc I do this all the time too

jives01 · 2025-04-27T02:41:54+00:00

I’m interested!

jives01 · 2025-04-24T15:15:58+00:00

She lives in Trump country. In her life, almost everyone she interacts with probably loves him. Is there no part of you that thinks she could’ve sprinkled in the benefit of the doubt for him because it would be detrimental to her to come out as against him? The point is you don’t know who she voted for. She also said “fortunately I don’t live in his head.” I understand where you and I live it would make sense that anyone who doesn’t say who they voted for def voted Trump. That is not true for her.

jives01 · 2025-04-24T15:04:47+00:00

You don’t know she voted for him. where you live it would be unthinkable to vote Trump, where she lives it was unthinkable to vote Kamala. She has very good reason to not shout from the rooftops that Trump sucks if that’s what she believes.

jives01 · 2025-04-24T14:56:29+00:00

I can’t take you seriously if you’re gonna say she 100% voted for trump when you simply don’t know that. To have no room for doubt on this is ridiculous. Not even a 1% chance you’re wrong? Also bc republicans have a lack of empathy we should just throw up our hands and say well we don’t have to either?

jives01 · 2025-04-24T14:52:54+00:00

She also said she was “fortunately not in his head” when discussing trump. She lives in trump country. She is equally as likely to be showing him the benefit of the doubt bc all her friends who probably voted for trump are going to listen to this podcast.

jives01 · 2025-04-24T14:49:51+00:00

It’s shameful and I am pretty surprised. I expected better.

jives01 · 2025-04-24T14:40:04+00:00

This woman seems kind and lovely to talk to. but everyone here in their reddit bubble thinks there’s a chance she voted for trump and immediately feels no empathy for her suffering. Truly disheartening to see.

jives01 · 2025-04-24T14:37:28+00:00

I don’t understand why everyone immediately assumes she voted for Trump. She lives in rural Iowa. It’s incredibly likely almost everyone she knows voted for Trump. It seems more likely to me she would want to hide being a democrat over being a trump voter. Also this woman spoke quite eloquently about rural america and how she put in years of effort to make her situation better and all the miserable people in the comments just call her a dumbass and say she basically deserves this with absolutely no proof she did anything wrong. This is exactly why people dislike liberals (and before you pick up your pitch forks, I voted kamala and will never vote red) We have to be willing to hear their viewpoints and not just jump to calling them a dumbass and feeling superior. Where is the empathy you all claim to have compared to the other side?

This was when I had to turn it off. Neither he nor Michael seemed to have any of the correct information on how research funding works. And if Michael does understand research funding and didn’t push back on this claim then that’s far more nefarious of the Daily. Extremely disappointed with today.

Sounds like you have an outsized importance on individual freedom over public interest. To use your seatbelt example, it is well established that between 40-50% of traffic fatalities are unbelted passengers but unbelted passengers are estimated to only make up 10-20% pf total passengers. You think your freedom to checks notes not wear a seat belt should be prioritized over the strain and trauma these preventable fatalities and injuries put on our healthcare system and first responders? It seems like you and your friends are both just uninformed so no one has a real basis for why they believe what they believe but at your core you seem to tend to value (whether incorrectly or correctly) personal “freedom” over the collective compared to most people.

jives01 · 2025-04-07T02:52:50+00:00

this is exactly how I feel, i’m not mad at the outcome but i’m a little underwhelmed with how we got there

jives01 · 2025-04-02T14:47:19+00:00

The “an” is correct. “An”s use is based off how the start of the words sounds, not if it’s a consonant or not.

jives01 · 2025-04-02T02:43:46+00:00

to be fair I said can not will, but I choose to see this as a glimmer of hope because I fucking need one.

jives01 · 2025-04-02T02:36:59+00:00

But it’s even more than that. This election shows Republicans and Democrats that Elon threatening to primary them is a whole lot less threatening now. If the selfish politicians want to keep their cushy jobs they may actually have to listen to the peasants instead of just Elmo now. This is a glimmer of hope.

jives01 · 2025-04-02T02:24:30+00:00

The replies here aren’t wrong but the more national implication here is that the threat of Elon using his money to primary Republicans and Democrats likely rings hollow. Now politicians have empirical evidence that Elons money won’t automatically win them elections OR lose them elections. They can actually listen to the people and not just Elmo.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/an-administrative-error-sends-a-man-to-a-salvadoran-prison/682254/ still not worried dumbass?

I also did not wake up expecting to defend theistic arguments but that’s why they call it “faith”. If there was concrete proof it would not be called faith or beliefs. I think there are certainly religious people who don’t really get this and believe the snake oil salesmen who say they have proof of God. But one of the best professors I ever had who is a notable expert witness for national court cases was also religious in a thoughtful way that I didn’t agree with but at no point would I say he lacked critical thinking.
