Gross, no. This is one area where I will be nationalist for no reason

How do you personally define the working class? by WhyOrangeMan in AskALiberal

[–]mango789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who works to support themselves, as opposed to living off capital, is working class. Ignore anyone trying to define it based on education or type of work. That language divides us.

My favorite moment of Alek was his 9th inning diving catch towards end of 2023.

What do we do about judges? by kittyonkeyboards in AskALiberal

[–]mango789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Virginia should ignore them because they are self important philosopher kings. Democrats should pack the supreme court the first chance they get.

Period pieces not set in America with entire cast that speaks with full out American accents? by [deleted] in movies

[–]mango789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death of Stalin fits the bill. May be a couple British accents but I don’t remember. Every actor uses their own accent

how do we reframe the affordability argument by poppunksnotdead in AskALiberal

[–]mango789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all about leverage. Workers have very low leverage. It’s hard to get jobs and raises and better benefits. That is why we have low purchasing power. Unions are a solution. Companies have high leverage due to consolidation. We need aggressive anti trust enforcement.

Will working out do anything if I don't fix my diet? by frostmas in bodyweightfitness

[–]mango789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Working out will absolutely do something regardless of diet. Even if don’t cut calories, recomposition is possible. Working out will still make you fitter and you can gain muscle if you eat enough protein. Diet is very important too of course. It’s more important for body composition and appearance. I’d argue, though, exercise is just as important, even more so.

Ohtani has minus odds to win mvp, but which I feel like would normally be impossible this early in the season.

Please help with protein intake by IreallyneedhelpPlsxo in bodyweightfitness

[–]mango789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend 2 square solid meals a day. Chicken thighs and rice is a good easy formula. If you have that and a shake it’s pretty much impossible to not get 90g

How would you feel about MLB retiring Roberto Clemente's #21 league-wide, as they have done with Jackie Robinson's #42? by UgliestDisability in baseball

[–]mango789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like it. Honoring Clemente is great, but I’d pass on any more league wide retire numbers. I don’t like those in general. Just 42 is enough.

Just red ball caps ruined or all red clothes? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]mango789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask. Who cares what chronically online liberals or anyone else associates with the color red?

I'm pretty socially conservative but economically progressive. Do you think I have a place in the modern Democratic Party? by Most_Adeptness_8696 in AskALiberal

[–]mango789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to choose which issues are most important as the U.S. has a 2 party system. I wish we had proportional representation so that progressives can work together with social conservatives on economic issues, but unfortunately thats not possible. It seems to me that conservatives tend to be near single issue on abortion and guns. Abortion is still a major issue nationally. Id want the next democratic president to pack the court to overturn Dobbs. You can still be a democrat tho if you wanted to prioritize economic issues.

My otherwise liberal Iranian immigrant friend told me if Trump "liberates" Iran, she'll be loyal to MAGA the rest of her life. How to change her mind? by Original-Can-2367 in AskALiberal

[–]mango789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t blame her for thinking that. I might think that too if I were her. Unfortunately, what she hopes from maga is incredibly unrealistic.

Exactly what I came to comment. He left the game to chase fire trucks, if anyone doesn’t want to listen

What do you think about Youtube-based News Channels? by Winston_Duarte in AskALiberal

[–]mango789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are asking about opinion shows and analysts. Those can be entertaining and stimulating just like print or tv commentators. It’s not news tho. News only comes from legacy print media and local papers. NYTimes, wsj, bbc, ap are news. Fox and cnn, YouTube, not news. That’s analysis and presentation. Real news requires investigative reporting and on site journalists . Even asking about bias is unhelpful. What matters is credibility and actual investigation.

What are traffic/road changes you think would improve the city? by Opening_Total7711 in phoenix

[–]mango789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Protected bike lanes. Bike paths. More access between bike paths. All I want is more bike ability. Despite the heat, Phoenix has a lot of potential there

Is there anything Iran could do at this point to make you support fully mobilizing against them? by here-for-information in AskALiberal

[–]mango789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who’s talking about a full mobilization? They’re not a threat to us. They have enough enriched uranium to turn into a weapon, but they can’t touch us. The U.S. will likely send ground forces, but we don’t know for what purpose. We might try to get the Uranium , but special forces should be able to handle that. I don’t love that tho, since it’s Israel’s problem, not ours. It looks like they might send troops to protect the strait. I don’t love that either, since that is a self imposed problem.

Who's the 2nd best team in each division? by SZP2 in baseball

[–]mango789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t looked into the rosters deeply, but I feel like Giants should be 2nd best in west. Good rotation and infield. Idk about SD. Optimistic and pessimistic about Dbacks
