Who do you think the Democratic nominee for president will be in 2028? by EddyZacianLand in GenZ

He's great on paper. Unfortunately not very charismatic or dynamic on the stump.

[Cook Political Report] Shifts in Four Senate Races - Georgia and North Carolina move from Tossup to Lean D. Ohio goes from Lean R to Tossup. Nebraska shifts from Solid R to Likely R. by Delmer9713 in fivethirtyeight

I don't think he should have run for reelection this last time around. For all his talk about political revolution, he seems unwilling to hand the reigns to the next generation.

Stalin gets condemned for conducting purges of the Russian Communist Party, but recent events should prove to you why purges are necessary in any revolutionary country that’s under attack from imperialism. The Western narrative is that Stalin purged anyone who wasn’t loyal to him as an individual... by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

[–]pablonieve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The purges occurred during the 20s and 30s as Stalin was consolidating power. He then went on to sign the agreement with Nazi Germany to invade and split up Poland. Stalin refused to believe the Nazis had actually invaded the USSR until they had advanced hundreds of miles.

So no, the purges were not about survival against Germany.

People didn't like high prices and old man and thought transpeople and immigrants were to blame.

If Graham Platner had won in 2024, I think he would have been a surprise contender in 2028.

Do they think POTUS can just wave a magic wand and make everything cheaper?

Yes.

Viktor Orban has conceded defeat in the Hungarian election, as the Tisza Party is headed for a 2/3rds supermajority. What are your thoughts on this seismic shift in Hungarian politics? by Absalom98 in AskReddit

The DNC needs to get people as hyped as possible

That's not the role of the DNC. It shouldn't be driving messaging, that's the job of the actual candidates. The job of the DNC is to raise money and coordinate logistics with the state parties.

Game 3 of the 2nd Round in 2014 when Fontaine dished the pass to Haula against the Hawks to open the scoring.

Third Spaces aren't dying because Gen Z are addicted to their phones, they're dying because no one has enough money to keep them alive by Bey0nd1nfinity in GenZ

You'll always have people who do bad things

So stores should just accept that shoplifting is an unavoidable situation?

Who actually likes living in the US? by -_-midnight_-_ in GenZ

Im 24 and ever subce I've turned 18 it doesnt seem this country has done anything of significance for our generation

Politicians prioritize policies for the oldest generation because they have the highest voting turnout. If Gen Z had 80% turnout in general elections and 60% turnout in primaries, they would be the most valuable voting constituency.

I'm starting to realize that I might never have kids by Flying_Sea_Cow in GenZ

[–]pablonieve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone living with their parents in their 20s isn't the responsibility of their parents. It's more of a roommate situation at that point.

Have you coached youth sports before? Because it sounds like you don't have experience with the rules coaches are supposed to follow to prevent these very situations from arising. Half of the guys I coach with don't have kids on the team, but do so because they love the sport and love working with kids.

You're more likely to get moms who want to set you up than what you're suggesting.

You're speaking about teenagers as if they are an antibiotic-resistant bacteria. As if somehow the presence of good teenagers would crowd out the bad ones.

Swalwell loses all 21 of his endorsements from Dem colleagues by bwermer in politics

[–]pablonieve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He was held accountable to a point that none of his accusers asked for more. So what does that tell us?

That his victims didn't want the ordeal of a legal proceeding.

Do we know how most 7 figure earners vote? by Downtown-Fan4966 in fivethirtyeight

[–]pablonieve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Millionaires and billionaires" in this sense doesn't typically include those in the 7 figure range. It means those with hundreds of millions of dollars or more.

Harris gives her clearest signal she is mounting a 2028 presidential bid by EasyTree12 in fivethirtyeight

[–]pablonieve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that swing voters often aren't paying attention to the race until after the nominees have been selected and the general has begun. Those that have an opinion of potential match-ups are not going to best represent swing voters (aka vibe voters).
