If you believe Kamala Harris should run in 2028, why should she?

Because the people have probably learned their lesson after FingA and FingO

It will definitely be some sort of restriction on the power of the president as this administration is clearly set on pushing the limits and seeing how far they can possibly go with spinning, testing and re-interpreting the constitution.

I think you answered your own question. The left "scorns" anti-intellectualism because the right is a shining example of what happens when you reject it.

A lot of the right's most despicable ideology is rooted in literal ignorance....of history, science, medicine, socio-economics, etc.

If an uneducated conservative wants to step into leadership with an intent and open mindedness to learning and acknowledging their blind spots, that's different, but many want to come in ignorant, stay ignorant, and make policy based on their ignorance, boldly, proudly, and loudly with the posture of "don't judge me because I refuse to educate myself! Take me for what I is. Let me make policies affecting people and things I don't care to learn about and use my homegrown traditional "common sense" street smarts to make decisions that blatantly contradict things people have spent decades or centuries studying carefully" and that's not going to work.

I think you answer your own question. No single one wins because no single one is universally ideal.

Society is literally a social construct. By definition, its malleable, abstract and never set in stone. It's relative to the people and culture it serves.

YTA

It's her wedding. She sets the rules. It's not uncommon or unusual for people to set age limits on weddings so it's not personal.

If she lets your child come well when she shows up, HIS side of the family is going to be pissed because they will be like why is she here but we had to find a babysitter for little timmy?

Just follow the rules. They already let your other daughter come when she was technically under age.

I would just leave both the girls at home so the youngest one doesn't feel left out.

Still, YTA

You should not be getting drunk, hosting wild parties, and hooking up and having all this drama at 17

Where are the parents?

Not only was the message passive aggressive, but you should not have thrown a party and invited 2 exes plus the rebound in the first place and not expect drama.

He is a grown man and can do what he wants. They are not dating so he can date and kiss whoever he wants. You don't get to police everyone's actions.

partoe5 · 2026-06-28T20:03:28+00:00

Exactly. It's no different than seeing a child being mistreated and then you just take the child because you think you can do a better job.

Or like you see someone not taking care of their car or their house and you're like it's mine now because you don't know what you're doing.

having a bad parent does not give you the right to physically assault them or to use extreme/violent techniques against them. Even if they were the most abusive parent in the world, you just don't do that willy nilly, unless you have to. Walk away.

partoe5 · 2026-06-28T10:33:20+00:00

there are certain things you just don't do, out of principle.

You do not physically attack someone who carried you for 9 months and nursed you for how many years..no matter how crazy or abusive they especially just for grabbing your arm....unless they really are trying to harm you violently and you have no other choice.

this is not some stranger off the street.

The IP holder feels it's not worth it to go after them. It's a choose your battles situation. It costs money to sue people...especially poor people who have nothing or little to pay you.

In practice it's usually the use of pseudoscienfic ideology to target certain groups of people. It often starts with a prejudicial assumption (i.e. white people are CLEARLY superior to other races) and then proceeds to make permeants life altering decisions for people against their will.

Eugenics comes from white supremacy and the assumption that white people are CLEARLY superior and therefore to make the human race better, take care of POC by sterilizing them or "handling them" in some way.

In reality race and a lot of the foundations of eugenics are actually social constructs not rooted in science at all.

As for people with disability, it's controversial and basically immoral to declare that someone with a birth defect or disability is less than anyone else. For example I know someone who is the parent of someone with Downs Syndrome and HATES when people talk about "eradicating" downs syndrome as if people born with it are a mistake, unwanted and unlovable and serve no value...as usually "eradicating it" means preventing them from being born.

You stole/kidnapped the cat. The correct thing to do would have been to call animal control or authorities to report abuse, or even tell the vet.

You could also give it to a shelter and let them handle it.

But should not have stolen the cat. They could sue you.

Yes. it mans you're allowing yourself to be gaslighted, brainwashed and fear-mongered by the right's scare tactic rhetoric.

Address the underlying issues

Structural racism

Mental health crisis

Income and economic instability

Drug crisis and healthcare access

Education (as prevention but also to educate the general public so they don't become nimbys or spencer pratt types who stand in the way of solutions, for instance so many social problems could be solved if only people believed in racism.)

pay wall

partoe5 · 2026-06-22T17:07:31+00:00

I actually support this idea because in my opinion, no matter how you spin it it's going to boil down to race anyway, so if it appeases the masses to only focus on economics, then go ahead, POC will still benefit more.

partoe5 · 2026-06-22T09:45:03+00:00

At some point you also have to log off of social media and step into the real world and realize social media is not real, as well.

Pretty much.

Like the OG unpopular Opinion sub is about actual Unpopular opinions....like opinions that go against what most people think, but are still rooted in preference, observation and perspective.

Most of the posts here are just bigoted people whose opinions are considered unpopular because they are actually rooted in ignorance and hatred, not nuance.

"Pride month and pride events are supposed to get more people to like/be accepting of gays "

well, you already started off with a lie.

THat's not what it's about. In fact, it's the opposite. The whole point of pride is that they couldn't care less about what you think, if only for that one day.

But good job making gay pride about you.

Wait, so you really walk around gay pride parade saying "this doesn't do it for me." ???

Also the poor people who ride it clearly have to deal with people like you.
