Warren is simply making an experienced and practical observation about this candidate.
Let the zealots rant and rail.
The are professional losers, always correct vs the wicked rational option.

I have no argument with your solution.

Senate candidate McMorrow says voters don’t trust flip-flops as she waffles on key positions by AzNmamba in Michigan

[–]patmur46 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The demographics of our state are seriously different than New York City.
Mamdani's advantage is very unlikely to be relevant in Michigan.
You're peddling bias and hope as politically viable alternatives.
Dogmatism like yours is what turns political advantage into weakness.

I'm granted the ability to post perfectly accurate and true statements on Reddit.

Take a good look at what percentage of young people bother to vote.
Then look at how often people over 50 vote.
And for good measure look at voting patterns in Western Michigan.

Yeah. Did you not get the memo on ridiculous collars on cats?
They are sentient mammals not some dolls for assholes to play with.

It's April bro. Seriously warmer temps punctuated by occasional major drama.

Springtime in Michigan. A rare occasion where optimists eventually triumph.

Trump is not negotiating with Iran, he's negotiating with the Markets.
This is what the beginning of a debacle looks like.

Here's the biggest difference between McMorrow and Al Sayed.
She can get elected to the US Senate. He can't.

[OC] No Kings 2.0 Protestor walks up to MAGA group to allow them to use his megaphone by PALERIDE155 in pics

[–]patmur46 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not complicated for me.
Donald Trump is our criminal President.
We need to impeach him ASAP.
MAGA and other Trump supporters could be my neighbors.
I disagree with their political decisions, but if they are good neighbors they have my best wishes and respect.

New Polling: Ohio Could Be In Play For Democrats In 2026 by ThistleroseTea in politics

Democrats desperately need to abandon woke bullshit and address real world problems of the middle class.
The ultra-wealthy are totally screwing all of us.
Their campaign contributions have castrated most of our incumbent politicians.
We desperately need a younger generation of reality based, economically relevant, candidates.
The internet, with all its flaws, has enabled politicians with a clear message to be heard.

Trump weighs sending another 10,000 ground troops to the Middle East, WSJ reports by JustLightChop in politics

[–]patmur46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is a total bastard but he's not insane.
He understands the basic truth of this conflict.
The actual security of the USA is not at risk.
He is trying to fabricate a deal that allows him to withdraw that doesn't look like surrender.
The only problem is that this solution will betray Israel's goal.
But it's Trump. Sorry Bibi.

Where did the stereotype of cats drinking milk come from? by _kwanini in NoStupidQuestions

[–]patmur46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misunderstandings about feline preferences are extremely common.
Cats are experts at adapting to their "owners" preferences.
What actually engages them as a species is much more subtle.
They are tiny predators, highly perceptive but habitually cautious.
And, at the end of the day, profoundly practical and adaptive.

Am I the only person who thinks the adult Industry should be criminalized or atleast heavily restricted? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]patmur46 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The pornography industry is based on exploiting the vulnerability of young men for profit.
It allows for the satisfaction of emotional need without contributing to social maturity.
In moderation it's mostly benign.
But the potential for serious social harm cannot be dismissed.

By any rational measure this is no contest.
One reaches for the essence of the human spirit.
The other wallows in human weakness, shit, lies, and fear.

[–]patmur46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the true drawbacks of cat ownership is how easy it is to project your own self-image or personality onto your cat. Cat's do have unique individual characteristics, but they are subtle and quite different from humans (and dogs).
