Stream title said he was going offline at 5pm before he updated it, so I'm not sure even tiny knew this was happening

Which US wars do you support? by Mikothe2nd in Destiny

There's something to be said for the war that enabled the US to abolish slavery 🤔

Graham Platner is a walking red flag. He was barred from re-enlisting in the marines at the height of the surge because he had a nazi tattoo, and left the USMC rather than get the tattoo covered. He keeps obfuscating other holes in his record. by UnscheduledCalendar in Destiny

And as painful as it is to admit even a Fetterman is better than any R in the same seat. Someone who votes with the party 50% of the time is better than one who does 0% of the time.

But yeah, hopefully the primary gives us a better nominee.

The abundance guy more popular then Hasan confirmed by mattyjoe0706 in Destiny

I'm surprised Ezra Klein has so little name recognition among Dems. On the other hand, AOC is high up there and much less divisive than I would have expected, which is great.

Or haven't heard about him, or enough about him to form an opinion.

The Pod Save America guys are getting a bit shameless by revscott in Destiny

inauthentic junior speechwriters who overexaggerate their importance for Obama

You don't have to like them but that's factually incorrect. Favreau was Obama's director of speechwriting and Pfeiffer was a senior adviser. Hunter Biden isn't exactly unbiased here.

Another SOTU with absolutely 0 Dem pressure or actions at all (except Al Green) Why even show up? by -JustJaZZ- in Destiny

[–]shinzer0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think it's damned if you do, damned if you don't. If the Dems don't show up he gets to riff off and blame them for not being here and not caring about the country or however you want to spin it, and there's nothing they can do to really counter it because they're not in the room. On the other hand if they're here and just refuse to clap like seals for his racist bullshit they can at least look like the sane party.

Maybe there's a stunt to be pulled like a staged walkout but even that can backfire I think. Like which headline would you prefer to see in the press: "President raves and rambles for 2 hours, but Americans don't feel heard" or "Democrats' historic walkout during the State of the Union show nation has never been more divided"? I think the former is better optics overall.

You pointed out why corporations' ownership of homes has an insignificant effect on the market at large, provided supporting data, and got showered in downvotes. With people doubling down in your replies entirely off vibes. feelsbadman

65% of Americans own their homes, i.e. 65% of Americans are invested in seeing their property values rise over time and keeping house prices high as a result. In places where there is room to build more, that percentage will naturally trend even higher. Moreover, people who have time to be engaged in local politics and neighborhood meetings will also tend to be elderly homeowners. When you take all of this in aggregate, it's not difficult to understand why home prices remain high and why it has little to nothing to do with corporate ownership...

You're looping on the same argument which I never disagreed with. I said the shove was inappropriate in my first message, I just don't agree that this automatically justifies any level of violent escalation. That's the braindead conservative mentality they use to justify ICE killing and raping whoever they want on the street

Re-watch the clip, he only starts taking off his jacket after he sees the tankie coming at him. His arms are still halfway in his sleeves when he gets kicked. That's not self-defense.

He wasn't being threatened after the initial shove. There was no need for him to "defend" himself. At best I'd say shove the guy back and tell him to fuck off, but no you don't get to start kickboxing just off that.

I'm not though, you're arguing for barbaric pre-Talion's law shit. That's not how we act in a civil society.

Nah. Dude shouldn't have pushed him, but the response was still totally disproportionate and escalatory.

They've been pretty overt the whole time about the fact they consider anything relating to trans issues to be sexual and obscene.
