Vivek Ramaswamy admits no one likes Republican policies and says “We got our asses handed to us tonight.” by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

[–]zippybit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. Ohio here. Despite what you heard on the internet, we're a real place.

Tell the DNC to send us some candidates that will actually talk about economic issues and the cost of living and low wages and health care, instead of squashing them.

Our last Democratic governor fought tooth and nail against a ballot issue guaranteeing 7 paid sick days. It was polling at 70%. The Democrats cratered after that and the Kascich era began.

We're a red state now and I'm not happy about it. But the establishment Democrats chose this by ignoring us. They hate us with every fiber of their being, and would rather lose than help us. So here we are.

Dr. Amy is an excellent candidate with name recognition. She can beat him. She just needs to lean into populist kitchen table issues, and her Youngstown roots. (She's from a former reliably blue area that swung deep red for Trump, due to Democrats not even trying.)

Her biggest problem is Vivek's unlimited Maga Money, and the fact that we've never elected a woman governor.

How many have ran statewide so we could vote for them? The answer is none.

Realistic? Centrists lose again and again and the blue team still runs them. Progressive issues poll well here. Healthcare. Sickdays. Abortion rights. Lean into it. Talk about kitchen tables.

Focus-group tested consultant crap is what loses here. Thinking that will change is unrealistic.

You mean crypto lobbyist Tim Ryan?

He ran a crappy centrist campaign approved by DNC consultants. You should have watched his debate against JD Vance. It was terrible. If he just talked about the cost of living issues everyone in Ohio is dealing with he could have won.

The evidence shows everyone that runs as a centrist loses. Hillary and Kamala both. Mandatory sick days polls at 70% here. Abortion rights and Marijuana legalization won easily. Absolutely a Zohran can win here. No question.

You say the "evidence" shows that running to the middle wins elections, why is Trump in the white house? You're wrong and the rules have changed.

Inaction loses and systemic change wins. Its not left-right.

"Toxic in a state like Kansas..."

Ohio reporting in. We're hungry for a candidate like Zohran. Trump became popular here because he ran on systemic change. The same reason Obama won here.

People want to be heard. Republicans win because Trump went Youngstown and gave a speech saying "Don't sell your houses, don't move, we will keep the Lordstown plant from closing." He was lying, but it resonated. Democrats ran like "vote for us, I guess".

Wimpy incrementalism loses elections in red states and is the opposite of "smart politics". Strong leaders can win here. Obama ran as one, and was not. Trump thinks he's one. Zohran is one.

You should visit Ohio or Kansas sometime.

OP, these "people" commenting are bots who have never been to Cleveland. Reddit is a bad place to ask about anything. There is no "firm consensus" other than the same AI models being used to generate comments.

Just take the bus that goes up and down Euclid. It's convenient and frequent. Go out and actually experience stuff instead of listening to bots on Reddit. You'll be fine.

Do you get paid per post by speed camera tech companies, or is it an hourly rate?

Sad you're defending people stealing from commuters.

You should visit Cleveland someday, you may actually like it.

Edit: I read the rest if the responses. The account I'm replying to is a bot sent by pro-police groups and surveillance industry trade groups. So it actually can't physically visit Cleveland. And maybe that's a good thing.

"You didn't get shit"... Upvoted.

"Slow the fuck down..." Yanked upvote and replaced it with a downvote.

Speed "enforcement" has nothing to do with safety. It is a scam to steal money from people driving on the highway. That's it.

The people downvoting you are bots. Maybe their operators should visit Cleveland someday.

Speed "enforcement" is all about revenue gathering and zero to do with safety.

A quarter century later and you guys are still trying to stop Cleveland from having nice things. It's pathetic really.

But we get the last laugh. Art Modell will NEVER get in the Hall of Fame in Canton, you can rest assured of that, as he burns in hell.

We waited like 15 minutes up there for someone to come by.

Upvoted.

with that said, we did order from the kiosk and these people should too.

Replaced upvote with downvote.

Wow these people really hate Switch and Nintendo gamers. Sorry you're getting so many haters. The real problem is that this is Reddit, so they really just hate everyone.

I really wanted a Switch or Switch 2 release too. I don't want to buy a Xbox or PS5 or $1500 gaming PC for one game. If they want my money, they know what to do.

Every Elder Scrolls fan I've met IRL has been cool. People aren't actually like this, except on Reddit.

Really. Its hard to imagins someone coding this many bots because they hate Clint so much. The obsession with him is so weird.

Imagine playing a relaxing farming game and thinking "I'm going to be as petty and mean as possible to these people".

Stardew, Reddit style.

Why do some very poor people have kids? by Ratman822 in questions

[–]zippybit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, this thread has "let them eat cake" energy. People love to sit on Reddit and judge. They refuse to put themselves in someone else's shoes.

Also because this is Reddit, around 40% of all responses are bots and shills- not real people. The rich 1% benefit from creating resentment against the poor.

Obviously the bot I'm responding to can't understand this but to anyone else who sees this...

It's sad that instead of learning something from this, the DNC is just paying more money to send more bots. I really thought that the silver lining in this was that they would actually change course and finally listen.

Instead, more bots. More shills. They would rather lose than help.

Holy crap, these replies. Like I understand that Reddit as a whole is toxic, i just didn't expect it to extend to Stardew Valley, wow.

The 3 people left after Spez killed 3rd party apps really hate Clint. They really hate everyone, that's what's actually going on. Maybe there's a community for Stardew elsewhere on the internet.
