I know a half dozen people that worked get out the vote efforts to get Trump out of office who are going to be staying home this year. How many votes do you think that adds up to?

A few more “victories” like that and we’re all going to be in the bread lines.

They aren’t going to vote for Trump, they just aren’t going to vote for Biden, and they aren’t going to tell their friends to vote, and they aren’t going to get out the vote in their communities or drive people to the polls.

Imagine a politically active person last election went to their mosque or temple and made sure that their elders had a ride to the polls and the young people got registered to vote and people understood the issues.

Now imagine that she decides that she isn’t going to put in those efforts for a person that rubber stamps genocide and lies about how poor everyone she knows has gotten.

Not one person in this story voted for Trump, but how many votes did Biden lose?

You need to stop seeing this as a binary problem because that’s exactly why Democrats keep losing against weak unpopular candidates.

Seriously. If one more Democrat leans out of his ivory tower to shout down at me to tell me that I’m totally rich and safe now while I’m paying three hundred bucks for a weeks groceries for my family on the same money I made five years ago I’m going to lose my goddamned mind.

What feed? What the fuck are you even talking about? Did you get a script for the wrong platform or something?

Did you go to the same spokesman orientation as Biden? Why not post the evidence if it’s so compelling?

Good thing Biden is here to be the spokesperson for Israel for some reason. Show us the evidence or fuck off, and stop buying bullets to kill children while you’re at it.

Sadly, while abortion is a losing issue for them, their racist politicians are often winning in the same ballots that abortion is being protected on. Conservative women will protect their right to abortions but still happily vote for racism at the same time.

That’s what these guys are missing. They are losing on abortion because enough Republicans care more about their own rights than about racism. Lucky for them, the ballot measures mean they don’t have to choose. They can protect abortion back home and keep on sending fascists to Washington.

Sometimes the downside to robust consumer protections is that you don’t get all the stuff. Norway has a guaranteed five year warranty that likely impacts profitability of compliance for some products.

Virtually every libertarian I know thinks that he’s a fucking genius, especially the really stupid ones.

The bulk of the US economy is based on taking money from working people and then consolidating it to billionaires that run defense corporations. So “paying for” it’s basically just an engine for making rich Americans more rich.

That’s how voting works literally everywhere. If you count the people that don’t or can’t vote, American Presidents are elected by like twenty percent of the population, and the winner doesn’t even have to get a majority of the actual votes.

The statement that they were voted in is a true statement, so I see no reason to correct it because you don’t like that fact.

The problem is that the bigger and heavier the craft the higher it’s minimum drop height is going to be because it’s more dangerous and needs more clearance.

Obviously it also becomes much more costly to run.

That’s true to all extent, but the more present online folks do end up driving behaviors about regular users as well. There was a tube when even having an ad blocker at all was a “power user” thing, now everyone does it. If they fail to accommodate the people that will put energy into circumventing ads then they will just find and normalize a new work around.

It’s similar to content piracy. You will never get rid of piracy altogether, but if you make content accessible and affordable you can mitigate how common it is.

For YouTube, they need to balance how intrusive the ads are against how easy it is to get around them.

Because from their perspective someone invaded their land and is now vulnerable to getting kicked off it. The only reason Israel exists is because it’s supported by the US and Europe. Take away that support and Israel goes away.

The intended result for Hamas is for Israel to respond with actions that erode the very support that they depend on for security against invasion from surrounding arab nations that don’t need any new reasons to attack Israel apart from the very existence of Israel in the first place.

Who said anything about humanitarian invasions? Why are you arguing against something you made up?

Pick retirees without little kids, if you get a chance.

Honestly, the association with Yahoo just makes the platform look like a joke. Like, the first time you do a search and it pops up as Yahoo your first instinct is thinking you’re using the wrong thing.

I’m certainly not endorsing the Hamas leadership of Gaza or their legitimacy, but the fact remains that there isn’t a real distinction between “Gaza leaders” and “Hamas” at this point.

Thank you for the correction, I have edited accordingly.
