Dems will never win an election again if they prioritize trying to win the votes of ““centrists”” who are too sexist to vote for a woman.
Well yeah, it’s not newsworthy that a random person died. The newsworthy part is ‘holy shit this baby lived somehow.’

The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TVEnglish151·10 days agoYou almost have a point but to get there you have to ignore the entire actual context of the conflict. It’s not just killing because of killing, there’s an entire ongoing expansionist colonial project making one party clearly the aggressor.

Turns out you can’t simplify world history to one sentence without people getting big mad.
Did everybody just decide to not read the last part?
Be aware of your people’s worth so the world doesn’t have to remind you.
It’s basically ‘hey, remember how shitty hiring is? keep that in mind and try to keep people you have.’ It’s not an example of “this is a good thing to try doing.”

You can’t be perfect so trying to cause less harm is just a distraction.

Weird, I keep hearing that the dems lost because of progressives and leftists sitting out over Gaza. But I guess the libs would rather lose and fail again at trying to get ‘centrists’ than appease that apparently pivotal electoral bloc.

Really curious what you think the ‘sham’ is on the stock market and how it supposedly works.

This is fine. I’m not an electrician and don’t know what that is securing the romex but I assume that’s approved.
I mean I guess if the inspector wants they could deny it for not being “neat and workmanlike” but they’d have to really be an asshole. Like it’s weird but it’s not going anywhere, not like a switch is a heavy piece of equipment. This would probably even be fine for a light.

Sure why engage with the actual reasons that leftists express for (varying levels of critical) support for any given country when you can ignore all that and dunk on this vague and convenient strawman.
