obvious to anyone with a brain that they are intending to hit the occopying israeli soldiers.
No, no it’s not, they would be using guided missiles if their goal was to hit specific troop concentrations, this is just the regular old terror bombing.
Niche? I thought it was an idea the entire Dem group was putting forth legislation on
There’s a difference between the Democratic base and the Democratic Party politicians who make decisions. RCV is somewhat popular among the Democratic Party politicians, it’s basically unknown of/uncared about by the base. That’s how it’s both niche, and desired by the Party. I’m sure you knew this though.
Yes, Dems should take time during campaigns to talk about actual policy. That’s what campaigns are for.
That’s what they do. Literally every single election.
99% of status quo talking points are boring because our representatives are bad at their jobs.
No they’re boring to you, because they’re not meant to appeal to you, you do not represent the majority of the Democratic base, the Democratic base is mostly middle aged college educated liberals, not hyper-online leftists.
Really? You think the Democrats should be spending valuable time in an election year talking about a niche electoral reform that most people would need explained?
There’s a reason 99% of political rhetoric revolves around bread and butter issues or something that can be used to scare people. RCV is neither of those, and most people who are actually dedicated to getting RCV already know about FairVote and the Democratic party’s willingness to pass RCV.
It’s from some of the most senior democrats from the progressive and centrist wings and would permanently destroy Gerrymandering, I’m pretty sure most democrats would support it given the chance.
It found “no evidence” of Hawaii officials making preparations for the wildfire, despite days of warnings that critical fire weather was coming, and that the lack of planning hindered efforts to evacuate Lahaina before it burned.
Having personally experienced a wildfire almost the exact same as this, I really really hope the people of this town can get some accountability, my town barely hit national news and got zero accountability for the failures of the city government.
They still are, the Wikipedia page just hasn’t been updated.
Edit: Actually, if you’d just look at the “Legislative History” section of the wiki article instead of reading just the top summary, you’d see it got reintroduced in 2024.
No. It was communist.
The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not “socialists seeking communism.” When people say a country was/is “communist,” they mean it’s being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it’s achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.
The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.
Probably just paying them to stay on message about Ukraine and stop rambling about random culture war issues like alleged elementary school litter boxes.
than 50% of the US realizes there’s still an embargo.
Oh trust me, enough of the Republican base still remembers it enough to screech any time there’s any talk of ending it.
Pretending that just because one doesn’t vote for democrats, MUST be enabling Trump, is childish and not a position worthy of respect
Wish I was wrong. I voted for first time in 1988.
If that’s true, it just makes your advocacy seem even more politically ignorant.
And I have been voting for longer than you have been alive.
So do you support and respect my right to have an opinion that is different than yours?
Sure if your opinion doesn’t directly lead to the rise of fascism. Oh wait, you repeatedly post leftist third party advocacy in the middle of the election to decide Fascism or Democracy? No I don’t respect that opinion and seemingly almost no one here does, that’s why your hundreds of posts and comments on your two week old account have been down voted to hell.
Do you think all Republicans are fascists?
Anyone who still supports Trump after a decade of his rhetoric and actions is a Fascist. I repeat again:
Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on gay people this past decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on trans people this last decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on immigrants this past decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on Muslims this past decade? Did you not see the last Republican president try desperately to overturn the results of a free and fair election before finally inciting an insurrection? Did you not hear him say he’ll be a dictator and suspend the constitution next time if elected?
Nice job ignoring me pointing out your bad faith argument by the way.
No, I was pointing out the hypocrisy that’s being shown in people who use that argument
Bullshit, there’s nothing in that comment to indicate it was sarcasm, and the “I’m pulling from Republicans too but that doesn’t fit your narrative” defence goes directly against what you’re now saying.
I respect and support your right to an opinion
There were once people who had the opinion that it was moral to own other people. There were once people who had the opinion that other people should be marched into camps to be gassed and burned. Not all opinions are equal, and some opinions, such as those, deserve to be called abhorrent and fascist.
is half of the country “fascists” now? lol

There are some Republicans who still respect America’s institutions, such as Pence and Romney, but they’ve been effectively expelled from the party. Trumpian Fascism now rules the Republican base by a majority, you just need to look at their primary results this year to see that’s the case.
No, I don’t believe in it. I was using the argument that you all throw at me every single day
So you were using an argument you don’t even believe just to try and win an argument because you can’t defend your real position? That’s incredibly bad faith.
when it happens to the Republicans, just not when it happens to YOUR party
Yes, literally anything that breaks voters from the Republican party is good, and everything that breaks voters away from Democrats is bad. That’s because the Republicans are full of fascists hell bent on destroying American democracy, and the Democrats are the only credible thing standing against them.
And libertarians in effect would take votes AWAY from trump
Oh so you do believe in spoiler candidates? What’s your defense for constant third party and green party advocacy if you know it’s a statistical fact that spoiler effect exists?
Technically three if you count Shebaa Farms but that ones slightly more complicated than the standard Israeli occupations.
If you ever feel like doing a second playthrough (the side quests and DLCs are fun) then train with captain Bernard, the captain in Ratttay, he teaches you some combos and blocks that make combat a whole lot more manageable.
