Maybe we should’ve had a real primary with debates and interviews and stuff =(
We need an America 2 where we can apply all the lessons we’ve learned, like primary every election and judges that can be recalled easier for corruption.

The problem is that there was no live fact checking. Wtf can you do against a constant Gish Gallop of blatant lies? Even if they drugged him, I’m not sure what he could’ve done with that debate format.
They might be talking about her primary run for President specifically, but she had dropped out way before then I’m pretty sure. That is, I am not sure if California even had a chance to vote for her. It’s one of the parts that suck about US primaries and being in a late state. Sometimes you don’t even get a chance to vote for the person you wanted to vote for before they drop out.
Not worth the risk to lose his governorship for a shot in the dark. I don’t know why the Democrat Party hasn’t been building alternatives for the last 4 years. Hell, I only recall seeing Harris when she was yelling at poor immigrants to stay away. They failed this country.
Some of the Scrubs jokes aged badly. I can’t remember any specifically, but there was some anti-gay humor and stuff like that. The show I still appreciated enough to get through a rewatch recently and still mostly enjoyed, but some of the individual jokes were hard to sit through. Wish I could remember one lol.
Edited: I wrote a longer rest response but I feel like my long responses will distract from the main topic of the thread. So I’ll put some in spoiler text, remove the rest, and that’s all I’ll say on that. This an emotional topic and can go on forever I’m sure.
It won’t happen if the liberals pressure him enough. That’s the thing. He’s already made some concessions in rhetoric scared of the changing narrative. We can have both Biden and a stop to a genocide with enough public pressure. The election isn’t until November. I don’t believe a genocide is the only choice as long as we live in a democracy, can build a movement, and he’s a rational candidate (which I think he is).
People are fucking dying right now dude. It’s going to affect the Middle East, millions of refugees will head to surrounding countries, and then it will affect Europe. They will probably turn more fascist as a result, just like from their current immigration crises from Syria and Africa. Plus, now Israel is trying to start wars with Lebanon and Iran, and drag us into WIII. Plus it’s causing shipping problems in Yemen. Not to mention the Israeli Super PAC that funds conservative politicians that we allow to run rampant in our country for some reason. It goes on and on. This stuff does affect us whether you like it or not.
In addition, this is a huge escalation over previous decades. It’s another nakba. Almost the whole population is pressed South against Egypt right now. Northern Gaza won’t be habitable for decades. It can’t get much worse. It’s too close for them to nuke, and they’ve taken out most of the hospitals and seem to have triggered a catastrophic famine. They’re killing so fast, they’re already looking to start another war before they finish this ethnic cleansing campaign so Netanyahu can stay in office.
And still vote, I’m not saying don’t do that. I will. I’m just saying I get why other people complain about him. I’m sure they’ll still vote down ballot, and would even vote for him if he changed tact on Israel.
I get that Project 2025 is scary, but so is Project 2029, and 3033. We shouldn’t have to accept that we’ll be an evil empire forever, always choosing between two flavors of genocidal maniac, forever cursed to enact horrible terrors on the international stage, awaiting the inevitable drop into fascism. We can use this moment to get the President to stop bowing to a foreign state that’s been troublesome to us for decades. Even Reagan had to smack Israel down.. He’s been slowly improving, and I get why other people would use this moment where a possibly sway-able Democratic President is in the office and has a looming election as leverage to pressure them, especially when they’re acting emotionally because this is an emotional tie and humans are emotional creatures. But hey, he’s got time.
A genocide is actually happening however you choose to spell it or sarcastically pronounce it. It’s a serious thing. Children are dying. Millions are becoming refugees. A mass famine is spreading. It’s a perfectly reasonable line to draw to not vote for someone enabling it, especially if it can possibly pressure that person to take a better actions to save their job. It doesn’t require bad faith arguments or fake troll bots. It requires actual humans with real morals and ethics appalled by what they are seeing and who actually believe “never again” means “never again”, especially when it’s something done by their government that their voice can possibly change.
He still has time to improve his stance, if it’s not for moral reasons or to save lives, I hope it eventually becomes to save his job and keep Trump out of office, though I’m not sure the movement will ever become big enough to affect his electoral chances with how much influence AIPAC has in our politics, and how much liberal Americans hate Trump more than genocide, so you can probably rest easy on that front.
Which of these are the Facebook ones?
That would be hilarious lol
Oligarchy or aristocracy, and that’s Russia. And the US at this point lol.
Ya, I kind of like the idea of code being put somewhere else just in case. It sucks it’s China, but I hate to see anything centralized in one company, especially if it’s a big public, good like Github and all it’s code.
Lol you sound like a Republican yelling about virtue signaling. Who would be against genocide or the guy enabling it? That’s impossible! Must be bots or paid actors.
Biden could do good things but still not have it outweigh causing a genocide in some people’s eyes. I may not even agree with them, but I can see from their point of view, and totally empathize with that.
But yes, this is a good thing. I’d rather we celebrate this good thing without getting side tracked by the bad things Biden has done or arguments about how bad they are.
This ruined my day =(
Yup. Maybe she can get a real job instead of just making money owning property.
Does Voyager have it? That’s the app use lol
This is interesting. Look at all those videos. I wish reporters would stop posting on X, though. Is this a good source? Those Twitter accounts? I’m not too familiar with the Cat and the other reporter they mentioned.
I mean, someone has to find out what your local community is doing and write it up on the internet. That’s what reporters do, and they need to get paid for it somehow.
Didn’t they already reveal their source code to American companies, like Oracle ? If people say they’re worried China can manipulate the algorithms, then Oracle will let the US know. What else can they do?
From the people they’re colonizing. That doesn’t count as defending themselves. I can’t say self-defense when I kill you after you try to punch me because I shot you multiple times.
There’s a reason Progressives don’t like it. It’s that same attitude that led to Biden being picked in the first place, and Clinton before him. They pick the senior person in the Party and then elevate them through donations, the Party apparatus gives them staff, email lists, endorsements, connections to media to push them up, and more to reward them for years of service.
People are finally realizing maybe we don’t live in a great democracy just in time to lose it. At this rate, I’ll take anyone who can beat Trump. If it’s Biden I’ll take it. But I’m not sure it is…
