Some of us have been trying. The masses tend to bully and tell us it’s all our fault, somehow. According to the Democrats and their base, progressives are simultaneously too weak and unimportant to listen to, and so powerful that we can swing entire elections. I’m still waiting to hear how that one makes sense.
I’ve got bad news for you. Clockwise/counterclockwise depends on which way you’re looking at the screw.
Turns out either way you need to make assumptions about perspective.
Kinda horseshit. The Democratic Party needs to stop racing to the bottom and running candidates that are so bad they can only win against garbage like Trump. Because sometimes they’re even wrong about that. Apparently 2/3 of the time.
Same for me. When I need to, I like to go for regular checkout lanes without a bagger so I can move to the end and offer to bag my own things. It gives me something to do rather than just stand there awkwardly.
There’s one cashier at my local grocery store who will often add a 10% discount as a thank you. Which is actually a crazy wage for the couple minutes of work.
I also play a game at Trader Joe’s where usually I’m mostly stocking my freezer so it’s a lot of boxes. I make my cart the neatest damn cart I can and I win my game if the cashier comments on it.
Silo also has several falls that should absolutely kill people. One that’s like dozens of feet into the pile that they throw all sorts of sharp metal objects on? Dead.
Free falling off a bridge with just a rope tied around your waist that stops you? At the very least your back is fully broken, but that fall looked long enough that you should just be dead. Full Gwen Stacy.
Yeah, I love that show. They do a really good job staying grounded in real physics when they’re not in the fiction side of sci-fi. IMO, their space mechanics are unmatched in sci-fi.
I love lots of franchises that also do it poorly, but I’m always pleased when they go the extra mile.
It’s the only tactic “centrist” voters know. When someone criticizes their team, that person must be in support of the “other” team (because there’s only two, you know).
Anyone who claims otherwise is lying, so they’ll just have to keep saying that you voted for Trump even when you tell them that you voted progressive every primary and Democratic Party every general. They’re about two neurons firing away from accidentally saying “a vote for Biden is a vote for Trump” and then tripling down on it.
Neither “Playable” nor “Verified” status means no issues, unfortunately. It’s still good, but IMO the current rating system leaves a lot to be desired.
It’s always been one of many reasons progressives stand apart from centrists, but are you really so tone-deaf that you can’t see why it might have become particularly relevant during Biden’s presidency?
And how, exactly, are the progressives supposed to do something when the Democratic Party puts more resources into beating down progressives than it does Republicans?
This comment betrays the absolute inhumanity of the Democratic Party. “Why do you give a shit about other humans, and why don’t you do something about it with the zero power we’ve allowed you to have?” What a horrific position to take.
I don’t know about you, but I wanted him to stop working when he was 74 and enjoy the rest of his life with his family like people should be allowed to do much younger than that, not start working again at 78.
I have absolutely no guilt over what happened at the tail end of his presidency, I tried to keep him from being in that position at all.
+ All of physics. Especially anything involving characters falling, lasers, explosions, firearms, and any physics in space (sound, motion, temperature, black holes).
Not that it’s known physics, but time travel falls into this category too. Not the time travel itself, that’s just suspension of disbelief, but having time travel mechanics be internally consistent. It’s difficult to do well.
Bonus points if two characters are playing together, frantically mashing buttons, and the game on screen is single player.
Also 18. When it’s cold 16, lol. Never a shirt.
We don’t really need to talk about Trump’s corruption. We all know he’s corrupt and none of us are arguing about it.
But when the person who was so corrupt she couldn’t win an election against the orange buffoon starts inserting herself into the conversation, accounts like yours come out of the woodwork to defend her using stale 2016 rhetoric. If there are fake accounts here, I’m pretty sure it’s yours.
Lol, we’re back to “any criticism of Hillary Clinton is sexism”? I could’ve sworn it wasn’t 2016 anymore.
What decision? I worked against Trump entering office every step of the path. Hillary Clinton demonstrably did not. She propped him up during the 2016 primaries because she thought she would have an easier time beating him.
You’re the second account to tell me to take responsibility for Trump with no justification. Something smells.
Lmfao, “show me the proof” of the thing that was so egregious it forced a reform?
No, it fucking isn’t. Your dismissal is unfounded. My claim is the same argument that the Sanders campaign used to get the DNC to reform the superdelegate process after 2016.
I’m sorry, fucking what? I voted for Bernie in 2016 primary, Hillary in 2016 general, Bernie in 2020 primary, Biden in 2020 general, uncommitted in 2024 primary, and Harris in 2024 general. I donate to progressive campaigns across the country every election.
You’re a sycophant defending the Democratic Party’s extremely authoritarian practices in primaries and blaming others for the sins the party and its elites.
See the part about the Democratic Party actively working against progressives, to the point of funding propaganda against them. The Dems saw the Tea Party and care more about avoiding that with progressives than they do about running candidates that can either beat the Republicans or serve the people.
And from what you just said: you’d better have never once blamed progressives for losing the Democrats an election if you’re taking the “progressives are too weak” position.
