Seems we did.
Touched a nerve, did we?
I’m sure you think you sound like you have integrity, but it sounds like privilege to me.
Thank you.
Public polling is showing that Harris would get a big boost in voter support if she and Biden went for a weapons embargo.

edit: It’s absolutely amazing to me what y’all will downvote.
But that’s why some people can’t pick, because the Democratic party has become significantly more “conservative” since 2012.
My god your penchant for historical revisionism is insufferable:

Coming from a state (NC) where Republicans regularly use asinine amendments any time they need to fluff a presidential candidate…
Yes it is. Suck on it, dickbag.
What a bullshit, clickbait headline. The actual story is at the end:
Baris claimed that conservative polls showed that Trump was tied or had a “believable” edge against Harris.
“And when you look at the track records of the pollsters in those two courts, right in those two camps, really, you know the ones who are showing the tighter race with Trump with an advantage, have better track records,” he insisted.
He’s not saying her numbers are “unbelievable” as in, “holy shit that’s awesome!” He’s saying they’re literally unbelievable, as in, “I don’t believe that’s real.”
The Green party was represented at the Supreme Court by Jay Sekulow, a Trump ally who was part of the president’s legal team during his first impeachment trial.
Yeah sure, it’s the Democrats who are being dubious here…
He’s term limited.
The party doesn’t care about him, specifically. His polling has been under water for months, and anyone who’s not utterly delusional knows he’s about to get thumped by Stein. They’re now worried that if he stays in the race over the next month and a half, he will continue to be a lightning rod for Democratic attacks, especially on abortion, and that’ll continue to dampen Trump’s messaging. Still not convinced NC could go blue, but if it does, Robinson will be hugely responsible for it. He’s a fucking moron who makes Trump look sane and stable.
What does any of that have to do with the comment you replied to or the article?
For every Trump supporter you can find that lives in the unpopulated country in a trailer on a swamp, there are a dozen upper class spoiled brats for whom Trumpism has become core to their identity:
Throwing a little bit of anecdote behind that data, the most rabid Trump supporters in my family like to complain about “government teat” liberals while lounging on their 20+ foot boats which they launched from private docks beside their $1+ million lakeside or shoreside homes. That includes my father in law, 1 of my father’s cousins, 4 of my uncles, and the husband of my own cousin. Not even exaggerating that they all either live on the waterfront or have a waterfront vacation home, and they all have huge boats. Three of my wife’s uncles who are feverish Trumpers inherited a textile fortune from daddy and have never had to work a day of hard labor in their lives. The most rabid Trump supporter in my wife’s extended network who routinely removedes and moans about how offended she is at the idea of “white privilege”, lives on a 154 acre estate and inside a 7,550 square foot home that overlooks a private lake. She’s as die-hard a Trump supporter as they come.
I wish I were joking.
the subject is mute.
*moot
I hear you. Didn’t mean for that to come across as an attack on you.
Lemmy is such a fickle place. Just a few days ago people were clamoring for Democrats to make a purely performative abortion vote that would be doomed to fail, merely because it would send an important signal to voters. Now people are skeptical that performative signal votes are sincere because they won’t go anywhere. Not saying you, specifically, but the whiplash is really frustrating.
Second, sure, it’s a low risk bill because they know it won’t go anywhere, but damn isn’t it good news that somebody is putting their money where their mouth is? Maybe we just need to primary in more Dems who will sign on and help push it through?
Indeed. It articulated a lot of what I’ve seen since I graduated high school about 20 years ago, and it helps explain the hypnotic allure of toxic shitheads like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro. It also helped me understand a little more about Trumpism and why it’s so weirdly intoxicating to people like my father in law and uncles, who really are just sad, old, ugly, many-times-divorced white men with limited education and very little to offer to the rest of society. They’re fucking angry, and it was hard to figure out what they were so mad about until I started reading stuff like this. They’re completely unmoored and irrelevant, and they’re lashing out in what’s really a cry for help, even if it’s too deep within their subconscious to be actionable.
