That’s right, there were no flaws in the political system invented 250 years ago and only outside actors in the last 20 years led to a conservative party vs a fascist party.

If Biden stepped down and Joe Schmoe from Fucking, Indiana was elevated to presidential candidate for the Democratic party, they’d be known by 80% of the country in 24 hours. The “too late” narrative continued to be pushed multiple times until it was actually too late. I think this the 4th “too late” segment in his campaign.

What options does the community have? Was there no RFC by the park board?

Yea that was part of the decision. I wasn’t prepared enough to confront them out of the blue, but I was raised Catholic. I have an idea of how deep their “care” for us really is

I was at a Pride event yesterday and considered asking the “god hates f**” crowd why my sin is their problem. Then I figured that would be giving them too much attention.

Wow, the owl cloned itself. Nature is incredible

That’s how I read the latest stuff coming from the region as well. It is interesting that Vietnam is seeking ties with the US. Imo it’s a mistake to do that, but I’m not a Vietnamese citizen. The US typically betrays ML countries at the nearest convenience.

And, yes, other countries may do similar things, and it is bad too, but it doesn’t justify China’s move here.

That’s really all my entire point. I’m not defending China’s claim, because it’s just as ludicrous as Vietnam’s. I was actually surprised to see how nuanced you approached this rather than assuming ill intent. Thanks for that

Literally every country constructs a narrative to justify their claims. This isn’t special or uniquely Chinese.

Smh that’s clearly a class 0.5 ebike and drivers just need to share the road /s

That’s right lol I forget how short lived the Republic was

Well the Weimar Republic Germany before the Nazis was also a regressive removed run by an absolutely terrible monarch. I’m sure the wife had been suffering in Germany for a while

E: I made a silly mistake

This is why my computer uses malbolge as assembly

Open carry folks are also more likely to be robbed on the street, for the gun lmao

Without a doubt, he’d be amazing. Unfortunately his lack of recognition outside of the Midwest is also a huge downside. He’d be seen as a nobody coming from the weird lefty state

Believe it or not, but candidates don’t have to be set in stone. I’m no fan of “but we couldn’t do anything about East Palestine” Buttigieg, but I’d take him over either leading candidate any day. I have an even lower opinion of Newsom, but I’d even pick him. Biden is no longer in a position to be a strong counter to Trump.

Edit: in anticipation of good faith questions, my top pick of all major democrats would be MN Governor Walz. I genuinely believe he is the most competent leader in the entire country at the moment, but he has absolutely no aspirations for presidency.

Yes. Homeless people are an underclass.

Time to camp on SCOTUS lawns.

This one has gone far too long without their share of the brain cell. I love them

More like, I will have sex with romantic partners if they want it but I won’t ever go asking them for sex. I’m completely disinterested in sex with strangers. I tried to dance around it because some folks find the discussion gross, but an additional aspect to being ace for me is that it doesn’t feel much different from masturbating. I still have libido, so both of those are just ways of handling a natural part of being human
