Keep that in mind, design some new lines

All I know

Love is a valuable thing

Chances to show it gone as the

pendulum swings

Did you try once by the end of the day

To spread love that way?

Im not who you’re responding to but if the Rs are “regressive” and the Dems are not “progressive” but instead “status quo” couldn’t my opinion,

(CW: chinese bot alert! BoTh SiDeS vote suppression incoming!)

“neither party will help us move left” be pretty spot on? That is what everyone on the left wants, yeah? For the Overton Window to move left? We agree? Please tell me we agree on this much.

If we do, how is such leftward movement even possible in the current political climate, with the DNC so hostile to the leftists already in its tent and openly courting ‘left-leaning’ Republicans? They are currently campaigning with right-wing rhetoric like a “lethal fighting force” and a “strong border wall”. Is the way to fight conservatism getting conservatives to join you? I guess I’m too stupid to see how that could work.

I’m not saying Harris needs to make Roe v Wade’s return the number one cause of her campaign, but it and other leftist causes should be talked about waaay more than they have, don’t you think? I do anyway.

Assuming i still have your ear and we agree the DNC is moving right politically, what can a Democratic voter do to slow or stop this rightward trend?

Here’s where you expect me to tell you to vote 3rd party or some other useless shit but naw, the answer is "i dont know and it’s driving me bonkers thinking about how it must. "

To be abundantly clear, please do vote for Harris. I am absolutely serious. I want her to win.

Honestly, my secret fantasy has the Democrats winning a supermajority in all parts of the country and, without the republican bugaboo to point at and blame are either forced to come through on some long-term platform promises to leftists, or the voters are finally forced to see the Democratic Party for who they really are and finally form a party that represents them because it is them.

Or the Dems prove me full of shit and it really was the darn ol’ Rs all along! What a blow to my ego that would be hahaha! I’d still take that L happily tho.

That’s my secret, cap…

What? Why? Who i say who in their right mind says this in a post absolutely soaking in their own tears? I think the complete batshit audacity is what i find most entertaining about you.

The PLAN™ is working comrade

Man there’s so much proof of the kind of “quality” debate these post-dunked-bleedin-liberals actually bring to hexbear ITT. Like these guys are proving the accusation=confession of the OPs post so well I’m crying blood.

😡-😂

ok

Is it fascinating i downvoted a comment that calls the post a lie without any evidence or even an attempt to make one besides vibes-based feelings? And those feelings boil down to ‘no one cared’? Do you find my distaste for that comment fascinating? I think my downvote of that comment is actually a pretty bog standard reaction to pedantry

You’re not gonna get many linux users respecting your opinion on tech if youre such an outlier. Windows 7? Cmon, ya gotta expect to get pushback on this right? Not just Linux nerds either… like Who do you tell this bombshell to and they’re like “yeah ok that’s normal?”

I missed digg. I was on fark before reddit and somehow fark is still around and hasn’t changed at all

The order would establish a task force to coordinate policy development with the goal of ensuring more benefits for workers

This is as much info as i could find in the article. Looks like there’s no clear rules on how the money will be divided up, this will be done soon. My worry is here:

federal grants that would prioritize projects with labor agreements-

That “prioritizes” is a big, big modifier, allowing for the task force to allow at least some money from that grant to go to projects that don’t have labor agreements. Who is on that task force will be very important apparently.

Their biggest donors would rather they didn’t

homage to Monty Python and Terry Gilliam movies

Ok, i’m listening

Iirc lobsters can become much much larger than the ones we eat which are lil babies (comparatively speaking). The 2 or so lb lobsters we see are like 5yo but lobsters can live to be 100+ and 15lbs or sumsuch. Maybe the old crotchety ones folks ate back didn’t taste as good?

Hexbear users will never downvote you if only because they physically can’t. Downvotes were disabled around the time of the Great reddit migration.

I get what you’re saying bout the repetitiveness of the way people communicate. Someone it can feel like a bunch of LLMs slapping together the same 10-15 lines together to mimic speech.

I attemt to say things in different ways and have a “voice” you can hear to fight this repetitiveness, and out of sheer boredom towards the ways things are commonly said. THAT said I’m “guilty” of using memespeech too, and if course it can be clever shorthand to convey feeling if used properly.

Dunno where I’m going with this but i do feel ya.

I don’t block people permanently, only for a couple days and then only if they won’t stop barkin. We didn’t have any discussions per se but i have to admit to you it was i who reported one of your comments as “debate pervert”. I stand behind that decision too, in that particular case.

I hope you have a good weekend too. I hope you come back around one day, as a lurker, with curiosity. Even if it seems unlikely in the face of the other things I’ve said, i really mean that.

Right, my bad. I guess I’m hinting at your comment needing a bit of a massage until it says what you mean. My suspicion is you actually just don’t like the turn of phrase, not that you don’t get why it’s used, right? Which is perfectly fine yo.

Hell, the way you phrased not liking something as "not getting it’ and yor statement just now with the “?” At the end of it are both standard interwebby colloquialisms.

Not fighting, just saying

So this post is because you’re angry ya got dunked on? You can’t just post liberal political opinions (that would do well in liberal spaces) and expect them to fly in a commie space…

Wait, i recognize you! Ive argued with you myself! You definitely don’t approach hexbear with a perspective of learning something, and iirc you’re not the most respectful of other opinions haha! You been banned a couple times and still ain’t learned shit about shit. Should i pm you with those threads with explanations of what and where you went wrong? Id be ecstatic to teach you something today
