So you cannot win them over with policy and nuances.

There’s no room for nuance, but you absolutely can win them over with policy, it just has to be policy that helps them get through the day. Everyone experiences the stress of not knowing how much your healthcare will cost, and getting hit with a massive bill anyway. “Free healthcare” instead of complicated subsidies for insurance that nobody really understands.

Progressive policy tend to win even in states where the dems ate shit..

RIP $20 airfare.

Why are they doing an ad for mcdonalds?

She chose to say that “she couldnt think of anything she’d change”

She said she wouldn’t have done anything differently from what Biden did. When asked what the difference between a Harris and Biden admin would be, she said she would appoint a republican to the cabinet.

Oh cool, anyone with foreign allegiances is going to oppose war, this is a good thing!

Oh it’s a nazi. God dammit.

I wish I could link you the AI-translated hitler speeches, but they seem to have been removed from youtube.

Apparently a bunch of libs were going “Hey wait he was right” instead of “Holy shit I literally speak of immigrants and trans people the same way hitler spoke of jews”

The random meandering into completely unrelated topics is also fitting.

Israel, and AIPAC is just an extension of the US government. The US supports Israel because it allows them to threaten the rest of the middle east and keep cheap resources and labor flowing out.

This is bad for the people who live in America (and the middle east), but it is good for the capitalist class the US represents.

Blaming the people for the predictable effects of the dem’s actions deflects away from only entity that had the power to change the outcome and the only entity that will have the power to change this in 2026.

It’s not constructive to go “Damn, I sure wish genocide didn’t decrease turnout for the dems”

Just like in 2016, the dems deluded themselves into blaming the voters (specifically black people and/or the left) and bernie sanders instead of themselves, and we are watching them do it again in real time.

I just have a fear I might mess up somehow and start a fire or something

It takes some effort to start a fire. Most oils flash points are >600 F, which you might get a pan to to sear a steak, but to heat a pan of oil for deepfrying or something to >600 F, which would be a dangerous situation, requires you to continue heating it after it started billowing smoke between ~350F and ~525.

In any case, if you manage to have an oil fire, say by spilling some on the burner, just let it burn out if it’s a small amount or turn off the heat and throw a towel over it if it’s like a cup’s worth.

Minor burns aren’t uncommon when you’re learning, but that’s just a very quick way to learn “wrap the handle of the cast iron you just took out of the oven with a towel so you don’t grab it like a moron” or “use tongs to place things on hot oil so it doesn’t splatter on your hand”

I voted, but I have no power to change the outcome of the election. Only the democrats had this power, the blame lies only with them.

Genocide lowers turnout. Saying you’re going to appoint republicans to your cabinet lowers turnout. Pledging to shut down the border and build the wall lowers turnout. Means testing all of your campaign promises lowers turnout. Running tough-on-crime campaign ads raises turnout FOR THE REPUBLICANS!

We’ve been yelling that the dems will lose if they continue to go right for the last 4 years, but the dems either chose to move to the right on every issue either knowing it would lower their performance, or ignorant because blue maga like you helped shield them from the reality unfolding infront of all of us. I don’t know which is more damning.

I think they’re suggesting that, if you think what you’re seeing now is “unlimited support,” you’ll have a pretty shocking 2025.

Every weapon congress allowed, the US sent to Israel, and the US used its standing military to prevent anyone else from stopping Israel. The Biden admin has done literally nothing to limit Israel’s genocide and has used the military and diplomatic power to ensure that it continues.

We had a shitty choice to make

We didn’t choose shit, the democrats made choices at every opportunity that lowered turnout. Genocide lowers turnout. Saying you’re going to appoint republicans to your cabinet lowers turnout. Pledging to shut down the border and build the wall lowers turnout. Means testing all of your campaign promises lowers turnout. Like anyone who’s been paying attention, I spent the last 4 years telling anyone who’d listen that if the democrats do this shit, Trump will win in 2024, and now somehow it’s everyone’s fault except the democrats.

Are you suggesting that if the dems won, they would have stopped the unlimited support for Israel’s genocide?

Unless there’s a coup in the DNC, we’re going to see a repeat of this week in 2026 and 2028.

If the democrats had learned anything at all, they would stop all arms shipments and sanction Israel right now so they can credibly say to voters they want the same things.

Remember when Biden’s admin said they’d cut off aid if Israel didn’t let aid into gaza and stop killing humanitarian workers, but set the deadline for just after the election?

This proves it was a cynical ploy and they never intended to limit their support of Israel’s genocide.

They’ve been saying that for the last year. And bombing the west bank. Hell they bombed Bethlehem on Christmas.

The democrats can not fail, they can only be failed.

lmao. Students aren’t going on bikerides to show that they hate the government.

It was a meme that ended up with too many bicyclists on the street that pissed off car drivers and local businesses.

I can’t find any chinese sources about the ban, but I only searched english language chinese sources.

Who the hell is condemning pro-palestinian soccer fans for fighting the hooligans who started this by ripping down flags, beating up arabs and locals, and graffitiing stars of david on local businesses?

Israelis travel abroad and think they’re in the west bank and do this shit all the time.

They had a garbage new media strategy too, they spent a million dollars on a set for a podcast that didn’t break a million views (Joe Rogan’s Trump episode had 37M last I checked). They paid Oprah 6M for her appearance.

God knows what the Cheneys were charging for their appearances.

But in any case, the root of the problem was their platform; there is no way even the most talented campaign surrogate can dress up “We’re gonna close the border, be tougher on crime, and give tax breaks to small businesses. We will remain Israel’s closest ally” in a way that increases the democrat’s votes.

If you understand it as a trial where a president who has done something wrong is held accountable according to the law, then no that’s idealist nonsense.

If you understand it as a mechanism that allows 50+ senators to replace the president with the VP if they want to, yes.

Successfully removed from office, not the ceremonial bullshit the dems do for the aesthetic.
