The Dems really messed up imo by not screwing the others out of primaries and debates with Biden. They totally rigged it for Biden and now they don't have much choice but to keep trying to push forward, but they knew what they were getting into. They've known Biden wasn't well for a long time
Exactly, the moment to replace him was from the get-go. Now we're logistically in too deep without splitting the entire party and essentially just handing the win to Trump. (Thanks so much DNC, it's totally clear you know better than the voters in your own party. /s)
I blame ineffectual Democrats who are more concerned with their power inside their own party for the rise of fascism as much as the fascists themselves, because their fucking buffoonery and chicanery literally enable the fascist Republican crime spree.
I mean fuck, look how long they carted out Dianne Feinstein pretending she was still a functional human being instead of just running anyone the fuck else.
How often does either party primary an incumbent president? Wikipedia only lists five notable one. And also has this little factoid that shows it usually backfires for the party.
Since the advent of the modern primary election system in 1972, an incumbent president has never been defeated by a primary challenger, though every president who faced a strong primary challenge went on to be defeated in the general election.
Excellent point, I wasn't aware of that one. Not that we should always treat the past as indicative of the future, but rather, it's clear that choosing such a path is playing with fire. For a litany of reasons.
Sadly, with Trump, we can't afford to play with fire, period.
They are fine with Trump pulling the country further to the right and lowering the bar for 2028. Whatever they have to do to keep from moving left with all the poors.
Garbage article. Trump passed a crime bill
President Donald Trump signed the First Step Act into law in 2018, a bipartisan bill aimed at reforming the criminal justice system. The act was a significant step towards addressing the issues of mass incarceration, sentencing reform, and reentry programs.
Key Provisions:
Eliminated the “three strikes” life sentencing provision for some offenses
Expanded judges’ discretion in sentencing for non-violent crimes
Made the sentencing guidelines of the Obama-era Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 retroactive
Required the Attorney General to develop a risk and needs assessment system to assess the recidivism risk and criminogenic needs of federal prisoners
Provided funding for rehabilitative programs to help inmates successfully reenter society
Impact:
The First Step Act has helped to reduce the number of people in federal prison
The act has also expanded access to rehabilitative programs, which has led to a decrease in recidivism rates
The law has provided a second chance for many individuals who were previously incarcerated, allowing them to reintegrate into society and find employment
It also has teenage girls date raping their dad. Instructions on how to give an abortion, the punishment of a pregnancy being lost through intentional means, which is far less than the punishment for murder, at least five genders, a man being punished by God for FAILING to nut in his brothers wife, which is LAW, God doing horrible shit to Job just to have a laugh, and Jesus going hard against a fruit tree even though the time of figs was not.
I can forgive Jesus since he also saw a bunch of moneylenders and just braided a whip right then and there to fuck them up. Another little tale Christians deliberately do not read.
I like how they come up with bizarre excuses to believe the clear opposite of what Jesus taught. ''No no the gate of the city wall was called the 'eye of the needle' camels DID fit!'
Idk if this post is against the rules (and if it is I will gladly remove it) but I’ve seen a lot of discussion on the debate but not the video itself. As I watched most of it live, I think that it’s important that people can watch and form their own opinions on the whole thing and not just snippets, memes, or other peoples’ views.
If Biden gets re-elected, and behind the scenes it's really Kamala Harris and/or Jill Biden in charge.... I'm OK with that. Trump will accelerate all the bad things. From climate change to hollowing out the working class to kissing Putin's ass and worse.
In the last year I have switched to all cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel for all my pots and pans.
No Teflon or "non-stick" coated garbage for me. Properly seasoned and cared for cast iron, carbon, or stainless steel will all be nearly as good as a "non-stick" pan and doesn't have the risk factor.
Recently, non-stick pans have been released that supposedly are safer, but I don't really feel like trusting billion dollar corpos to not lie for the 20th time about that, not when there are fantastic alternatives.
Non-stick cookware isn't a significant source of PFAS exposure because while technically a PFAS, PTFE is a stable polymer. This is important because you might have replaced your cookware and feel safe while not realizing that the sofa and the rug in your home are spewing PFAS in the air every time you brush against them. I threw out a nice sofa because of this. Furniture and carpets are the main source for residential PFAS exposure. Unless your water is super contaminated of course.
While true, I'm discussing the significance of exposure. That is what amount you can get into your body from different sources and the appropriate attention they should receive. PFAS in PTFE are residues from shit manufacturing. Even when they're present, the amounts aren't large. Stain-resistant furniture and carpets on the other hand are literally laced with PFAS to achieve this. So are most water resistant jackets. Household upholstery sprays like Scotchgard had PFOS as their active ingredient. Not sure what PFAS they use today. I know of multiple people who read a few titles about PFAS, replaced their cookware and kept laying naked on their PFAS-laden couches until I alerted them to it.
And you know that's true because they told you it's true and why would they say otherwise unless their parent company had some sort of political agenda? But looking at those donations, can we truly say they have a political agenda? They seem like they're solid centrists to me what with all those donations to Republicans and their groups.
They donated to one Democrat. The other thing that is listed as blue is an organization that wants more queer politicians of any political stripe in the United States. But I suppose anything that promotes queer people as human and needing representation is just part of the "woke mind virus," so you've convinced me. Cox is 100% communist.
Synema is not a Democrat, and it says so right there on the linked page. She switched to Independent after righteously screwing the party along with Manchin. For what it's worth, Manchin changed to Independent as well.
Ss the atlanta journal-constitution a liberal newspaper
According to the search results, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is considered to be slightly Left-Center Biased based on editorial positions that lightly skew liberal. Additionally, it is rated as High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.
Only if by "liberal" you mean what it means everywhere else in the U.S.
And you might as well link to Media Bias Fact Check if you're going to paste from it. Which would be the company that's become very pro-Israel as of late. Not exactly a position for "liberals" in America, as your sort likes to call everyone to the left of Trump.
Here's the NYT apologizing for their massive fuckups in the leadup to the War in Iraq because they were too busy NOT questioning anything the Bush administration had to say and were busy covering up stories for them. WHOOPSIE DOODLES.
What's this? The architect of the 1994 crime bill who helped the Dems get elected on a platform further right than the GOP on policing and prisons is pro-police? Huh. TIL.
I don't see how anyone is making the point that "everything is rosy." This post describes recent trends in changes in wages and inflation. Your link about purchasing power 2021-2022 (and the rest of your comment) does not negate anything mentioned in the article.
This seems less of an attempt to inform but rather maintaining that good news about wages must be accompanied by bad news somehow, as has been typical.
It would be cool if a private citizen or two set up tables around Idaho towns and just gave away these banned books to anyone that wanted them. The fear is those people that follow the teaching of a peace loving hippie that lived 2000 years ago would probably beat them up and threaten to kill them.
