We’ve been living with the consequences of Trump for 8 years. The democrats have been in power for 4 years. I’m not aware of anything the democrats have done to make a dictator less likely. They haven’t cut presidential powers. They haven’t even attempted meaningful healthcare reform. But I’m the one sea lioning… Libs…

What is the opposition proposing to make it harder for that? Actual policies please

You’re doing the lords work

It’s pretty insane. If the guy’s not good enough to run for president how could he possibly be good enough for the job.

I’m really out of practice, but I remember that onion fondly. My teacher would have us write our fundamental principles down and then do it again a year later and compare.

I trained tai chi and a little ba gua. I sparred a little with some karate and take kwon do people. I cleaned up. I did some light sparring with a ba gua guy and he was literally throwing me around effortlessly.

I was taught well. I would imagine that my teacher was 1/1000. When looking for him, I found at least 5 different schools that had no idea what they were doing and teaching tai chi anyways.

Progressive policies are popular. There’s a phenomenon where centrists pretend to be progressive in order to be elected and then do a heel turn.

‘Et tu Bernie?’ References this. And here I am having to explain very recent history to some lib in defense of some leftist/progressive I’ve never met because libs can’t take any fucking criticism during any fucking time. Maybe stop for a moment and engage some critical thinking. We weren’t happy to see biden drop out JUST because he’s old. Everyone was hoping for policy change, but that dreams gone, and Trump’s up in polls as a result…

Essentially ensuring any RFK voter is taken from biden and not Trump

Exactly. It would be an incredible way to push forward lgbt+ rights. I’d prefer a candidate with good politics, but I’d be lying if I didn’t like the idea of how it would ruffle bigots… But Harris’s main goal is to get elected.

New Hampshire is 4 seats. Unless the race has been decided by single digits, this is a non story. Polling in July doesn’t tell you anything. See?

Each swing state specifically

And November is a long way away. These articles about polling are ridiculous. Harris isn’t even officially the candidate yet

New Hampshire is 4 seats. Come back when she’s winning Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia, Nevada, or North Carolina

My instance doesn’t let me see who down voted. I used to be on kbin.social and it used to be nice to see both. Knowing a nazi sympathizer is down voting you is a badge of honor… anyways, I appreciate you putting out the data.

I’m unsure why I was down voted when your response backed me up. 44 years ago is pretty recent

The incumbents not being challenged is relatively recent though. It’s been that way my entire life, but not my parents

Obama’s primary wins are probably the last time they were actually democratic.

Good advice. It’s also good to have clear boundaries set up. The ideal. The what you expect, and the non negotiable. Start with the ideal. Expecting to get pushed towards what you expect. Never budge on the nonnegotiable.

Supreme Court reform is necessary, but this is not an election issue. This is the type of thing you fix immediately not use as an election issue. I’m afraid it’s too little too late Joe

If they win it was legit. If not there’s interference. Plan b isn’t do nothing and hope for the best
