Hi, have you seen where LA is on a map by chance?

That was such a trip when I was high in college lol. Watching that when it came out was amazing.

Is a monogamous couple a molecule?

Not really, my parents would’ve crucified me for this lol

I think it is correct to let a child do something like this in their own space, but I’m not a parent lol

And like I said, my parents who, if you can believe this, are parents, would’ve killed me.

Yeah that’s fucking awful. Ugh

What is duo doing that’s bad with AI?

Just Google it before you speak lmao

Y’all got the spirit but reusable rockets are SOOOOO much cheaper for customers to put something in orbit. That’s why nasa uses them so much.

Hurr durr WheN ITs ReAdY

I love threads like this where we collectively come together and share our YouTube subs and we all grow stronger every time we find a new one to add to our list

That’s wild, the American brain truly cannot comprehend the amount of things you can have for free in the EU and in Nordic countries haha

It’s a good point to remember that in other countries where they have more social safety net and social good baked in to their system the citizens still feel duped. The far right is rising all over the western world right now.

I definitely agree with your points. I want that type of leader on the left who can really changed things for the better here. But the system will never fund him. Bernie was doing crazy things with grass roots fund raising. His 27$ donation campaign was getting thousands of working class people to donate. I didn’t know if we can ever get that kind of effort going again.

I don’t know how you bridge the gap between what the people donate and what’s required to win a presidential campaign because the elite are not going to help a far left candidate the way they help a Biden or Obama.

And that problem assumes we solved the other big issue of getting someone through the primary and selected to run.

Those are the hurdles where I get disheartened thinking about how an actual good candidate would be so hard to elect. They will fight that person every step of the way.

If you believe Michael Moore, the dnc lied at the 2016 convention and stole votes from Bernie in a critical state to ensure Hillary was selected. that’s the type of things that really makes me question how much we could really grab at one time.

To me, it seems necessary to use stepping stones to elect someone who will do the campaign finance law reforms and maybe revamp the primary system. Then you can reach for that ultra progressive candidate. But that’s just a back of a napkin theory. Idk how to really do it.

I agree with you on all that but 1 thing.

I don’t see obama as a problem for progress. The executive is always fighting with the legislature in our system.

https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2012/09/09/when-obama-had-total-control/985146007/

Obama had 60 Senate votes for four months and that’s when the ACA was passed.

It seems to me a bit too reductive to say that he was not doing anything. The system is too complex for that. People think the president has a lever that controls gas prices though, so I don’t expect this fact to matter to a lot of people.

i believe that someone like Pete will respond to pressure as well as appeal broadly, so we voters have a chance to put him there first.

AND ANOTHER THING

YOURE NO BETTER THAN A SELFISH REPUBLICAN WHEN YOU SPEAK ABOUT THE LACK OF AID DIRECTED DIRECTLY TO YOU. ITS ABOUT PROGRESS FOR ALL.

BUT LETS INDULDGE THE STANDARD YOURE INVOKING

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT FOR AMERICANS, YOU DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM A TON OF THE THINGS LISTED BELOW. YOUR CLAIM IS INSANITY.

HERES A FUCKING LIST OF JUST THE LAST 4 YEARS UNDER BIDEN.

https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone/comments/1abyvpa/the_complete_list_what_biden_has_done/

AND EVEN BEYOND THINGS THAT HE WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH, BIDEN SPENT 4 YEARS TRYING TO PASS STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS BEING BLOCKED BY REPUBLICANS THAT TRUMP PUT IN THE SUPREME COURT WHEN HE BEAT HILLARY IN 2016.

OBAMA PASSED THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN, SIGNED THE 2015 PARIS CLIMATE ACCORDS, GOT IRAN TO SIGN A NUCLEAR DEAL, REPEALED DONT ASK DONT TELL AND HELPED SAME SEX MARRIAGE PARTNERS GET SOCIAL SECURITY AND VA BENEFITS, AND MORE HERES A LIST

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/01/03/obamas-top-50-accomplishments-revisited/

CLINTON BALANCED THE FEDERAL BUDGET AND CREATED A SURPLUS AND CREATED A BOOMING ECONOMY WHICH SAW LOW WELFARE, HIGH EMPLOYMENT, 22 MILLION NEW JOBS, HIGHEST HOME OWNERSHIP, AND RECORD ECONOMIC EXPANSION. AS WELL AS GUN LEGISLATION WITH THE BRADY BILL, BUILDING INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SCHOOLS, DISMANTLING NUCLEAR WARHEADS FROM THE COLD WAR, AND MORE HERES A FUCKING LIST

https://clintonwhitehouse5.archives.gov/WH/Accomplishments/eightyears-01.html

AND BEYOND ALL OF THAT, THE STUPIDEST PART OF ALL OF THIS IS THAT KAMALA HAD THE CLOSEST VOTING RECORD TO BERNIE’S IN THE SENATE. SHE RAN A TERRIBLE CAMPAIGN BUT THE VOTING RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

SO THE IDEA THAT YOU ARE PRESENTING HERE IS FUCKING LIES TO JUSTIFY YOUR ACTIONS

I can’t argue with that angle tbh, they really might just be that stupid lol

It’s really down to the individual as to what they believe the Democrats are really up to. It certainly isn’t helping the middle and lower classes. The bar is so low right now…any change that drags us back to the left at all would be mind blowing at this point.

I’m hoping for someone like mayor Pete in 2028 if we are lucky enough to have a fair election by then, he’s a great speaker and likeable to a ton of people I think. He has a shot at uniting the voters.

Is it not appealing enough that Kamala Harris wouldn’t have done ALL THE FUCKING THINGS I LISTED??

YOURE LITERALLY TELLING ME WITH YOUR OWN WORDS THAT ALL THE SHIT I LISTED ISNT ENOUGH FOR YOU. KNOWING THIS WOULD HAPPEN DIDNT PHASE YOU

YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE PYSCHOPATH

YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.

the blood of Palestinians, mothers who die in childbirth, ukrainians, trans people, minorities, deoported immigrants, legal residents in CECOT probably being tortured.

Those people and many more will rest well in their FUCKING GRAVES KNOWING YOU DIDNT GIVE AN INCH TO THE ESTABLISHMENT IN THE MOST CRITICAL ELECTION OF OUR LIVES.

IF YOU VOTED FOR KAMALA THEY WOULD STILL BE HERE TO FIGHT FOR YOU STUPID FUCK

Those beliefs aren’t actually conflicting because the circumstances in which you apply them are different and that matters.

What IS conflicting is saying you don’t approve of what a democrat says or does as president and then actively working in the benefit of someone you KNOW full well is worse. That’s hypocritical.

Sure, but your conflating the common man who votes that way and who we also prescribe the same labels to with the actual representatives with power. Chuck shumer and Nancy pelosi do not want the Bernie’s of the world getting power. They like being the lesser of two evils because they can do almost as much as the trump admin does and be praised for it when in reality it’s still evil. You really think they want citizens United repealed? The patriot act repealed? Federally elected officials banned from buying investments? Fptp voting changed to ranked choice means independents can win and actual implement change.

It’s a duopoly.

Fucking TACO BELL has this in their app…

It’s almost like it threatens their duopoly power

Nuance /=/ doublethink. We were trying to save people… You’re not a good person if you threw your vote away in spite to send a message. People are suffering and dying because of this.
