@TheKennyMiles @StatisticUrban If he wasn't such a dogshit candidate, maybe he could have won over those voters or maybe some of the millions who just stayed home.

@StatisticUrban If half the green voters went with Casey, he would have won.

? You're not understanding what I'm saying.
I'm not denying it's the symbol they say it is. I'm saying I don't think it's weird that Platner or anyone else didn't recognize it as Nazi imagery.
If you asked me to think of Nazi imagery, I'm not thinking about Platner's tattoo. And even if you specifically told me that the Nazis used a skull and crossbones on their uniform, I wouldn't be able to tell you which skull and crossbones was the Nazi one.
English
@LeftYimby If it's not the symbol people are claiming it is, what do you think it actually represents?
English
Seriously? No I can't fucking see the logo on his hat. It kind of looks like the space jam logo.
Setting everything else aside, this idea that this skull and cross bones logo is extremely recognizable to everyone as obvious Nazi imagery is absurd.

@toweypat @dontsippy Holy cow, man. Don't you know the meme? Can't you see the little logo on this guy's hat?

Love the scare-quote around "unmasculine" here lol
CFA obviously doing the same right-wing gender norm bullshit every Nazi on this site does, but he still wants credit for being skeptical of it. Perfect centrist
Centrism Fan Acct 🔹@Wilson__Valdez
Dems have a major image problem among men and are seen as 'un-masculine' and then every DSA person looks exactly like this guy. And despite the DSA people actually hating Dems, they get held up as 'representative' of Dem males. The Soy Boy demo but in real life. It's a real problem, given that most of politics now is just bullshit vibes.

@melissadderosa You're right. Why can't they be more calculating and heartless like you were when you assisted your boss in covering up his sexual assaults?
English
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the fringe left has a glass jaw unlike anything I’ve ever seen in politics. The slightest criticism triggers a full-on keyboard meltdown worthy of a child.

@chrisbrunet @SocialistShinji @B80748543 @souljagoyteller You're so stupid that I thought this was satire.
Figured there was no way you just chose Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson at random. You've got to be purposely making fun of people who think this way. Right?
But nope. Just genuinely stupid.
Congrats I guess.

@SocialistShinji @B80748543 @souljagoyteller i do not think Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson would be happy if they saw ballots printed in Mandarin

He’s really listed on the ballot as Jack Kennedy Schlossberg lmfaoooo

@RitchieSzn_34 @Joe_McCoy12 @LeafsSeason @joeyferg In what sense is he "established?" He has played 107 games across 3 seasons and was a healthy scratch for multiple stretches last year due to concerns about his defense.
English
@LeftYimby @Joe_McCoy12 @LeafsSeason @joeyferg I didn’t say it doesn’t matter, i said if a guy is already established as a nhl player at his height I don’t think that is that big of a factor of how good or bad he is.
English
Emil Andrae is the exact type of underutilized player with good underlying stats some other team like the Hurricanes or Panthers trade for and then turns into a core piece. Not guaranteed to happen, but these are the exact type of guys the Leafs need to take a swing at to improve
English
@RitchieSzn_34 @Joe_McCoy12 @LeafsSeason @joeyferg You're really saying height has no impact on success at the NHL level?
The average height of men in NA and Europe where nearly all NHL players come from is about 5 foot 9. The average NHL player is 6 foot 1. Why do you think that is? You think it's because height doesn't matter?
English
@LeftYimby @Joe_McCoy12 @LeafsSeason @joeyferg Lol if he's not good I can assure you it's not the height that's his problem. Just because a player is shorter or taller than average doesn't make him better or worse especially when he's near 200 pounds.
English
@alicianieves__ @Mike_from_PA You make it sound nefarious as though factions within a political party aren't constantly vying for political power.
We're not trying to be mean. You guys have failed to effectively combat republicans. We've come to help. It's like taking the keys from an elderly parent.
English
@Mike_from_PA Perfect example of why DP needs to kick out all DSA candidates from VAN database. Their intentions are clear.
English
The Democratic Party must take the DSA threat seriously if it wishes to remain nationally competitive and not descend into a regional insurgent media spectacle. One way is banning DSA candidates from the primary process, or at least ban them from the VAN voter database.

The Democrats have lost so much ground to the Republicans since 1969, it's almost hard to believe. Only two, 2 term Presidents in nearly 60 years and any modest gains in their time in office were immediately lost in huge swings right after they left office.
Dem party leaders have been failing for decades and we're supposed to be afraid that a new faction is taking charge?
English
Yea bud, size has no role in success at the NHL level, a hyper competitive environment where everyone kills themselves for any possible edge. 🙄
Being 5 foot 9 isn't going up stop him from succeeding in the NHL. But being one of the shortest players in the NHL is an obvious disadvantage.
English
@Joe_McCoy12 @RitchieSzn_34 @LeafsSeason @joeyferg Of course Sweden isn’t the nhl I’m not saying that, I’m speaking on the way the player played the game. Hes built for the nhl, his size has absolutely no role in it at all.
English
Are you seriously asking if there is a substantial difference between being one of the 20 shortest players in the NHL and being on the short side of average?
90% of NHL players are between 5 foot 10 and 6 foot 3. That is a range of only 5 inches. So yes, 2 inches is a big difference.
English
@Joe_McCoy12 @LeafsSeason @joeyferg So the difference between in 5’9 and 5’11 is considered substantial?

The Sebring Police Department in Florida literally seized an old lady's house cause they felt she wasn't doing a good enough job with her lawn work.
Then they posed next to the foreclosure sale sign proud as hell and thought they would be congratulated like they solved a murder.

@genomachinooo @The13thBird @even_steven8tht Anyone who values a dog's life over their own should probably just give up. Pathetic.
English
@The13thBird @even_steven8tht Yeah I just don’t see shooting a dog as necessary under almost any circumstance
English
This man managed to restrain himself from shooting a charging pit bull and yet somehow a trained cop dropped multiple rounds into a labradoodle. The police are so pathetic.

This is some pretty good restraint on not pulling the trigger

Still really hate that the Knicks won a championship. I think I hate the Knicks winning more than I have hated the result of any game not involving a Philly team, ever.

@AnneDornPhilly @mindyisser Great job naming one single undeserving protest target. Dumbfuck.
English
@LeftYimby @mindyisser I have not done a deep dive on what any of the synagogues that have been protested over the past 2.5 years have been up to. It is unrealistic to expect the public at large to distinguish between innocent and deserving protest targets. Blanket presumption of innocence is realistic
English
sorry that happened to you or whatever but the thing they’re protesting is actually more depressing. this would never happen at my synagogue, so maybe ask yourself why that is and what the difference is between the two institutions.
Karen Pollock 🎗️@KarenPollock100
It’s difficult to describe the impact of these scenes. They’re protesting outside the synagogue I went to as a child, the venue for my ‘Sunday school’ (Cheder), around the corner from my Jewish primary school. A place I associate with pure joy. Depressing doesn’t come close.
English
Stop being purposely obtuse. It doesn't work.
You don't need to know anything about Mindy's synagogue to answer this question. Name a single synagogue that has been protested in America in the past 2.5 years that was innocent and undeserving of protest.
Until you come up with a name, how about you just shut the fuck up?
English
@LeftYimby @mindyisser I don’t know what synagogue Mindy goes to, so I can’t say what has happened to a synagogue like hers.
Plenty of totally unjustified things have happened in history to synagogues, churches, and houses of worship of all types, as I’m sure you know.
English
@AnneDornPhilly @mindyisser Again. Name one time a synagogue that was not doing an illegal land sale or an IDF fundraiser or the like was protested.
You keep saying not all protesters check facts. OK, show me an example of when that happened and a synagogue like Mindy's was unjustly protested.
I'll wait.
English
@LeftYimby @mindyisser Because Mindy said her synagogue “would never” be protested like this, but that requires all protesters to be the types who check facts about a protest target and only go ahead if targets fit a specific profile. And not all protesters are like that. Plenty would target anyone.
English
@AnneDornPhilly @mindyisser Lol why do you keep saying people don't check their facts?
You do realize this synagogue was holding an illegal land sale, right? So clearly they checked their facts in this case. Can you point to a single protested synagogue that wasn't doing this?
English
@LeftYimby @mindyisser Who is going to arrange the lack of peace? People who don’t check their facts are going to volunteer to do this, and they are going to prevent completely innocent people from knowing peace while they’re at it, while cluelessly leaving guilty parties alone.
