Yes, I'm an asshole, but my responses are genuine and I treat people accordingly and honestly. Deplatform those who wish to deplatform others.

@kenyon_burnham_ @TrueSlazac I guess it’s a good thing that every other country gets the government they want and we’re just stuck with a government and benefits the wealthy few, Argentina and Israel. 🤷🏻♀️

“Hey this electoral system is unfair”
“Oh yeah? Well, did you know, heh, that it’s unfair BY DESIGN?”

63% of Americans were not taught basic civics in sixth grade.

@ang3lbonez @Yarinirened The more I read your posts the more it sounds like you're coming from a place of jealousy.

@Joemoth11098375 @tenyoush @OvereactingMark Not to mention they includes theoretical imaginary numbers. Meaning in reality they don't exist. The OP proving he posted shit without understanding it nor the factual scientific post he's trying to meme on. Once again proving it's not science, but ideology.
English
@tenyoush @OvereactingMark But the meme doesn’t really apply? Biologically is it more or less correct, gender doesn’t really factor into what was being said outside of a personal belief that really has nothing to do with science in the slightest

Solo hay dos sexos. Punto. El resto es ideología que destruye niños y familias.

@SabaSmw @CasuallyGreg @emkenobi George Wallace, Robert Byrd, John Stennis, David Duke, all noted Democrat racists after 1964. For a party switch, doesn't seem like it was very effective. Biden and Hilary both made highly racial statements on record. "...Super predators..."
English
@CasuallyGreg @emkenobi Oh my god you people aren’t smart… you know the parties switched ideologies right? Your little meme isn’t accurate…. Because you’re intentionally hiding the reality
English
Does this dumb piece of shit realize the only reason he’s even in the Supreme Court is because of progressivism? Does he realize the only reason he’s married to a white woman is because of progressivism???

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says progressivism is an existential threat to the United States.

@RepShriThanedar You’re calling out cherry-picking while doing the same thing. ‘When he left office’ vs ‘today’ is just another selective endpoint. Pick a consistent range or it’s all spin. As always, you're still weasel.
English
Gas prices when Biden left office: $3.12/gallon
Gas prices today under Trump: $4.10
MAGA wants to cherry-pick a specific point in time when gas peaked due to the Ukraine War.
The difference is that Biden didn’t attack Ukraine but Trump DID attack Iran.
John Gilbert@MyLiberalPony
@RepShriThanedar Gas is still lower then when Joe Biden was your president. ::Insert Democrat excuse here::

@GavinNewsom @realDonaldTrump How's that speed rail and decades long homeless solution going? Oh wait...

Trump trashes California.
California pays his war bills.
Perhaps it’s time we look into cutting you off, @realDonaldTrump???
Democrats Deliver@DemzDeliver
🚨 California sends $275 billion more to the federal government than it gets back each year.

This is genuinely what right wingers believe. The one held at gunpoint must remain completely calm and rational. But if the cop gets spooked by an acorn falling on the roof of a car, then he gets to unload on you because he “feared for his life”.

English
@micah_erfan ...if your idea of effective governance is how many bills they can sign per day, then yeah. But that sounds more reckless than efficient. Signing a bill on your desk without scrutinizing it. She wouldn't have any time at that rate for proper due diligence.
English
Virginia has the most effective Governor in modern American history, and almost no one has heard about it.
Democrats Deliver@DemzDeliver
Abigail Spanberger has signed over 1,300 bills since becoming Governor. She has been in office for less than 100 days.

@DerekPederson3 @IverTheGreat22 @fakechuck That’s how you get tyranny of the majority. Dense population centers dominate while less populated regions get sidelined. The EC exists to balance that so smaller voices aren’t ignored.
English
@DerekPederson3 @IverTheGreat22 @fakechuck Median voter theorem assumes a uniform electorate that doesn’t exist. Turnout and voters aren’t evenly distributed. A pure popular vote would push campaigns to dense population centers and sideline less populated regions. That’s why we balance population with state influence
English
The arguments for the Electoral College are all basically terrible and its original purpose (so that elites could block the masses from electing a populist demagogue) is clearly a failure.
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.
English
@JCStew1313 @HomeChef_NC @JoyceWhiteVance Sure. But they have no reason to raise it. It's only being raised by Democrats because they believe they have something to gain.
English
@CryptoTX86 @HomeChef_NC @JoyceWhiteVance So you'd be ok with this bill being raised by the Republicans at this time?
English
Smart political move. Takes it to the Rs. Everyone is seeing Trump fall apart in real time. Make his party vote, or at least refuse to vote on this measure, and keep the issue live for the election.
Hungary seems to be inspiring people here too.
Andrew Solender@AndrewSolender
NEW: Raskin, w/ 50 House Dem co-sponsors, formally introduces a bill which would create a commission to assess Trump's fitness for office under the 25th Amendment. Bill text here: documentcloud.org/documents/2804… Story TK

@Poerisija @SocialistRage You making assumptions not even made. So just going to discard your bullshit.

@CryptoTX86 @SocialistRage But its ok when the AI overlords do it? Fucking pathetic.

Look at the language they're trying to use lmao "maniac" & "terrifying"

@TheLastNeocon @JamesSurowiecki It remains a check on populism. Trump is an anomaly (I think).

English
@JamesSurowiecki Except, you know, the civic arguments from the founding fathers. They chose a constitutional Republic intentionally. There's a reason people warn about "tyranny of the majority". The electoral college functions in part as a balance between the states and the people.
English
People defend the Electoral College because it balances two things: the will of the people and the role of the states. It’s not just tradition; it’s a compromise to prevent population centers from having total control. Which is why we are not a direct democracy.
Carl@HistoryBoomer
People defend the Electoral College for the same reason they defend pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving: tradition. But tradition is no reason to keep two things that are bad for America.
English
@Bestboy_Rhys @xQc @pokimanelol Them being hurt and upset is reasonable. Still does not take away from the fact they still had agency in the situation. They could have said no at any time. They could have chosen not to go across the country and meet up under dubious circumstances. To your question; irrelevant.
English
@CryptoTX86 @xQc @pokimanelol they are not responsible for the fact that the person they thought they were building something with was in a relationship. They have every right to be upset and hurt. How would you feel if you found out your gf lived with a man and was just using you for attention?
English
Who are the victims in this case, and please elaborate on victims of WHAT? @pokimanelol
yeet@Awk20000
Pokimane addresses the Sykkuno situation "I realized I'm stressing about it so much and Sykkuno hasn't even said anything yet..and something about that didn't really sit right with me" "It's just so sad and disappointing how often this kind of thing seems to happen..especially when it comes from ppl that u don't expect..what I really want to say is, I am just so so sorry for all the hurt..to the victims, to our communities..I feel like I feel everyone's hurt and shock and confusion and I'm right there with ya" "I really hope the ppl that do need to speak up, will"
English
@JCStew1313 @HomeChef_NC @JoyceWhiteVance I 100% can. If they truly have integrity, then next time they hold office, they need to bring up the bill. Not only will it be easier to pass but I'll be less skeptical of their motives.
English
@CryptoTX86 @HomeChef_NC @JoyceWhiteVance And you can't listen to a year of "Biden has dementia" and then say this bill is coming from a dishonest place.
English
@naeviswelovveu @veizau The same could be said about women defending bitches because they're women. Am I doing it right? A bullshit overgeneralized sexist statement with grounded substance? Just shitting on the opposite sex for the sake of being a dick?
