You do not feel the consequences of good policy in your bones.
I am certain this bit here is where we may just have to disagree my friend. It has been so long since we have had bones-deep good policy we have forgotten what that might feel like.
Regardless, this is a lesson the DNC must learn, not you or i. All the 10 page excuses are meaningless if you first aren’t elected to push em, and that’s where they are right now
Yeah this “dems bad at messaging” line of excuses is really tired to me. If things are going good in your life you don’t need to be told by someone that it is, you just know it in your bones.
Conversely all the “messaging” in the world won’t convince us things are going fine when our daily life experience is the opposite.
Dems aren’t bad at messaging because they are bad at getting the word out, it’s that decades of messaging without follow-through with measurable, noticeable increase in quality of our daily lives means we don’t believe the message anymore
If you’re someone’s boss and all they ever do when they fuck up is blame others for their failures and when you bring em in your office they hand you a 10 page document explaining all the work they tried to do, pedantically explaining how you’re and idiot that “just doesn’t see all the work they’ve looked into.” ?? You’d fuckin fire em right?
Voters have shifted right because they’re hurting
I don’t believe this is the case.
The Democratic Party took many steps rightward in Harris’ campaign (border security, death penalty, cheney).
Trump barely increased his vote count from 2020, like mayyybe 40k more votes?
15 million Dem voters from 2020 didn’t vote at all this time rather more people voting R.
Leftist voices within the DNC spoke urgently and stridently about the DNCs need to listen to its left base more or face backlash.
You got it backwards, the DNC misread the people and shifted to the right of its own base
Opinion: Authors that proclaim voters “need to be more educated” should maybe be forced to buy a book on how politics work… have always worked, since the beginning of time.
Then: as they quite clearly don’t know how to use a book properly they should shove that book as far up their asses as it can go.
The only way forward for the people of America is to leave both corrupted corporate parties behind.
Yeah what i mean is it’s stupid to ask people who don’t care about the product or the consumer, “why?”. This is an anti-consumer move clearly designed to make the ceo more money. So why even ask? Unnecessary. Asking them is begging them to lie to your face.
Fuck the boss, man. When have they known shit? Gotta stop asking em things like we don’t know the answer. I’d be interested in the opinion of one of the devs maybe, but never the ceo. They’re as useless and predictable as a magic 8 ball
I believe thescene where they get their palms read was also cut from the theatrical release
Lol i bet in 4 years we’ll be beggin’ for a moderate Dem like Cheney
God i’ll never forget where i was when he dropped out. I had phone banked and donated and I was watching his concession speech just…wrecked maaan, wrecked at how the DNC et al had ratfucked him and how tilted the game was… and while I’m saltin my booze with tears someone in the group asks him “What do we do now?” and he says something like
“Vote Dem, vote in your primaries”
and my heart fell in that shitty whiskey with the rest. Maaaan, i never knew i still had faith to lose until that moment.
Get to know your neighbors. Organizing doesn’t have to mean politically, and community is the only strength we have.
I’m dead serious. Get to know your neighbors. At home. At work? (lolsafely) Do less work, more talking to your co-workers about work. About whatever. But yaknow, get to know them. And probably find out you agree about a lot of the stuff that’s not on tv.
Organizing isn’t some nebulous concept, politics isn’t for lawyers. Organizing (and politicking) 's just… talking to people. People who like you n me who can’t “influence politics” and don’t know how to start. But we do know what we need.
People power is right there with us every day, politics is everyday life. So get to know your neighbors
Yoyo look, this guy’s fucking nostradamus up in here, right? It’s gonna happen just like this.
I’m thinking newsome is the “perfect” candidate for 28.
Whoever it is, I bet you, just like me can’t wait to be told how stupid i am and actually great they are by credulous online political minds who call parroting the pundits talking points word-for-word fucking theory
I’ve heard in the theatrical version he goes back and ends his friendship right? In the version i saw
He goes back in to the womb using a sonogram and wraps the umbilical cord around his neck killing himself so he instead never meets her
I really liked that movie. Last ¼ was a tough watch, i get why it wasn’t popular. But i loved the movie too
I saw a version with a different ending (cuz piracy) than that what was widely released in theaters and i really liked it. Have you seen both? Do you know what I’m talking about?
The dream sequences alone with the egg and the screaming say youre probably righ
🎶expeee-eeee-eeellled!!… From the garden of Eden🎶
You’ll get it
Fuck I’m crying just thinking about it
Oh my God you guys you need to watch The Naked Man
I’m telling you it’s fucking hilarious. I swear. Look:
Estranged pharmacist’s son who is a savant at chiropractor by day/underground pro-wrestler by night goes on a murderous rampage to avenge his father’s murder at the hands of a quadriplegic pharmacutical ceo and his elvis impersonator bodyguard.
He uses his knowledge of wrestling and the human skeleton to commit devastating chiropractic attacks on his enemies.
He’s chased by a detective who’s a genius but also clinically depressed and…You must watch this movie. I’m not crazy! It’s amazing!
Please!
My experience says it probably doesn’t matter however you choose to tell them but do tell them, as soon as you can. They’ll want input on your decisions you know. They’ll probably want you to fight this. They’ll probably ask a lot of you. They’ll demand you “waste away enduring treatment” But do tell them anyway, for them.
That’s what this is about, yeah? Just bite the bullet and do it, today. Get it out there. Then listen to them when they speak. Maybe you’ll change your mind. Maybe you’ll decide to fight. Maybe you will not. But don’t you keep it a secret, that’s against the rules. You made a deal with your family, don’t break it because you’re afraid of losing a fight you could win.
I dunno if it’s always the case but it can have long lasting effects on them if you don’t give them their chance to say goodbye. My wife (40) still has trouble with the shock and loss from 8 years old when her gramma kept her cancer from her family until the very end.
So ill shut up now, feel weird already talking so confidently bout something so personal to someone…So log off, buck up, and tell them. You know they’re gonna bug the shit out of you, but who knows, maybe they’ll convince you. Maybe during this trouble you all will find a deeper love together than you knew you could feel.
Obviously some Internet asswipe like me can’t be trusted with something so important. Don’t be afraid of their love, go tell em, right now. <3
It is. All the “doom and gloom” rings hollow on satisfied ears. There must be a real problems people see daily. False reasons for those very real problems are where right wing propaganda does its work
