‘I hate Democrats, but I love Abdul’: voters who left over Gaza return for progressive push

Reply in thread

From an outsider looking in,

Trump may have been necessary to get America on the right track. Had they voted Kamala in, things wouldn’t change. She even said that on the campaign trail.

If you boil it down to the barest of reasons, Trump was voted in because people wanted change. He’s a liar, a scumbag, and a rapist, and as much as you and I think the other side is dumb as fuck for voting him in, both sides realize that change is needed.

Now that Trump has been allowed to fuck things up so bad it seems that Americans are actually learning how their political system works and doing what they should have been doing all along. (Mainly voting in primaries, from my POV.)

I hope the upcoming elections reel him in (Preferably all the way to jail) and you guys can actually get people working to improve the country. Keep it up, Americans.

This is so wrong and how people end up with misbehaving pets that shit and piss all over. Dogs do remember things and using both positive and negative reinforcement is the way to go.

Trying to explain it in English is useless, yes. You have to communicate like another dog would.

The dog pees or poos on the floor? You take them to the pee, you point their face at it, tell them “no!” in a stern voice, then put them where they’re supposed to go.

Chewed up pillow? Same thing, but instead of putting them outside or whatever, give them something they are allowed to chew.

They’re not going to like it, but dogs nip at eachother to communicate when they don’t like what the other dog is doing. They’ll be fine.

But DO NOT hit your dog. You’re not punishing them, you’re giving them guidance. Dogs want you to be happy with them and you want them to trust you.

And also do the positive reinforcement stuff you hear about all the time, this comment is just not about that.
