I assume that the user that you are responding to was probably referring to Manchin, Sinema, and the various old school Democrats that engage in insider trading and the like and refuse to fix such issues in our laws.

In addition to the more extreme examples like Manchin and Sinema who exist as spoiler votes, the majority of the Democratic party also enable the Republican party by constant attempts to compromise resulting in a rightward Overton window shift. Because Democratic politicians refuse to confront Republicans when the latter refuse to engage in good faith arguments, agreements, and debates.

Outside of that, they also tend not use what power they have to do good. Like how Roe v Wade was never codified, even during times when Dems had control of the house and senate.

There is a pretty obvious difference between accidentally misgendering and maliciously misgendering.

Exactly. I don't care about tiktok (I'm more concerned with the parts of this legislation) but this'll be interesting. The bad news is that if tiktok wins this, other corporations will definitely start up with some new shenanigans

Not here to fight you, but this line of thinking might be why people downvote you for being a language/grammar nazi.

Hol up, where in your quotes did they mention genocide against Israelis? Supporting the end of Palestinian genocide and apartheid isn't calling for genocide of Israelis.

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense to be conditioning a military campaign engaged in by an ally,” he said. He added that “there’s no question if there are allegations, they will be the subject of scrutiny and review,” but said he doesn’t think the resolution is the right approach.

"Hey, I just saw your brother murder someone, we need to call the cops!"

"Oh no, that's not good! But we can't call the cops, I've always supported my brother, I can't stop now when he is in trouble already!"

Even as someone against the death penalty, hard disagree. Sometimes when a bastard fascist shows you their colors...

And if you are used to watching chase scenes at the speed of a nursing home relay race. But they're done by cyberpunk teens that for some reason are on one of the lowest tech planets.

Well, the world is already built around them. They'll be okay

Lol, my father constantly telling me to toughen up is what led to me going to therapy.

Toughening doesn't permanently do the trick, it leads to repression of emotion and is a very isolating thing. It's better instead to be vulnerable and expand your support network. One strong tree isn't as strong as the interlocked roots of a forest.

Hell yeah, get it

Why do you think they shifted their policy? It's because dem voters are threatening to not vote for them if they are shitty. Yeah, democrats have a problem with not voting together leading to 2016-like elections, but that type of event causes the party to correct themselves a little. It'd be better if they would actually learn the lesson though.

They won't because they are corporatists and reactionary, but maybe one day.

To be fair, why do you think they're antisemitic? Could it be the years and years of oppression under Israel, who have conflated themselves with Judaism the entire time?

This isn't me saying that antisemitism is good, but the same reason you were confused about the ties between Judaism and Israel (and lack thereof) is probably the same thing going through their heads.

While your snarky comment is technically right, you seem to be intentionally ignoring this person's actual point.

Sure, they'll still genocide without the US' help. But that doesn't mean we should continue helping them?

Besides, having a country that tends to ally with Israel stop providing them weapons might actually make them consider their actions more. Doubtful, but still infinitely more useful than continuing to give aid.

Yikes. I don't like Trump or Trump supporters (or Republicans/Republican supporters for that matter), but you've gotta calm down, my guy.

These people have spent their lives gaslighted by bad people, that's no reason to kill them. One of my favorite people was raised VERY evangelist, another friend raised Mormon, and they've educated themselves out of that.

We don't euthanize people with stubbed toes, nor should we abandon those that are being gaslit and lied to constantly. They already get their just desserts by living under the policies of those they voted for.

Also, ableist slurs? Do better.

Consider that gender is a made up concept and one can actually pick and choose any part of any gender norm to apply to themselves.

Also consider that your friend might not be ready for a potential next step in their gender discovery journey and you should respect that. Just be a safe person to come out to when/if they're ready. Choosing their pronouns for them is both rude as fuck and potentially dangerous for them.

I'd love to see more answers about this, I'm looking to buy some good tri-ply soon.

If i end up doing my own research I'll post about it here (eventually)

You're entitled to your opinion! I would have liked them more if they were junkier, but to me they were more of a polished mid-century/greaser asthetic that didn't fit in on a sand planet. Street gang on Coruscant? That casino planet I forget the name of? Sure, why not! But Tatooine? Nah, too polished. Sand is ruining that paint in one joy ride.

Hello! I am interested in MORDHAU if it is still available.

Thanks for doing this!
