Die hard Democrats would never have voted for him anyway.

The issue is not getting Democrats to not vote for Trump, the issue is getting Democrats to vote.

Not if he murdered Bob’s family. Conservatives start caring once it actually affects them personally (they have a gay child and suddenly support gay rights). If he murdered Bob’s neighbors though Bob would still vote for him.

To be fair, this is far from Trump’s first crime.
Forgive us for thinking that doing the same thing might not lead to different results.

Okay, then protest. And also VOTE.

Throwing your hands up in the air saying “voting doesn’t work so I’m not going to do anything” is just allowing them to dictate everything that will happen.

When Vladimir Putin is counting the votes, you’re not going to vote him out of office.

Russians that literally live under Vladimir Putin risk their lives to protest. You have politicians that you admit want to become the next Putin but won’t say anything or of fear of pepper spray.

There’s an internet meme about France surrendering. French politicians try to increase the retirement age and the population takes to the streets. American politicians try to take away your democracy and American citizens just roll over to expose their belly.
It’s not the French that surrender at the slightest bit of difficulty.

State Department official resigns after Biden administration says Israel not blocking Gaza aid (www.middleeasteye.net)

A career State Department official resigned from her post on Tuesday, saying she could no longer work for the Biden administration after it released a report concluding that Israel was not preventing the flow of aid to Gaza....

Trump is a nightmare and must be stopped at all costs.

That doesn’t mean there can’t be calls for Biden to do better or call him out for blatant lies.

In what reality is the person refusing to lie to cover up human rights abuses the bad guy?

We can do both things. We can criticize Biden and recognize that Trump is the devil.

Saying that Biden can “nEvEr Be CrItIcIzEd!!!” is the exact same behaviour Trump supporters get demonized for.

edit: this is why democrats lose

“Should Politicians try to be better?”

“No, it’s the voters who are wrong. Biden can do anything he wants as long as it’s still not as bad as Trump and nobody should say anything about. THAT is a functional democracy!”

So Biden can do anything he wants up to the election? Why would he give a shit after the election?

I get the analogy you’re trying to make, but maybe want to switch to something else.

Like any other vaccine?

I was curious if they actually bothered to define what “woke” is. Obviously they don’t, you can’t define the boogey man.

I did find their “how do we rate things” page and the first criteria is: “do they donate to social justice causes.”

How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?

'Confused' Judge Cannon needed concept explained 'slowly' to her in court by lawyers: NYT (www.rawstory.com)

As part of an analysis of how U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, reports from her courtroom show a judge who is both “prickly” and" insecure" and often has trouble understanding what lawyers from both sides try to explain to her....

“Biden is so bad that Trump might actually get elected” is not the defence of Republicans that you think it is.

The problem also is it’s up to the onlookers to decide who “won”.

I’m not sure if the prosecutors had any standing to have her recused.

Maybe not at the time, but how about now?

Two muffins are baking in an oven. One muffin turns to the other and says “sure is hot in here isn’t it?”
To which the other muffin replies “Holy crap! A talking muffin!”

Changing the muffins to cookies would not make it a different joke.

I don’t know if I’d call it a paraphrase when it’s using 90% the exact same words.

without it’s original meaning being altered.

I think you mean “without its original meaningfully being altered.”

It is good to design to account for stupidity

Is the rock or sign putting people in danger? I’d argue they account for stupidity by stopping the people who aren’t paying attention and shouldn’t be driving right now.

The dangerous driver is stopped on an inanimate object instead of causing an accident and no one is hurt.

downvotes and upvotes don’t mean anything m8.

Well, they’re used for sorting but that’s it.

I would be surprised if many younger people in this era would have the patience to make it to the bottom row of this graphic.

That’s not a patience issue, that’s a design issue that has been eliminated in modern games.

There’s no reason to delay progress by making players repeatedly play through several trivial fights before getting back to where they are having a challenge. It was done in the NES era because they were operating under the philosophy that “the longer it takes to beat the game = the more hours of gameplay in it.” It didn’t matter if most of those gameplay hours were trivial digital chores like stomping Glass Joe yet again.

It’s more of a “This is all we had” than it is “people used to have more patience”. Looks at all the MMOs that are non-stop digital chores that people have the patience for.
