Dean Phillips is literally just a younger Joe Biden, he is running on "I'm not old". Williamson is running on Bernie's platform and is actually running on a platform of reform, regardless if you like her or not she is actually something different imo.

I was there. I started slow clapping and slowly, but surely, everyone joined me as your father walked out in shame. The waitress came up to me and asked "who was that brave man that gave me that tip?" And I told her "your soul mate".

Correct. The record shows he hasn't ask for a cease fire and should have done more early on. You are right, and don't let the fandom of a political figure get in the way of the facts of a situation. I respect Bernie and that's why I along with others needed him to stand against what's happening.

Have you tried the library? It's definitely location dependent but I've found it's a good way watch obscure things and whenever I don't want to "find" this online I'll check there first. I also like that it gives the city a reason to keep the library open by having more people use it.

Try the library.

Oregon, PDX: I've noticed a lot of businesses and restaurants closing and a ton more overdoses and emergency vehicles downtown.

My job specifically relies on business to business interactions and NOBODY wants to be downtown. It's to the point Ted Wheeler (mayor) is now pleading for people to go back to the office because the commercial realastate bubble is on the verge of hitting and business owners know it.

We are blindly waking around hoping things go back to the way they were and I see so many delusional takes and wonder where we are going to be next year as a city.

It's honestly what makes conservatives hate people on the left. The smugness that leads people to run back to their tribe and never having the ability to reaccess a believe because the second you do you have people like the poster above ready to do a victory lap and not accept someone that was able to get out of a circular thinking loop.

It's on both sides. I've had to look at specific believes that in practice didn't pan out the way I thought and if mentioned it to my friends group they would call me a far right shill or whatever bullshit term is being used right now.

There is little room for nuance and having a conversation that's not surface level black and white opens you up for slander at times.

Not an expert on this at all but I feel like it's less of "the human race is going to die out" vs the owner class needs cheap labor and bodies for war to continue infinite growth.

My running theory is in the United States, Republican's obsession with abortion is tied to the fact they need poor and broken families to pump out kids for future cheap labor and the prison industrial complex to make a nation function moving forward. That and the gray sunami of a upside down pyramid with not enough young to take care of the older generations (I think Japan and China are experiencing this currently).

I would have to say Elden Ring. Just walking out to see limgrave and all of it's glory and the pure joy of a non linear souls like with exploration I've never experienced before made this a top 5 best game ever.

I played it on PlayStation 4 and quite honestly it felt great with the trackpad and the placement of the sticks where I could really feel responsive with my movement in PVP.

Playing new game is fun but man I would pay to have a brain injury to forget everything about Elden Ring just to experience it for the first time.

S10e has been better than it should be. I don't want to find a replacement.

He is senile. That doesn't mean I don't like his administrations policies and that doesn't take away that he has done more for a progressive agenda than what was expected.

He's on the same path as Regan was with his age, the difference is social media wasn't a thing so they could hide Regan easier.

That's a deeper question and not what I was talking about but as a fake populist? Yeah, in the eyes of his base. He's really good at messaging and straight up lying about being pro worker and for the people.

I feel the current administration has done tangible things policy wise to help people but the Democrats don't know how to take a victory lap when they accomplish these achievements.

I think the general population, indicated by recent polls, think Biden is too old and not up to do a second term. They want anybody else to run against Trump.

the issue is you are thinking I'm cheerleading Trump and that's not my intention. Im pointing out that there is voting block that is ready to sit out over the lack of enthusiasm for Biden and hatred for the political institutions that haven't helped the average voter over the years.

It's how Trump got elected in the first place.

I hope others feel the same as you but I've lost faith in the electorial college and the two parties a long time ago.
