  We can hopefully get around to the other things eventually

  I’ve heard this every election cycle my entire life, particularly from the DNC. “We can’t have that because of some arbitrary norm that we have to respect and adhere to that we could totally change, but, oopsies, would ya look at that, we lost the majority, so give us money and elect us and we promise this time we’ll get to it! Eventually, after we handle all this other stuff that came up since the last time we got absolutely nothing done to help you, but we promise, this time, for real.”

  but we can’t do it all at the same time.

  Says who? We make the rules, it’s our government, where in the Constitution does it say “You may only enact legislation that incrementally changes things for the better over the course of decades, assuming none of it is undone?”

  so just be happy that we’ve seen anything happen.

  Why? When it doesn’t change anything, and it’s just going to be undone, why should we be happy about that? Why do we have to keep being “happy” that nothing is changing for the better? Why do we have to keep applauding and cheering and supporting this bullshit when it means absolutely nothing?

  This is like someone telling you they’re cold, and you light a match and hold it between you both. When they ask why you don’t use the match to light some of the logs and paper littered around the room for more warmth, you let the match burn out and tell them they should be happy you did something.

  Like, wow, they’re still cold, the resources are still scattered around the room unused, the “fire” burnt out shortly after it was lit, and now they’re not allowed to complain about it either.

  The G looks completely unrelated to any of the other letters.

  I see this, since half of the letters appear to be uppercase, and the other half lowercase:

  Three Mile Island, and they want to do it to power their AI development. Not move their current servers and infrastructure to the nuclear power grid.

  And the owner of Three Mile Island, who’s working with Microsoft, is trying to get the fed to give him the money needed to get the plant running again. Taxpayer money for Microsoft’s AI project that they’ll reap all the reward from.

  Ok, what about passengers?

  What about kids? Should they start go right from ABC’s to the Tesla Model Y 2020-2021 Owners Manual?

  What if it’s a rental, do you sit down and read the owners manual in the parking lot of the rental place before you go anywhere?

  Door handles have basically been an industry standard as they are (mechanical) because of form and function. They just work, there is zero reason that door handles need to be electric and have a manual emergency release. The only reason I could grasp from the smallest straws was aesthetics: they look cooler/go better with the car.

  Lamborghinis and Ferrari’s have mechanical door handles, if it’s good enough for them, it should be good enough for Musk.

  Lmao, sorry they couldn’t handle the truth, just like you, bud.

  Keep plugging your ears and telling the electorate their wrong, maybe you and the DNC will lose another 11 million Dem votes with your Republican-lite policy platforms.

  Why don’t y’all get ahead of the ball for once and start blaming leftists now for your losses in 2026 and 2028? It’d be the first time the DNC was progressive in my lifetime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨While America Voted, Israel Set the Stage for Annexing Northern Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you’re wrong and can’t.

  And yeah, wonder myself and other leftists are angry over being blamed for y’all refusing to work with us.

  Enjoy losing 2028. Was that calm enough? 🖕

  I didn’t say Trump would be better, and you didn’t answer my question or address how Biden and Harris’ foreign policy regarding Israel made any sense.

  I said Harris and Biden showed unconditional support to a fascist leader (Netanyahu) despite the fact that Netanyahu:

  • Was openly working with Trump, their fascist opponent,

  • Was believed to be actively working to sabotage the ceasefire/peace talks by elected members of their own party to help get their fascist opponent elected,

  • Is actively committing a genocide in Palestine, as well as attacking Lebanon and Iran, which Biden has not once stopped unconditionally supporting (and Harris indicated she would do the same) despite vocal opposition from their voting base,

  • Continues to receive unconditional support in the UN under the Biden administration despite the international community calling for investigations into Israeli government leadership and their genocide, war crimes, illegal settlements, etc.

  So, once again, tell me what the big-brain move here was for Biden and Harris to rail against fascism while unconditionally supporting a fascist actively committing a genocide that their voting base has show vocal opposition to for over a year?

  Ok?

  As late as July 2024, the press was reporting that Trump was in regular talks with Netanyahu.

  I see an article from The Hill and that’s literally the first paragraph. The article is dated Oct. 4, 2024.

  Democrats increasingly suspect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to interfere in U.S. domestic politics by ignoring President Biden’s calls to negotiate a peace deal in Gaza and by confronting Hezbollah and Iran weeks before the U.S. election.

  On Oct. 7, 2024, Reuters reported that Harris stated in an interview she wasn’t worries about Trump’s talk’s with Netanyahu, literally just giving the answer “No,” and reiterating her Middle East policy.

  So the grand move was to keep unconditionally supporting a fascist world leader’s genocide while he sabotages your ceasefire/peace efforts and your campaign while openly meeting with your fascist opponent, all while your base is saying to stop unconditionally supporting the fascist world leader?

  Is there a big brain, 4D chess move I’m missing here? I understand AIPAC and the Jewish and Israeli communities are an important demographic for the DNC, but come on… How is this not “Leopards wouldn’t eat my face” from the people always screaming about leopards eating faces?

  I had a coworker who cited music licensing as the sole reason he can’t find his favorite show anymore: The Drew Carrey Show. Whatever schmuck owns the music licensing refuses to cooperate with the rest of the show owners, so it can’t be streamed or distributed anywhere.

  Another example would be Scrubs, most of the songs used in the show (including key moments and the OG songs were perfect for them) have been edited out and replaced because of licensing issues. Unless you’ve got the DVDs or pirated older versions, you’re stuck with the new music and it’s not the same.
