3·4 days agoI can’t imagine doing it as a parent. My kids drowning is a pretty big, realistic fear. Maybe for a teenager? Even then though…
1·5 days agoWhat’s the other outcome of the US election?
There are the words straight out of Trump’s mouth. If you believe that Democrats will kill more people than Republicans, that’s a completely different conversation. Though it still mostly boils down to: genocide or worse genocide, pick one, and if you don’t pick, you’re likely to get worse genocide.
More people than the Republicans would. And then I would vote Republican. Because that’s the choice on election day.
Edit: if all you’re doing is not voting, you do nothing to help anyone. If you are actually helping in meaningful ways, then voting to pick the easier opponent does not undermine your work.
12·6 days agoPretty sure absolute criminal immunity for the president would be as well.
People didn’t know Biden dropped out of the race until they were looking at the ballot. There is no end to the ignorance.
How do you do that? Unless they’re your kid, you don’t usually have that kind of control over another person.

That amendment really meant consecutive terms. So Trump being president again is fine.
That’s just as ridiculous of an argument as the president being criminally immune.
When the branch that has the final say on what the Constitution means is on board, you don’t have to actually amend it.
I mean anything he does deemed unconstitutional can be challenged by any appeals court judge that can strike it down.
And then appeal it to the SCOTUS who literally gave him criminal immunity. With Congress and SCOTUS, it doesn’t matter what the Constitution actually says. Just what they can twist it with paper thin reasoning to mean.
So who’s stopping him?
Who you voted for is secret but that you voted is public information. I haven’t heard if it was predominantly white men who sat it out, but that wouldn’t be hard data to gather.
It’s a stupid question. But that’s the reality. So genocide or worse genocide? If you say neither, it’s probably going to be worse genocide.
Tu - your
Tú - you
Why that makes one bitch is beyond me, though. (Maga means female magician)
That’s pretty much always what the polls say for the presidential election. I don’t know why people expect pollsters to have crystal balls. The election is mostly decided on who is going to actually go vote, and a lot of people don’t know the answer to that until election day.

I don’t think that’s an example. People housing others in their own homes isn’t an example of the perfect solution to homelessness. I don’t know if we have a name for that fallacy but it’s kind of a “put your money where your mouth is” fallacy. If you aren’t willing to give up a lot for the solution, you must not really believe it is a problem/solution.
People being against the ACA because it isn’t single payer health care is an example of the perfect solution fallacy. Or people being against a $15 minimum wage because it really should be $25 now.
Nah man. I hate standard time. Prefer it to still be dark at 7 am to dark at 4 pm.
This is dumb. Thinking economic policy has immediate effects is dumb. Trump’s good economy was largely a result of Obama’s economic policy. The inflation during the Biden years was a result of Trump’s economic policy and COVID. It takes years to dig out of that hole. Everyone knew (or maybe not, people are dumb) that COVID stimulus was going to be inflationary; it was just a gamble that it would be less painful than a more 2008 style financial crisis. The whole world was experiencing inflation and Trump’s tax reform did not help the situation. Thinking tariffs will help fix the economy when the number one complaint is high prices is dumb.
