Then make them vote it down? What is so hard to understand about this? Every impeachment charge is time spent on the floor that forces them to delay voting on other damaging policies. If he's going to continue flooding the zeitgeist with damaging policies and immoral action, then force his colleagues and constituents to sit down and listen to it in detail. Eventually the end goal doesn't become worth the sacrifice to get there. There's a reason no one ever sits through a time share seminar even if its for a free 3 day weekend getaway.

Don't forget Panama! Trump has actually made me quite a bit of money threatening to invade other countries, so I'm keen on keeping track of all of them. If you're curious how, it's simple. It exploits a zero day vulnerability of sports betting markets. You see it all started with the NHL 4 Nations tournament. If the United States is competing in an elimination game against one of the aforementioned countries, bet against them. It doesn't matter how much of a long shot they are, the opponent always finds a way to win. It happened in the 4 Nations final against Canada, the Concacaf Nations League semifinal against Panama, and the 3rd place match in the CNL to Canada again.

You better not be talking about my Polish-Canadian girlfriend 😤

What if my representative is Dick Durbin?

Oh cry me a river...sorry you're being inconvenienced. We should have told Ukraine that while we understand that their country is being invaded by a superpower and their citizens are being raped and murdered and their children are being trafficked to Russia; they should put more attention into making sure their drones don't look too similar to RC hobbyist planes 🙄

That's because that isn't a healthy thing to do in the first place. These people are essentially drowning and cutting them out of your life indiscriminately is like speeding away in a boat while you hope they manage to float to an island.

Having a tough conversation with them about your honest concerns is the only way to fix what people have become. It's okay to tell them that their lack of empathy is making you feel sad/depressed. Don't just tell them that they're wrong and need to change their mind. Pick a specific thing they support and tell them what's making you feel upset and let them ruminate on that. Only they can change their minds, so hopefully they view you as a close enough friend to reconsider their actions or beliefs.

So what do you suggest? Go shoot my brainwashed neighbor and spend life in prison for 1st degree murder? Or assassinate my far right state representative in a solid blue state and get charged with a federal crime so I can be executed?

I'd really rather prefer continuing to do my best to educate the young members of my neighborhood so they aren't fully guided by their parents' conservative views. And I don't think they'd much appreciate getting put into foster care after murdering their parents...

Without converting the download to .pdf there's no way to know and I don't know if that's even possible. The simplest way to download Wikipedia is through Kiwix. The largest download is 109.89GB and is stored in a .zim format so you need to use a specific application like Kiwix to read it, but its free and open source.

You can. You just need the storage space.

Not sure that I'll be donating every year, but I also donated for the first time in 2024. Every little bit counts and when I can find the extra money, I'll send it their way. Also, friendly reminder, it's possible to download the entire contents of Wikipedia with less than 100GB. It's just 16GB if compressed.

Kamala ran to the right of Biden. Yes, in her past she supported some left wing things, but she abandoned all those positions when she ran in 2024.

What policies specifically did she run to the right of Biden? I'm curious.

[–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social -1 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Listen to the fucking poll results. Good god. Joe Biden was even more milquetoast than Harris and he garnered 9 million more votes. Harris is left of Biden. That's a fact. So the only reasonable explanation is that either Harris didn't have enough campaign time (I think a few months is plenty) or older voting Americans don't want to vote for a woman/POC.

By your logic, since she's more left leaning than Joe, she should have been able to garner more popular support but that didn't happen. 16+ years down the road if Dems can hold the office for that long AND have shored up protections for social programs AND removed blanket immunity from the executive branch, I have absolutely no problem with AOC. But until they're able to gain a more stable foothold in the current political climate, you're just going prematurely kill their one shot at a presidential run. That's all you typically get is one chance. If Trump loses in 2016, he doesn't come back in 20 and 24.
