No, I saw you ask why RamenJunkie would believe that progressives are single issue voters (as in “will not vote for a candidate because of one issue”) when, in their previous comment, they had already pointed to the support of Israel as an example of progressives not voting for a candidate over one issue. I found it annoying that you either ignored or missed that and asked a question for information sitting in front of you, so I copy and pasted a key piece of that information to hopefully get you considering how the arguments contained in one comment you responded to might relate to your question for a later one. It seems I may have failed at that.

Personally, I don’t know that truly single issue voters exist. I think there’s a lot of frustration with the complacency of the Democrat party and supporting genocide is just the straw that broke the camel’s back for a lot of people.

But my view was not the motivation for my comment, just my frustration with circular questioning.

Having read their comment, probably “because every Democrat didn’t 100% say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine”, then now all Democrats are evil and should never be supported.”

That’s them observing progressives disagree with a party stance then refuse to vote for the party over that single issue. The extrapolation is that progressives are more likely to become single issue voters, therefore more difficult to cater to, therefore maybe not worth the effort from the party’s perspective.

I looked into why protein is so popular right now, and the main thing I can see is that protein takes a while to break down, leaving you feeling fuller longer and making it easier to eat less. The problem with that is most people (Americans at least) already eat way more protein than they need. In almost every case people would be better served by eating more fiber or replacing processed grains with whole grains, both of which achieve a similar effect while also actually aiding the digestive system. But the HHS as it is today isn’t interested in that, so they just increased the recommended amount of protein instead.

What do you think is more likely, religious people disliking you for your atheism or because you literally call them psychotic?

Being anglophones is also why they do so much fishing in Britain!

Yes it is. Out of curiosity, how many miles of range do you tend to get charging overnight? I've read that it's about 20 miles per 12 hours, which for me would not be enough to cover my commute.

What do you mean when you use the word “epistemologies” in this context?

I’d go back and save Sergei Korolev from dying in 1966, leading Soviet cosmonauts to land on the moon first and keeping the space race kicking for far far longer.

Yes, I just started watching For All Mankind, what tipped you off?

And you think that's what he means when he also mentions being in office in 2032 in the same sentence?

I usually just say “I feel like the people who are good at adulting don’t use the term ‘adulting’” and get a “yeah, that sounds about right” in return.
