Totally, so who wants to kick off a new progressive party?
I think starting at the local level and changing the party from within is the most feasible approach.
Look at Mamdani, and various other progressives that have made it into their local governments.
It’s not even a test balloon. It’s already the problem. Did you miss Kamala? Did you experience Biden? We’re you old enough to vote during Hilary?
I’m not saying this is OK, I’m saying primary the shit heads! I feel like we are in violent agreement…
Blaming everyone IS NOT PRODUCTIVE. Instead, pick candidates that fit. Your stupid blaming does nothing but smother the ones that are progressive. Vote, protest, or do something other than create disinterest with your bad “both parties” comments.
You can believe that, and it’s also a shit take. So primary them. I’m not disagreeing that some of them are shit, but writing the whole lot off is a bad take and it’s what leads to disinterest in people who would normally vote for SOMETHING.
I didn’t make a mistake. I understood the intent. You decided it was a mistake because you like playing with semantics. You’re a semantichist (hah! See what I did there?)
They chose a headline that catches attention, and it bothered you enough to warrant your attention too. Effective. Communication. The words that were chosen had the intended effect.
Going to repeat Glemek because you’ve received a shocking number of upvotes.
The point is that people who haven’t seen someone drown, may not know what drowning looks like, with the exception of media depictions.
The title and headline communicate the point effectively which draws out the semantics sadists such as yourself.
I mean, that’s part of the problem right? Some folks talk about the guillotine and yet do nothing about it.
And you assume the problem goes away if it’s possible to guillotine them all. New ones pop up everyday, guillotine today would probably work. Still need to have a better attitude about the overall problem if you want things to be better after.
Sure, that sounds great. You going to get right on that?
Copy from another reply of mine: This is a shit take. ALL Rs voted for this. No dems NEEDED to vote for this for it to pass, but some did. If we want to make the Dem party an acutal progressive party, then these Nazi pieces of shit need to be primaried. This doesn’t make all Dems nazis…
It’s a shit system but you aren’t going to change it by 1) not voting and 2) generalizing.
Vote. For individuals. Not because they are Dem, but because you’ve dug into a candidate and found them to match your beliefs.
Fix your attitude, or the progressives will never make it.

Sounds like you live in a black and white world. Sorry, the world is not as easy as you’d like.
Trying to claim that all people who work in tech are in on sinister plots for Big Tech is cartoon-level oversimplification.
Do you understand how language evolves? It’s ok to be “wrong” as long as you’ve communicated successfully.
I actually can’t find anything in the flag code about that. I find a lot of other organizations citing the flag code, and purporting that same point though.
I’m in the military. In the uniform regs it dictates what you’re saying. But that’s not the flag code.
This doesn’t look like it’s depicting the military though… Also, pop culture influence doesn’t make it a bad thing IMO. Being lazy and avoiding paying artists to produce slop is. Especially when this is supposedly the party of “hard work” and “bootstraps”
I’ve seen it either way. That’s the least problematic part of this whole thing.
Not surprised. Same friend waited over a year once for a different tax stamp. Can’t imagine why other than intentional slow rolling.
Last year! Sounds like it’s changed since then.
I mean, purely anecdotal, but I had a close friend who had to do the process and it took over six months of waiting. Not difficult I guess, but it did take a long time…
You can’t easily buy one. You need a tax stamp and that’s a bit of a process. But you can buy one.
I think it’s ok for women to be allowed to ask men or at the gym purely based on the reason why it’s not ok for men to ask.
An estimated 91% of victims of rape & sexual assault are female and 9% male. Nearly 99% of perpetrators are male. (1) This US Dept. of Justice statistic does not report those who do not identify in these gender boxes.

Men commit the preponderance of sexual violence/harassment by a long shot.
It’s become the norm for men to leave women alone in less-than-social spaces because it provides a more welcoming environment. Which is a huge cultural improvement IMO. The other way around though is fine. I don’t think most men are expecting to be sexually harassed/abused by women in those same spaces.
Not saying it couldn’t happen, because it does, but it’s SOOOOO MUCH less likely.
Clippy coding! Newer coders won’t get the reference, older coders can hold it with the same scorn.
Totally. I would absolutely get on board with an actual Progressive party if there was one.
