Oh, so that means people are smart and never believe lies??

Go away

Gateway to punish abuse that had already happened.

You keep completely ignoring the fact that this law was not about reporting urges, it was about reporting abuse. You are defending predators who have already abused a victim. Which is disgusting.

People are stupid. They can be made to believe any lie because either they want to believe it’s true or because they are afraid it’s true.

Hate to break it to you, it’s not just religious people.

Meaning the current DNC won’t work against a candidate willing to disclose all of it.

I kinda feel like this is giving 'em a little too much credit. However, I can’t argue with your overall argument, nor the logic you present to get there.

That said, the general nature of the problem hasn’t changed. The blatant corruption that is directly enabled by the vile (and, in my not so humble opinion, treasonous) Churches United ruling has redefined the playing field. Basically, only the corrupt have any realistic chance of election nationally, which completely undermines the democratic part of our government. (And yes, democracy only plays a part in a republic style government. The US has never been a “democracy”.)

My own takeaway is to focus my attention more on local elections. They have always been far more important than most people realize (myself included), now even more so. If there’s any chance of reversing the terrible damage being wrought, it starts locally. This is true whether you believe in working with, or against, the current system.

And again, this isn’t meant as an attack on your own argument. I knew about the change in DNC leadership, but I’ve been overlooking both it’s potential significance, as well as that of the current media framing - specifically the lack of “only other option” type statements. Thank you for your perspective!

Edit/P.S. The reaction to David Hogg’s actions are a good example of why I continue to be skeptical of the DNC. On the other hand, what else could anyone expect, really. That man has definitely piqued my curiosity, though, and I hope we see more from him down the line.

None of that is an excuse to brush such a significant issue aside.

It’s also a movie poster, so could’ve been photoshopped.

At least they didn’t say “slammed”…? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I manually disabled all link types for the YouTube app, then went to the settings for NewPipe and enabled all supported link types to open there instead. That way I can use YouTube for the occasional video that fails to open in NewPipe, but clicking on a link will open NewPipe by default. It’s tedious, but so worth it.

I didn’t know at first either!

Pretty sure you’re talking about a floor kick…?

Umm, so it’s harder to manipulate the rating? I mean, seriously, without that requirement, the ratings would be just as worthless as Amazon or Play Store.

If I understand correctly, this one is still in progress, i.e. her hasn’t quite accomplished it yet. They tried to add the selloff of public land to the big piece of shit bill, but I think that failed?

I get your point. I guess I made some assumptions there. Still feels like a big red flag that he handwaved a very big difference in their desired outcomes.

In other words, it doesn’t sound like he respects her wishes at all.

You tried to cancel, he refused to accept that. Huge fucking red flag! He also ignored your clearly started desire for no kids.

The rest of it sounds like love bombing, a really disgusting tactic mostly used by abusive individuals to get you to doubt your own thoughts and feelings. But really, I strongly suggest you do some web searches regarding love bombing.

That sounds relatable. Just wanted to add another voice letting you know you’re not alone!

It’s a phenomenon how much he lacks any intellectual capabilities.

Lol I was gonna ask isn’t their flag the one MAGAts will accidentally use as the US flag. And, well, yes it is.
