  • The US has 55 times as many people living in 36 times as much land and with nearly no restrictions on firearm ownership in the majority of the country. Recipe for a fuckload of mass shootings

  • I could easily spend a billion dollars but most of it would be doing Mr Beast type shit like building houses and wells and hospitals or paying for people's medical procedures.

    You have to be pretty heartless to have that much money and keep it all to yourself

  • The closest thing they can argue to any kind of "exclusivity" is that the free steam keys developers can generate for their games may not be resold for a lower amount than the game can be purchased for on steam outright. That says nothing about other means of distributing the game outside of steam, and nothing about alternative platforms the devs might want to use. It's a tiny and far away straw to grasp at.

  • It's not cowardly to act in the interest of the safety of those you love. It's only cowardly to throw people under the bus in order to achieve that end. Those of us with less responsibility for the safety of others will still speak out. Thank you for still doing what you can.

  • You're almost correct, except that conservative legislature has a weird tendency to make things worse on purpose so they can blame the other side for making things worse so they can campaign on "fixing" things by making them worse again.

    This will help conservatives win elections. This will not help achieve the goals that conservative voters think they're voting for

  • Yeah if fascists harass me for spreading the name of a public figure, they would sooner harass me for tons of other shit. They're a menace to society who should not be respected or tolerated, exactly because they do not respect or tolerate benign differences.

    I understand why you might not want to give them any reason to pay attention to you, but I’d prefer if we all spoke out against them, together, and constantly.

  • I'm saying that no matter who they choose for President, MOST people aren't going to like it. Hillary WAS a good choice in 2016. Bernie would have been better, but Hillary was not a bad choice. Biden isn't as strong of a choice as Hillary was. We don't have ranked choice voting so there's no clear solution to that issue, no matter who you pick.

    So, to get the most turnout among Democrats, educate people on why they should care more about their congresspeople than their president. Get them to the polls by appealing to what they can influence, since the presidential candidate choice is moot. It's a losing strategy to try to rally everyone behind that. Divert attention to all the incumbents with the highest chance of losing their seat, and the seats up for reelection in swing states. Change the strategy and choose who you want as the candidate. People are voting for "Not Trump" more than they're really voting for "Biden" so they're going to mark the (D) regardless of the name it's attached to. We just have to get them to the polls.

  • They need to stop campaigning on the issue of the presidency and start campaigning on the representatives and senators. People are overwhelmingly going to vote within party lines, and most young people who don't vote do so because they falsely believe their votes don't matter. This can be demonstrated to be untrue for congressional elections.

    Let the DNC pick a candidate for the presidency who they think is good. The people don't choose the president, the states do. The electoral college makes sure of that in all but 2 states. Let the people vote for the Congress that the president has to work with. If you only give publicity to the ONE elected role that isn't really elected by the people, you'll get more voter apathy.
