The other half of it that everyone ignores is there actually has to be a better candidate campaigning for the nomination. Bernie lost the popular vote in the primaries, but inspired more progressives to campaign, and we got the squad out of it. People need to run, and people need to vote, or you get the status quo with donor-preferred candidates.
We had primaries and nobody serious wanted to run against the incumbent president. Biden won the primary. Then he dropped out due and the delegates pledged to Biden (and elected by the primary voters) elected Harris as the nominee in the convention. Maybe you can show me when in the history of the USA a running incumbent president lost the primary, or even when any serious challenger campaigned against them in the primary.
So vote in the "Not Perfect" parties primaries to get better candidates nominated, and at the same time work on getting a ballot initiative for ranked choice voting.
I've traveled a bit and so appreciate the culture of haggling. One time while in Panamá I needed an SD card. The Baroness is from there, so we were out with a few cousins going to the mall and big box stores. Of course everywhere was charging like 3x what it would cost in the US. So at the last shop I just laid it out that I could get the $45 card for $15 in the US so asked if they'd take like $25 or something. She was a little confused as haggling isn't super common, at least in the modern shops. So she went to go check with the manager. He came out from the back. Indian guy. He just looked at me, the only white guy around, and was just like "yeah we can do that." Had a look to him like he appreciated the encounter. On the way out one of the cousins was gobsmacked that it worked, like he had just witnessed real life magic.
This is why companies have data retention settings to automatically delete old emails and slack/teams/etc. and special processes a classifications to store those communications that relate to contracts and such.
We get the left party by splitting the Democratic Party
I’m Team Hogg on this one
I'm a bit confused by the wording here. When you say "split" I hear making a whole new party? But David Hogg is a vice chair of the Democratic Party, so being on his team implies not third party. Could you clarify?
There aren't enough Trump's to have a high enough concentration of them to call it a concentration camp. He deserves righteous infliction of retribution. But I still wouldn't advocate for crimes against humanity on anyone.
Really depends on what I'm trying to visualize. Things that are inherently graphical I'd probably put in a grid to fit more on the screen. Text probably a list.
Context matters here. There a plenty of communities where uploaded pics in posts is the norm and totally fine. Alt text should always be added in some way, but text-only as a general rule is just not practical.
I didn't mean as a step towards POTUS. I think we need more people like her in Congressional leadership roles more than we need her as POTUS. Unless we're talking about the next Roosevelt, I want a boring POTUS.
