AOC is a lightning rod for conservatives, moreso due to sexism imho than her politics because she gets way more hate than Bernie even though they're politically very similar. She's not a good choice just because of that. I don't think the general population of the US is ready for two women on a ticket, esp two women of color. Could make an exciting ticket in the way Obama was, but only if Kamala proves to be as engaging of a speaker. Which, honestly I think she's a good orator but a lot of people will have trouble seeing past the fact she is a woman, and Kamala will unconsciously or consciously have all the usual biases against women in power (bossy, crazy, etc).

I honestly had no idea who Beshear is but just looking him up, I think he'd be an okay pick. Looks like a boring white guy, has solid liberal track record. I feel like a white guy who supports Palestine would be better, Kamala has a lot of pushback from leftists from her time as DA in CA. Idk who that would be.

Unless they run another primary, Kamala is the best choice IMHO. Already tied to the Biden ticket, so it would feel less like the DNC is hand-picking whoever they want as a candidate. She polls well. Can get creative with the VP.

Are we looking at the same map? Looks like California is far less emissions heavy than the flyover states. High proportions of solar panel energy, too.

Why are you linking Roberts Rules of Order 😂

So the rule suspending the filibuster would be written into the bill that isn't passed yet? I feel like I'm not quite getting it ... I'm confused about how the suspension works.

Kicks in the door, guns blazing ... official presidential business 😎

What does "suspend the filibuster" mean? Like people won't be able to filibuster anymore?

edit: I know what the filibuster is ... I'm curious about the suspension piece.

Very telling how many people are hesitant to name specific mods.

Just because someone has a personality disorder doesn't mean they are incapable of doing their jobs. That's an ableist assumption.

Don't take it as an insult, if you keep being ableist that would be grounds for insults, but I'm honestly just letting you know.

"trump is literally the next Hitler guys"

"great so we don't even need a time machine"

"oh not like that though"

I'm "combative" because everyone picks fights with me, because my political opinions aren't popular here (I'm leftist, and end up arguing with a lot of transphobes as well). Mods shouldn't use political disagreements as grounds for retaliation.

My modlog has so many taken down comments bc the other day I went through and quoted other ppls comments that were taken down, asking for accountability because I thought they were taken down unjustly. I still think they were. Mods have since mentioned to me ways I can link comments without quoting them, that won't get my comments taken down.

Thanks for your creepy concern. My point stands regardless of my comment history, as evidenced by so other ppl sharing they have had similar experiences. Cool you want to discredit me due to my political opinions, and tendency to question the way mods operate.

It's no different here, the dynamics are the same. Volunteer labor will skew towards the most privileged or retired bc they have more free time , not the most capable.

Sure, ignore men too. But sexism is real, a woman's advice is more likely to be ignored or yeah, not asked for at all.

Let's be real, probably her opinion.

Oh no

So you're kind of just imposing your opinion about the "life or death" situation thing. I see tons of posts advocating trans-medicalist views, that I would consider a life or death situation... but the comments removed are the ones using appropriately harsh language to call them out.

And yes, esp w the recent news that the shooter was a conservative. It makes sense to speculate.

Never seen the show, but isn't this an instance where cross-dressing is seen as a gag and not necessarily an acceptable and normal thing to do?

So there is no available form of public accountability for comments? I have had mixed experiences in the past with DM-ing mods and I do not trust private communications.

Also, I am not really seeing a personal insult? Criticism of personal dissonance, yeah, but is that an insult?
