Progressive policies are popular. There’s a phenomenon where centrists pretend to be progressive in order to be elected and then do a heel turn.

‘Et tu Bernie?’ References this. And here I am having to explain very recent history to some lib in defense of some leftist/progressive I’ve never met because libs can’t take any fucking criticism during any fucking time. Maybe stop for a moment and engage some critical thinking. We weren’t happy to see biden drop out JUST because he’s old. Everyone was hoping for policy change, but that dreams gone, and Trump’s up in polls as a result…

Oddly enough that secondary exodus is probably why this place is so much more positive

If you take a look at their battery industry, you’ll see they’re taking it very seriously

Or just don’t federate with threads. Embrace, extend, extinguish is a thing

Essentially ensuring any RFK voter is taken from biden and not Trump

So magneto has actually fought for mutant rights from the beginning. And every time he gets ahead the xmen win and mutant rights don’t really move forward. The xmen literally fight for the status quo. The status quo is bad for mutants, but they want to keep it for some reason. An analogy I’ve heard a lot is that professor x is the mlk to Magneto’s Malcolm x. The difference is that mlk didn’t bank roll a CIA black ops style team to constantly beat up Malcolm x whenever he started getting a leg up.

People are fed up. They’re more open to extreme actions. That’s why people are more sympathetic to Magneto

Exactly. It would be an incredible way to push forward lgbt+ rights. I’d prefer a candidate with good politics, but I’d be lying if I didn’t like the idea of how it would ruffle bigots… But Harris’s main goal is to get elected.

New Hampshire is 4 seats. Unless the race has been decided by single digits, this is a non story. Polling in July doesn’t tell you anything. See?

Each swing state specifically

And November is a long way away. These articles about polling are ridiculous. Harris isn’t even officially the candidate yet

New Hampshire is 4 seats. Come back when she’s winning Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia, Nevada, or North Carolina

My instance doesn’t let me see who down voted. I used to be on kbin.social and it used to be nice to see both. Knowing a nazi sympathizer is down voting you is a badge of honor… anyways, I appreciate you putting out the data.

I’m unsure why I was down voted when your response backed me up. 44 years ago is pretty recent

The incumbents not being challenged is relatively recent though. It’s been that way my entire life, but not my parents

Obama’s primary wins are probably the last time they were actually democratic.

Supreme Court reform is necessary, but this is not an election issue. This is the type of thing you fix immediately not use as an election issue. I’m afraid it’s too little too late Joe

If they win it was legit. If not there’s interference. Plan b isn’t do nothing and hope for the best

I’m not a Trump fan, but I pegged him wrong. I thought he’s the type of guy that’d piss himself in that situation. Instead he took it like a champ

Biden can’t string two sentences together and is increasingly worse. At his age and how grueling campaigning is, he won’t be fit for the job come October. Doing it now is the best option. John Stewart talked about it better than I can on Monday. Also, foreign influence is a thing most of the world is used to. I’m not sure what this American obsession is about foreign influence. Lots of famous Canadians endorse American candidates. We don’t hear anything about that. Even though it’s the definition of foreign influence

Might be the best dlc in history
