A vote saying they won’t support the Dem ticket in November without a big change still means something, even if the race has already been called.
Everyone already knew Biden would win handily since the first primary. That’s why they voted uncommitted instead of for an alternative.
What’s the old lingers?
Real moderates are mostly just low information voters who don’t spend much time thinking about politics to develop an ideology or world view.
The generally accepted political narrative is that these sorts of voters mostly just care about the economy.
Lots of people call themselves moderates but consistently vote Democrat or Republican and just differ from their party on a couple issues.
*Edited my language to be a little fairer about that second group
If French troops were sent into Ukraine and were then hit by Russia, would that then trigger NATO agreements?
Article 6 says:
"For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:
on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France 2, on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer; on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer."
Aware this might be a situation where the spirit of the agreement ends up being more important than the legalese.
Make them open and close in a circular pattern like a camera aperture and I’m in
I had heard the servitor story before but forgot where it was sourced. Do you happen to remember which book it came from?
If we find people who regret it, do we then need to ban it? Is there a certain threshold of regretful people we need to meet?
Do you expect a lot of people to regret something that happened to them before they were capable of forming memories?

Yes, how did the party of Iran-Contra suddenly start behaving underhandedly?
A majority of Americans want stricter gun laws, and that’s been consistent for quite a few years.
We also have a dysfunctional political system that prevents popular ideas from getting anywhere, but we’re not really unique in that I suppose.
I just don’t understand how Apple, a company known for their sleek, elegant design aesthetics above all else, put their name on something that looks so dorky
Ultimately, it’s selecting for crabs. Crabs are perfection. There is no escaping carcinization.
I’d argue that debates aren’t useful without a neutral, mutually trusted media source that listeners from both sides would refer to for fact-checking. The US has debates but the soundbites that partisan media air are the main way people consume them. Few people watch the whole debate, and few want to because they’re mostly just hot air.
Plus, one candidate can use the debate to lie out of their ass and at least one media source will follow that up by spitting out misleading info to support the lies.
I don’t mean to both-sides this, obviously right wing media is more egregious on this front. But their captured audience tuning out fact-checks from other media is maybe the bigger problem.
All of this happening on the sidelines fundamentally alters the purpose of a debate. For example, changing the tone and style of interaction; people aren’t trying to come to an agreement or win over new supporters, just shout over someone to get in soundbites that can be replayed by their team.
Dragon’s breath is a pretty common name for incense scents, but it seems to vary a bit between different brands. The only common ingredient I saw was that most of them have musk or “white musk”
General strike/protest? Get enough people making noise on the street and people will have to listen. With a presidential election coming up, Dems won’t be able to fully ignore it either.
Both of these arguments presuppose that principles and precedent are important factors for the current conservative majority to consider. Evidence says otherwise.
It takes mental effort to defend a group, or to engage in good faith discussion at all, really. People tend to pick up on key buzzwords that get thrown around a lot by certain groups and use those to gauge whether the discussion is going to be worth continuing. Concern-trolling and “I’m just asking questions” is quite common in these contexts, so both sides do this, to be honest.
Yeah, it seems like reverse immigration is being used to talk about new immigrants from other countries going back to their home country. But, the top result for the term is this article so I’m not sure if this is a standardized usage yet.
Is making art with the rain an option?
Sand darkens when wet so that could make a cool canvas, theoretically.
You could also play with that “wall of rain” effect you sometimes see when you are just outside of a heavy rain area.
Alternatively, just make “social commentary” like a torrential downpour on the financial district. Sometimes art is just revenge.
