heya, i'm Ellen, former centrist turned center-left. miss doing the bad take Ellen, and other silly bits i've been conjuring with my limited brain capacity, but i hope to be funni someday.
...that's about it, hope i don't fall in a ditch of internet arguments. 😅
voters. do. not. owe. politicians. votes.
she really could have LIED and say she'd do the things she wouldn't do in her term. i think that's being a lying sack of shit, but people do say that's just pandering to get votes and a valid strategy to get elected.
The 'surprising' consequences of cutting off your parents is very funny to me.
The world seems brighter, the birds sing more beautifully, my skin feels clearer and my hair fuller.
l + cringe + the fuck are you saying?
liberals hate leftists. i would know, i'm a liberal. /joke
fr, liberals would throw leftists to the wall, this is wishful thinking. i get the sentiment (Why Can't We Be Friends - War), but even that mv had kkk and a Black guy holding hand in hand. which lol.
Really feels like whatever side you fall on, the lesson to be learned is that liberals and leftists need to work together. But a lot of people on here aren't interested in learning lessons, they're interested in preemptively blaming someone else for the next disaster.
i hope to one day have the audacity of a straihgt hwite man.
well, with heaps more empathy than them ofc. this guy (and me should i emulate his pastiness) will not make it through the winter with this anti-social and myopic view of politics.
we should give all palestinians the option of funded resettlement with quality paid for eduaction, employment and housing with a 2 yr transitional income of the avg national earnings in their chosen country
in uk or usa or a european country of their choice as a possible compromise.
even for something heavily involving seth mcfarlane the level of family guy ripoff levels here are at a level i didn’t think was possible. they should have called it American Guy
First look at the ‘TED’ animated series.
It takes place 12 years after ‘Ted 2,’ following Ted and John, now neighbors and with their own family.

"Well I just play indie games and watch mid-2000s anime, idk what a Fruit Love Island is"
You live in paradise. You describe a self-curated paradise. The peace you enjoy is enviable and you should probably be aware of that.
"What if Nintendo bought Sonic??? Would we get better Sonic games????" You would get 0 Sonic games bc there's only like 7 people in japan who gives a shit about that blue rat, 6 of whom work at sega as an obligation and the 7th is Inugami Korone

In my opinion you should only be allowed to say someone "died for their country" if they died in a defensive war. If you die in an offensive war then you didn't die for your country you died for the generic concept of empire.
I don't think bigotry is a useful identifier for leftists to use anymore.
If you are calling a white supremacist-senator a "bigot" instead of a white supremacist, you aren't correctly identifying the extent of their aims, power and influence.
Leftists, especially, need to be able to say it.
The liberal solution to the prisoner's dilemma is to just insist the other prisoner should do whatever most benefits them, the liberal.
Shutting down any disagreement by shouting how logical and reasonable it is for them to get all their own way.
if given a binary choice between mild social democracy with universal healthcare & a 1000-year MAGA reich, the establishment dems wouldn't even have to think about it. it'd be heil trump in 5 seconds
Journalists love to come on Bsky and be like "OOOOWOOOUCH! BREAKING NEWS: I AM BOOTYUPSET BECAUSE A TRANS WOMAN CLAPPED MY DANG CHEECKS! OWIE OOOUGH OOOHHHH! OUUUUGH!"
???
but really, leftists don't care about Black people, that is so true. as if centrists out there aren't the folks that scream about compromising with these fascists.
Let me guess, you're one of those "horseshoe theory isn't real" types? The political tactics of the far left and the far right are more similar than not. And both populist arms of the spectrum don't give a single solitary fuck about what happens to Black people...which is what this convo is about. 🙄
