Trump today said: "Nobody has been treated like Trump in terms of badly."

Imagine the headlines for a minute if Biden had said "Nobody has been treated like Biden in terms of badly."

No. This isn't Castelvania Armor.

Biden: *Generally coherent statement, with a slight stutter he's had his whole life*
Media: "Is this Dementia?"

Trump: *Jumbled nonsense that sounds worse than a 4th grader's book report when they've clearly never read the book*
Media: *crickets*

Mount Rushmore of assassinated leaders.

You know it's kind of scary to think about, but i feel like if Merrick Garland was appointed to the Supreme Court, Trump would have won in 2020. And Garland has been such a huge disappointment.

If it meant GTAVI getting released immediately, as a finished product? Sure. Getting to play it early would be cool.

If the game were coming out anyway? No.

Chuck was also saved by a fan campaign.

Roswell too.

Timeless was too, I think. Either that or Time Travel.

I mean, Biden actually wanted to do stuff and not be performative, he would cut off the military equipment that's being utilized for genocide. Schumer calling for an election is way more performative than anything the president actually does lol

Cutting off military equipment would just cause Netanyahu's popularity to rise in the polls. I feel like a lot of people don't understand this.

I honestly don't get why Sonic In Melee was widely supported. At least when I heard about it, it was already well-known as a silly hoax. The Mew Truck fucked with people's heads for years, and Nuclear Ghandi is still believed to this day.

I agree. I feel like if people believed it, they didn't believe it long. Nuclear Ghandi is just one of those things I think people accepted without question. It was just an April's Fools joke, and I don't even remember ever hearing about Sonic being in Melee.

On that note, I nominate: April Fools Jokes

We can't call out genocide unless we share heritage with those doing the killing?

If you actually want Netanyahu out of power? Yes.

If you only want to do performative stuff to get mad about? Then no.

Schumer doing Biden's dirty work for him because he's either unwilling or unable to do it himself.

Or because it's better to come from a Jewish person than from a Catholic?

Netanyahu should have been finished.
Trump should have been finished.

The problem is, right-wingers don't have any standards. That's regardless of what country they're from. Right wing extremism is one of the greatest threats our world faces. (And yes, that includes Hamas, who are also right-wing.)

All but one.

Tantrums and outrage don't make you right. Try engaging in the conversation rather than trying to farm agreement and blocking people who disagree. Reddit is that way

We get it. You like carrying water for transphobes and holocaust deniers.

Phew. For a moment I thought it was Austin John. Austin St. John has been a known terrible person since at least Covid.

I'm noticing none of these have sales in the Nintendo Store online for Mar10-day (some other games are still discounted so I don't think I'm too late).

The Mar10 day sales are disappointing. It's just Mario + Rabbids, some of the sports games, and Mario Kart 8. Oh and Yoshi's crafted world, and Luigi's Mansion 3. Nintendo has the worst sales.

Didn't Nancy Reagan also basically run the country at the tail-end of that presidency?

Yes. And she ignored the Aids epidemic when Rock Hudson came to her. She also listened to astrologers. Throat Goat was not a profile in courage. She was the first lady who looked the other way.

Meanwhile Betty Ford voiced support for abortion rights and the equal rights amendment, and talked about addiction at a time where her husband's advisors definitely did NOT want her doing that.

Older voters fucking love Israel I guess.

I'd say the average voter's knowledge of the Israel-Palestine conflict is this:

-Israel was attacked on October 7th by a Hamas Terrorist attack
-Israel and the US are allies

And, that's it.

Why is it considered a negative to affirm Israel's right to exist...? I get that it's mostly performative, but Israel has a right to exist. And pointing it out as a negative only goes to bolster the viewpoint of people who think pro-palestine means wanting to eradicate Israel.

As for the throat goat... she lacked 1% of the courage Betty Ford had. She was certainly powerful, but did nothing about the threat of AIDS, even to the detriment of her friend Rock Hudson.

I want them to wonder why, for even a split second, why they didn't get more votes. And maybe realize they are winning mostly off the back of "not-trump" and not "we agree with you."

Meanwhile Republicans will see that things are 'closer' and be like "We don't have to worry about remaining competitive! We can keep on our path, and keep our cult voting for us while doing nothing to appeal to moderate democrats."

I think these four left the most lasting legacies.

Dems definitely aren't proactive enough. We should've codified Roe V Wade during Obama's administration. But part of the problem is that the Democratic party is a big tent, and we welcome people like Joe Manchin because nobody else stands a snowballs chance in hell at being a Democratic Senator from the state of West Virginia. I really can't explain Sinema, other than that she's a fraud on the level of George Santos.

Make things better for people, win elections. It should be simple. And it's why it's not. Because Republicans don't want to make people's lives better. They just want them to be better than someone else's, and they want to do it by making life worse for someone else. Then they take credit for the things we do! Even when they voted against it. And people are too stupid and think "This guy's in charge? I voted him in. Something good happened. I'm sure he's the reason it happened!"

Progressives are, as usual, going about everything backwards, looking for a shortcut. We need to learn to control the narrative, and that's something we've failed at miserably, and it's part of why we're where we are. Win the hearts and minds of the people first, THEN the politicians. You can't go after the politicians first, and demand to have your way first. It just doesn't work like that.

"But the people support a ceasefire!"

Yeah, they do. In general. At about the same level as Joe Biden does. Much like they also support universal healthcare until it comes time to talk about funding it.

Believe it or not, you have to win over people. Yes, even on genocide. You can't just shame them into it. And progressives haven't done enough to endear themselves to the more moderate democrats whose minds can be changed. And every time you say you're going to take your ball and go home, you push the democrats further to the right, rather than dragging them to the left. Because if they aren't getting your vote, they have to find someone else's vote they will get.

Progressives really need to learn how to play politics. Because I don't think many of them get it. When you take your ball and go home, you're telling women that it's okay to have their reproductive rights taken away. Letting Republicans win only enables them to do even worse shit. Because they know they can get away with it. We've let them get away with it for too long because we refuse to support the lesser of two evils. It's also why we have two evils. You have to starve off the worse of two evils to drag them into the modern day. There's some truly awful people in the United States who would get off on seeing dead Palestinian Children. You're not teaching anyone a lesson letting the worse evil win. Or at least not the lesson you want them to learn. You don't tolerate the greater evil to teach the lesser evil a lesson. Especially not when people will suffer even more, and particularly the people who are actually voting between said candidates.

You don't have to like voting for Joe Biden. I know I didn't. But I do it because the alternative is just so much worse. And I know that if I want to push people toward supporting a ceasfire and a two state solution, I need people who will actually listen, even if they don't change their mind. Because then it changes the conversation. With Donald Trump, there's no chance you're going to get him to change his mind. He's going to do what he wants, and nobody's going to stop him. There will be no adults in the room this time. You can't shame Republicans into not supporting destroying Gaza. Their DREAM is to have Israel take over, and usher in the end times. And Trump will never listen to Democrats. And the conversation will stall.

Sometimes you have to make the less bad choice. Otherwise, we end up with even worse choices. Because if you think Trump is bad, just wait until the right brings out whoever comes next. Think it can't get worse? Think again. I thought W. was as bad as it gets. Turns out, he's a lightweight.
