if you know anything about israeli war policy or have looked at the news at any point in recent history (by that I mean like in the last 50 years or so), this is deeply and profoundly delusional. israeli policy is to attempt to shock and awe their opponents into submission with an overwhelming...

heh.. smogon chose it for me... but I would say it fits my character. lowkey cute. strong. tough. badass. able to overcome adversity. showing determination and grit

In the map you posted, if AZ flips blue and PA flips red, it's a 270-268. ME2 could be the difference between a Trump win and a tied election then.

Self-determination is not a "right" in the conventional sense, it's an ideal. It's a noble one that I support, but whether it works out in practice depends on factors such as military power of the minority vis-a-vis the occupying country, the cost-profit analysis of the occupier (whether it's...

I don't disagree with most of this. I know the difference between Palestinians in Israel and WB/Gaza (and East Jerusalem, which is in between the two as permanent residents), but that's my point actually, bear with me here. Unless the Yellowstone caldera goes off and takes half of the US with...

I'd argue that the main thing that matters is not hypotheticals about "which side has a larger population that believes that the other side should be genocided", but it is which government has advanced weaponry to murder civillians by tens and hundreds of thousands, which government has tacit...

dunno ... one side we have a felon (doing crimes=lowkey based)... and on the other we have a cop (ew, ACAB)... I'm getting confused

sadly, americans aren't very practical people. obviously you don't land someone on the sun at noon, you do it at night when it's cooler

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/03/opinion/biden-democrats-senate-polls.html Here's another from Nate Silver today, the beloved of the pollsters, who has compared 47 senate vs presidential polls in 5 swing states: People in swing states broadly prefer democratic candidates to republican...

(democrat shills when biden has a stroke and is bedridden a few months later): okay he might have a small health issue but at least he's not a LIAR and a FELON :changry: there are TWO choices, who do you support?????

This is ridiculous. Who the hell are you to say who is an ally and who is not? Political candidates are supposed to convince voters, nobody owes votes to them. Clearly a 81-year-old demented dude who is in all likelihood going to become more incoherent (or even become bedridden and/or kick the...

I'm not so sure. Trump's whole rhetoric was being the anti-establishment and anti-elite candidate. Obviously he's not any of that, but that's the image he portrays himself as, that was his appeal. If he spins this as being persecuted by the corrupt courts or whatever, which he will, at the very...

yup, I'm fond of sardines. you can also eat them straight out of the can but they're better if you pop them on a piece of rye bread with cucumber and onion slices, and maybe a dash of a spicy sauce of your choice, for a quick lunch

I'm sure this is funny if you participate in whatever this community is

The real reason there's no 3rd party is the American government and electoral system. It is well attested* that parliamentary regimes and proportional representation tend to result in multi-party systems, while presidential regimes and first-past-the-post electoral systems result in 2-party...

Feraligatr isn't a bulky water, it's a physical sweeper. It plays a completely different role than Swampert. It's faster than Swampert and can set up, so if you want to play to Feraligatr's strengths, you could run something like Swords Dance/Earthquake/Rock Slide/HP Bug. That way, it's a worse...

The point is that your vote is your leverage that you can withhold (or threaten to withhold) to compel your political party to act differently. If people go "well Biden is the lesser evil", he has no incentive whatsoever to change his current policy or acknowledge the discontent in his base. But...
