One suggestion I’d like to see as a differentiator from the Science subreddit… The subreddit really seemed humorless to a degree where it felt like the mods were joyless scholars with giant sticks in a really uncomfortable place (What? Like the back of a Volkswagen?)
I get the need for standards on post quality, I just hope there isn’t a heavy hand on comment quality.
Less about believing Trump than it was disbelieving Biden and by association “I won’t do anything different” Harris.
It doesn’t take millions to get rid of a candidate that doesn’t meet filing regulations.
It’s not the media, it’s the fringe candidate.
Vermin Supreme doesn’t get media coverage either, that’s not the fault of the media.
“We have not been heard…”
And you won’t be when you’re polling below 1% and aren’t even on the ballot in enough states to matter.
The alternative is she’s an idiot. What’s the over/under on that?
Tihs is fsnaintacig.

Seems like bullshit to me, but then I was brought up on the phonics system in the 70s. No clue what they’re teaching now.
Reality is probably a mix of phonics, predicting, and context.
For example, this bit:

Neither are the socialists, who aren’t even on the ballot in enough states to win ANYTHING.
Quite a lot of the misinformation out of PA stems from a willful ignorance of how all this stuff works.
For example… the voter registration drives turning in invalid registrations:
“District attorneys and election officials in both Lancaster County and York County are looking into potential election-related fraud after authorities received large batches of voter registration materials from a “third-party organization.” Both York and Lancaster counties have more registered Republican voters than Democrats, according to state data, with York Republicans holding a 63% majority in the area and Lancaster Republicans at a 61% majority.”
When you do a voter registration drive, you are legally obligated to submit all registrations, valid or not. The only entity with the legal authority to reject registrations as valid is the State Secretary of State office.
This is because, back in the day, parties would do registration drives and just shit-can any registration for opposing parties.
Now, even if some dumbass fills out a registration for “Mickey Mouse” or “Superman”, it STILL has to be submitted to the Secretary of State for rejection.
That’s not “voter fraud”.
Well, that’s long term… I’m thinking short term to stop the genocide.
Once the prosecutions are over then you can think long term integration.
My personal preference is more radical than that… full military intervention, separate the Israelis from the Palestinians, arrest Bibi and the rest of Likud and set up full war crimes tribunals.
But nobody has the political capital for that.
They do, but they don’t need more than that for a genocide.
They’ve been engaging in a slow motion genocide since the 90s:
We’re the main supplier, but they don’t need them for the genocide.
Snipers are shooting little kids in the head, bullets are dirt cheap.

It doesn’t matter if it’s conditional or not, the Genocide will continue as it’s not dependent on our aid. They started it in Gaza before our aid even got there.
Used for the genocide != why we supplied them. That’s the key difference the folks screaming “GEnOcIdE!” can’t grasp.
Israel has a right to defend itself, same as any other country. Where they go off the rails is using our support offensively and not defensively, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop supporting them.
People forget that food contamination isn’t limited to meat products.
I had this discussion with vegetarians years ago… “This wouldn’t happen if everyone was vegetarian!”
Yeah, tell that to Odwalla Juice:

Or the folks who ate contaminated lettuce:

Man, I used to LOVE alfalfa sprouts in my salad, can’t get them anymore:

The VP has no involvement with the UN. That might change when she’s President, but right now she has no power there. At all. None.
Yeah, Clickbait has no place anywhere, even if the article itself is fine…
I swear to god the next time I see “side hustle” in my Google News feed…
