So I'm interested in winning elections so that better people can have control of the vast power of the federal government.

Like it or not, these people- most people are the people we need to vote for our ticket, and we need to be listening to them and making adjustments, not saying "typical asshole, they shouldn't be allowed to vote!" Come on.

We can't have the electorate you'd like to have. These folks exist and will never hear your criticisms of them in this progressive silo. We cannot keep the government out of the hands of the MAGA people without their votes no matter how much you hold them in contempt.

you don't need to choose. Im on Mastodon and Bluesky. The federated internet is better. I'm here on god dang Lemmy. Having said that, if you see the Bluesky logo here on Lemmy you will see a half dozen posts of people getting so upset while they type they involuntarily farted

there was a This American Life about the progress bar

Hey there. This feels way less like casual conversation and a lot more like the opening monolog of a client just starting therapy.

having said that, 40 mins isn't that crazy for a d and d night once a week my guy get out there three times and if you regret it ok. you know what I'm saying?

ah yes those world renowned N.Ireland cheeses (look I know there are gonna be a handful of very good farmhouse cheeses) but I am fond of Belfast Dick Cheese

i think those are coins. condoms have more of a ring shape?

all of my friends voted for harris and many of them campaigned for harris, including myself. no compassion is cool though- also cool to take the time to tell people you're not only lacking in compassion, youre good with out-group homogenity in place of actual thinking. it's also good you're just burying your head in the sand, but take the time to ensure other people know that's what you're doing.

careful, people on lemmy will attack you for saying anything other than bluesky is bad and that mastodon is the only way forward
