That doesn't work when Team Red is pretending the votes appearing now are falsified.

Honestly, Team Blue should stop trying to counter Red because we are to the point that the latter is pretending a passive block was a vicious assault by a reporter and it's honestly too much time and effort to try to reach those people

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46105934

Even facebook admits they helped the genocide in Myanmar

quote:

The independent report, commissioned by Facebook, said the platform had created an "enabling environment" for the proliferation of human rights abuse.

It comes after widespread violence against the Rohingya minority which the UN has said may amount to genocide.

The report said Facebook would have to "get it right" before 2020 elections.

Facebook has more than 18 million users in Myanmar. For many, the social media site is their main or only way of getting and sharing news.

The network said it had made progress in tackling its problems in Myanmar but that there was "more to do".

Last year, the Myanmar military launched a violent crackdown in Rakhine state after Rohingya militants carried out deadly attacks on police posts.

Thousands of people died and more than 700,000 Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh. There are also widespread allegations of human rights abuses, including arbitrary killing, rape and burning of land.

Weird how they released this report on election day.

“It came up to, you know, form a city because that’s the only way you’re going to do it,” Consiglio told City Lab, referring to the goal of attracting restaurants such as The Cheesecake Factory to the area. “And if this could happen, we’d have more control of our area, and we’d get to see what comes in here. We’d get to control zoning. We’d get to control code enforcement. Then we can hopefully hold the carrot out and say we want a Cheesecake Factory.”

There's not a good response to it, so they either have to shut up or make increasingly unhinged claims, and real-world moderates get turned off when you start rambling about conspiracy theories and claiming that the Soros-funded caravan is bringing votes across the border.

In an article published prior to Tuesday’s vote, Brentin Mock of the City Lab, an online news site that focuses on urban issues, interviewed Vikki Consiglio, chair of the Committee for the City of Eagle’s Landing, who offered an illuminatingly frank explanation for her community’s secessionist movement. According to her, the wealthy white residents wanted upscale restaurants, but feared that such businesses wouldn’t come to the area because of the less affluent — and predominately black — communities that make up the northern half of the city.

“It came up to, you know, form a city because that’s the only way you’re going to do it,” Consiglio told City Lab, referring to the goal of attracting restaurants such as The Cheesecake Factory to the area. “And if this could happen, we’d have more control of our area, and we’d get to see what comes in here. We’d get to control zoning. We’d get to control code enforcement. Then we can hopefully hold the carrot out and say we want a Cheesecake Factory.”

brings to mind the chapo episode on the abhorrent florida retirement community "the villages" where matt talks about how the residents would see corpses stacked like cordwood as long as they could live in an open air mall fulls of tgi fridays.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely

haha they wanted to receive a share of the property tax revenue from the shopping centers of the town they were trying to secede from because their white only town wasn't economically viable as it would have just been a bunch of houses and mansions.

I'm assuming that their new community of eagles landing likely wouldn't have had water or sewage treatment plants either. If they had gotten away with that bullshit the old town should have cemented up the sewer lines and let them rot in a rising tide of filth.

I hope that Stockbrige can raise taxes on those rich fucks and leach as much money out of those mansions as they can while they are stuck there. gently caress those people.

good (real) restaurant advice is to keep your menu lean because you can only make so many things at a good/high quality. Never mind that chain resturants with massive dozen page menus just have a freezer with everything that they just heat up and then finish cooking(?). Good job buying microwave food.

I don't disagree that the Democratic Party failed, because they absolutely did (With the exception of Lyndon Johnson, and even he could have done far more if not for Vietnam). My contention is the argument that it didn't pass because "They" didn't want it enough, when the truth is that many Democrats did want it, and made their entire careers a fight to achieve it, but failed due to external opposition and the internal makeup of the party (loving Dixiecrats! :argh:)

basically I demand nuance in my internet slapfights

Mostly, I'm just annoyed at the party's lack of progress on economic issues. Like, the Dems have moved substantially to the left on social issues, but when it comes to economics and healthcare, things that FDR advocated for in the 1940s are still off the table for Dems. Like, you can dress it up in "well, there were just too many Southern Dems" or whatever all you want, but when Truman's first universal healthcare law was written, segregation was still the norm in the South and interracial marriage was banned in over half the states. Hell, even desegregation of the military - which was enough to drive Southern Democrats to break off and mount a third-party challenge on a segregationist "Dixiecrat" ticket - didn't happen until three years after the first UHC bill died in the House.

There's been enormous moves on racial and gender equality over the years, including things the leading progressives of FDR's time couldn't even imagine. Meanwhile, universal healthcare has failed over and over again since my grandparents were kids. How many more decades is the right to healthcare going to sit on the sidelines?

Its because of the huge menu. They have a bland version of ton of different types of food, so it turns into an easy compromise place for a large group.
