I can't believe republicans are the only ones seen as fiscally responsible when the only thing dems do is hand out bloat grift to corporations and then go on vacation for the rest of the year. At least republicans are cognizant enough to pass some minor garbage that lowers every costs for an election cycle as the financial cost is kicked down the road and dems loving eat it every time.

Good news, my buddy who bought a 4bd house with 30k property tax is about to get a ton of money back he wouldn't otherwise! Thanks Dems!

I think my favorite part of the D&D thread was just overall how much the mods really made themselves seem like bastards, all on their own.

Like they just volunteered the info

It was such a wild ride. I'd go to bed feeling sympathetic to them because they're obviously frustrated and being pulled in more than one direction but by the time I woke up the next morning and caught up I'd be totally disabused of the notion.

The kind of people who'd post in the D&D feedback thread in defense of D&D against feedback really revealed themselves as the kind of people whose main focus in online discourse is to argue in bad faith while using polite language so nobody can tell

The suggestions some made wrt enforcing politeness were, well

I cannot for the life of me think of a way in which that would end well

like, if you are really invested in an online community, and there's a thread for feedback where a whole bunch of people who left the community are patiently and calmly explaining to you why they left and what they prefer about their new community, one would think you'd happily accept that feedback and work to incorporate it, but,

So I completely missed the part in the completely useless D&D Feedback thread where I was attacked for like five pages for having the perfectly reasonable take that the CIA is bad at Intelligence but good at Crime.

And now it's locked so I can't go in to defend myself. gently caress the D&D mods.

The D&D mods' constant reluctance to comment on criticisms of the media analysis thread until the specific argument about the trustworthiness of the CIA-provided intel boiled over into the feedback thread was absolutely amazing to watch. the model laid out in the OP is treated as the singular source of Truth In Media Understanding, when it's an insanely easy to abuse model:



like, at best, one of them is very good friends with the nutty professor and would feel bad telling them 'hey man we have to un-sticky your thread because it turns out it wasn't well received' and at worst it's like, the biden staffer mod making sure that only The Right Criticisms of His President are Received.

Checking the composition of the sample...

quote:

This survey of 1,209 adults
{snip}
There are 469 Democrats and Democratic leaning independents and 413 Republicans and Republican leaning independents.

That leaves 327 voters who didn't specify an affiliation.

The survey has more Democratic-leaning voters, but also thinks the Democratic party is the greatest threat to democracy? The only way that makes sense is if the vast majority of "no specified affiliation" are hard right-wingers. I would just toss that survey into the trash where it belongs and not worry about it. EDIT 2: Fine, I see how it could be valid.

EDIT: The age breakdown of registered voters might be a clue:

18 to 29 - 16%
30 to 44 - 23%
45 to 59 - 27%
60 or older - 34%

61% of those polled are 45 or older.

WTF is going on, holy poo poo.

It's the natural end result of a party that has gatekeeped itself into irrelevancy through ridiculous, bougie, PMC standards. Again, I have to say Democratic primary voters are the worst people on the planet who have no conception of what "experience" or "competence" means.
