Would someone just tell me who is the most correct person to use my incredibly-potent nuclear bomb Vermonter vote on already? You know, Uncle Ben once said "with great power comes great responsibility", and that goes triple for MY vote, so someone spill the beans already so I can finally fix all of this.

I do not believe anyone who votes for Trump has the plight of the Palestinian people anywhere close to their top 20 concerns or gotchas. As for the abstainers, there's a whole new thread for people who won't hold their nose and vote against Trump to go and get yelled at. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

My wife has been a middle school language arts teacher for the past 10 years and LOL if you think teachers are allowed to enforce and enact positive behavioral change in their classrooms the way teachers did in the 20th century. Teaching is COMPLETELY different now from when millennials were in primary school. It is DRASTICALLY more regulated, controlled, and restricted, the kids that don't care care even less than ever, are openly belligerent, and the parents are either out to lunch or too hosed over by other concerns to lean in to their kids' educations. It's a bit of a poo poo show. Edit: Oh, that comment about how "students on their phones are at least quiet and let me teach and let other kids listen, so gently caress it" is actively spoken about and stated as classroom policy more and more. It's just how they have to operate. mutata fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Feb 27, 2024 |

Grater posted:That's one of the side benefits to the ongoing enshittification. All my social spaces have closed and so this place is about the last place left where I get political discourse. Posts like yours is why I'm still here, thanks for the perspective. I started therapy in 2019 due to crippling anxiety related to climate change which blossomed into a strong long-term depression. I am married and have 2 kids. I'll not get into it all, but one thing I tried is I started focusing on having a good day, and making the given day as successful for me and my family as I can. My mantra to stuff became "but hey, maybe we can order pizza tonight" as a kind of reminder that there is a day, today, right now that I can enjoy, even if there are days I'm gonna hate someday. We're all gonna die. My kids are gonna die. The world is weird and the industry I work in is toxic and collapsing, but hey, maybe we can order pizza tonight. Sounds dumb, but it was a spoon I used to dig myself out of some dark caves.

Supreme Court is a partisan organization now, so no shocker there. Bet even if the left took the House and kept the Senate and the presidency they would still do absolutely nothing to fix the court, lol.

Pantaloon Pontiff posted:"The left" doesn't have the Senate or presidency unless you're using a really skewed definition of 'left'. Even if you consider Biden a leftist because his labor policy isn't entirely bad, numerous Democratic senators certainly don't qualify as 'left', most obviously Manchin. There aren't even 50 votes in the Senate for removing the filibuster, there certainly aren't 50 votes for radically altering the Supreme Court - something even a president as popular as FDR couldn't pull off. Yes, obviously. Hence me saying that they'll never unfuck the Court.

Some capitol reporter voice on NPR earlier today said that they had heard some democrats comment in private that they'd be willing to support Johnson and prevent him getting voted out. Who knows what will happen over the Easter recess, though.

If Dems went along with it in an election year, given that it's MTG of all people, my instincts suggest that they would come out of that stunt behind not ahead.

Nail Rat posted:I think our nation and system has failed and trying to pretend that it's alright when we pay for a genocide is wrong. I don't think trump is the lesser evil but I find the distinction rather unimportant at this point. Biden goes around congress to help Israel kill children. That is a fact. lol if this is all objectively true, then who the gently caress cares? If your view is objectively true, then we're all already WELL into the Cool Zone and there's no return, at least not in our lifetime without a bunch of massive war, so go get high and watch a movie, poo poo.

It helped me get to a place where at least some of the time I can have a functional day without breaking down into soggy ball of terror and depression. SA is NOT the place for healthy versions of this conversation you're trying to have. It's actually a bad place for this poo poo that will make your mental health worse.

So the 3 people who love political semantics "ACTUALLY!  " debates can go talk about that. The Biden admin and the press especially very obviously want to draw the parallel from pro Palestine protests to terrorism.
