If the American voter is a moron, as you proposed, then is the smarter party the one that treats them like a moron, yet gets elected. Or the party that says they are not, treats them like an educated adult but loses elections to someone like Trump. Multiple times. While calling those that vote for him garbage. Well, garbage fought back and kicked them out. Now Trump will kick them while they are down but blame immigrants and the deep state.
There is enough blame to go around. However, voters as a bloc is a more nebulous concept than a voter or party.
Yes, it they still don’t want the status quo, so they would not have been happy either way. The point is that the party proposing a change can scoop up votes of those wishing for change, which is most people.
Biden didn’t win on no change. He won on change from trumps presidency. Change wins. Proposals win. Stability is good, but if people don’t feel stability, like with runaway inflation, or a recent global pandemic, or a recent trump presidency, then saying things are stable and good is not a winner. They are not.
Making an effort and hanging a bad made costume is better than a bought costume. It should be about creativity, not money.
I’d still give candy to kids. Not teens. I’d give extra candy to kids that made an effort in whatever way.
The meme is saying that Israelis rights to the land dont override the rights of other peoples, like the Palestinians. Its pointing out that many who think Israel are doing nonwrong would not be infavour of native Americans bombing their cities, or even giving up their land.
I have a ps5. I dont think I’ll ever buy another console thats not a PC. I want to keep my library. I want a choice of places to buy games. I want no subscription for basic services. Consoles solved a problem that running high end games with specialized hardware was cheaper. Now its not, so they dont make financial sense.
I would assume my next games machine will be a steam deck type device that works like a switch for big screen, or that just streams over WiFi to my TV.
As with everything, it also matters where it hits.
Katrina and New Orleans’s levees was a big deal. Helene flooding areas many moles from the coast in high altitude areas.
There have been bigger hurricanes that do less damage and likely there will be future weaker ones that do more.
Support is more likely to cone for AI purposes. They won’t want to be left behind with poor support on the servers that run AI.
And about how judging someone in that way isn’t fair or healthy for either of you.
The line was a juxtaposition of interests to easily characterize them. Its also very catchy as this meme would show.
I’m looking forward to astro bot. But I’ll be waiting for a sale.
My first date with my husband, we went for dinner. I’m not going to want a broccoli themed ring. This is just odd. If she was a big iron man fan, perhaps it would work but just seeing a movie once isn’t that. This speaks not just to bad choices but a lack of maturity and understanding each other. Probably good she said no.
Well, they are meant to be punished for it at the next election. The problem is the media makes everything a big scandal when not all of it is.
In this case he’s subverting the will of the people, so he should be destroyed at the ballot. However the division and rise of the far right means it could short that way too. Those who shifted left last time might shift back having shown their discontent.
He’s saying he doesn’t want Parliament to have a no confidence vote, bit if there is non stable government as voted, that’s what is supposed to happen. Then return for election again.
As a pixel owner, none of the exclusives seem part of android. It’s been stuff like camera effects, which I associate more with apps. As someone who loved nexus and wished pixels were more like that, I’m disappointed too with the proliferation of play services apis. However, I don’t mind that pixels are competitive, as I think it fosters innovation. If pixels were like nexus, and just a pure android experience, there would be nothing new in the last few generations. Phone OS innovation has plateaued.
Awesome band continues to be awesome.
Yes, he’s selfless, lol. He’s doing it for financial gain and has damaged democracy in the process.
I want to be president for you. When you’re not a weird candidate, they just let you do it.
A bit risky. They could find they become a boycott target which could kill adoption. Companies won’t want wasted stock, sonmay be risk averse to using them.
Look over the robots left shoulder, your right.
I think a large portion of lemmy is too focused on making lemmy popular. Fake engagement and posts that nobody cares about don’t create engagement. Instead, more focus on just enjoying lemmy would ironically lead to better posts and discussion. Likewise, people post the same articles to the same communities seeking engagement. It leads to dupilication which waters down the discussion, ironically, also leading to less engagement. I think federalised communities, as has been discussed would be a good solution. However, it strikes me that they don’t want to miss out on karma, for some reason. So, short term gain, for long term hassle of multiple posts. If some of the most prolific posters posted to the most relevant community and cross posted elsewhere, then maybe communities would coalesce more.
In a capitalism hellscaoe, you’re not far off. However a soup kitchens purpose is to feed people. A scammers purpose is to scam.
A political partys purpose is to get their members elected and pass legislation together. An individual politician can have similar but different purposes, but the parties purpose is clear. In this case, unlike the soup kitchen, the Dems are failing in their purpose.
