Had to upvote for the ideal midwest pronunciation of “bag”

Pretty much

What about those named “Jill Stein”

I also have to use it for work. I don’t know if it’s Adobe, or Windows 11, or a toxic combination of both, but not a single day goes by where I can just create without things randomly breaking. Illustrator stops letting me drag with the direct selection tool. Premiere switches to hotkeys as I’m typing text. InDesign…actually InDesign has been behaving.

But literally all the other Adobe apps will break AS I’M USING THEM - like, an action I’ve literally just done suddenly doesn’t work or glitches out. A couple weeks ago Premiere and Photoshop would literally crash on open. The day before they were both fine.

I have Gimp, Inkscape, and KdenLive installed just in case.

That would require pinpoint accuracy

The Bound Gods series by Rachel Dunne is pretty brutal and bleak. Not a lot of sex but there’s baby killing, eye gouging, and enslavement. Zero characters make it unscathed and most simply don’t make it. It’s quite a ride.

Since only around 5% of assault accusations turn out to be false, I would take your comment as misogyny. Your mum must be proud.

If Stein was not in the running, some of her voters may have settled for Harris. As it is, she’s muddying the water. It’s not Harris’s fault a bunch of people are going to ignore the money trail and vote Stein. Harris is going to focus on the people who might be swayed.

As for Bush and Bowman, no argument. That was rotten & PACs need to die. Those two were doing something right for AIPAC to go after them.

Their vote puts a dictator in place and Harris is the bad guy for not stroking their egos enough? Gotcha.

Yeah watching the Dems is painful AF. They get real close to GETTING it and then fall back into their political safe zone. The 3rd party voters might not have the numbers, but they have good ideas for the future of the country that need to be considered.

We need more Bernies & AOCs on the inside to pull dems back (at least) toward centre and make them understand that 3rd party voters have some great ideas for bringing positive change and equity. Even if the Dems can’t fully embrace them, let’s nudge the needle back toward progress by paying attention to them. The Dems might do. The GOP won’t. So if there are only two viable parties in the presidential (and congressional) race there’s a clear choice if anyone really wants the opportunity to (frustratingly slowly) change anything for the better.

I always say it’s easier to shame dems into doing the right thing. The GOP have no shame to leverage.

Nope. Stein voters are lost voters. The Harris campaign will ignore them and move on. There is no message being broadcast or received during this election. Voting for a party that can only help install the worse of two evils is 100% a move of immense privilege, not a moral high ground.

They have the power to put a dictator in place by leveraging people who don’t understand the primaries are for your ideals and the main election is for strategy. Until we get ranked-choice voting (and we won’t) your moral posturing does the opposite of what you think. In reality anyway.

The Green party is already irrelevant. Their only power is siphoning away votes every 4 years. If they actually wanted to affect political change, they would establish a broad presence in local politics, establish a voting and policy record, and build a third party that’s actually viable as their local candidates advance to the national stage.

That takes a lot of time and a tonne of effort, though. Apparently it’s just easier taking money from Putin to gum up a presidential election.

Going to add as well that the only party that might actually change those policies will be the dems, since the GOP SUPER won’t, and the green party has zero chance of gaining any power.

Padme: So they’re going to cancel his defense contract, right?

I use a Kaweco Sport as my daily driver.

Bonus: Nobody ever “borrows” it at work because it confuses and terrifies them.

So has she

Maybe Canada, but the US is ruining them too

The legal problems he brought upon himself? By actively and blatantly criming? Boy that must suck for him.

OMG well that kills my dumb little joke then. I’m not deleting it, so hopefully other people who didn’t know about this will find your reply.

I’m not sure if it’s more awful because it’s innately horrible or because it’s that fn believable.

You know she watched the debate. And got more pleasure from that than anything he ever did, second only to getting a hush money check from him.
