I dunno about that race vs gender analysis.

Obama sent them into a racist rage, and thats what trump actually campaigned on/what people actually voted on.

Worse still, thats what hes delivering, and conservatives are mostly happy enough to make sacrifices if it means the dark skinned marginalized people get hurt.

I keep thinking theres gotta be a drug that gets you into that state, but alas pharmaceutical companies have not found the magic money maker, so plain ol stimies help a bit.

I find your idea that a comment ought be positive rather displeasing. I think its a bit of toxic positivity whereby useful criticism is muted for no good reason other than vibes.

The big point though, is that you simplifying my comment down to positive or negative, going so far as to imply that my comments said anything like "give up" is completely out of order.

Someone in a dark place does not want to be belittled by advice that minimizes the actual difficulty of the situation they're in and the hard work and process they'll need to go through to get out of it.

This idea that people magically are just happier with light, trite advice is inane to me.

It also seems utterly empathy lacking to dump on self-pity like people aren't allowed to be sad, like thats a failure of the person.

Quite frankly you come across as someone who pretends to care so they can beat down others with their opinions and feel smarter/better by using weaponized civility. Its all frustrating and it feels like you have tried your best to egg on confrontation here with how wildly you misrepresented what I've said.

No way they don't undo that before the midterms if they feel they'll lose.

You've been the only one bring incivility to this conversation.

you refused to acknowledge any of my points when you disagreed.

If that were the case, trumps numbers wouldn't be similar to the prior election while Harris's numbers were notably lower.

If you even get to 2028, good luck.

Harris was just Biden extended and I think the lack of voter turnout amongst democrats despite the stakes showed what a big disadvantage being a woman is.

The fact 2016 popular vote was close was crazy, but then you have a (half) black woman?

I dunno.

She's one of the best already in the system, but she's nowhere as quick quitted or ready on her feet as Mamdani, and more than that, unless they get the house and a super majority in the senate, it's going to be very hard for her to promise things that will actually come true.

All of that of course has the background where the US might very well not have a 2028 election, especially if they don't have a massive change in power in the 2026 mid terms.

I would love it. I would love a coloured woman in the top position as a direct pendulum swing back from Trump, but I am also pragmatic and I'm not sure the racism wouldn't win over actually having a more progressive platform.

I must then ask, as someone not familiar with Irish politics.

Are they wrong? Does she actually want to leave the EU and or NATO?

Now it's Gen X

They revelled in being considered different but are acting the same.

They put in so much effort to capture unions.

I think it's more like, from a corrupt rich politicians perspective, no matter what they run as, their goals are most often aligned with Conservatives.

Their backers want lower taxes and more handouts, and so the most they're willing to go is "moderate".

Then, the people are forced to pick between the "moderate" and the fucks the country up but "at least is racist" option, and somehow many pick the latter.

They don't want to learn, they want to harm marginalized communities, or appear tough on crime to old out of touch and stubborn Conservatives or distract from something (often corruption) or some mix of the above.

I don't think anyone even slightly aware think wars on drugs are positive for the population.

I can’t say that this advice is relevant for those with ADHD, but the fact that your first response wasn’t to investigate whether their advice was useful

One-sentence prescriptions for a complex problem are rarely actionable. “see a professional” is at least concrete but obviously still has problems as described. “just start” or “regulate emotions” both lack actionability and detail. They both name outcomes while offering no practical advice to reach said outcomes. More than that, they downplay and minimize how hard this actually is. It's belittling to people who are struggling, and I responded in a polite manner to what, to be honest, was very frustrating to read.

Your follow-up comes off as scolding rather than engaging in good faith. The fact I expanded in a later comment which was ignored in favour of chastising me for not praising the near-truism is more frustrating still.

Looks unique and kinda sick, and I usually don't really care for front engined 2 seat sports cars, because they typically, IMO, look comically misproportioned.

Partially because we allow every decent company that pops up here to be bought out by Americans.

We can't trust any negotiations we make with him long term anyways.

Quite frankly, in the absolute best case scenario, we have to hunker down, diversify trade, bolster our support systems, and hope to high heavens that our neighbours start back taking their lithium.

parties kinda cant really afford not to take donations from gambling companies.

Can they not?

Is spending so linked that its such a direct ratio?

If so, how are you not already completely owned by corporations?

Inherently then, anyone actually trying to improve the country must pick some lobbyist groups to exclude no?

What in the world are these self defeating mixes of opinions.

I don't think any human being of good health could hold those opinions simultaneously and in good faith.

You are simply hurting the cause you pretend to support by ignoring the only system you have in place to solve it.

It is simply impossible to get the amount of people needed for what you are talking about organized.

You'd need more than the third of maga voters.

It is crazy you aggressively eschew pragmatism/liken it to boot licking. Absurd, naive, and counterproductive behaviour.

While this is true, he was an open white supremacist, so, mild nuance.

Still nuance, but mild.
