a president can potentially pick several Supreme Court justices
Only if they have support from the senate.
Plus as the head of state, they are one of the biggest symbols of national identity.
Maybe they shouldn't be.
If low voter turnout is a problem, and they don’t want to vote for arguably the important role, why would they bother going out and queuing at all?
I'm arguing it's not the most important role and trying to get people to go vote even if they skip the president part of their ballot.
This doesn't acknowledge the core of my argument. This doesn't even contradict anything I've said.
That was pretty weird. You're also misrepresenting my argument. As far as my motivations for posting, they are 1, get people to vote even if it's not for president and 2, steer more conversation towards local politicians.
If we keep focusing solely on the president we'll never get better options.
We still have snow sometimes that means there's no global warming.
That's included but not the only thing I'm talking about. Also the real point I'm trying to make is if we're able to elect better people to congress and make those voices unignoreable, then it doesn't matter who the president is.
You're so right, because we are not currently living under a full extreme fascist state, that totally means the US isn't moving in that direction. /s
Do the downvoters think the office of president is the most or only thing worth voting for on your ballot?
Massive support for war and policing. Crack down on protesters. Etc.
Don't vote for president if you don't want to, I get it. It's stupid we only have 2 options, especially when both are in mental decline and show little to no ambition to reduce needless deaths and suffering. Both want to move this country towards fascism, and both are creating a worse world they won't have to live in for much longer.
To those who see this and think I'm saying both sides are the same, I'm not. I'll probably vote for Biden in November because he's driving towards the cliff at a slower speed and at least does the bare minimum for marginalized in this country. Also Trump said some pretty racist shit last night. Still, to those who don't want to support either candidate for the reasons above, that's valid.
The point I'm getting to is VOTE DOWN BALLOT. Vote for your congress person and your senator, both federal and state. Vote for your city council and your sheriff and whatever bills there are and everything else. That's where the fight still matters. That's where you can make the most difference. The social justice you want to see won't get near the white house until it's represented in the lower offices. It doesn't matter who the president is if you get enough decent people in a position to stand in their way.
unnecessary addendum
That's the important bit but here's a some sort messages to a few blocks of voters. To Republicans and right wingers, you should reevaluate your positions because what you're supporting is stupid and selfish and often inhumane. To Democrats, if you get enough control over the house and senate it doesn't really matter if Trump is president, also recognize and correct the failures of your party please. To the leftists, please run for office and bring those ideas into the mainstream discussion, try to reach out to your community and to share rather than driving them away with self righteousness. Also, don't be bigoted, that goes for everyone.
Edit: I even said I was voting for Biden and the libs are still mad I think he sucks. Again, the point of this post is to get people to pay attention to the other things on their ballot. The president isn't as important or as powerful as we act like it is. And if you want better options, you have to support better options in races where they actually have a chance.
That's actually pretty good. Maybe it'll say something?
Isn't this kind of posting just feeding into said noise machine?
Here's my opinion of how to try a bagel in its most classic format, me being someone from the northeast but not New York. Everything bagel, cut in half (like a sandwich), toasted, smear each open face with plain cream cheese (can substitute for veggie cream cheese), eat each half separately.
Otherwise it's just a different shape of bread like ciabatta or baguette. Personally I don't love bagels for sandwiches because they tend to not hold up structurally, but bagel is my favorite context for cream cheese.
Again?!
Who's going to post that 2 nickels meme?
The USA first needs a serious left wing party for that to be possible.
Am I reading the article correctly when I put the dividing line between right wing and left wing somewhere in the "other" section?
I don't agree with now being the time, given who that would be. But I do think it would be good to elect a convicted felon to the white house at some point.
Because they won cockroach world war 2?
That's just a safety tip
Yeah... let's tear down the system and replace it with something that's soul enriching instead of soul sucking
Fucking duh. It was a very simple settings change. Turn off "Open supported links" in "Set as default" in YouTube app settings
With most links it goes to the browser version which plays within Jerboa, but with YouTube video links it always takes me away to the YouTube app. Can it not do that please? Thanks
The snake (of the trouser variety) tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit (hanky panky) that she shares with Adam. The consequence of which is painful childbirth.
They're even specifically stated to be naked for this situation.
No weed, no alcohol, no caffeine, no meds, nothing legal or illegal.
If this describes you, how you doing with your rawdogging of reality?
I'm an adult considering a change of career. I have no relevant education or experience. I'm at least an hour away from anywhere that could be considered a major city and would not like to move. My only requirements are that I am actively helping our ecosystem thrive and I'm not dirt poor. What's a position I could reasonably obtain?
My college roommate had this little box that had 2 controllers and RCA'd into the TV that contained basically every game from the most important retro consoles. All the important consoles and games pre y2k. Including Nintendo, Atari, Sega, and maybe some arcade. I assume I can't get it through normal channels because of some of those roms are unsanctioned, but where might I get something like that? Thanks!

This probably isn't the best place for this but something I want to have been mentioned.
Obviously porn in general is fine, even the more risqué or honestly even unsanitary isn't really a problem to me. And yes I understand all the women are of legal and there's verification. But isn't this still problematic? They're being sexualized for the reason of looking like they are too young to be sexualized. That seems like a great way to encourage pedophilia. It's a gross concept, especially given the median age on this platform.
And yes, I've blocked it for myself because I'm too old to want to see that when I'm scrolling /all. But I still think it's a bad message to leave out there.
When I lie, it's most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you're likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?
Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?
