So how do you maintain the darts? I'm imagining this in a mage pet build so that I can keep distance and not invest in armor
I love this game. I've been literally never understood the crossbow. what's good about it?
You can tune in right now: Nothing, forever.
I think you just described all of lemmy/ reddit.
For the previous 8 years, instead of fighting fascism and white nationalism, the Democrats have made their enemy the populists within their own party.
It ended expectedly.
Here are the top recipients of the campaign's billion dollars of spending.
> After raising more than $1 billion, the Kamala Harris campaign is expected to end up with millions of dollars of debt once it’s done paying vendor invoices. The debt will likely get passed along to the Democratic National Committee and could burden the party as it works to rebuild after its catastrophic election season. > > President-elect Donald Trump is already scoring political points over the Democrats’ debt issues. Over the weekend, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do. We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was ‘Earned Media,’ and that doesn’t cost very much.” > > You’ve probably heard already about some of the Harris campaign’s most outlandish splurges, like the $1 million it paid to the media company of surrogate Oprah Winfrey, or running ads on the Las Vegas Sphere, or spending six figures to build a set for the “Call Her Daddy” podcast while declining to appear for free on the Joe Rogan podcast.
stop sending ALL aid to israel now.
Get ahead of the curve and give yourself worms now.
I've said this before, but I think it needs to be repeated:
The populist, anti-elitist lane on the left is wide open. I don't know that a mainstream "Democratic" party can take that lane, and I don't know if we should bother trying to drag them there. However, what I can say is that there is going to be some significant hay to make in that field.
I think Pramila Jayapal, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Delia Ramirez, Jamaal Bowman, Summer Lee, Cori Bush, Katie Porter, anyone who has been rat-fucked by Democrats should all abandon their identification with the Democratic party and become independents. And in the time that he has left, at their lead, should be Bernie Sanders, who never needed to be told about the consequences of running with milquetoast policies.
Even if they caucus with Democrats, true progressives need to show them that their votes aren't a given, and if they want them, they need to take a step towards their legislative priorities. Giving up our votes without leverage, giving in to the Washington groupthink: THIS LOSES ELECTIONS!
We shouldn't focus on redeeming the Democratic party. Let them sink. Focus on getting good quality, reliable progressive populists elected. The Democratic party is a fucking anchor and we're better off without it. Let those unwilling to let go of that Washington groupthink sink with it.
Only a small portion of GenZ was incentivized to show up this election. Interpreting the fact that only right wing GenZ showed up shouldn't be treated as a condemnation of a generation. White women didn't show up for Harris either. Would we make the same condemnation?
It all comes down to the fact that Democrats offered little and less in the four years where they could have accomplished something, and when called out for that, those critical were told to shut the fuck up.
What the Democrats offered was right wing politics: their base won't vote for it. Which isn't to say that groups like GenZ or women won't show up if you actually offer them something they want to vote for.
This loss can be dropped squarely on the shoulders of the deeply toxic "Blue No Matter Who/ Blue MAGA/ You can't be critical of Democrats because you only have two choices" philosophy. It was seriously at work here on Lemmy, and moderation and prominent posters here (and across the internet) did real damage filtering down forums like c/Politics, r/Poltiics, etc to select for a narrow and now very proven wrong approach to electoralism.
could you fucking imagine if Merrick fucking Garland had gone after Trump like this in 2021?
People really gotta stop taking MIT articles as meaningful.
it was a political lie.
Not too dissimilar how the administration handled holding Trump accountable for his crimes. Too little, too late, and clearly just for show in an election year.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump each need at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. Follow here for 2024 presidential election updates, results, analysis and more.

This is a strong signal that Harris may over-perform polling.
“We're not going to ask the Muslim community to vote for the people that are funding and doing the slaughter. So that means Vice President Harris is going to lose about 40,000 Arab and Muslim votes.”
As election night approaches, Academy Award-winning filmmaker and Michigan native, Michael Moore, talks to Mehdi. They discuss why Kamala Harris is losing voters in that key swing state, what she needs to do to win the election, and what Arab-American voters in Michigan want.
Across battlegrounds, there is a 10-point gender gap in early voting so far, according to a POLITICO analysis.
Trump won the state's 15 electoral votes in 2016 and 2020, while President Barack Obama carried the state in 2008 but lost it in 2012 to Mitt Romney.
Buckle up and brace for impact.
In this fiery and unapologetic interview on Al Jazeera’s UpFront with Marc Lamont Hill, Congresswoman Cori Bush doesn't hold back. She directly addresses her loss in the Democratic primary, placing blame squarely on AIPAC’s massive campaign against her. Bush calls out the pro-Israel lobby for deceptive ads and highlights the $8 million spent to unseat her, all while she stood firm for Palestinian Liberation and Black Liberation. In a powerful response to accusations of anti-Semitism and political priorities, Bush declares, "AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down." Watch as she discusses the intersection of Black and Palestinian solidarity, Biden’s foreign policy, and her future political strategy. This interview goes deep into the challenges of speaking truth to power, even when it comes with heavy consequences.
Cori Bush is a trailblazing U.S. Congresswoman from Missouri, community activist, and a former nurse who rose to prominence during the Ferguson protests. Known for her fierce advocacy on issues such as police violence, housing justice, Black maternal health, and reparations, Bush is also a leading voice in the call for Palestinian Liberation. Her unapologetic activism has put her at odds with powerful political forces, but she continues to fight for justice across borders.
“Should the United States have done more, and should we do more, to hold Netanyahu accountable? The answer is absolutely yes… if I were to say, look, you know, we're going to continue to not give you offensive weapons, etc., he will say you were on the losing end of that [Congressional] vote.”
Congressman Ro Khanna of California recently participated in a Congressional delegation that traveled to the Middle East and met with Benjamin Netanyahu. “I think it's important for progressive voices to be in the room, and I was very, very, candid with him,” says Khanna. Mehdi pressed Khanna on the US not holding Israel accountable, Harris’s failing campaign, and why Khanna thinks Elon Musk could have been on the side of the Democrats this election.

The 2024 campaign has entered the final stretch and, as polls tighten, it seems Kamala Harris plans to lean into attacking Donald Trump as a threat to democracy.
Over the past week the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the New York Times and even the conservative National Review have all reported or commented on the messaging pivot. In a newly unveiled official campaign ad, a disembodied voice warns gravely that a second Trump term “would be worse. There would be no one to stop his worst instincts. No guard rails.” At a recent rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Harris reminded her supporters of Project 2025, the “detailed and dangerous plan” that she believes an “increasingly unstable and unhinged” Trump will follow to cement “unchecked power”. She sounded the alarm about the dire threat Trump poses to “your fundamental freedoms” and how in his second term he would be “essentially immune” from oversight.
Explaining the gap between Harris’s favorability ratings and the head-to-head polls.
I think this will be readable to non-members? I'm at least going to repost the first bit, and if people can't access, I'll copy pasta the whole thing.
>#### Trump’s running a Billboard Lawyer campaign > I’m sure you’ve seen those big billboards for plaintiffs’ attorneys: for whatever reason, there are usually lots of them out near the airport. They usually look something like this: > > ! > > ! > > These billboards are not advertising that the attorney is a nice guy. Because you don’t want a nice guy. You’re not trying to win a popularity context. You’re trying to win a lawsuit. You want someone aggressive. Hit back! Get the Gorilla, whatever that means. In fact, you probably expect the plaintiff’s attorney to be a little bit of an asshole. But he’s your asshole. He’s on your side. > > You know who this reminds me of? > > !
“You cannot do outreach to a community when you cannot deliver the thing that they are asking for. And so, unless and when that happens, I am afraid that these voters are not going to come over and vote for her.”
Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar joins Mehdi to discuss Kamala Harris, Arab and Muslim voters, Gaza, Trump, AIPAC, and more.
Posting this because its happening live. 300k viewers. Currently a tornado outbreak in the evacuation zones for Milton.
At one point in this weird nonsensical abortion they call life, I had a 64 Ford Econoline. It was the model that had 360 windows (the 8 door model). It was the most fun touring vehicle I've ever been in. Granted it only did 55 with the pedal to the metal (quite literally floored). The best vehicle I've ever owned. So great for doing back roads in. You could see EVERYTHING.
So the Canoo is going to have a 360 view and a full roof moon roof? Consider me sold for island driving. Come out and see me bruh you gonna get a tour of the island.
So has anyone bought a like.. gen 0 vehicle before? I've never owned a new car. And never from ab untested manufacturer. I'm just lucky to have this chanc.
Like, I expect deliveries to start in the next few months and I'm trying to set expectations for myself. Has any one here preordered an EV? Is this a mistake? Should I just get another leaf?
