Sean , 3 months ago to Politics in 'It was so scary': Trump fans at Missouri Caucus 'literally attacked fellow Republicans'

@FlorianSimon
I can read the article without any ads. I'm using Brave browser on my Android phone. Is it that they used to be clogged with ads, like articles were broken up across 16 pages with a ad in between each page? That might have been the case for Cracked awhile ago but doesn't seem to be the case now.

@dingus @Bipta
Are gen z likely to be uniformly iPhone users?

That's like the most conformist thing that I have ever heard. The study results are that 21%(F) 25%(M) find having an android phone is a green flag in their partner, while 7%(F) 6%(M) have it as a red flag, so it's not that bad as far android/iPhone is concerned.

Sean , 9 months ago to Politics in How right-wing groups are plotting to implement Trump's authoritarianism

@alignedchaos @mister_monster Republican House blocked what now?

You mean Senator Mitch "whaddya do if another justice needed to be appointed to fill a vacancy in an election year with Trump in office? {giggle to himself} I'd fill it" McConnell somehow used the Democratic held House in '20 to fill RBG's seat with the help of Republican minority?

@beteljuice @IHaveTwoCows

Just putting this out there:

David Duke denies that he's an antisemite, racist, or bigot.

The individual doesn't need to identify and tell others that they are fascist to be objectively fascist. Or should we take the word of David Duke that his bigoted beliefs aren't bigoted because he doesn't recognize them to be bigoted beliefs?

Sean , 10 months ago to Politics in The GOP has a master plan to criminalize LGBTQ people

@michaelrose @booty Biden should have, for the good of the party and nation, step aside and have announced he wasn't going to run for reelection. With a lively primary, the narrative in news cycle would be dominated by a bunch of Democrats saying why their vision was better riffing off of Biden's accomplishment (as smell as they were) and contrasting against GOP's criminal conspiracies and apologists for criminals. Instead we will have a return of hide-a-Biden strategy but no pandemic

Sean , 10 months ago to Politics in Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump

@Tak @Pipoca both the US and the UK have fptp single member districts for national legislature, so the expectation would be that in the UK parliament they'd only have Labour and Tories, no 3rd parties representing regional issues, just wings of the duopoply serving that purpose. But the difference isn't derived in that both have FPTP, but that the US has a media environment that propagates binary choices, BBC still strives for viewership but not the extent that US MSM does via oversimplification

Sean , 10 months ago to Politics in Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump

@sentient_loom @cabron_offsets Sanders has been put into a trance of feeling "heard" by Biden while being neutered in any chance of delivering real material benefit to the people. His career as being a truth-speaker from outside the elite, he's shot his shot to do some real good and will probably retire next year.
