It’s pretty insane. If the guy’s not good enough to run for president how could he possibly be good enough for the job.

I’m really out of practice, but I remember that onion fondly. My teacher would have us write our fundamental principles down and then do it again a year later and compare.

I trained tai chi and a little ba gua. I sparred a little with some karate and take kwon do people. I cleaned up. I did some light sparring with a ba gua guy and he was literally throwing me around effortlessly.

I was taught well. I would imagine that my teacher was 1/1000. When looking for him, I found at least 5 different schools that had no idea what they were doing and teaching tai chi anyways.

Progressive policies are popular. There’s a phenomenon where centrists pretend to be progressive in order to be elected and then do a heel turn.

‘Et tu Bernie?’ References this. And here I am having to explain very recent history to some lib in defense of some leftist/progressive I’ve never met because libs can’t take any fucking criticism during any fucking time. Maybe stop for a moment and engage some critical thinking. We weren’t happy to see biden drop out JUST because he’s old. Everyone was hoping for policy change, but that dreams gone, and Trump’s up in polls as a result…

Oddly enough that secondary exodus is probably why this place is so much more positive

Or just don’t federate with threads. Embrace, extend, extinguish is a thing

Essentially ensuring any RFK voter is taken from biden and not Trump

It could happen here, had an episode that talked about drone use in the middle east. They interviewed people that talked about how horrifying it was to hear that high pitched whine. I get that drones are having a moment, but that moments been going on for quite a while. It’s also not going anywhere anytime soon. There’s going to be countermeasures to the countermeasures.

Exactly. It would be an incredible way to push forward lgbt+ rights. I’d prefer a candidate with good politics, but I’d be lying if I didn’t like the idea of how it would ruffle bigots… But Harris’s main goal is to get elected.

New Hampshire is 4 seats. Unless the race has been decided by single digits, this is a non story. Polling in July doesn’t tell you anything. See?

Each swing state specifically

And November is a long way away. These articles about polling are ridiculous. Harris isn’t even officially the candidate yet

New Hampshire is 4 seats. Come back when she’s winning Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia, Nevada, or North Carolina

My instance doesn’t let me see who down voted. I used to be on kbin.social and it used to be nice to see both. Knowing a nazi sympathizer is down voting you is a badge of honor… anyways, I appreciate you putting out the data.

I’m unsure why I was down voted when your response backed me up. 44 years ago is pretty recent

The incumbents not being challenged is relatively recent though. It’s been that way my entire life, but not my parents

Obama’s primary wins are probably the last time they were actually democratic.

Nukes… It’s a big deterrent… they’re such a big deal that either every country should have them. Or no country should be allowed to have them… Everyone should be timid about attacking anyone that has nukes

Russia’s great strength is also a big weakness. It’s size gives population, and resources, but also makes it very hard to defend.
