All hardware becomes legacy hardware in time. Even if we assume they’re eventually able to deliver on all those great big shiny promises, I’d rather not have to schedule an outpatient surgery just to keep up on emails. Pocket touchscreens being practically mandatory is bad enough…
Ok, I think Gaza will actually do better under a Trump administration because liberals actually scrutinize Trump and rally against what he does. Whereas, we get nothing but excesses for the failures (to say nothing of the humanitarian crimes) of Biden’s administration.
for someone posting on a politics community, you seem to really dislike actually discussing politics
i’m talking about the article, referencing things in it. Do you often classify conversation as ‘deflection’?
You seem to misunderstand the Dobbs decision. There was no law in the books, abortion was set by the decision of a previous supreme court ruling, Roe V Wade. Dobbs over-rulled that ruling – if there had been an actual law, passed at any point in time the legislature, there would have been nothing the supreme court could do.
A month before the Dobbs ruling and until the following November, the Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency. If they had passed a law enshrining abortion as a right, then all court rulings would become moot.
And… the supreme court is already a captured body for the republicans. Too late. There is going to be a republican in office either next year or in another four. That’s just how US presidencies go – no party holds the wing for very long. Pearl clutching about the makeup of the court is a little late at this point.
im just typing
but sure, i’ll cop to those labels, if you like. One Trolling, Nacissistic screed, mon sieur;
Let’s talk about the Obama administration! What a campaign they ran, and what a voter mandate it got them to boot! Can you imagine if they actually used that mandate? If Obama had actually closed Gitmo and pulled out of Afghanistan, like he had said he would. The lives that would have been saved, the blood unspilled; it’s beyond calculable.
And what was his legislative achievement, for all that mandate could have done? He passed the Affordable Healthcare Act. A bill modeled on proposals made by the Heritage Foundation. The very same Heritage Foundation that’s giving us Project 2025. Imagine that.
Well, I admit I’m enjoying this on several levels. On the one hand, it’s funny to collect downvotes. Half the time, it works like a little ticker that says, “Someone has acknowledged what you said, but doesn’t have the time or capacity to reply”
On the other hand, I do genuinely enjoy talking about politics. I’ve been following US elections since I was in middle school. I like to remind people to think about more than this narrow view of this specific election; the reporting and posting and commenting all tends to have such a very short-term memory for these things.
Really, though, do you think Biden has the political willpower to pull enough swing states? People tend to vote how they feel; keep the incumbent if they’re happy, kick 'em out if they’re not.
The conservatives seem to think they have this one in the bag, they’re already outlining their policy plans, as this article highlights.
We’re both doing now. That’s how this tango works.
I pointed out Democrats are not particularly strategic or serious when it comes to wielding both the legislature and the presidency, you didn’t have a response to that, here we are
Oh, are you like, a bot trained on redditor’s comments? Is that why you only have old memes to reference?
Like, do you have any response to what I’m arguing besides various iterations of “Nuh Uh!”
What mask? What are you even saying? You seem to only communicate in cliches
That is my primary criticism of democrats, yes
How is any of what I’ve been saying “GOP talking points”? Do the conservatives in your life pay nearly this close attention to what the democrats do? Because all the conservatives I know are freaking out over Facebook stories of kitty litter in classrooms or Heather Has Two Mommies being available at the local library.
If your reaction to criticisms of the DNC is to immediately assume i’m some spooky agent provocateur, then you’re approach to politics is just as mindless as the Facebook conservatives.
christ it’s like i’m talking to 2016.
is it nice? moving through time without noticing or remembering it’s passing? As static as a simpsons character?
I’m not saying conservatives are good, I’m saying democrats are not very serious about opposing them.
Are you a child, or have you only recently started paying attention to yankee politics?
…you realize that still doesn’t speak well to the Democrats ability to organize and pass legislation? The republicans are the threat that they are because Democrats leave this shit on the table. It’s like abortion; there have been several occasions in 21st century where the Democrats had the legislature and the presidency, yet it still comes down to 9 unelected elders. They even had a month’s forewarning of the Dobbs decision, yet no legislative fix! They didn’t even try!
Neither candidate seems likely to do anything but perpetuate the genocide, that does appear to be the case.
Trump’s approach to the death penalty stands in stark contrast to that of President Joe Biden, who has openly opposed the death penalty, but done little to move forward legislation to reform or abolish the practice since entering office.
So, it’s saying his words stand in contrast. His actions, on the other hand, seem to say very little.
huh, reminds me of Hillary’s campaign aiding Trump during the republican primaries
