2015 Honda Civic SI - best sports car I could get for the price. Great value car; still running perfectly almost 10 yrs later (afai~~k~~ct). The interior was also much better compared to others.
Probably not getting a new car ever due to all the "smart" features cars come with that I really don't like.
Oh shit another one! lol. I totally understand how landlines work, but thanks for trying to help. It still doesn't really make sense in the context of a file download being interrupted though. Only the first person to pick up would be interrupting it
Regardless, "moms" is absolutely a word. Y'all just don't know/use it. I understand your logic, so there's no need real to explain it. What's amusing is the jump to believing it's a whole other thing instead of just a nickname you don't know/have yet to learn
Like, I mean, some folks in the south (or east) call their grandparents meemaw. That was a new one for me. Not the exact same, but you get the idea
Logic seems sound. lol. You're most likely right. No need to look into it further, really
C'mon dude, the great depression? I'm obviously talking about our lifetimes. Was that a joke? Are you over 100 (and using Lemmy! wow)? More relevant to our chat, do you think the average dumbass American voter compares their life to people living 100 years ago or smth?
Sure, I'm totally the one nitpicking here.
Ok, let's take a step back. I said Dems messaging on the economy sucked. Then, you ~~shilled for~~ brought up Harris and said her messaging was fine or maybe great - it obviously wasn't since she lost and most voters cited the economy and/or inflation as their biggest concern (key data we should maybe consider here). You then linked an article quoting her. Let me know if I missed what you wanted me to see. Are you trying to say you believe that most Americans would've been swayed, or convinced she would really fix the economy?
We should try to understand the people we're talking to in a conversation. It's not productive to converse if you misunderstand or misrepresent their statements. So far this doesn't seem very productive
You'll note that's very relevant here where what economists mean when they say economy (inflation rate/unemployment) is very different from what most working class Americans mean when they use the word (inflation impact/social mobility/monthly budget). Let me know if that's not clear. It's similar to how scientists use theory very differently to most laymen.
lol. This is adorable
How wud two people pick up a phone tho?
Sorry for the super slow response. Just got saw ur link.
I believe we have an extraordinary opportunity to make our middle class the engine of America’s prosperity, to build a stronger economy where everyone, everywhere has a chance to pursue their dreams an aspirations, and to ensure that the United States of America continues to out-innovate and out-compete the world,” said Harris
Imo, this is a silly and ridiculous thing to say. The economy is absolute shit, it's not strong it's worse than it's ever been. She should've said, "to fix this absolutely broken, failed system that serves only the very wealthy" or something like that.
Also, I said Dems - I never even specified Harris. I had literal conversations with libs on Lemmy downvoting me for saying the economy was shit despite inflation being down and unemployment supposedly being low like I was going against the accepted talking point. The metrics economists use seem purposefully irrelevant,;most Americans don't really give a shit about those things. This is how you have most Americans cheering for a CEO's murderer.
I mean, really, a "strong economy"? What a joke at best, but what a backhanded insult to anyone struggling in the working class at worst.
That said, happy holidays!! We'll figure this out together!
I mean, would it make sense to cite an encyclopedia?
...those were like these big collections of books that had a bunch of random, useful information in it. Idk if those even included sources
Isn't it more likely he's just lying? I mean, is it really even wise to believe he's genuinely being honest?
Sorry if I come off as combative, I just legit don't understand why anyone would believe he's not mainly running propaganda for his very misinformed base and instead criticize him for lying/being wrong about yet another thing
Also, what should our messaging be to folks that are not on twitter and are simply ignorant of what the hell's going on? I really don't think making fun of a propaganda mouthpieces works as well as having our own propaganda network(s) to support our political strategy/platform.
Seriously! I don't think we can blame them at all. What else can we expect from the most entitled, self-centered generation in history but something extremely selfish and self-serving?
lol
That's hilarious. lol
Thirty-six percent of millennials also said they were going through a midlife crisis, while only 15 percent of baby boomers said they experienced similar financial stress during early adulthood.
I mean, I wouldn't phrase it that way myself - I have a lot of respect for Cenk/TYT - but I get the sentiment. Are they truly saying what they believe? Have they lost the plot? Did they jump the shark?
I've been really confused by them, moreso since their recent statements on trans folks, their attacking fellow leftists, and now their interest in building alliances with some pretty dodgy people.
I usually answer a question like yours with some variation of: I can't tell/don't have the energy/intelligence to figure it out and it doesn't matter. Treat them based on their utility to your political goals - things like getting informed, educated, organized.
That said, if you ask me, I think they need a break. They're lost in the sauce and don't know what's what. Therapy probation wouldn't hurt 'em either
