FDR and Teddy both snuck in because the left-leaning party wanted to pay lip service, and instead got real progressive action. Like, there is precedent. And you if think shit is worse than the gilded age... I won't disagree but I do think it could still happen.
This is something I struggle with too, but people tend to assume that others make observations when they want to say something deeper. So, making a surface level observation will lead to people assuming you have some ulterior motive behind doing so.
In this case, your comment smacks very similar to a rhetorical device here in the states where people claim that both political parties are equally bad. It's a bad faith argument because Democrats tend to be the milquetoast status quo party, whereas the Republicans actively try to rip the government apart and take away people's rights every time they're the majority.
Yeah. The right uses the same language as the left even when it's inappropriate because it muddies the water and makes the rhetoric less powerful. The Sartre quote about anti-semites applies.
And I'm not judging you, I'm telling you why people were downvoting you.
Yes, by siphoning 200k from the republican. And the millions of dollars pumped into this election. And the name recognition of a Cuomo. Like, yeah it's not great, but it is objectively good. Even with that crazy vote total, it wasn't enough to stop the left populist. Which is all we need to show the national party. Left populism is popular and will continue making wins if you then deliver the goods (the step that corpo dems hate)
Comparing those races to this one... Adams won last cycle with 753k votes. Cuomo lost with 854k. Mamdani has over a million votes. It's not even close to comparable.
I pirated it and didn't complete it. The gameplay quickly devolved into the same three spells (even if they were called different things) and really boring open world mechanics. Those first few hours were fantastic, captured the wonder of hogwarts, then it got boring and bad real fast.
Yes. It does. You can see it in the increasing inflation rate. Their fake dollars impact our real ones. As they hoard more wealth, cumulative wealth becomes more worthless.
Presumably the hint there would be where the sun was coming from. In the south, noon. In the north, midnight. Just, uh, like 6 and 6 during the summer. East, am. West, pm.
Or white people who've never thought of the wider world. Yeah, there's racism there, but that's mostly fear of the unknown. Not excusing racists, just saying that people know what they know and conservative propaganda reaches them faster because it meets them where they are (afraid of the unknown and not knowing anyone who isn't white)
