Wouldnt you want to preserve what you are removing as historical artifact?

I mean isn’t that cannon?
You are just wrong, and it’s not even worth the effort it takes to dismiss the fact that your assumptions are all baseless.
The third party lane has been viable since Obama failed as a progressive populist.
If Bernie would have run as independent in 2016 alone, he would have won. And this would have held for 2020 or 2024. But that’s not who Bernie is. But his personality aside, the lane is and has been open.
The fact is that most voters aren’t loyal to a party but actually despise both major parties. 2024 not Biden and Trump were polling at historic lows for any race in the past 80 years. People are looking for a person to vote for, not a party.
This naive response is actually the biggest barrier, and I’m not saying it wouldn’t have been a multi year project. But if it had started in earnest in 2016; if Bernie would have run as independent. The lane was absolutely open.
That all being said, the US is entering into a period of one party rule due to its persistent unwillingness to have entertained third parties.
Ok. Your opinion has been noted and dismissed. You clearly don’t know fuck about shit.
Yes. And if we had started on this project in the aftermath of 2016, we’d have a viable third party.

That’s like, barely enough for a brief hike. Minimum 20 liters a head.

What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?1·3 days agoI mean it’s barely a platformer. it’s like, the illusion of being a platformer but it requires no real skill or precision like a platformer would. Also, it’s not even open enough for you to just platform to wherever. The “platforming” aspect of the game is completely locked down to contrived paths they need you to take.

It’s the destruction of something a human can never create.

Its a long game.

I can get on board with that being an issue in Witcher3, but like, idk, to some extent is this because as an open world game they cant “force” you to play in a linear evolution?

Like, it looked cool and the whole concept was great.
It ends up just being a game of “go here get this come back”. Yawn fest.

Oh emo’s gonna come back someday. And along with it, I fully expect these to comeback to.

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto Memes@lemmy.ml•I don't like it, but I don't make the rules7·5 days agoAttacking a guy running as an outsider in Maine for being pro-worker, pro-gun, and fed up with the system kind of sounds like they’re misreading the electorate. Like… don’t threaten Mainers with a good time, you know?
Yeah. I totally agree. And, full disclosure, I was in a zoom with Graham last night (an organization I volunteer/ organize with is going to endorse him, and this is a huge hint for your doxxing effort). And I did try to directly ask him about this, but I was late to the zoom and couldn’t get my question in. He also seemed pretty rattled.
These kinds of “attacks” aren’t going to stop and I think its a strategic mistake to apologize, depending on where you are at in the candidate cycle. Graham caught on leaning into the kinds of things he said in his reddit account, not leaning away from them. And the best model for that who found great success in doing so is the, now meteoric, Zohran Mamdani.
Zohran didn’t lean away from calling Israels actions a genocide: he leaned into it. And he made political hay in doing so). Graham isn’t wrong in saying that there have been no demonstrated diplomatic solutions to fascism: so don’t back down from the statement.
