They make universal flappers now that are actually universal.

And most arms are extendable and can have angle adjusted multiple ways, so basically universal.

If you replace anything else, you might as well change all the internals at once with a set

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, but I’m not expecting you clarifying to help

Years ago they tried to pass a minimum amount of time you had to hold a stock before selling…

It was a fraction of a second and neoliberals and Republicans immediately united to tell everyone how antithetical to America that was.

For some reason, that wasn’t enough to show people that both groups have the same priorities and we can’t fight an oligarchy with fucking oligarchs.

We’ll never win if only a handful of politicians are actually on our side.

But it’s almost impossible to compete against dark money in a primary, and the people running the DNC know that. So they’ll never agree to get dark money out of primaries. It’s the only reason they’re still holding back progressives.

Why that would be huge:

It would incentize the rich to hold stocks long term, this would lead to corporations thinking more than what profits are in 3 months.

Which translates to greater stability for other investors and job security for the people who work there.

But it’s never going to happen as long as Smaug Pelosi and people like her who’s main priority is personal wealth is running the Dem party. Because we all know Republicans will never support it.

But if we don’t purge the Dem party of neo liberals, and fast, we’re all fucked. We can’t keep walking down the path of “the rich always get richer” like nothing is wrong.

Wealth is finite. And without taxes and regulations the people who already have a lot will always accumulate more faster than they can spend it.

With them hoarding all that wealth, no one else has any.

I think it’s safe to say 1/3 will support the aliens, 1/3 will hate them, and 1/3 will just ignore the problem.

It feels like whatever the issue is, that’s the split.

but some folks I put tags on just to see where they pop up.

So years ago on /buyitforlife, someone posted those super cheap work gloves that you’d legit got thru a pair before and after lunch. That’s why they never sold single pairs and you had to buy like a 10 pack.

Dude gets roasted in the comments, but I RES tagged him “ole softhands” and for years after I’d just randomly see the account somewhere and genuinely laugh out loud.

I don’t know why people want to have the same arguments with the same people, over and over again knowing it’ll never be productive.

For them social media is just a pvp arguing arena.

I don’t have the energy for that, if someone just doesn’t get something after 3-5 replies I stop replying, if it keeps happening elsewhere or they act like a dick, I just block them.

Why waste your time on something that you know is only going to fail and likely cause yourself aggravation?

Tradition…

It’s another one of those things where we’re not going to codify it because Republicans want it as a pocket ace, and moderates control party policy and they just have a phobia of admitting anything actually needs fixed, let alone fixing it.

But the electors in a lot of states can do what they want

32 states + DC are legally required to vote for the party that nominated them as electors tho.

So some are “locked in”, the rest can pretty much do what they want. I know some states are on an “interstate compact” where once they get enough states it triggers them having to vote for the national popular vote winner.

But I’m not sure what the overlap is with the ones who already have the requirement to vote for the party that appointed them or how that will shake out.

Make posts to them…

Lots of people browse by /all and /new because of lack of content.

Which means it’s relatively easy to get a sub to catch on

But you need to actually make posts so people see them. Try to space it out tho, 15 posts in 15 minutes will just get people to block it due to spam. A couple spaced out thru a day tho will start getting more interaction, go for quality not quantity and hope eventually other users start submitting stuff for the quantity part.

Citric acid can be used as a cleaner and fruit used to be an important ingredient for cleaning agents.

They switched from fruits to fungus because it’s cheaper, and added the smell consumers were used.

So even generations later, it’ll smell like citrus because that’s what everyone is still used to

The craziest part is stats isn’t even complicated.

We could teach it to 6th graders and they’d do fine, same with logic classes.

The point of school isn’t teaching kids to think, it’s teaching them to follow directions, two very different things.

Just look at what we teach them.

That wasn’t success for them, it was almost their deathknell.

If Obama had appointed progressive leadership in 2008 shit would be a lot different and Bernie would likely be leaving his second term right now.

The people running the DNC retain power when a moderate Dem wins because they’ll stay the course and appoint the same DNC leadership.

They retain power when a republican wins because they vote for their own leadership then.

The literal only way they can lose is if a progressive becomes president and doesn’t decide to ignore the DNC like Obama did.

That’s why they’d rather have trump than someone that wants to ban fracking.

The DNC isn’t fighting fascism, it’s just the left boot.

By that same logic…

People could ask why Kamala insisted on doubling down on support of a genocide knowing it was seriously hurting her chances to stop trump.

If voters always have to compromise and politicians can do what they want with no consequences…

That’s how Republicans got stuck with trump.

Not having standards is not an effective way to fight fascism, especially when the alternative you’re holding your nose for won’t actually try to get rid of fascists because the only other option being fascist is the only reason they can win (sometimes).

But WHY??

Because Dem voters have always needed something to vote for, voting against works for Republicans.

But there’s significant brain differences between the two groups, what’s effective for one isn’t for the other

The problem is the “moderates” running the DNC think like Republicans, and part of that is a reduction in empathy that prevents them from understanding others think differently. They legitimately have no idea what went wrong right now, their brains can’t comprehend another person’s point of view.

So we’ve got two political parties ran by conservatives, it’s just only one actually understands how their voters think. So they keep winning even with trump.

We could have ran a candidate who’s policy positions aligned with the Dem voter base…

Call me crazy, but I think that would have resulted in more Dema voting.

The entire point of a political campaign is to motivate voters to vote for the candidate…

If not enough people voted, then it’s the fault of the campaign/candidate.

Like imagine if you sold cars, you could blame not selling on potential customers not wanting to buy a car, but your manager isn’t going to listen when the other guy can still sell cars despite being a giant piece of shit.

You’ll be called a bad salesperson.

And if you don’t improve in almost a decade, it would be crazy to keep paying you to not sell cars.

Yeah, exit polling is literally asking people as they walk out of the polls

This could also just simply boil down to why do we trust polls so much anyways

Statistical analysis is a science.

The problem is it’s not taught in k-12 and most never learn it in college

So people don’t understand it, media represents it however they’ll get the most clicks/views.

The problem with polling isn’t polling, it’s the media’s and viewers’ misinterpreting the results that’s the problem

Not really.

There’s have to be a population where a large amount not only voted that way, but when they voted that way it was statistically different.

Like, there may very well be something where a population like women voted differently by mail because their husbands watch.

But in my state someone is allowed to “help” so the couple in front of me the man voted, then went to the woman’s booth and “helped” her.

All while outside the cops talked to a screaming red hatter who apparently had to turn his trump shirt inside out and when he did poll workers say the multiple hand guns in his waistband.

Don’t worry tho, the poll workers let him skip the line and vote while the cops showed up and talked to him for 2 minutes before letting him drive off.

So before you think of what shady shit may happen with mail in, you need to realize plenty of shady shit happens day of too.

No, because a Utopia is a Utopia for everyone or it’s not a Utopia.

We just started skipping the step where we pick a candidate people want to vote for, and jump straight to fundraising and then never get around to focusing on using the money to get votes.

The modern DNC literally only cares about money and it keeps letting trump get elected
