I’ve been telling myself that those of us with retirement savings will be fine. I actually think the market will thrive. Isn’t that’s the true goal of the republican party? But the people living paycheck to paycheck without any form of savings or investments, who happen to be the ones that voted him back into office, are screwed.

At least that’s what I’m telling myself.

Sure but I don’t think we’ve ever had a candidate with so many former hand picked aids warn us about the end of democracy if he’s reelected.

Don’t pay them any mind. Theyre just random people on the internet. I’ve found lemmy to be a pretty hostle place for questions asked in good faith. I did figure out the answer though. So he’s only giving people in a specific state the ability to enter into his little raffle. I’m not eligible because I’m not a registered voter in a swing state. This is why it’s a federal crime.

Not dumb. It’s a legitimate question if we’re talking legality.

Preachers kid who also turned out to be queer. I was terrified of getting spanked. Years of my parents telling me my ass was part of my private area and no one should ever touch it then my father pulling my underwear down and spanking me seriously fucked me up.

I feel seen.

I’d argue this isn’t any celebrity though. Say what you will about Taylor and her music but she has successfully marketed herself as a wholesome role model for younger generations who has ran a nearly 20 year career scandal free. To them she represents more than celebrity fame. She’s a movement and if she says vote they will vote.

Exactly this. If she turns on Isreal she will lose the election. I think it’s realistic to think that she will have more criticisms on Isreal after she is elected. She’s not a Zionist like Biden.

You’re not wrong. It all sucks. But this is the reality we live in. Life is about choosing the best choices out of the options given to us and very rarely are any of those choices exactly what we want.

Welcome to the US where everything is politicized. You’re right it shouldn’t matter but he comes from a political party that shames any form of sex outside of a married man and woman. They’re already trying to make porn illigal but many of them, including my parents, would make masturbation illegal too if they could.

Yeah, I’ve really been surprised by the amount of negative press on Trump. He seems like himself to me.

The word won’t lose it’s meaning if Democrats refuse to use it so why not flip the script and use it to call out their own bigotry? The more both sides use it the more it loses it’s power but I’d much rather see the word be applied to hateful opinions that can be changed than someone’s core identity that can not be changed.

Paralives is still going strong! It’s looking like it will be strong enough of a competitor to actually influence future sims developments.

I have. :(

You guys really need to work on reading comprehension. I never advocated for anything. All I said is that is if Israel believes their response to October 7th is fair, then it’s only fair that the same is done to them in return. That is the world they want to live in. I personally would never retaliate but my comment was not about how I would handle the situation so please don’t assume you know how I wish things to play out.

No idea how you jumped to that conclusion but okay.

So sick of hearing how bad October 7th was. We fucking get it by now. It changes nothing. Israel has proven itself to be far worse. If Israel believes escalation is the answer I’ll be more than satisfied to see them take that seriously and allow Gaza to bomb Israel for the next four months, systematic rape torture and execute the Israeli men women and children. After all this is their idea of justice so let them experience justice.

Edit: You guys really need to work on reading comprehension.

For once in my life I hope republicans do filibuster. It’s a win win in my eyes.
