I’m reminded of this, though in this game you steal a pretzel.

It was the result of trying to jump onto New Atheism very specifically to get mad at the lady asking people not to proposition her in the elevator.

Something something Marx Gramsci and that’s why we should shut down a suicide hotline for gay kids

This seems that it’s the aggressor’s choice.

Trans Man Advised to Use Women's Restroom Then Beaten Up and Arrested Noah Ruiz, 20, says three men attacked him after he used the women's restroom at a campground in Ohio.

Has it ever occurred to you to look up the consequences of these policies as opposed to just making an assumption?

Both. Whoever it is that’s deciding to be bathroom police at such and such time.

You believe that these sorts of bathroom policies stop people from being attacked in bathrooms?

I can pull up a number of articles and incidents indicating exactly the opposite, where women get mistaken for trans and harassed.

That’s a very simple question given that policies around housing, education, transit, food, and many more are obviously impactful…

But you seem to not be engaging with my questions. Why is this?

08.08.2025 18:56 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

This sounds like a case of β€œyou have to pick one because you can’t have both.”

But this is off topic. How is the above person’s child helped by the UK’s policies?

My proposal seems like it would help their child.

What you have typed here appears to be unconnected to what I said.

Are you talking to yourself?

08.08.2025 18:43 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes.

The government minding its own business rather than playing bathroom police would be a very good start.

Biden wasn’t on the ballot in 2024, for one thing.

Don’t tell me, tell the staffers who thought Sanders didn’t need more than 30%

06.08.2025 21:56 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The thing is that when I ask a specific question I expect a specific answer.

I’m asking you specifically what executive levers you think Sanders is going to have that undo the problems in 2024.

06.08.2025 21:55 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

What specifically do you believe a 2021 Sanders administration would have done differently to the extent that would overcome the global anti-incumbency push?

06.08.2025 21:33 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I think I’m going to reject your premise that Bernie Sanders was simply entitled to the nomination because *waves hands*

06.08.2025 21:28 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

So that’s a yes? You think that the DNC should have just ignored the primary voters in states like SC and Georgia because why bother with the south?

Now I’m flashing back to that Cancel Sam guy on Twitter

are you under the impression that Trump won the 2020 election?

06.08.2025 21:20 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Again, is your position that the DNC should have disregarded the primary voters?

06.08.2025 21:20 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Should they have simply disregarded the actual primary votes in favor of the Sanders camp’s insistence that he could get high turnout in the general election with low-propensity voters?

Did I say anything about not doing anything bad or making mistakes?

I don’t believe so.

It’s clear you’re very passionate about the subject but it’s clouding your ability to think clearly.

Okay so what you should do instead of spitballing is read up on the respective primary strategies of the candidates in that election and then look at the turning points for where they went sideways.

06.08.2025 20:29 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Sanders should have tried to win a majority of the primary voters.

That would have won him the nomination.

06.08.2025 20:23 β€” πŸ‘ 9    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

So did you actually read up or listen to anything on the respective campaigns during 2019 and 2020 or are you just spitballing half a decade later?

06.08.2025 20:19 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

This again begs my question of who you’re responding to.

The Sanders campaign thought they could win the nomination with 30% of the vote by playing a contested convention.

This turned out to not be a winning strategy.

06.08.2025 20:18 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I’m not sure who you’re talking to and what you think you’re replying at.

There was no reason for Buttigieg or Klobuchar to stay in the race when their strategies of early wins and momentum failed to materialize.

The campaign for youth turnout and independent voters ended up not working.
