They’re only rhetorical problems. When it comes to taking steps to address them, anyone affected needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Could anyone explain the significance of the flipped ATV and mannequin legs sticking up in front of the flag? The message is lost on me.

It’s a reference to a very old internet shock image called goatse, which showed a man’s anus stretched open.

Definitely what a stand up person would do when discovering a child rape ring, of course. Wouldn’t want to be rude and take it to the police.

These two things definitely seem equivalent 👍

I guess you should have put in more work in the PA primary, then.

Would you enjoy Dr Oz more?

Hope it does wonders for his circulatory system.

Yeah, that’s why I asked. I didn’t want to assume

Yep, did they not call a piece of paper you could copy off of during a test a crib sheet where you went to school? Or has that fallen out of use?

Since context wasn’t clear, I meant for mayor of NYC, lol

Cuomo tried to win the primary as a Democratic candidate but couldn’t, so in most other states he wouldn’t be allowed to run in the same election under a different party. But NY has no such law, so he’s allowed to run as an independent in the same election.

Reminder that this wouldn’t be happening if New York wasn’t one of the few states without ‘sore loser’ laws to prevent this exact scenario.

Come on, New York, elect someone cool for once.

If ifs and buts were candies and nuts we’d all have a merry Christmas. We can only work in the reality we have, not the one we want. As long as voters are married to the idea that the only meaningful opposition to Republicans is the Democratic Party, then that’s what we’re stuck with.

I think it’s far more viable to introduce ranked choice voting (which would allow for electing a third party while ensuring voters aren’t ’throwing away their vote’ if the third party doesn’t win) than it would be to convince the vast majority of Democratic voters to abandon the party and vote for a party that has won no elections. Maybe that would have worked a century ago when there were more parties and people were more used to the idea of living outside a two party system.

If Sanders made a third party nobody would ever shut the fuck up about stealing votes from Democrats and putting Republicans in power forever.

If you’ve never had to convince an elderly family member to give up their keys then I envy you. It’s not actually legal to just take them from them, and officials are often slow to act before anyone has been hurt. Looking at all the signs and movement at a protest is the exact time I’d expect an elderly person who shouldn’t be driving to drift into the crowd due to target fixation. It’s also why I don’t stand near open roads at a protest, way more than the fear of a vehicle attack.

Maybe he’s a lying son of a bitch, but I’d bet there’s at least equal chances he’s just old. Almost 80 is too old to be driving for most people.

I have a trans loved one moving there soon, so this is encouraging to hear. I’m hootin’ and hollerin’ for him to win over here from across the country!

So life is bad enough to need to leave to survive economically, but this isn’t them thinking life is bad there.

I’m not accepting more homework assignments and class reading than I already have, peace if you don’t want to elaborate ✌️

They defected because they don’t think life is bad in the place they were fleeing? Why are they fleeing if they don’t believe life is bad in North Korea?
