enbyecho, to politics in Biden Says Trump Will Not Accept 2024 Result: ‘I Promise You He Won’t’

You may ask and I may not answer.

But think about what you said. They pursue the voters that vote for them. When most of your voters are older then yeah, you cater to them. But I also think you grossly underestimate how much they DO actually do for younger voters.

Read Jacobin for some perspective.

Because there’s now no viable option for president that will be held accountable for anything by their own party.

Sometimes it may seem this way but it really isn’t. We get some of what we want. The equation is simple: Get some of what you want under a dem administration or most of what you don’t want under a republican administration.

Our system is such that nobody gets 100% of what they want 100% of the time. So what you aim for is to get a party in with a platform that at least allows some of what you want to happen. By throwing up your hands and saying “well the dems are just as bad” and thus not voting you are essentially making it impossible for any of what you want to happen. If Trump wins you can kiss a supreme court majority goodbye. If Trump wins you can look forward to gutting any effort to promote renewables and hold the oil industry accountable. You can look forward to no woman being safe with her medical choices. The list here is enormous.

Meanwhile Biden has accomplished a lot. I don’t like many of his policies, but I’m not blind to the good his administration has done. I think you are, so let me remind you of just a few:

  • OTC birth control pills & EOs on reproductive rights
  • Huge gains in renewable power
  • Loosening cannabis restrictions
  • Student loan forgiveness
  • Big support for domestic semiconductor production
  • Boosting cancer research
  • Huge support for unions and unionization (this is a really big deal!)
  • Transgender support & visibility (e.g. whitehouse.gov/…/a-proclamation-on-transgender-da…)

Take any one of these things and imagine the opposite. That’s what will happen under any republican administration.

You may not like Biden and I totally get that, but NEVER EVER think your vote doesn’t matter just because you don’t get exactly what you want. We got a decent amount and we CAN get more. Get Biden elected and then (a) be politically active for local and state elections; (b) protest: it works.

I learned it in First Grade and nearly everyone I have talked to did as well, and I am in California which is rated as the best state for public education, which puts me technically near the bottom. So unless someone happens to come from a state that is lower than California (10 states in descending order where last is worst: TN, FL, NC, OK, SC, AL, NM, NV, LA, or AZ), then chances are very tiny that they were not taught that basic fact in grade school, which was then repeatedly used in every science class afterwards.

BobGnarley, to health in Colon cancer is killing more younger men and women than ever, new report finds

And then they act shocked at the results lol it’s so frustrating because you know damn well if we can figure out what the problem is as individuals they know for sure about it as well. Like when California was like yupp we’re making Red Dye illegal and then thr FDA is like yeah we’re gonna take another look at that after they let it poison us for 50 years KNOWING it is poison. Shit red dye 40 isnt even the worst but its a huge part of the problem. On top of that, check out some full water quality reports on tap water in the USA.

From French magazine Joystick's July/August & November 1993 issues ( & ): previews of Sam and Max Hit the Road, including an early image of the Gator Golf minigame where the "Swing" and "Quit" buttons appear on tanned alligator hides.

Another page of the Hit the Road preview from Joystick's July/August 1993 issue. One of the screenshots shown is an early WIP version of the Ball of Twine diner interior, scanned directly from the black-and-white background sketch. The central elevator column has been tinted a greenish color, and the wires poking out of the floor have three red, green, and blue wires crudely roughed in (the final game uses two blue and white wires instead). Max is absent, but Sam and the cursor appear in color on top of the grayscale art.
A preview of Sam and Max Hit the Road, from French magazine Joystick's issue , November 1993. One of the screenshots shown is of the Gator Golf minigame. At this stage, the "Swing" and "Quit" buttons were drawn on brown tanned alligator hides. The button text is written in all caps in the default DPaint font, with yellow letters that have a blue border around them.

Palette: Kozan

Is the Turkish city of Kozan near any volcanic sites, or has the palette a different inspiration? Anyway, I see sparks of glowing embers and masses of molten lava in this particular image.

The big, amorphous shape of deep purple appears almost black and takes on an alarmingly monstrous and lively form that seems to float in the air and breath fire at us, threatening our bravado.

Out of 24 hospitals...in the north, only one, Al Ahli in Gaza city, is presently operational & admitting patients. 18 hospitals have shut down & evacuated...including 3 – An Nasr, Ar Rantisi & Al Quds – over the past 3 days."

On simmer, right now, in the deep pot on the stove, the 24#’s of Golden Brandywine tomatoes that I roasted, milled and am now reducing to thick sauce. Add that to the other 120# or so that I’ve done of red tomatoes and the pounds I have yet to harvest (the last of it) from the garden before it snows. My house smells divine!
