This reminds me of the current French politics. After the previous legislative elections were won by the left, neoliberal president Macron nonetheless appointed a conservative as his prime minister.
At the end of the day, it’s all about the bottomline.
While my parents aren’t bad, they’re just products of their environment that doesn’t teach or encourage critical thinking and being honest to one’s self. They are also bad with communication. They don’t have an iota of self-reflection or even if they do, they do not even attempt to change. But even if they change, it’s too late. My parents said and taught me a lot of things when I was growing up, which in hindsight doesn’t make sense and negatively affected my formative years.
My parents said they’ll be happy to take care of any of my future children; but I gave a disgusted no face and I reckon my parents did not even get the hint.
I mean historically Filipinos who migrated to the United States were also one of the wide users of marijuana along with Hispanics. And among those communities, the cannabis/marijuana did not have had any negative connotation until the war on drugs.
Yup. Marijuana has always had widespread use by those from formerly Spanish-colonised cultures which are Hispanics and Filipinos.
I didn’t even know Mastodon has an exclusive club streak lol.
If she gets a moderate Republican (Liz Cheney for example) then it’s not an issue.
Franklin Roosevelt appointed a Republican as secretary of navy. Granted, back then the Democrat/Republican divide wasn’t as polarised as today. But if Harris could appoint a moderate Republican and willing to work with Democrats, then that just might work and soothe the current political polarisation.
Not to mention teaching is a thankless job.
And here I am having been accused before of “bothside-ism” when I said politicians flip flop-- on party or policy wise. Democrats do it but Republicans do it more. It seems that Lemmy forgot about John Fetterman and Tulsi Gabbard. But I don’t know, maybe because I came from a corrupt country and not surprised of any backstabbing and flip flopping. Maybe it is biased in favour of Democrats that some Lemmy users have ideological blindspot; or maybe it’s a first world problem when people can’t believe politicians turn.
To catch a thief, you must set another thief to catch him.
To catch a pedophile-
That’s good, you just googled about John Fetterman.
You know politicians flip flop, don’t be naive (or biased).
That’s all politicians in a nutshell. Though opportunism seems more common among the right.
You mean to tell me that climate change isn’t already a humanitarian case?
I remember when the news came out on the radio. The school reported to parents what their kids have been up to.
Ireland has attracted many tech companies including Twitter, and the latter has a massive employment footprint here.
Yeah, I am honestly impressed how she shut down the pro-Palestine supporters. Don’t get me wrong, I support Palestine, but people have a point that this single-issue agenda is short-sighted and will undo democracy-- not just in America but also across the world. Trump winning means Ukraine will get fewer support and Putin and other illiberal leaders will win.
I just hope though that Kamala is much more assertive against Netanyahu than Biden. I feel like behind the scenes, Biden kowtows to Bibi.
Well, child mortality rate was really high before modern medicine. No wonder many cultures exalt the process of birth.
My experience living with conservative folks is that the explanation might work.
Is it just me, or I thought it’s a general consensus long ago that voters have the memory of a goldfish? Why would forgetting the worst of the Trump presidency be any different? Even people have somehow rehabilitated George W. Bush in spite of deliberate lying by his administration, and dragging the United States into a needless conflict for 23 years that cost $1 trillion.
