If Harris was truly going to differentiate herself by opposing Trump's horrific policies on Gaza, she could have (and should have) said so. The DNC and the Harris campaign clearly felt that appealing to the pro-Palestine movement wasn't critical to winning the election. In hindsight, they were very clearly wrong about that.Projecting the 'Harris would be better' fantasy onto events at this late date is childish and completely unsupported by her record as a candidate
EnglishNounvote shaming (uncountable) The practice of shaming people for voting for a particular candidate, or for not voting at all.
Vote shaming doesn't work
(then she's an 11, maybe even 12)
When she's a 10 but she pisses on AirBnB couches
There's just no way America or any other power can successfully pull off an occupation of another country these days
I feel like the instructive example here is the Korean War. At the outset of the war in 1950, Curtis LeMay proposed using the might of the Strategic Air Command to obliterate the five biggest towns in the North; the military high command naturally objected. Of course, over the next three years, those towns were in fact obliterated - and so were the next fifty. By the end, SAC was bombing dams and flooding Pyongyang. The war ended in basically the same state as it had begun, minus a lot of deaths
We could, possibly, accomplish regime 'change'; though the two most recent examples of that (Iraq & Afghanistan) are not encouraging as to the end result of that change. As it has been noted, it took the US 20 years and trillions of dollars to replace the Taliban with the Taliban - and Iraq isn't doing much better.
We're losing the same way we lost in Vietnam - not so much military defeat, although that is also happening, as much as a loss of prestige
Okay, but; I'm about to go on a road trip, and I need those stickers. Source?
Vote shaming doesn't work. Kinda detracts from an otherwise informative post
And multiple iterations of this leads only to bad things; you cannot expect such a process to result in anything else. Neither the system nor the disasters it produces are of my making, and I take no responsibility for them. All I can do is refuse to participate in them.
It's not that simple. It has never been that simple.I could explain it to you, but I cannot understand it for you.
I wish I could upvote this twice!
Imgur is often a liberal circle-jerk, it's true
Vote shaming still doesn't work
Approval voting for me, but I can accept ranked choice
Vote shaming doesn't work now, hasn't worked in the past, and will continue to not work in the future
This is the difference between iterative AI and generative AI (LLMs); the folk pushing LLMs into everything are confusing the two on purpose
Ranked choice is awesome, but adding the votes of uninformed and uninterested people doesn't meaningfully improve the outcome
Vote shaming _still_ doesn't work
I'm always slightly amused when I remember that's from Frank Wilhoit the composer, not Francis/Frank Wilhoit the political scientist/author
They will choose to believe literally anything before they will admit they were wrong
Nothing yet, looks like it was ~3 months ago
Eh, I'm pretty sure the rollout of the OBD-II standard (1994) was the last gasp of carbs in the US
"It's an older code, sir, but it checks out"
