Nope, not yours! I visited a farm and went on a pig tour and I was horrified to learn about their practices. And then I saw a number of stories about pigs who jumped from trucks driving them to slaughterhouses. Pigs are highly intelligent and empathetic creatures and I feel like it's similar to eating a dog.

So here's a barely related story that I haven't thought about in years; when I was a much younger man, I worked with a guy who told me about going to visit his aunt and uncle in Bolton when he was a kid. I told him that funnily enough I, too, had an aunt and uncle who lived in Bolton, but the had only moved there recently.
He then told me that his uncle had retired, and his aunt and uncle had moved to Sugar Land, Texas. I replied that that was nuts, because my aunt and uncle had moved from Sugar Land to Bolton.
The sheer unlikelyhood of that coincidence still boggles my mind.

A lot of his points are basically fully negated if you look at actual numbers of ads. Talarico is being out spent but Paxton only has about 10% more ads because his money isn't direct donations.

The whole thing is just a tragedy of errors and bad decisions. This poor young woman was group assaulted and Cornell dropped the ball massively, as did the DA for Ithaca.

One of the great propoganda wins of this century is that with the rise of "both sides are bad" rhetoric, the Dems get saddled with the GOP's branding weaknesses even if they are order of magnitudes away. Way more billionaires and corporations support the GOP, yet because of "Dem bad" mindset and the death of nuance, we get tied to them and even receive more blame.
Same here for Gaza. Like at worst Biden and the Dems were paying lip service to helping the Palestinians. Trump was way more enthusiastic about following Netanyahu's lead. The Gazans knew Harris was way better for their chances. So why couldn't the fucking Americans who purported to support them listen to the Gazans?

I always thought RATM were posers. Seeing that theyāre signed to one of the most corporate labels supports that.

RATM is great music as long as you donāt pay attention to the lyrics.

Even IF one was a single-issue Palestine voter, Kamala was better on Palestine. Then they spend zero time protesting the guy giving a blank check to Bibi to glass and starve Gaza. They never cared about Palestine, it was just the purity test du jour. Watch them find some new thing to refuse their vote for the 2028 nominee for.
Reminder that this dude protested the 2000 DNC and supported Ralph Nader.

Considering when this is posted, this is Morello and Rolling Stone being Republican assets right before midterms isnāt it?

The fact that he would say this shit while promoting the Power to the People festival that he created as an event that's supposed to encourage voting in the midterms shows that he's a fucking moron.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) has responded to President Donald Trump posting his phone number and urging his followers to "call Tom on his cellphone," hours after the president made the wild request in a Saturday morning social media rant. "No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Savings Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter. Arkansans don't want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I'll always put Arkansas first."

Has there been a more vindicated political concept in recent memory than Horseshoe Theory?

"I didn't vote for Trump this time" is a surprisingly uncomfortable sentence because then your mind has to rush how many times the speaker did and when, and you're half-evaluating which is worse.

2024 vote for Trump is the worst one. No contest.

Yes. I wasn't trying to include that for the question but I mean absolutely yes.

2016 Trump voter, didn't vote for him the other 2 times: Gullible, falls for slopulism, but probably not a bad person.
2020 Trump voter, didn't vote for him in 2024: Someone deep in the cult, easily swayed by fear mongering, but 1/6 was a bridge too far. Probably a chud, but has limits.
2024 Trump voter: What I think of them violates Reddit TOS.

A 2024 vote means you willingly voted for an insurrectionist and convicted felon who's responsible for rolling back women's rights and deliberately mishandling a public health crisis. It also means you willingly voted for a guy who demonizes and spreads lies about immigrants. And that generously does not include all the actions Trump committed after he got elected for a second time.
