I mean, kinda yeah?

Why does that sound like the voice of experience?

From the article I linked with the item in the context of other finds at the same site…

Evidently it really was probably a cucumber? http://artisticlicenseorwhyitrustnoone.blogspot.com/2022/11/bullshit-memes-8-ancient-egyptian.html?m=1

tl;dr - was found with other model food, probably meant to sustain someone in the afterlife

Or people without any media literacy are more likely to vote for conservatives…

That’s because the President can’t ban it if they wanted to. From this very article:

While there are several ways Harris, if elected president, could halt fracking on federal lands using executive power, she wouldn’t be able to unilaterally ban it on private land. Under a 2005 law, the Environmental Protection Agency has almost no regulatory power over fracking. Changing that would require an act of Congress.

“…The Economist reported 462,000 and 728,000 Russian soldiers were out of action by mid-June”

Now that’s both killed and wounded, and based on analysis of leaked docs from US DoD. How much is any of it true? Probably will know in 50 years or so, but whatever the exact number is, it’s likely more than they’ve lost in all military actions combined since WWII.

I don’t disagree with any of that, but again that context wasn’t obvious in your original post.

Also, those anti-democratic tendencies are inherent in all large organizations. And yes, it takes constant pressure to limit it, but that pressure needs to have a laser-like focus to be effective - otherwise bureaucracy and inertia win. That said, I’ve been involved in politics for almost 40 years, and the cliquish, insular, shambling monstrosity of the DNC is a mess - but it’s still actually better run and more open than any nationwide Democratic or GOP political committee in this country’s history. I mean the bar is on the floor in that regards, but progress and success are possible if done smartly.

That all would have been excellent context to add from the beginning and would have been the argument or call to action that would have made the post make sense no matter when it was originally posted. Without it, as can be seen in all the communities you posted this to, you just generated confusion and animosity.

Then help me understand - how do you feel that sharing this without the correct context was constructive?

But the statement from the BLM was about the Democratic Party, thus making that the point of the discussion. If you don’t care about the Democratic Party, why do you care about their nomination process?

And this is by no means an accusation, but that wall of text was so tangential to the whole thread that it reads like ChatGPT helped you write it. Trust your own words.

On the ballot in like 14 states? Yeah, I would say her chances are…low. Would be far more impressed if instead of running for President with no chance to win, she ran for a state legislature seat, hell even county board. Encourage others to do the same. You don’t build a coalition or party by just running for President with no experience or support. So she’s either grandstanding, a useful idiot, or so hopelessly uninformed that she’s got no idea what she’s doing. We need better third parties and you don’t do that by trying to “raise awareness” every four years, you do that by running and winning smaller races until they can’t ignore you anymore.
