Prediction: We're going to see a huge influx of Brett Cooper style fake streamers with sets looking like a TGI Fridays but repping Blue.

 @mikebishop6707 It's not their fault. Inspect turnout charted against income level. The system is designed to ensure they do not turn out.

@bigsundays9058 The Japanese were in the process of attempting to negotiate a surrender when they were dropped. However, the US knew that negotiating a surrender would allow the Russians to get a foothold in the island since: a) a negotiated surrender would be mediated by them or b) the Russians would move their troops in to end the war.

@bigsundays9058 The Cairo declaration was non-binding. It was allowed to be violated and indeed had already been violated multiple times. It was simply a statement of general intent.

@sophieisyerin Yes. Meets the criteria: Unfair prosecution, non-violent offense, individual likely to experience excessive harm if punished, unlikely to reoffend, has already paid restitution. That's reasonable.

It's a reasonable pardon.

@tomkapa Saying that implies that other people suggested you should. You then explicitly state the implication in your next comment. No one suggested doing this. Stop pretending you're speaking out against something anyone ever suggested.

No you are wrong and you are not telling the truth about Joe Rogan's ridiculous denialism. Joe repeatedly denounced the usefulness of masks and suggested multiple times that they were not necessary. He has spread disinformation about COVID including repeatedly downplaying it's seriousness, claiming that COVID death numbers were overinflated, and suggesting that dangerous activities were not dangerous. He has spent months suggesting that lockdowns were either arbitrary and unnecessary, or motivated by corruption. He has parroting extremist conspiracy theories and engaged in smear campaigns against the public officials responsible for crafting responsible COVID policy, often sharing fabricated information while concealing the real details behind these stories. Lockdown policies in cities like NYC and the designation of essential and non-essential work has generally followed the best advice of the most qualified experts. No one has ever claimed that every decision would be perfect, but they have general been in line with the science. No one is denying that the economic impact of these policies have been severe. Nor is anyone denying that middle class and poor people have been hit harder than rich powerful corporations. But this has nothing to do with COVID or the lockdowns. This is simply how America runs. Any costly crisis will always impact poorer people worse. If Joe has a problem with this, he can feel free to spend all day shouting about progressive wealth redistribution, or transferring more wealth to these struggling businesses. But you and him need to absolutely shut up about questioning the lockdown policies. The only people who should be talking about that are the epidemiologists. No, this is not a man worried for small businesses. This is a disconnected rich a-hole who is tired of the mild inconvenience COVID has caused in his life, calling for a culling of the poor and weak so that he can go back to his regular routine. And let's be clear: this bullshit has had an effect. Johns Hopkins just released a study indicating a direct correlation between Governor party affiliation and COVID impact. Spread of this disinformation has facilitated a politicization of COVID restrictions that has resulted in higher infection & COVID death rates in Republican governed states vs democratic ones in spite of the fact that democratic states were hit first, hit harder, and by virtue of their population density at greater risk for pandemic spread. Yes, Joe's bullshit is getting people killed. Between the amount of his friends who've actively been infected and infected others (Shaub, Musk, Callen, etc.) and the constant propaganda these guys are almost certainly responsible for people dying.

@nikolademitri731 It's the equivalent to the white saying "just fell off the back of a turnip truck." If she delivered the anecdote identically, but said this, no one would care. The meme's popularity reminds us how incredibly effective thinly veiled xenophobic swipes on Harris would be in hurting her campaign. The fact that it's even ok to say coconutpilled signals that America is still very comfortable with & receptive to indirect 'ism. It's why Obama exaggerated his folksy syntax.

@tomkapa You're asking 2 separate questions: 1) Why is it time for a female candidate? 2) Why Harris specifically? 1) I'd say it's past time. The regression of half our government to an anti women platform is facilitating a general rollback of democratic values. A re-centering of these issues is needed and a female candidate would signal a strong commitment to this, galvanize support, and may have a fresh perspective on old issues. 2) I'm not sure that it should be Harris specifically, but one cannot deny her positional advantage in being able to quickly pivot to presidential campaign and her ability to leverage the accomplishments of the previous administration.

Lonerbox introduced me to BeaceBrocess who is an awesome Palestinian creator. This is disappointing. Unsubscribing from LB.

@tomkapa I did. And I agree. It's definitely time. I also agree that the candidate should be the best. These are not mutually exclusive ideas. Why are you pretending they are?

 @tomkapa I don't think anyone suggested that. Stop being weird.

@refugeehugsforfree4151 No you are incorrect. You have a duty to society and yourself. This is the basis of: a) all morality b) the social contact that underpins all human civilization c) the Constitution and charter documents of virtually every country on the planet as well as the UN. By choosing to partake in the benefits of a political state you have agreed to subordinate some of your freedom to the collective. No one is stopping you from hopping on a little boat and sailing off to any one of the thousands of small unclaimed islands all over the world and establishing your own selfish little state. You probably forgot all of this because most polite people don't talk about it daily. Y'know, since most of us have the common decency to simply accept the mild inconvenience of putting a napkin against their mouths to save the lives of thousands of their fellow human beings. But if your dumb-ass is that self absorbed, then have some backbone for once in your life and live up to your shameful childish principals. Either go establish your pathetic empire of one abroad or grow up and discard this childish exceptionalism.

Initial exit polling indictes that the vast majority of people made up their minds before she even started campaigning. The campaign wasnt the jssue.

@bigsundays9058 "It was very clearly the intent of the allied forces" Sure. A vague and non-binding intent subject to change by any country unilaterally without advance notice subject to whatever was more convenient. So this was not realistically a barrier to the US if it decided to negotiate for peace. Thus it can't reasonably be argued today that this declaration thus compelled the US to discard a negotiated surrender. "Japan's likelihood of winning was non-existent so they were in no place to negotiate a surrender" Most negotiated surrenders have occurred in the context of one side having zero chance of winning. The idea is that if the cost of the negotiated concessions are reasonably within range of the cost of winning outright, then there is room to negotiate even if one side has no chance of winning. "Chance of Russia mediating a surrender were gone after they declared war following Hiroshima & Nagasaki" Yes. Of course. That's why the US decision was unnecessary and unethical. They eliminated the possibility of a negotiated peace in favor of using this instrument against a civilian pop in order to push Russia out of the region. Not to end the war. Had they either: a) Supported the Russian effort to negotiate peace or b) Supported the Russian ground invasion They could have ended the war with favorable terms while supporting the establishment of a peace promoting international order of law & cooperation. Instead they started the next war before the current one was even finished. And let's be clear: In the following 3 years, the US threatened to use this same tool against the Russians 3 times in order to coerce various concessions from them. These threats would not have been credible without their having already established their willingness and propensity to use this tool unnecessarily. This is one of the reasons the Russians developed their tools so quickly. It was an absolute necessity given their reckless counterparty.

@tomkapa No. It just means it's time. Don't put your words in his comment.

Exit polls indicate 80% of people made their decision before she even started campaigning. The campaign wasn't the issue.
