The former speaker of the House of Representatives is instead pushing Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) to win the high-ranking role, and is “actively working to tank” AOC’s bid while “making calls” on behalf of Connolly, Punchbowl News reported Thursday.

The report adds that Pelosi’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering displays the sheer “amount of political capital” she’s willing to put into Connolly’s campaign—the verdict of which will be decided next week.

Classes DNC pulling strings to get the results they want.

Remember when Democrats keep repeating the line in how Republicans would just make it worse so remember to vote for them?

More of a regular thing for me than annual. It’s primarily Doctors without Borders and some international charities,mainly for the middle east. A while back my wife and I paid for some wells for some villages in Pakistan.

Rarely. Humans can be very inconsistent due to their inherent biases and emotions. If what you say were true we would have been able to observe it take place by now.

Not many people are pure leftists though. We all have our inherent biases based on things like social class, upbringing, religion, nationality, etc. Just because a consistent framework is there doesn’t mean people just fit so well into it.

Funnily enough my only exposure to D&D was from Baldurs Gate 3. I’ll take it as a compliment though.

Very few people fit neatly into a political label. We tend to be all over the place on political issues.

It’s two separate issues. A single person shouldn’t be able to pour that much money to influence an election. At the same time the justice system should have more teeth against the rich who openly break laws.

Could be a case of them interviewing a lot of people. Keep in mind a lot of people go on vacation this time of year and depending on the company/industry it could also mean this is peak season for them. I wouldn’t look too much into it.

Best of luck, hope you get it.

I agree, it’s a useful feature for certain people. I’m just not a big fan of site admins making the decision for you. It should only be used as a last resort IMO or to protect yourself against illegal content, CP for example. Normalizing defederation between instances can be abused by a small amount of bad faith actors. If you as a person don’t like a certain culture on an instance or community, just block it yourself.

No one is obligated to do anything. The admins run the site and they can moderate how they feel. As a user, I can join their site or another one if I choose to.

My opinion of defederating is that it should only be used as a last resort. Taking a liberal approach to defederation means that a small amount of bad faith actors can completely shut down an instance and make it a pariah on the fediverse.

It doesn’t, except for the ones who like to browse local. And the .world admins have quite a few blocked instances. They seem to be a bit too liberal in defederating to my tastes. I feel as if it runs against the concept of federation itself.

.world is the instance where most new users default to so and it has the highest user base and that includes a lot of trolls or just bad faith actors. Also, a lot of .world is based from reddit users who left and they brought that kind of mindset along. Some people don’t like that either.

Because the rich control an overwhelming amount of the media we consume. They are capable of shaping the narrative to their benefit.

My PC has a secondary HDD that has my files. Movies, books, comics, TV shows, random stuff, etc. It’s more or less organized in their own folders.

Are you asking how to use them or how it functions?

OP said MAGA, not POTUS.

I use the stair machine regularly after a workout. Not all the time, but often. It’s very exhausting. I have a fitness watch and my heart rate is in the 170s for the majority of it.

I find it really helped my leg muscles develop better. Especially my thighs and the muscles connecting to the knee.

So Democrats won with people who were invested in keeping Trump away from Presidency and failed virtually every other demographic?

Whoever you want to be part of your family.
