What does redistricting have to do with a Senate seat?

my cat came from a hoarder and the shelter said she might not be very well socialized because there were so many cats that they wouldn’t have gotten much human attention, but she literally never stops meowing

He’s effective at ruining everything in Florida, where he has Reublican supermajorities in the legislature to back him up. I’m not convinced he’s actually an effective politician like McConnell.

what exactly do people who spam VOTE on every article about polls think they’re contributing

the Florida state constitution requires a statewide vote to approve an amendment with 60% of the vote. If they couldn’t get a governor elected they couldn’t amend the constitution either.

Biden’s approval rating with democrats is about the same as Obama’s was in 2011. All holding a primary would do is weaken their position in the general election. I can’t tell if this is a deliberate propaganda campaign or people are actually this clueless and think incumbent presidents regularly compete in primaries.

That’s what I mean though, why would a new user be running alpine as a desktop os?

if a new user is using a distro that doesn’t use systemd they fell for a meme

I know, but it would be a really bad choice for an incumbent president not to run given that they pretty much always have an advantage

It’s wild that people act shocked that the Democratic party is backing an incumbent president tbh

The study you quoted isn’t the same thing. It would be more like comparing “people of color” with “coloreds”. And to your point about how tall people aren’t marginalized, that’s kind of my point. “Colored people” is offensive because it’s been used derogatorily for so long, not because of the word order. That same wikipedia article points out that there are several marginalized groups that reject people first language. It mentions Deaf and autistic people, but anecdotally I’ve never seen anyone take offense to “gay people” or “trans people” either. It’s just the specific history of the adjective “colored” being applied to people that makes the difference.

That’s just how adjectives work in English. Would the equivalent be fine in French since “people” comes before “colored”? I’m pretty sure the actual reason “people of color” is preferred is that it signals that you’re trying not to be racist, not because of some inherent property of the word order.

This is honestly ridiculous logic. That’s how adjectives work. Calling someone a tall person isn’t dehumanizing them.

I don’t think they’re lying, but them blaming him does help Manchin, and Manchin is the only chance Democrats have in West Virginia. For example, Manchin is to blame for concessions in the infrastructure bill, but Trump won West Virginia with 69% of the vote. The alternative to Manchin wouldn’t be a liberal who would pass an infrastructure bill with a greater commitment to green energy, it would be a far right senator who wouldn’t pass an infrastructure bill at all. Manchin is an net positive at the moment for Biden’s agenda, and progressives being so angry at him means he can campaign on not bowing to the far left agenda or whatever. Ideally there would be enough Democratic senators that Manchin wouldn’t matter, but anyone saying he should be primaried is honestly just delusional about who can get elected in West Virginia.

I’m pretty sure blaming Manchin must be electoral strategy. He’s much more conservative than the average Democrat, but he’s still by far the most liberal senator that’s ever going to get elected in West Virginia, and the blame lets him campaign in a deep red state about how he owned the libs.

Trump honestly barely got anything done during his presidency, most of his executive orders were struck down. What he did get done (Supreme Court justices and tax cuts) was just what literally any Republican with a majority in Congress would have done. Biden has gotten more actual legislation passed than Trump did, and his attempt to legislate by executive order (student loan forgiveness) was as ineffective as Trump’s attempts.

maybe, but there’s no way there isn’t a huge overlap between them

like i’m supposed to believe that the majority of people who liked AOC in 2020 supported Bernie in the primary, and now the majority of people who like AOC are saying Biden is too old, but these are totally separate groups of people with barely any overlap

it’s really funny how much progressives complain about biden’s age when the guy they supported in the 2020 primary is a year older than him
