I see “Maple sugar and maple syrup” on the list. That will show Canada who is boss.

Seriously though, I’d imagine an extra 25% cost on US food goods will lead to them being sourced somewhere else rather than pay that.

yeah I dont agree with many things in your comment, but I dont think you’re open to any legit conversation on the matter, and I’m not interested in a slapfight. You go try to have yourself a nice day, centrist.

ah right, its not that genocide is wrong in all cases, its that the dumb left was the victim of propoganda, which you are clearly too smart to be influenced by. Which is why you voted for genocide.

Makes perfect sense.

If only the dumb left had voted for genocide, Biden the hyper zionist would have been reelected and he for sure would have stopped the genocide, right?

And then you go on to say:

stop trying to be world police

How is funding a genocide “being the police”? oh… wait I see. You mean the US police go around doing crimes with impunity and no accountability. OK, you’re right on that one.

I have to forfeit. just went to 3 stores, no eggs to be had till wednesday I heard. I guess you win, and you get all my leftover eggs.

When is it “neccessary” to poach an egg instead of hard boil? I guess the 70s was a strange time. It was half a century ago and no one had computers or cell phones back then. I think people sat around and played monopoly.

One bottle a day per person. Boooo. Maybe get the double sized bottle then. The cheap ones they sell at the drugstore. And drinking wine and coffee in the same meal, nice. Maybe mix them together. It says chablis only, a regional subset of chardonays. Seems a little bit strict-- I again blame the 70s.

OK damnit, I’m in with you OP. First one to -5 pounds (or death) wins. Shall we bet?

And what lesson would that be?

I’ll humor you, although I’m surprised you’ve not heard this yet:

What Dem leadership should have learned:

• Have to get back to operating from a platform, not vibes or cult of personality.
• No more genocide. Get back to leading from principle rather than realpolitik. Explicitely ditch the far right zionists-- we can make money elsewhere, and we are not a far right party.
• Be the party of the people. Lower and middle class votes are needed to win. Get back to expanding social programs.
• Stop insulting people. We don’t “go high when they go low”, we kick their ass wherever they are, but we don’t insult voters, and we also dont self-censor for comity’s sake.
• To move fwd and reunite the coalition that is the Dem party, we have to acknowledge that the party hasnt been doing what the people want, and was also engaging in a genocide. No more weasel words around that. Lets get it over with.
• Act like the party is a coalition, not a centrally controlled imperium. Stop kicking the left in the face.
• Dont look for votes form the right.
• Dont lionize bipartisanship as a goal unto itself.
• Create metrics for success and be accountable for them.
• Publish a long term plan for the party, and candidates who wont adhere to it shouldnt be in the party.
• Kick out the right wingers. When we get Bidens/Manchins/Liebermans not towing the line, remove them from their committees and dont fund their re-elections. No dems should be against the platform like Biden did for ~40 years being anti abortion. He should have been kicked to the curb decades ago.
• No more “seniority” in congressional leadership appointments. Go by merit and votes of the constituents.
• term limits for leadership appointments.
• A code of ethics. For starters, dems shouldnt ever be trading stocks the legislate on. It soils the image of the whole party when individuals are corrupt, and that needs to stop. Pelosi needs to go for her decades of insider trading. That never should have been permitted.
• Set a mandatory retirement age for Dems. 70 sounds reasonable. If you are a judge you leave after 70 as soon as a dem administration can appoint your successor. No more waiting for death/incapacity and hurting your party when you go out that way. Lets get these people thinking of the party over their own arrogance. It took everyone way too lont to admit Biden was not fit to run again. That was BS. Party members should have been able to question his competence earlier.
• No more telling states they cant vote in the primary like the dnc did with new hampshire.
• no more shenanigans during primaries like Hillary did with Bernie… They should be fair votes. No more effing superdelegates.
• no more locking constituents out of the convention. The DNC doesnt get to censure voters requests. Those corrupt sons of bitches need to admit they work for us.

yep still an anarchist

The world judges who you are based on your actions, not what you’d prefer to be called.

Watching you comment, I despair that dems didnt learn a damned thing from this election loss.

The party with the best option to beat trump is still walking around with no future because it has its head up its own arse. They cant admit that abandoning the working class and embracing zionist murder for some campaign cash is going to keep them from winning in the future. And Hasbara is still paying its trolls, clearly.

What makes you think bots left? They are probably low cost to run once theyve been set up. By bots maybe you mean the opinions you dont like dont post as much? Yeah everyone feels defeated and hopeless. Most of my friends wont read the news anymore. I dont blame them.

Oh?
So you’re ready to disavow Bidens support for zionists and agree that it was and is wrong, and that we cant support anyone who does that anymore?

Welcome to the new democratic party, brother. Grab a shovel, theres a lot of corrupt DNC trash to haul to the curb for garbage collection.

UN resolutions don’t mean jack anyway

UN resolutions created the state of Israel.

Age took him. You are pretending to want something you cant have, cranakis. biden was practically drooling into the camera in the last year of his term, and was ‘sundowning’ hard. He wont live another 4 years, much less be able to perform any job.

Cranakis,

https://www.axios.com/2024/05/13/us-presidents-red-lines-israel

Eisenhauer, GHW Bush, and Reagan all stopped Israel’s zionist violence dead cold with phone calls, in pretty much this exact same situation. Its well established history that you either aren’t aware of or wont acknowledge-- neither possibility reflecting well on you.

you shouldnt start calling people “sweetie” or this devolves into a slapfight.
That what you want? To shut conversation down? And for an “anarchist” you sure are bending over to DNC corporatist hierarchy. Little bit suspicious.

Maybe he is someone who saw this last loss coming and sees further losses coming unless the dems can start doing the right thing again and adopting an actual effing platform that people will vote for. Remember doing the right thing? When did you abandon the idea of pressuring our leaders to do the right thing?

The dem leadership knew the whole time exactly how to win the election but werent willing to pay the price in thwarting AIPAC to secure that win. All they had to do was recognize the genocide a few days before the election and follow existing laws on it, and acknowledge that many Americans are struggling. They chose to roll the dice instead.

@generalemergency,
Dnc centrists who wouldnt let any possible supporters of Palestinians into the democratic party convention are the real unsung heros here, right?

Do your posts like this one make you feel better about yourself? Thats why you’re posting isnt it. You told yourself you ‘held your nose’ while voting but you didnt really hold your nose at all. You were happy to drop every semblence of basic human morality and dignity in order to win-- and then you lost anyway.. Now you’re angry at those on your own side who didnt shit their own bed and roll around in it like you did.

To win at all in the future and reclaim the demographic losses, the dems need to admit that what was done in Plaestine was wrong. They need to admit Biden and Harris both were not doing their job and not representing the working class, but were simply chasing corporate and special interest campaign dollars. If the party can do that it might survive. Otherwise its probably dead, becuase No one thinks the democrats stand for anything, and the rage evident at the elites related to Luigi’s prosecution is increasingly the response toward out of touch dem leaders. No one supports corporatists so get your shit together.

I never stopped feeling angry that such an epic moron was elected president and used it to enable a genocide.

not in focus (such as screaming incoherently about trans people)

why is “trans people” always the example the centrists bring up, like its some sort of totem. Trans peoples rights are not exactly on very many peoples top 10 list of concerns, and I doubt many people could even name the rights trans people are fighting for and dems are supposedly helping with. Trans people are 1% of the population. If thats all we have for a convincing argument we’re doing politics wrong.

You think charging them 20 a day will get the rich off the road?
