politics @lemmy.world•Michelle Obama says US ‘not ready for a woman’ to be president: ‘Don’t even look at me about running’
124·1 day agoNo, Biden was elected after Trump 1. Then people wanted more change and it became very clear that Biden was not going to win his reelection (not because of policies alone). Harris simply didn’t either, but she didn’t lose where the old white man would have won in the same circumstances and everything else equal. Harris being equal to Biden is what lost votes, not her gender.
Are you going to try and claim that Friends is better than Breaking Bad or the first 8 seasons of Game of Thrones?
Yes

1·6 days agoThey’re not up for reelection next cycle, so they’re already getting fired, it’s just too bad that’s not happening for several months and it already fucked this particular situation and everything behind it (and they’ll do it again before they’re gone).

politics @lemmy.world•Prop 50: Californians pass redistricting measure that helps Democrats flip up to five House seats
1·12 days agoYou see, this is why I speak of nuance.
No, you don’t. You “observe” that both sides are “saying the same thing.” You remove all nuance. And then you piss around complaining about being misunderstood and misinterpreted. And it turns out everyone sees through you because everyone already knows the “just asking questions” “just observing (very vague surface level vacuities)” stereotype.
I’m not American, dumbass.

politics @lemmy.world•Prop 50: Californians pass redistricting measure that helps Democrats flip up to five House seats
3·12 days agoThing is, the Republicans are lying. So when you quote their excuse verbatim and put them on the same level of truth and representation, you are spreading a lie / propaganda.
Republicans are not doing gerrymandering to counter Democrats gerrymandering. They are doing it to silence opposition, over-value their voters, steal power, and abuse the law-making and law-enforcing system. And they claim that they are following the law.
No, Democrats removing undue power by placing equal representation back on top is not the same thing. They are saying the same thing on the surface, but one side is obviously lying, and when you say they use the same thing, you ARE acting like the excuse has the same value as the truth. And if you wanted to spin it as “they both makethe same claim / use the same excuse” , now you’re casting doubt on the veracity of the Dem’s argument, which is also inappropriate. The only spin that would make sense is to say that Dems are correct and Reps are lying by making the same claim.
That’s why you get downvoted.

2·14 days agoI’m still sad they killed the 2008 Prince of Persia after the DLC, top of my list from them. (Lost Crown isn’t far)
Also TBF, Origins isn’t the best example to blame them for making a stale loop, since that’s precisely the game where they updated the AC formula to make it a lot more RPG.
But I cannot for the life of me understand how the series blew up into a juggernaut of a dozen releases over two decades.
Heavily historical setting fairly accurate about settings that a lot of people are interested about. Nothing easier. You can literally throw a dart at a map and a timeline and make something interesting with a shit story. People will buy a million of them, doesn’t matter if they’re all the same game. It’s a goddamn mystery that no one is doing anything like that with their own engine, absolute lack of imagination.

3·21 days agoThe biggest party in the parliament, or a coalition, pick the prime minister. I’m pretty sure this one was from a coalition, and she was the leader of her party, and her party was the bigger of the coalition. Members of parliament do get elected into it by the people, who vote for a person and/or for a list. They didn’t pick her to be leader of the party, but they voted for the people in the party that she recently became leader of.

Far right Trump lover who wants a return to traditional values. You know which tradition she’s talking about, and it’s not a Japanese tradition.
Also, prime minister not president, and not elected.

1·2 months agoDefine unwell. He and she are not talking about the same thing, he’s not agreeing with her, he’s muddying the water on what anyone is talking about.
Like “he’s committing genocide, he’s crazy” “but what about cinnamon rolls, that’s crazy too” is not him agreeing, it’s him changing the subject.

politics @lemmy.world•Mike Johnson Caught on Camera Admitting Trump Is ‘Unwell’
31·2 months agoNo, he’s changing the meaning of “unwell” by comparing what she says about Trump to what Republicans say about Democrats. Which is not that they are actually too old and sick to govern. Well, they do say that and a lot more, but that’s not the implication he’s making here. He’s downplaying how “unwell” Trump is. Because “unwell” is a fucking understatement, and this is him just pushing it further under.

101·2 months ago“Doing things for attention” means attention for yourself. This is for the benefit of something that is not herself. Understand the difference when you say she’s doing it for attention, she is not. “She’s doing it for attention” and “She’s bringing attention to a good cause” are very different sentences.
