You can do all of that and still vote for the blue team.

We all need to organize and work to strengthen unions. We need to do that. So the choice is just do we want to do that under a blue team presidency or a red team/MAGA presidency

Blue team seems much more currently amenable to unionization. So that seems like it would be the superior conditions for us to organize under.

Wristwatches don't have the negative psychologically addictive and anxiety-producing effects of smartphones

Most people under 50 probably barely have any analog clocks around.

Every home/apt of every under 40 year old person I have ever been in has had at least one analog clock. And most have had several.

Also, grandfather clocks are a thing. And they're gorgeous.

Extremely anti-social to act like digital clocks are better - similar to acting like social media and Facetime calls are in any way superior to irl face-to-face interaction - as our current loneliness epidemic demonstrates

This guy screams I am a white cuck

Like he stands outside your window and does this?

Her removing Biden and getting Walz is all pretty decent tbh. Way better than the norm of Hilldog Dems failing constantly

He is just someone who has a few middling "progressive achievements"

He's probably the most progressive governor in the country. Minnesota has passed a ton of great social democratic stuff over the past few years. Which obviously isn't socialism, but it's better than what everyone else has done, including Shapiro.

Also, agreed on the Zionism. But a progressive Zionist is much better than a militant one like Shapiro

Not sure who would've been better than Walz, tbh

consistent with a trend that is quite obvious

What trend?

sealioning

Using terms like this makes one sound socially maladjusted. Which makes sense given the site we're on. Which reinforces my point that a random comment has no representative value - people on here are STEM-brained weirdos or are bots. Either way, not exactly representative of the median adult US voter

So if the above person was familiar with Whitmer then I should presume that most people also are?

Your points aren't making sense. Anecdotal evidence gathered from a non-American child's comments on a random post on a fringe STEM-lord website is not representative of anything.

I am serious that anecdotal evidence is not statistically significant and that, therefore, one random child is not representative of anything

The child above me and their lack of knowledge has no relation to prudent political decision making, and their opinions are not reflective or representative of anything

A random ignoramus on the internet does not determine anything, much less what is wise for the country or the Democratic Party.

don't know enough about Whitmer

Then you aren't informed enough to even be talking about this
