Fuck Warren. She had her chance to help Sanders on two separate occasions and she chose not to. She's just better at paying lip service than the other Democrats.

Which is much closer to D than R

More than you think. Trump is a fascist piece of shit but he's not wrong when he says the system is rigged and drastic change is needed. Replace Trump's Nazi rhetoric and egoism with workable ideas and genuine empathy and in simplistic terms you have Sanders.

You can be flippant about the nature of first past the post voting systems if you like but it's not a useful contribution to the discussion. If you want to be POTUS you run as an R or a D and Bernie is not an R. That does not mean there are not R voters who like his policies.

You say that but articles like this don't fit that narrative. There are Republican voters who like Bernie and they have been showing up to his rallies for years. I know several Trump voters who have said they would have voted for Sanders if they got the chance. The idea that progressives don't appeal to conservatives is neoliberal propaganda. Progressives hit on alot of the same problems as conservative politicians they just have different solutions (and a lot less bullshit). Neoliberalism just pretends that the status quo is fine. Despite the name conservatives are largely unhappy with the status quo. That's how we got Trump.

I genuinely hope racism and sexism are the primary motivations behind this because that's pretty much the best case scenario

To be fair, I was very high when I posted this and I was referring to the Travis Kelce bit. Sometimes you gotta own the downvotes

Canada defeated USA in the 4 Nations hockey competition. It was a good game that some apparently ascribed political relevance to. Seemed like just a hockey game to me.

If this was more about Travis Kelce liking Trump you'd have no problem agreeing with me. You're only ignoring the principle in this case because this particular person thinks the same as you.

 

Can we add the option to exclude communities and/or posts that are in a different language than our chosen default? I'm guessing filtering communities would be easier than individual posts but I'm not sure how language would be flagged. I understand some people may want to see some of these posts but even multilingual people must be bombarded with posts in languages they don't speak. I'm getting pretty annoyed that half of my feed is stuff I can't read.

I've looked through the settings multiple times but I suppose it's still possible this already exists and I just missed it.
