  • I’ve been out protesting, there’s been weekly ones here that I attend.

    A lot of these people that were disenfranchised by the Democrats ended up voting for Cornel West or Jill Stein instead. I already know what people are going to say, something something wasted vote, but I’m really sick of that entire argument because all it does is delegitimize third parties and keeps this status quo of “lesser evil”.

    If this entire notion that you have to vote for one or two parties is going to keep going on as it is, then I’ll gladly point to the senate election in Nebraska where an independent aligned with the Forward and Reform parties only lost to the Republican by about 6%. Do I agree with Osborn or the Forward or Reform parties, not fully, especially with how interesting a candidate Osborn was, but the fact that he gave such competition in a traditionally safe Republican riding shows that voting for other candidates is NOT wasting your vote.



  • If the Democrats wanted to bring these people out, then perhaps they should’ve changed their stance when it comes to Israel.

    Sorry, but voters are going to vote based off their values, and if they see nobody who reflects their values, then the onus is on the parties, not the voters.

    If you’re Arab-American, and you see that your country is facilitating the bombing of the country your parents were born and raised in, then you’re not gonna vote for the party in power that’s actively allowing that to occur.

    Why don’t you go ahead and tell the people in those shoes that they should go out and vote for the people who refuse to stop supporting a foreign government that’s actively killing their family members? Go on, say it to their face that they should have supported the people who support the country that killed their cousin. Tell them that they should have chosen between the person that’s killing their relatives, and the person who’ll do it even more.



  • You can make mayonnaise with relative ease at home using a blender or food processor. If you can figure out the name of the specific type of mayonnaise, it would likely be easier to make it from scratch than finding it ready-made at the store.

    I’m making a few assumptions here ofc, but the main downside that comes to mind is how long it’d keep for, as you wouldn’t have much if any preservatives in the homemade product, though can’t say I’m experienced with that at all to properly comment.















  • You share a community, and get a solid 8 downvotes with people coming into your community to downvote the content you posted in the community you made and shared.

    Thank God I have no other communities to share because genuinely what the hell. Why bother sharing a community you made if people that clearly aren’t interested in what you’re sharing only come in to downvote content they know doesn’t appeal to them?
