In posts that user has given different replies to the same comment of mine multiple times, minutes apart, seemingly unaware they were doing so. Sus to me.

Back when twitter was a thing, for my rep had a social media ‘minion’ army that managed propaganda accounts, multiple people per account to pretend to be voters with ‘concerns’ about Dems. This felt the same.

‘Woke’ schools adding litter boxes in bathrooms for furries.

I have relatives with master’s degrees that work in education that you can not convince that cat litter bathrooms are not a thing.

This usually places undue burden on women, poor and generally anybody not a white dude.

Say you are a woman, okay you’ve got your certified copy of your birth certificate $10-but wait the name doesn’t match because you got married.

Now you need a marriage certificate, thats another $10 and the trouble of contacting another municipal office.

Oh were you married twice? Thats tracking down another 2 municipal offices, another $10 marriage cert and now a certified judgement of divorce which will cost-ooh was your children’s custody agreement a part of that? $40. Did you not remember your divorce file number from 30 years ago? It’ll be an additional $5 per name per every 2 years searched.

I’ve seen women spend like $200 just on certified copies to get a realID driver’s license. Has a chilling effect on registering, to solve a problem of voter fraud that doesn’t really exist.

Progressives have been dropping the ball since before 2010? Why yes I agree.

Ah, so you were. Ngl wasn’t following usernames and somebody’s ‘y tu Bernie’ had me rage posting

Progressive policies are popular. But progressives have done a shit job of turning that enthusiasm into political capital. Waiting every four years for a nationally appealing, ideologically perfect candidate to magically fall in our lap seems to be a winning strategy—for republicans. Too many would be progressives give up if they can’t have the whole cake handed to them instead of rolling up some sleeves and learning how to work from scratch.

Books. Cspan. Try again. I can’t spoon feed you 30 years worth of politics in a lemmy post. Nothing you posted was in the parking lot of the stadium of truth.

Yeah. None of what you said it true tho? For the border I’d recommend this book Everyone who is gone is here by Jonathan Blitzer. And they can’t codify without the votes? Remember Obamacare? To agree with you I’d have to only become political aware a couple years ago and never read more than headlines. Pick up a book, watch some cspan, try again.

Sigh. There was a moment when I first joined lemmy that I was impressed how liberal of a space it was. And then I wandered into the comments of posts concerning gender. Fuucking depressing. Really, people would benefit from a gender studies class, or even anthropology or family and society, but for some everything is an attack and I doubt they’ll listen.

Riiiiight. They’ll never overturn Roe, that’s got judicial standing. It’s downright hysterical to suggest such a thing could happen. It’s not like we could live in an America with a 3rd of American women under an abortion ban right, and a national ban looming? RIGHT? And it would be unthinkable to intentionally and irrevocably separate families right? Not for any procedural necessity, but just to brutally traumatize anyone who tries to make a crossing. That’d be a pretty fucked up inhuman policy RIGHT?

I’ve deleted my account, but for twitter was nice for a run to get notifications on local road closures and weather alerts. Sigh.

Ah! I am a beginner, and use a much thinner quilting cotton. To prevent the glue showing I have to fill with mix of acrylic medium and starch paste (haven’t found a ratio I really liked), or to back the cloth with paper. So to me your casing looked like witchcraft! I really like the etching effect. No idea how it’d work in practice, but it seems like you could make some gorgeous illustrationy covers by going over the cloth multiple times at different strengths for different values.

Ty for the post! Did you media fill the bookcloth with anything? What glue did you use?

Ty, I appreciate you throwing these type of breakdowns in the comments of ‘national’ polls too.

Nah, I’ll bite

Candidates from the two major parties need signatures from 0.5% of qualified primary voters from their party in the congressional district. For parties not on the ballot for the last election, candidates must collect signatures from 5% of all general election voters, according to state law.

I don’t hate this for statewide level* offices. Election offices are under funded enough, they don’t have the resources to fuck around with every joke party somebody makes.

God I picked a shit time to tune in. They should have gone with the sax.

Hm. You seem to contain multitudes. Perhaps literally.

Absolutely rage bait. Imo the language might read as non combative, but in application it feels like just a blind to slip a ban. Read through some of their exchanges with Mx. SMCF; it’s pointing a hand in somebody’s face and using the ‘I’m not touching you’ of defenses.
