you've just been spouting thought terminating cliches this entire interaction. maybe you should look in the mirror and double check what dems/repubs have turned you into.

news flash: democrats only have 27% approval from traditionally democratic voters. guess you're one of those morons who hasnt got the memo yet.

My fee fees! Enjoy your self inflicted fascism.

Please halp!

Yes the point was that the problem is the system design not the voters not being logical enough go watch star trek and follow Spock's character development. 😂

And the problem with using a shared cultural reference is? 😂

Fucker we use water pipes to explain current and other concepts in high energy physics.

You need to get over yourself.

And your problem remains the same. Your friend experiences the world differently than you. You gf might very well have had a symmetrical face in her mind.

And as for sound healing: define healing. ;) many people find emotional release through music. Which is an example of healing.

You basically just sound like an anal retentive ass afk who hasnt even started to comprehend the world and people around them.

they couldn’t reason their way out of a wet paper bag.

neither can you apparently. you're confusing reasoning with jargon. they just speak a different dialect.

'focus energy in your feet' is tell you to ground yourself, loosen your knees and tighten the core. chi describes focusing your mental attention on something. any person who has snowboarded/skateboarded would understand exactly what that person is saying if they bothered to listen and put the terms into context.

do you consider 'sound healing' bogus? what if I told you your cells have receptors that can detect sound vibrations (your ears work right? but its more than that individual cells can too.)? which cause neural impulses which can impact large areas of the brain and body directly and indirectly.

your problem is you dont stop to listen and understand what these people are saying and you just dismiss it because they settled on using a different way of speaking and describing concepts that are nontraditional in western societies.

Incorrect, fptp voting systems suck.

You mean like running a campaign based on genocide, war hawking, and enabling corporate abuses as a democratic candidate? Yeah i was pretty baffled by that too.

Fun fact: a lot of the crystal healers i interact with are solid people.

Nutty sure but most of them are all about emotional wellness and support and very few are okay with trump or republicans.

It always amuses me when the people who think they're rational and shit on the mystic groups miss out on wonderful friends and allies.

Kind of like the 2019 campaign when everone shit on Marianne Williamson.

😂 correct i have zero faith in the democrats ability to turn their party around and its going to result in our country right into a period of fascist rule.

Congratulations!

Lol. It absolutely does. The entire content of the image, the mods reaction, to yours is emblematic of the problem.

didnt say he was. point is he's completely shattering the illusion that the democrats couldn't have done anything each time they've had the presidency and that they choose to shit on the working class.

trump won because he is doing what his base wants (deporting people and being an asshole) and democrats lose because they are not doing what their base wants and just give excuses each time.

they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

how precisely are you going to make them? do you see the issue here? and this is exactly why trump won. because democrats wouldn't do a damn thing for working class americans no matter how many we elect if the corporate owners didnt want them too.

trump on the other hand is more than happy to do whatever he wants and you're all suddenly seeing how effective it is when you dgaf.

pretty standard of them.

if you dont want the vote to be split tell your candidate to adopt their platform. its pretty simple.

what a completely useless statement. the problem is democrats have been abandoned by the population at large because of their lack of doing things that have a positive and material impact on the american middle class and if they dont fix this in the next few months they'll likely never get a chance to and we're all worse off for it.

biden barely started to do it and then lost all the political capital he potentially had because he decided breaking a strike and supporting a genocide was more important than winning. and harris followed him off the cliff.

YDI: you sound like a whiny little pain in the ass who adds little value to any conversation they're a part of. this post is emblematic of this fact.

no we shit on them for actively lying about and preventing QOL improvements like healthcare, fixes to the power imbalance between labor and corps, etc. this is about 3 decades later than it should have been. and we've been talking about universal healthcare ~ a century at this point.

at some point you need to accept they suck and are not doing what they should be and its literally killing people. you dont get a pat on the back just because some one else is killing people faster than you.

you have democratic candidates running around blaming trans people for their loss last year, you have them actively supporting trump initiatives this year. while simultaneous spewing bullshit about how people are going to vote for them in the midterms because trump. Quick question: what if we dont? because they still suck, and are not offering us any reason to vote for them?

lets perform a little critical thinking shall we?

go find documented evidence of the majority of democratic candidates having policy positions in support for single payer and ran on them. or have any coherent policy changes at the party level that would actually fix the issues with health care / the destruction of the middle class due to corporate power imbalances.

until you can answer those two questions you're going to continue to see democrats lose ground to fascists.

Tl;dr; apparently I wasnt the one living in a fantasy realm after all.

You're more than welcome to continue voting for democrats. But you're not going to convince people they're worth voting for if all you can come up with are programs that shouldnt even need to exist if democrats actually put forth policies that resolved the issues facing the middle class economically.

Programs for new mothers? Fucking please, enact fucking paternity leave and expand both to a year of paid leave usable for the first 7 years of a child at parents conviencce.

Chips? Are you fucking kidding me? Stop allowing ceos and investors to suck up all the cash our economy generates, prevent the ability to become billionaires while your workers require socialized programs and these programs are not even necessary.

As for harris campaign site, im very well familiar with what was on it. It was a bunch of useless policy positions that did nothing. Her healthcare policies were essentially insulin caps. Which sorry but thats not what the fucking problem is. Her economic policies were essentially 'you get to continue to being fucked over by corporate greed.'

Right now you're in an abusive relationship with the Democrats that you feel you need to stay in, and the fact is you dont, its really not that hard to walk away.

This toxic relationship is why Democrats funded the trump crazies thinking itd ensure your vote come election time. And for you it did. For those of us unwilling to put up with toxic manipulative shit stains who like to add in a side of genocide as dessert we've moved on.

Happy to come back if the democrats reform themselves (maybe you should ask yourself why only AOC and bernie are running around trying to build the base up) but until then they can: fuck. right. off.

Its like night and day

Its really fucking not. As we're seeing democrats are happy to go along with fascism and are completely ineffectual at combatting it.
