This you? This isn't a meme you posted about Dems needing to shift left on Palestine? /conversation

Again, not a false dilemma if you've previously posted that pivoting left for Arabic votes on Palestine would put the Democrats in power.
I agree that the Dems abandoned appealing to voters on economic grounds, which is what actually lost them the election. But I'm not addressing any arguments in that - I'm commenting on your previous commentary on Dems not pivoting left on Palestine. So hey, fallacy fallacy yourself if you want.
It's only a strawman if you haven't posted exactly that argument before. So, which is it, though? Did the Dems lose because they failed to pivot left on Palestine to capture the leftist Arabic vote, or are leftist Arabs an inconsequentially small voter base?
Answer: it's the second one! White people handed this country to Trump, and trying to court Arabs with Palestine wouldn't have increased Harris' results.
And so with the leftist Arabic vote being such a tiny % of the overall voter base, it would be really smart to pivot to single-issue to maybe win some of that 0.46%, right?
I know - not sure why you're getting down voted lol
I mean, MAGA media sphere is heavily paid-for by RT/Russia, so... yeah.
2024 election was dictated essentially entirely by minority voters swapping sides for economic reasons
DNC should run on purely social issues because they can't address the economic issues
Hm.
International shitposting is the best shitposting
"A Lightweight VPN Built on top of IPFS + Libp2p"
Seems like both at a glance
You're not alone - Disney Star Wars has being either absolutely fantastic (Rogue One, etc.) or absolutely trash (789, etc.). Rogue One had good characters with interesting motivations and growth. Jyn had to come to terms with her fathers role in the empire and make choices on how to tackle unclear situations.
The new trilogy featured Rey, who... never changed or grew or really faced any meaningful challenge? She was just... always stronger/better because she just was. It felt more like playing a video game where your character fights increasingly big bad guys but never actually changes skills or unlocks new stuff.
And c'mon... "somehow Palpatine has returned" is the laziest piece of shit you can think of. That's some 5th grade fiction writing assignment shit.
Nifty! I built something similar for my university graduation project. Did a PCB, ESP8266 based as well. Temperature, humidity, sound, vibration, airborne particulate sensor, and some other stuff.
Wrapped a server up in docker for receiving the data, basic dashboard in JS for minor reactivity in components. Never ended up actually doing it cause I didn't have a consistent host, but maybe I should spin it up again now that I have a home server.
Cool project, looks neat! Anything you were caught off guard by when doing this?

I disabled replies because you said /conversation and I thought it was done. I didn't bait you.
I think we agree on most things. I disagree that pivoting left on Palestine would have net improved voter turnout for Harris. I do agree that the Dems have failed to appeal to undecideds and non-voters. I do agree some people in the Democratic party will be blaming third-party voters, despite them being of little consequence this election. Criticizing Hispanics for voting Trump based on vague notions of "the economy" is fair game, though, along with criticizing white people who thought Biden was still running, etc.
Re: your other post, if your post is so widely misinterpreted that you have to comment a clarification, maybe your communication isn't clear.
You're clearly not dumb, but not everyone who replies is committing a logical fallacy.
