Unfortunately that one is still plagued by children, even if not fully designed for them, at least when I was there

I think the general feeling of disenfranchisement comes from the DNC influence in primaries. Who they throw their weight behind in terms of advertising dollars and publicity makes a big difference in how the primaries go. Also very relevant is which states have their primaries when, as most times the primaries are called before every state has theirs. This is also hearsay and way harder to substantiate, but there are also some that cry foul that there isn't actually much in place to monitor primaries like there are in standard elections and there is significantly higher potential for fudged numbers and misrepresented results.

Of course I would still love to see more left candidates get the nomination despite that, but it is certainly still possible that I am in the minority in that desire.

For 2024, though, it doesn't much matter if Biden is who the left wants. When running against a literal fascist, there isn't really as much room to voice complaints about the alternatives. I voted for Biden in 2020 and will again in 2024 even though he is much further right than my political leaning, and even for those of us on the left who are not happy with how Biden has been doing, there isn't really room to show that with voting because the alternative is so much worse. In this scenario, votes for Biden can easily be misconstrued as support for Biden which is not really the case

A lot of us live in states that didnt get to vote in the primaries, and a lot of us show up to every election even when neither option really represents our views (albeit one much more than the other). To say we aren't getting our way cause we aren't voting, though undoubtedly true for some, is a bad take

This is not even touching on the DNC putting their finger on the scales in the primaries that did happen

And you can make those chumps work slave hours and literally meat cleave them if they displease you. Theoretically you can be an ethical trainer instead i guess, I wouldn't know

Have would you say these compare to duck duck go? I switched away from google but duck duck go is just kinda ok, haven't heard of these two

I have been checking for updates on this since I first heard of it on the loading screen of PoE2. If it's anything like the pillars games I am gonna be real happy

The big assumption here is that whoever republicans put forward next will be better. I generally agree that we all need to vote to prevent fascism but I want to believe there is a line somewhere, cause now it feels like both parties are moving more and more right each election and sooner or later just being more left than the obvious fascist is not going to be good enough.

Already, even if we both want the left to have a unified front, the far left are splintering from the increasingly centrist Dems and the seeming only legal democratic way to convince the party to stop putting forward such centrist options is for that segment to stop voting for them.

I understand that doing that in this election has too high a risk of ending democracy altogether. I just wish I had more confidence that wouldn't also be true in 2028 and 2032 etc.

Fwiw I share your comments pretty closely, just finished it myself a few weeks ago. Navigating the map was unbelievably tedious especially with random trash mob spawns whenever you took a wrong turn. I also found myself totally apathetic about the side missions or random task missions and just focused main story the whole time. It took me a long time to finish for those reasons but did really enjoy the plot. Gameplay I just built myself into a rock chucker like you and ignored all guns. Certainly a very neat concept, just wanted waaaaay more map help. Hardest part for me was the theme song bit through the shifting map thing (maybe that's what you were referring to?) But enjoyed the music there so was alright with all my deaths. Rest was easier by comparison

Woo twinsies!

You'd never make it to the cloud district though

While I basically agree on the outcome, I worry that it will lead to more absence of presidential debates which feels problematic in terms of keeping people in echo chambers . I mean I don't seriously think anyones mind will change but generally hearing it out anyway is....maybe productive? Idk

I believe it is most often for nsfw purposes but what do I know about such things nervous
