I hate how twitter uses emojis. I use them primarly as decoration, but others use them as some kind of Victorian flower code and you're supposed to just know that π»is code for the campaign to eliminate everyone under 5'7".
@Keir_Starmer I feel like there's a word for "cessation of hostilities" perhaps we can find it in Hansard.
Maybe some time around the middle of last month.
@ObserverUK This is just demonisation of disability, exactly like the Tories are doing.
They'll say it outright while you will bleat about "health", as if we don't know what you're doing.
@stephens_ben@adamjohnsonCHI@oneunderscore__ Yeah 2 things.
1: it's not 2024 yet. Those are not your candidates yet, pressure them to get better ones.
2: you're asking people who maybe lost family to vote for their genocide enabler. Have some empathy and work on point 1 before you ask such a terrible thing of them.
@xsports_ea @AlexFJFreeman @BellaWallerstei@OctopusEnergy And the context is University Challenge.
What's the context you're seeing that makes it unacceptable?
@crashonrepeat You can probably still find it in the pages of the Mail or Express. Very tabloid word. I think it betrays more their influences than their age.
@angelaeagle More people will die without a ceasefire.
You had a chance to vote for a ceasefire.
You abstained.
These are all facts, and when put together, it becomes pretty clear they're not wrong.
@lilbabygandhi Palestine is the home of the original Christians. They have been there from the start and they're still there. And it's fine. You're ignorant and racist.
@creator_grimm @Stevie_Nelson_ An excuse? Excuse? Like what you'd give for committing a small social failing?
Not a reason, like what you'd have for your choice of entertainment.
You people are so weird about the cinema.
May film culture die quicker to save us all from this attitude.
@halogen1048576@TyDurgen@scumbelievable Conflicts pretty heavily with my values. I believe in consent including reproductive consent.
A consent that can be withdrawn at any time, which you can't do if you're dead.
@ZiggyTzardust@shaun_vids Well yeah.
Is there such a disconnect between the people and the parties that the very idea seems ludicrous?
I'm not saying it'll definitely work, a 2 party state props itself up, but you understand that's how it's supposed to work right?
@FremenWrath@shaun_vids Forgot about the military branch and thought you were proposing something extremely impractical for a minute there.
They balance the warheads on their noses.
@ZiggyTzardust@shaun_vids ...yes?
It's called opinion polling. Actually I think you call it something else but fucked if I know. The principle is the same.
You talk to the people doing the surveying, they write it down and aggregate it and then Biden looks at it and goes "hmm".
@bongleigh@TheWapplehouse Because you have time. You have time to make them change their position and/or pick another person.
The only leverage you have is votes is votes so you talk in votes.
Extremely defeatist to be talking about Biden Vs Trump a year out.
@BlasterBuilder There's a year to go, and you're too spineless and uncaring to even consider bluffing.
Why? What do you have to lose? Is creaky old Biden really the best possible candidate even if you can't shift the man's politics personally?
@BlasterBuilder If I say "vote chicken" will you people finally understand?
You don't vote for Trump. You say, to your representatives, to polling companies, to whoever will listen, that you will not vote for Biden under these policy positions.
If you have to suck it up on the day then fine.
