The Gaming Den

Is the sobriety of the parliament now something that the voting public is now going to have to think about during elections going forward or is this relegated to just bring another quirky thing elected officials do?

So looking at that just makes me think: We should make it so that those immigrants should have a quicker and easier time changing their status from immigrant to citizen over the next 10 years so annoying (borderline) racist people can stop complaining about the number of people with that immigrant l...

I like that dead DM thinks that he's providing nuance to the situation yet he is just repeating talking points that his team agreed was bad when Trump was in office. As long as there is a sufficient NYT article you really can make these people believe anything.

I do not see how anything dead has posted addresses or counters the very real fact that a significant amount of Americans (again over 50% by the data he decided to present) are not seeing their wealth grow at all and many have seen only more issues under Biden. Given dead's complete inability to gra...

No one is arguing against the possibilty that things could get better. They always can. What this exposes, and what should give dead and anyone else who did the same pause, is how fully this narrative was bought into. Instead of thinking about what these numbers mean the first instinct was just to b...

I want to highlight that even in the hypothetical kaelik presents here that the numbers dead posted suggest you wouldn't be back to even 2021 money wise AND that only 41% of Americans would've seen that, if any, uptick. So you don't need to invent reasons for people to recognize that they are effect...

Well thank you for agreeing with me that talking about buying power is useless I guess. Though you don't need that many words to say you're right. More importantly you still haven't produced have any data to back up the claim that people who are (and presumably have been) losing in this economy even...

So I specifically talked about what you are looking at to tell you how Americans that were falling behind inflation are making more money in that thing you quoted. I did not ask about your views on 'buying power' because you can get more buying power by working more overtime, getting a second job, o...

Why would you be asking for more data when it you think about the chart you posted actually means rationally you can figure it out for yourself? Every year according to the chart you posted about 50% of Americans don't see their wages outpace inflation. The number of those who fell behind went up fo...

So we all know that Biden is out of touch because why would he pay attention to anything but his own memories from 20 years ago at this point? Turns out though, that he's a big fan of Morning Joe (that show with the Republican guy!) and, similar to Trump's obsession with people he sees on the TV, se...

By the metrics presented in that axios article 59% of Americans saw no significant increase (if I accepted that 5% is significant) in wages compared to this year's inflation. Near 50% are still under. I don't think that just feelings are the reason Americans aren't responding to it given their own n...

Saying that they aren't specifically engaging in an evil scheme to specifically to drag politics rightward is not the same as calling them not evil. Most Nazi's were just doing their job. Being apathetic about the evil they are doing does not make them a part of the problem. The system is bad and of...

I do not see how being shitty about the border at all threatens their ability to be elected. Dead is right here assuring you that he will vote blue right up until the boot is placed directly on their throat. Only then would something else be considered. People just not voting just means that they wi...

The belief they are pushing things rightward suggests a level of competency that I would not attribute to them. I more think the Dem party is made up of bureaucratic ghouls who largely have no values that aren't purely aesthetic. Sure those aesthetic values are important because actual real life peo...

My favorite thing about people like dead is how perfectly people like him mirror MAGA fans. Here we have a president that has now and in the past supported the Israeli crimes in Palestinians. We have numerous statements past and present of his intent to continue supporting it. We have people his adm...

So first off revolutions, just like any political movement aren't a single person doing a thing. Now I'm going to highlight this and point out that dead keeps doing this thing where he's adding unnecessary bits to things he decides to sure people he's not against. Earlier it was the idea he doesn't ...

First off I do not know why deaddm is lying about not being the votebluenomatter who type. He is. Sure there might be some extreme example like what if the president started personally coming to his house to mug him at gun point but short of something like that dead would be back here doing his boot...

Ahh yes now that is deaddm posting with the proper amount of deference to our joke of a democracy. You see if you look at these statistics we are less corrupt than many other democracies. Luckily we legalized a lot of the corruption in this country so we could score a little better. Let's see those ...

so the major strategy is still just to coast into victory because the only other option we're realistically allowed is as bad or worse on everything.

I think that's my line.

Doubtful. The coast to victory bit shows a bit too much doubt in Biden for a deaddm post. Not enough bootlicking.

I think it is very clear that Biden is personally invested in the continuation of these war crimes and it's not 'just' people around him pushing this for him. Over the months there have been several notable resignations over this. Word has leaked to the press about people in high places being 'frust...

IDF assaulted a church. Christians inside attacked and killed with no warning. More and more people are starting to understand that they are being absolutely indiscriminate in their assault. The US is the only major holdout for the increasing demands by the UN for a ceasefire.

Isn't it a week known fact that Jewish people are in far more danger in Israel than most, if not all, western democracies? I guess Biden is a true believer in the Israeli propaganda.

I think Biden has an extremely uphill battle if 'the economy' is his only play. Biden and Biden enjoyers have been very frustrated that us struggling people just don't see how the economy is actually better. I mean it's getting bad more slowly I guess, but that isn't as noticable as the fact that un...

The Biden administration has at some point realized that a ceasefire is a good thing and wants to take credit for this one. That's cool and all but that's just going to make sure that they look even worse when Israel starts to continue the rest of their genocidal attacks. They are going to, I guess,...

Whenever I see someone under these conditions trying to argue that Hamas definitely does want to wipe Israel out two thoughts occur to me. 1: Given the conditions of this conflict why would that matter? Let's say that the people of Gaza do have a burning desire to see Israel wiped out. So what? They...
