The democratic party is absolutely to blame for this damning historic loss. The last time the Republican won the popular vote was over 20 years ago and the fact the candidate that just pulled that off is the ultra divisive Donald Trump says more about the failure of the left than it does about the right. The majority of Americans don't believe the Democrats can or will fight for them anymore and that's a major issue. Joe Biden wasn't able to effectively articulate his policies and the gaslighting us about his obvious mental acuity did nothing to build trust. I'm tired of hearing the Dems should pick a centrist candidate when it's obvious they need to dump big money interests and fight for working people again. They need to run a left wing candidate that has the ability to clearly speak to and defend their well thought out policies. They need someone who we can trust to take action on office and not just give lip service our issues. Until then get ready to fail.

I made this exact argument. All of the sudden they're against excessive police raids. Maybe they'll agree that if police are using this much manpower for squirrels they may be over funded and a correction could be in order. One could argue for some sort of defunding to get police priorities back in order.

I think a bigger component in making this happen is instituting ranked choice voting. Political parties are private institutions that have amassed entirely too much power over our country. Sure, we can vote but electoral college or popular voting and we still are stuck with a candidate selected by one of two private institutions. These private entities are able to control elected officials who stray too far from the party line. As long as large political parties control the candidates our vote holds less power.

We stop the horrors by placing stipulations on the aid we supply the Israelis. We stop turning a blind eye to how their extreme right wing factions like Netanyahu's Likud party use our money and military resources. The United States, Europe and most of Asia are against settlements within Palestinian territories but each year right wing politicians allow or even encourage taking over more and more land. Plenty of Israeli citizens are against the settlements and against the Netanyahu regime so let's work with them to make decisions that aren't so obviously provocative to both their neighbors as well as the minority Israeli citizens who also live there. Let's not pretend Netanyahu's do whatever he pleases policies aren't a big part of the anger and aggression we are seeing year after year. Our aid and financial support should be 100% conditional.

My point was that a transmitter would be easily detectable.

I am fully against this booby trapping war crime regime but the problem with your first options is that pagers don't transmit like phones do. That means there would be no way to remotely aquire the GPS or other saved data undetected.

I didn't read this post because it is way too long. Please make a short ten to twenty second video summering your points but make sure it's also funny or I'll get bored and swipe.

This is what I picture mall cop warfare looks like.

The Samsung keyboard definitely looks better but underperforms both gboard & SwiftKey when it comes to swipe typing, auto correction and spelling. I very much wish it was the best because I'm getting tired of the other two trying to force AI features on their keyboards.

I'm fairly certain it's getting worse.

As if I wasn't already highly motivated this year. 🤣

That's very presumptuous of you to assume they don't already have one.
