They don’t have majority in confirmation hearings. Vance is the tiebreaker. The only nominee who didn’t pass was Gaetz, and that was because Republicans voted against him too.

Anteaters are more likely than weasels

Thank you for the well thought out response! I feel like acids are a potential solution. You could use tomato or pepper acids for flavor and microbial resistance.

Roman soldiers used to keep their lupini beans in red wine vinegar for longevity. They’re very high in protein, and the acid in the vinegar would create lactic acid, which helps break down muscle during exercise.

I just feel like there’s potential there.

I use Homebridge on a Pi for a secure camera feed. It works well.

You can safely add Amazon electronics to that meme too.

If you eat meat, sure.

I feel the same way about protein bars. Why is it always double chocolate caramel swirl rainbow birthday cake? Is it really impossible to make a protein bar savory?

The extended scene leaves no room for misunderstandings.

Typical all or nothing response. Let’s forget the 535 members of Congress have primaries every 2-4 years so we can complain that ‘it was either Fetterman or Dr. Oz’ when Fetterman beat three primary contenders, two of whom were progressive, in a primary that saw <9% turnout.

If you think abstaining is the solution, why has it only made things worse for the last 40 years?

Why must it be one or the other? Do you really believe the best strategy is to focus all of your efforts in one direction?

I don’t care if you play. I’m merely saying how continuing to do nothing is pointless. Good luck complaining the government out of power.

That’s a form of cognitive distortion, not a political strategy. Mamdani won against 10 other candidates because we showed up. We have literal evidence that’s all it takes. Quit with the victim mentally and take your country back.

If you’re honestly expecting a three-party system to emerge from FPTP, you need to work on your mathematics.

Correct. What caused the Democrats to move right over the last 40 years were the retirees who continuously voted for centrist conservatives in primaries. They’re the only ones who always show up, hence the <15% congressional primary attendance.

Mamdani got the NYC primary up to a record 30%. That’s all it takes for us the move the Overton Window back to the left.

Oh, then by all means. Maybe show up to a Democratic primary once in a while and you’ll get your chance.

No one’s stopping you. Go get locked up.

The DNC could not have offered him less support in his primary campaign. He won over the city with 50k volunteers going door-to-door, a strong social media campaign, and his focus on the concerns of the working class New Yorker.

There is no backdoor in Apple’s encryption. That’s the reason the US and UK governments have prosecuted Apple repeatedly. They can obtain iCloud data with a warrant, but are repeatedly pressing for real-time surveillance. The UK banned encryption without a backdoor, so Apple turned off encryption rather than compromising their standard.

He now holds the primary attendance record in NYC. It was only 30% of eligible voters, up from 21% in the last election. That’s literally all it takes. We just need to show the fuck up.

Congressional primaries see less than 15% attendance. We’ve been letting retirees pack our ballots with centrists for 40 years, then complain about our choices in the general elections. We wouldn’t be calling for term limits if we consistently participated in primaries.

As a New Yorker…who gives a fuck?

You do understand that “DNC support” just means advertising money, right?

Our nation needs to stop blaming Big Lettuce for their lack of salad ads while they get fat on McDonald’s every day. Stop rewarding the candidates with the financial means to find you in your living room and research the candidates on your ballot.
