I’m sure that will be blamed on someone else. Probably trans people.

I’m beginning to think you might be trolling based on your responses. In case I’m wrong…

The simple answer to your question was that people who voted in the Democratic Party primary didn’t want him to be their nominee. Of course you’re asking why.

In 2020, Sanders had the lead and the party leaders decided “guys, we can’t run a Socialist Jew against Donald Trump, so we need to pick a candidate and go with him.” A ton of people vying for the nomination dropped out and endorsed Biden. Their supporters voted according to the endorsements and we ended up getting Joe Biden.

ETA: To be clear the Democratic Party is a private organization and they can do whatever they want. It’s completely within their rights to say “we need to stop Bernie Sanders” and put in action a plan to do just that.

I think the Democrats are too far right, but that’s not what lost them the election. What lost them the election is that voters think the President controls the price of groceries, and if cheaper groceries means killing a lot of brown people, that’s a small price to pay.

No one can answer that question but you.

The President can pardon anyone he wants for any federal crime as long as it’s backward looking. He can’t pardon someone for something that will happen in the future.

The President does not have the power to abolish pardons.

I think it’s fine. And if you like it great. I’m not here to tell people they can’t like it.

But they very hard sell the whole “butter burger” thing and dude, they’re the same as regular burgers.

You are a person who likes to eat.

I will take your word for it. I am not involved in any online dating, but am also not gay.

I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.

I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you’d have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.

online dating is toxic

I’ve read some good evidence is that this is because women, especially zoomer and millennial women, are considerably more liberal than the men in their peer group. Historically, women have always been more liberal than men, but the difference between them has gotten extreme in the last 10 years. Being a Trump supporter is a deal-breaker for many single women.

Yes and it’s likely that they will not be allowed to any longer after Google lost their anti-trust case.

For me, I never had a Reddit account so I don’t have a basis of comparison.

I don’t even really care about the features, look, etc. I care that it’s decentralized and not owned by a corporation. That’s the beginning and end of it for me.

Fair enough. I find, for better or worse, there are very few people I care about to that extent.

When I visit with family this upcoming holiday season, I will do the kind thing and ask how things are going of my extended family. Not because I care, but because this is what is expected. My cousin is going to welcome his first child in the next few months. I am happy for him, and will offer my support in any way I can, but I don’t care about what he’s doing to prepare or “how he feels about being a dad.”

Edit: I still think your scenario falls under “you really care, you are not being nice” in this hypothetical.

I made it through. My degree is actually in math. 15 years ago, I used to know what an abelian group is!

The framing of this question is interesting. “…or are you just being nice?” Seems to assume that being nice is not a legitimate or authentic way of being, maybe unless it is a means of getting something you want.

What the OP is saying is “do you really care” or are you feigning interest because it is the socially acceptable thing to do? That’s what “just being nice” means.

No, but I’m depressed most of the time so I don’t really care about a lot.

We were on quarters, so we had calc 1-4. Makes sense that Calc 2 was rough if you were on semesters.

For me it’s like…if all this is true then why isn’t this guy rich and winning court cases left and right? The only possible explanation is that this isn’t true because he’s not.

Where I’m from Calc 2 is integrals. That wasn’t so terrible. It was Calc 3 (vectors and series) that was the hard one.

I don’t get this at all. Masculinity is not being attacked. Being an asshole is. I suppose if someone thinks being an asshole is part of masculinity, that’s their problem.
