You’re the one disconnected with reality. You seriously think you’re winning an argument by petulantly saying the same irrelevant thing over and over. The vote count is not relevant to this discussion when the main offenses occurred before a single vote was cast and very much influenced the course of the election. That’s why the corrupted DNC in collusion with the Clinton campaign did them in the first place.
Right, the vote from the election where the winning candidate installed a sycophant as head of DNC who eventually had to resign in disgrace because she was actively rigging the election for Clinton. The election where the Clinton campaign siphoned funds from state races for her own campaign. The election where the Control campaign had documented authority over what the DNC could say. The election where the media, working for the same elite class, reported Clinton as insurmountably ahead before a single primary vote had been cast.
That’s the election that you think the end vote is even a little bit relevant for when people are talking about how it was a corrupt election? Give me a break, you’re just a standard issue neoliberal apologist.
Yeah, our struggles definitely pale in comparison to marginalized groups. And no worries! I didn’t think you were, I just know how much my brother-in-law struggled with dyslexia, though he didn’t have a very supportive family so he didn’t even get diagnosed until he was an adult.
They think my nephew is showing early signs of it too, but hopefully his experience will be closer to yours since he’ll get support early on.
Auditory processing disorder is such a weird one. In a lot of contexts I actually like it, it’s like having earmuffs without wearing anything. I just wish I could turn it on and off intentionally. Sometimes I need it because the unfiltered background noise is too much but it won’t turn on. Sometimes I’m trying to take in audio and don’t realize it’s turned on and I missed a bunch.
I’ve also realized that I actually read lips a lot to compensate for background noise, so I’ve been trying to hone that skill more intentionally. Another thing that’s maybe a benefit of the disorder.
No, you infantilizing asshole. The fact that you’re still pushing this stupid game means you clearly don’t intend to argue in good faith. The fact that even after making me explain a very simple and straightforward statement you still think the vote results are relevant to a discussion about the corruption of the 2016 primaries means you’re just yet another liberal apologetic. If you’re unwilling to grapple with the fact that the DNC is a corrupt organization, we’re done here.
No, I’m saying the election itself was corrupted in order to feed the victory to Hillary. Superdelegates, DNC-run smear campaigns, election rigging by limiting debates to reduce the visibility of the outsider. Accusations of sexism simply for not supporting the candidate with a vagina.
Manipulating votes is not the only way to rig an election, you can do a lot just by manipulating the voters themselves. The DNC admitted to this, they didn’t have to run a fair election. So stop pretending the end result of a blatantly corrupt process justifies the process.
Do you really think the vote results of a corrupt election somehow make that election not corrupt? How are we still having this stupid ass argument in 2026?
I guess Putin really does have 88% support in Russia. That’s what the vote says after all, so it must be true.
Damn that sounds rough. I’ve got some dyslexic family members and I can’t imagine combining their struggles with auditory processing disorder.
Other conditions exist. I have auditory processing disorder and one part of it is an involuntary disabling of my audio processing when my brain is trying to focus on something, particularly anything else to do with language like note-taking. My ears will “hear” but my brain won’t.
It wasn’t completely debilitating, but it made certain kinds of classes inordinately difficult for me. Discussion based classes were a nightmare for me, and no amount of practice could change how my brain works. So instead I pursued STEM where the notes are math and I could work ahead and tune in if I got stuck.
That being said, handwritten notes are still definitely the way to go in math!
My one that I share with my mom is that jalapeños taste like mold. I don’t get it with other kinds of peppers, and vinegar will mask it so pickled jalapeño or hot sauces with it are usually okay. But it’s always just a bit there.
I’m sitting here cuddling with my infant son and I never want to go back to work. I’ll have to (so will my wife), and I hate that for both of us. But I definitely don’t want to.
Yeah, I think they’re confusing themselves a little bit. Which is unfortunate because it’s a pretty good system actually, it just counts 0-99 not 0-100 like they’re claiming.
OP used a word with a specific meaning. Someone pointed out that that word doesn’t apply here. You come in to say that we’re wrong for pointing out that word doesn’t apply and keep digging in to say why the word doesn’t mean what it means.
One of us is an ass for sure.
I’m aware. It’s also the one the tortoiseshell pattern (in general, not just for cats) is named for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoiseshell
And frankly, it doesn’t particularly matter what OP meant. Doesn’t make it correct. Tortoiseshell cat fur is a specific pattern.
This is just kinda obstinate though. Tortoiseshell in the context of cats obviously refers to the fur pattern. To assume otherwise is odd. And just because that’s the kind of tortoiseshell you’re thinking of doesn’t mean the pattern isn’t also named after a tortoiseshell.
Tortie is just shorthand for tortoiseshell, which the belly isn’t. She’s a very pretty cat, but words have meanings and she doesn’t have tortoiseshell pattern fur.
I’m not talking about breeds either. I’m talking about fur patterns. Breeds are cruel, fur patterns are just genetic expressions.
Yeah, “classic” or “marble” tabby pattern. Very pretty, but not tortoiseshell. My calico has tortoiseshell over most of her body.
Fuck summer and heat. Thermoregulation is impossible for me in the summer and I’m miserable, winter I can be cozy every single day.
Somehow everything the Democrats promise takes until very close to the cycle after they’re elected until they even talk about it. Then, of course, they need your votes again so they can do the thing they promised the first time. Then (Insert Needed # of Dems here) will have some problem with it so it falls through and Dems lose the next cycle because of some reason that is the voters’ fault.
Nah, fuck you. I have voted in every election I’ve been eligible for, and your stupid ad hominems are meaningless coming from someone who would rather take pleasure in your twisted idea if a high ground than actually discuss anything. I owe you nothing, if you want to discuss facts you bring them yourself.
Let me leave you with this: you, specifically you, have done more harm to American democracy in this conversation than anyone who decided to sit out any election in the last 10 years. Your defense of an organization that blatantly undermined democracy and even publicly admitted it is disgusting.
