She will most likely not be a great president, but could be a good one. If Biden wasn't so poor on the Middle East, he would have been a great one, from a policy perspective.

[–] Rakonat 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Biden never was going to be a great president, lacking a a majority in both houses means you burn up too much political capital to get anything done that doesn't already have broad bipartisan support. And with how divided politics is today compared to any point in history where we had a great president, there is no such thing as bipartisan today.

Yeah, passing the new deal in the McCarthy era was cake.

[–] Rakonat 6 points 1 hour ago

... The new deal was passed 10 years before the McCarthy era. FDR was dead before McCarthy even started his red scare.

And supported labor better.

"Voting for the Lesser Evil is still Evil"

Makes sense.

I throw out all my old uneaten perfectly edible still in the packaging food that hasn't expired yet instead of donating it to a local food bank because if I can't give the nutrition-insecure folks a gourmet dinner, why should I even fucking bother?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

We're talking about evil, it'd be you have moldy chicken or moldy potatoes to eat, which is less likely to kill you if you eat it?

Too god damn true. That's mainly why I voted for Harris on my main-in ballot. She's not Trump, that's the primary reason.

[–] lennybird 26 points 10 hours ago

Yep. She's not my ideal candidate, but she is better in every single way when compared to Trump.

Since it's easier to break things than to maintain, fix, or create, the choice is obvious.

A ham sandwich can be eaten. Eating is good. That's 1 pt ham sandwich, 0 gop. Ham sandwich does more for Americans than gop.

The rich can also be eaten.

I'm gonna need a bigger smoker.

"Objectively" is such a fun way to describe what will always be a divisive position of power. Was any one president considered objectively good?

Well, Al Gore was voted president, and he didn't make any objectionable decisions while George Bush was living in his house and working in his office.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 minutes ago

I do wonder what the world would look like if Al Gore had been president.

George S. Washington

Grant's administration was deeply imperfect - corruption ran deep - but he eradicated the first KKK. I feel like that's an objective good, and anyone who disagrees isn't worth listening to.

Don’t worry, voters will definitely hand both houses to the Republicans in 2026 if she’s elected and they’ll take their orders directly from Trump.

Because that’s what always happens.

[–] Stovetop 59 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (3 children)

I just hope Trump is dead by 2026.

There could always be some other MAGA asshole to fill the void, but the dissolution of Trump's cult of personality would be a crippling blow.

That's not what happened in 2022, at least not quite. Don't underestimate Trump's ability to insert himself and mess up whatever easy wins the GOP would otherwise have.

Do people really put the veggies underneath the cheese and the meat? Have I been sandwiching wrong my whole life?

[–] RedAggroBest 7 points 10 hours ago

Same with a burger. Your lettuce should be dry (pat it with a paper towel if you must) and put it as the bottom layer. This creates a moisture barrier that stops your bread/bun from turning into a soggy mess.

On a sandwich, the cheese should be on the other side for the same reason. Keep all the wet stuff from turning your bread into slop.
