Biden's ousting proves that the party donors control the party. They changed candidates because the donors didn't want him, and as soon as they changed the Party was showered with money.
Now certainly voter enthusiasm was part of that, but only tona certain extent. Donors aren't going to pull funding because Democrats join a bipartisan Muslim ban.
But by that logic there's no reason to ask millions of unqualified people to pick an expert and professional legislator.
You're creating an arbitrary professional difference between creation of legislation and interpretation of legislation, but that's ideological. When it comes down to it, by your logic, legislators should be chosen by an unbiased selection committee. That's where your antidemocratic logic leads.
There's a difference between swapping out Biden for an identical younger candidate and actually appealing to Muslims on this issue.
I think they'd rather help Republicans kill them.
Giving a shit about public health.
But you're also saying that Democrats will have to appeal to them if they withhold their votes. I don't think they do. Democrats could just write them off like they already do other groups.
Okay now you're contradicting yourself. It sounds like Democrats don't have to start appealing to Muslims. They'll just crank out propaganda and join Republicans in eradicating them. And what are they going to do? Vote Republican?
The problem with elected judges is undemocratic elections. Democracy fixes the problem.
I'm talking about liberals more broadly, not politicians. The angry mass of liberals might decide to get revenge, even if it isn't in the Democratic Party's interests.
Well, it successfully overthrew several governments and collapsed several countries. It accomplished something.
The problem, of course, is that there wasn't an organized revolutionary movement behind it. Spontaneous uprisings almost never work out for the better, we can't just overthrow the government and then expect things to naturally work themselves out.
The problematic politics of elected judges in the US come from its fucked electoral system. US elections, for most of its history, were undemocratic at their core... and they still aren't very democratic tbh
But the worst judges, today, are appointed.
Your conception of politics being only partisan is very narrow; partisanship in liberal democracy is mostly just kayfabe.
I'm really glad liberals are done respecting journalism. Now they get to be the ones seething at the lying fake news media.
Beans and rice cooked in diluted pineapple juice, with peppers, corn, and pineapple tidbits. Then your usual taco fixins (lettuce, onion, tomato, hot sauce) on a store-bought tortilla.
It's got onion and tomato and lettuce and cucumbers and jalapenos and bell peppers and smokey tvp and some spicy sauce ๐คค
The potatoes are mixed with fried tvp, peas, and carrots. The cauliflower are breaded and airfried, coated with a spicy buffalo barbecue sauce.
Miiiight have cooked a little too much tho ๐
Also here's an action shot
Carmelized onions and garlic, cubed potatoes, bell peppers, and egg substitute; topped with hot-sauce, with a cup of white chai on the side.
Just a simple chili made with four tomatoes, one onion, half a bell pepper, a three chipotles in abado sauce, a clove of garlic, a couple tbsp of chili powder, a tbsp of oil, and then topped with nooch and air fried kidney beans.
I think I'll spring for mango or pineapple next time.
Did you know soy sauce Top Ramen is vegan? Maruchan isn't so don't get em confused!
The greens are raw sweet peas and green onion.
I've been slowly adding more and more veggies through experimentation, but now I'm at the point where I either need to use bigger tortillas or just be more picky about which veggies I want ๐ this is the configuration I'm using right now, though in the summer I like to use avacado instead of sauce.
I heat the tortillas in a pan with a light coat of walnut oil and black pepper and assemble my fixins in the pan itself.
Sauce is also homemade! I save all the vinegar from pickled jalapenos and then mix that with equal parts coconut oil in a heated pan, then combine it with whatever seasoning I'm feeling like during that batch (rn I'm using nooche, though sometimes I go for an onion sauce or mustard). It's not super precise so there's no recipe, I've just got a feel from experimentation.
Also the fake-on bits are actually a cheap local veriety I've found. Basically just smoke and salt flavored crunchy soy chips.
Once I'm done, I pack up my chopped veggies to do this again in a couple days. I usually make four at a time every two days, and these are my pre-shift and mid-shift work meals. Served with a thicc pea protein chocolate drink.
Kidney beans and rice with taco seasoning, caramelized onion and garlic, and I found out I can get dried habaneros near me! Definitely growing those this year, I forgot how good they are (haven't had any since before the pandemic ๐ฅฒ )
Also that Perrona sauce is... okay. It's really sweat, throws off everything. Also not nearly as spicy as I was hoping! It's a cool color, you can't really tell but it's actually green, but it just didn't hurt me the way I like ๐
Pintos and white rice seasoned with cumin, cayenne, garlic, nooch, salt, msg, walnut oil, and then served with taco fixins on hard shells ๐ช
Can't wait for a hallucinating AI to report me for assault because I hugged someone in public.
