  • This is a very reasoned argument, I don’t understand the downvotes. Nothing said here is inflammatory or incorrect, it’s a pretty valid take on how Lemmy reacts to things they don’t want to be true, including legitimate criticisms of Harris. A lot of people seem to think anyone saying “but wait” means they’re for Trump, even if that’s not the case. I mean I get it, he was a disaster and it’s crazy the collective amnesia that half this country seems to have about it, Harris will assuredly be better than him, including with Gaza. It still doesn’t mean we should just unilaterally ban asking the Dems to do more, even if there are some that attempt to argue such things in bad faith.

    I will say “vote hard enough” could work if we actually did it, but only way may be to have auto registration at 18. But I agree, Dems need to stop courting the ever decreasing “undecideds” and actually represent something left of center-right.

    Voting is still valid though, a lot of us on the left seem to disdain voting as useless and only want to go with rhetoric, but it’s literally how MLKJ got the most done that was enforceable. Civil disobedience to get attention, million man marches to register the vote and getting people to the polls no matter what was in the way. If we ever actually did that maybe we could get some more lefty candidates on bigger stages.





  • This is plausible. That or it’s just a really cheap policy - no windstorm/hail damage is very much NOT normal for homeowners though, even so.

    The rest of this is pretty standard stuff and the fact that people seem angry/surprised by it speaks volumes to how little attention they’ve paid to their own policies. Read your paperwork y’all. It’s tedious, but you are also party to the insurance contract that you’re paying for. It can also help you find grey areas of coverage, and a grey area (ambiguous language) tends to work out well for the insured party (you, if you have insurance).
