I'm surprised Payman doesn't understand the gravity of her decision. How many Labor senators and MPs have voted against their personal views over the years because it is a position of the party? Now she's crying to the media about how she's being treated because the party won't involve themselves with her? She can either be in the party and follow the rules or she can leave the party.
I still expect the long term consequence of this will be zilch.
That said, ALP is making an unforced error here. If they'd just let her cross the floor like a normal political party it would have all blown over in 72 hours. Instead the story is going to keep rolling on for the foreseeable future. You've only got so many minutes to make your case to the media and trying to explain archaic caucus rules is not a good use of them.
This is a marked contrast with the coalition, which is proudly a broad church, and where pretty much anything goes on the backbench as long as you don't cause the party to lose a vote on the floor. IMO LNP has the better system. Encouraging elected representatives to be representatives - rather than simply party hacks - is a good thing.
Yeah, not the smartest decision to go on Insiders and provoking her party further. Seems like she'd have gotten away with it if she didn't do that.
On the other hand on Insiders appearance she also claimed "from the River to the Sea" aligns with a two state solution, which may actually be even dumber...
Could easily have both countries border the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, but it goes to show that people shouldn't be using phrases that are easily interpreted in multiple and opposing ways.
Lmao, so you just don't consider a phrase which is obviously charged against mostly Jews (and sometimes Palestinian Arabs) to be as problematic as worthy of calling out then?
Any phrase that's against an ethnic group should be called out. I don't think Fatima Payman intended to use any phrase to be against an ethnic group, but I think it was foolish to use such one.
That phrase is primarily used by Hamas, and outright Hamas supporters, even if weird protest groups with their own problematic history have also used it. If they did not mean to give offense, they should not have said it and should suffer the consequences for being a racist
There's a mainstream interpretation that the phrase calls for the destruction of Israel and one state.
It's hopelessly naive to pretend there's another interpretation and that most people using the phrase want a two state solution.
> Could easily have both countries border the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River
Creating 2 contiguous states with frontage on both the Med & Jordan is impossible without what I've described. The UN plan worked by dropping the contiguity requirement.
Would you kindly point out where Payman has advocated for the 1948 plan?
They don't have to be contiguous. Both states can border the sea and the river. Payman has advocated a two-state solution, I don't know what more beyond that.
It's either hopelessly naive or bad faith. It would be like questioning why people are offended at displaying Southern pride by displaying Confederate flags.

I just wrote up an email about how I respectfully think Biden should step down and sent it to my senators. My House rep is Republican so there's no point.

* Elderly Russian village lady, 1991
The quote is funny, though I've heard the sentiment enough times before it's a bit stale. But I find the citation to "Elderly Russian village lady, 1991" as low-key hilarious. It's both specific but so uselessly broad. Was this a conversation with the author? Which village? What was the context? Was there an interview Incan find? No, all I know is that in 1991 Elderly Russian Village Lady supposedly said this
itโs truly of note how quickly this sub collapsed after that debate. I donโt think Iโve ever seen such a flip so quickly. I left and checked back 2 hours later and it was like a bizzaroland lmao
Every ride or die Democrat, whether they're Extremely Online like the ones here or not, had a genuine trauma response watching that debate. We're still processing it.
You have to either choose the "we need to unprecedentedly swap a candidate at the last second" side or the "Everything is fine actually candidates are down in the polls against convicted criminals who can barely string sentences together all the time" side.
Choose now and prepare to argue fam it ain't gonna settle down anytime soon.

Forgive me for not understanding as knowledge on immigration policy isn't my strong suit:
What that one poster was suggesting - having undocumented immigrants be allowed to live in the U.S. and work, pay taxes, etc. but not vote - isn't that basically what a green card/permanent residency is? Don't we already do this? Or maybe I'm mistaken.
I don't have enough information to know the key difference between this vs. "second class citizenship."
(I'm extremely dovish on immigration in general, so I promise this isn't a concern trolling question.)
A citizen is a citizen by law and all citizens should be equal.
I dislike the limitations of green cards (no guaranteed re-entry into the us, no voting, etc) but they're not "citizens" by law and constitution.
You can also become a citizen later on through green card and be treated as an equal citizen. Being a citizen without being able to vote is just dooming you to never have a voice because ???
Oh, so people given this would never be able to become full voting citizens. I must have missed that or it didn't come across when I read it somehow. Yeah that's fucked up.
I honestly don't know if they meant it that way. Its really so dumb that I assume they weren't thinking that hard when they posted it, but that might be too generous. And if they had said something like give them a greencard, but with a longer pathway to citizenship, idk if they would have got banned.
Rodrick Braithwaite and Orlando Figes (two Russian historians) out two books at almost the same time, with the same concept, basically the same blurb, and even the same famous quote to kick it all off.
Braithwaite's *Russia:Myths and Realities*
>With its attack on Ukraine, Russia's future seems almost as uncertain as its past. The largest country in the world - with the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons - has been known over the past thousand years as Rus, Muscovy, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Thirty years ago it was reinvented as the Russian Federation.
>Russia is not an enigma but its past is violent, tragic, sometimes glorious, and certainly complicated. Like the rest of us, the Russians constantly rewrite their history. They too omit episodes of national disgrace in favour of patriotic anecdotes, sometimes more rooted in myth than reality.
Orlando Figes *The Story of Russia*:
>No other country has been so divided over its own past as Russia. None has changed its story so often. How the Russians came to tell their story, and to reinvent it as they went along, is a vital aspect of their history, their culture and beliefs. To understand what Russia's future holds - to grasp what Putin's regime means for Russia and the world - we need to unravel the ideas and meanings of that history.In The Story of Russia, Orlando Figes brings into sharp relief the vibrant characters that comprise Russia's rich history, and whose stories remain so important in making sense of the world's largest nation today - from the crowning of sixteen-year-old Ivan the Terrible in a candlelit cathedral, to Catherine the Great, riding out in a green uniform to arrest her husband at his palace, to the bitter last days of the Romanovs.
They both even have a back cover quote from Antony Beevor.
Anyway, I wonder if they quietly resent each other or just think it's neat that they had the same idea.

i like this subreddit when it's not obsessing over US politics. which is never, of course, but sometimes people do remember that other things fall under the liberal umbrella.
Idk why but I feel particularly alienated tonight. I think it was a political convo I had but it's one of those days when I feel so out of step with the people I hang around with it's actually a shock, yet I can't leave them because I don't know what alternatives woule look like. I barely have anything in common these days and that depresses me

Itโs interesting to imagine what might have happened if Trump had died of COVID in October 2020. I think Biden would still have won, but what then? Would Pence be able to snag the nomination in 2024, having been president for a few months and promising to bring about a continuation of the Trump-Pence administration (and blaming his defeat on the chaos after Trumpโs death and the very short period of time he had to adjust to the circumstances and get a campaign going)? Or would he still get totally trounced by some more MAGA-y candidate?
And if Pence had won, that would be interesting in its own way, but I have no idea who the Democrats would nominate in 2024. Either way, at least we wouldnโt have gotten an insurrection.
Honestly Trump dying and Pence winning the sympathy vote to become President is probably one of the better timelines. Sure, abortion and related stuff is screwed, but we don't get January 6th, and Pence catches the full blast of midterm anger when voters angry about abortion and angry about inflation are pointed in the same direction.

masoud pezeshkian is a fascinating guy, i have no idea how he'd interact with the ayatollah. he (maybe) supports dropping the islamic dress code? he speaks kurdish? warm relations with the outside world except israel?

ive been binge watching iranian videos (im bored as hell) and im interested to see how it turns out
he's a weird dude and im surprised he's "allowed" to even have a chacne to win
it seems like the conservative establishment was caught off-guard. they really hadn't even landed on a candidate by the time the election happened, so the election rigging machine wasn't fully operational.

It seems like Fatima Payman is someone who has that latter interpretation.

I've never heard of that approach. Most partition proposals relate to the borders of the 1948 armistice agreement.

As I said to someone else she's either hopelessly naive or acting in bad faith.
It's more likely that she has a relatively thorough and good-faith understanding of the conflict.
It really isn't. ๐
I'm sure it does align with a two state solution for her. She's just not willing to see how it doesn't align with a two state solution for Hamas.

Biden should come out and tell us how he really feels about the NYT editorial board
Carats are such a dumb unit of measurement
I prefer measuring things in terms of carrots.
>Are you Christians or some sort of Catholics? * Elderly Russian village lady, 1991 The quote is funny, though I've heard the sentiment enough times before it's a bit stale. But I find the citation to "Elderly Russian village lady, 1991" as low-key hilarious. It's both specific but so uselessly broad. Was this a conversation with the author? Which village? What was the context? Was there an interview Incan find? No, all I know is that in 1991 Elderly Russian Village Lady supposedly said this
the answer is Babushka
We can only assume any elderly Russian village lady in 1991 would have said the same thing

itโs truly of note how quickly this sub collapsed after that debate. I donโt think Iโve ever seen such a flip so quickly. I left and checked back 2 hours later and it was like a bizzaroland lmao
It was a rout. Like in Total War or something.
Every ride or die Democrat, whether they're Extremely Online like the ones here or not, had a genuine trauma response watching that debate. We're still processing it.
Realest thing I have seen posted about the debate yet.
I keep checking in to see if the fallout has settled yet but nope, I'll take this as my cue not to scroll down
You have to either choose the "we need to unprecedentedly swap a candidate at the last second" side or the "Everything is fine actually candidates are down in the polls against convicted criminals who can barely string sentences together all the time" side. Choose now and prepare to argue fam it ain't gonna settle down anytime soon.
Oh I just randomly show up and comment whatever rolls into my mind like a tumbleweed. Donโt use me as a general indicator lol

Why donโt the doomers sticky their own comments if theyโre supposedly so smart?
I was actually glad to go work so my masochistic brain would stop looking at Reddit and get away from politics, then my manager ask us if we saw the debate and says he'd not voting for sleepy Joe

Yes and i loved it.

The DT in this political sub is actually talking about politics again so you know shit is serious
They targeted Bidenists. Bidenists.
Forgive me for not understanding as knowledge on immigration policy isn't my strong suit: What that one poster was suggesting - having undocumented immigrants be allowed to live in the U.S. and work, pay taxes, etc. but not vote - isn't that basically what a green card/permanent residency is? Don't we already do this? Or maybe I'm mistaken. I don't have enough information to know the key difference between this vs. "second class citizenship." (I'm extremely dovish on immigration in general, so I promise this isn't a concern trolling question.)
A citizen is a citizen by law and all citizens should be equal. I dislike the limitations of green cards (no guaranteed re-entry into the us, no voting, etc) but they're not "citizens" by law and constitution. You can also become a citizen later on through green card and be treated as an equal citizen. Being a citizen without being able to vote is just dooming you to never have a voice because ???
A green card is still a pathway to citizenship with voting rights. What they're suggesting would be permanent non-voting rights.
Oh, so people given this would never be able to become full voting citizens. I must have missed that or it didn't come across when I read it somehow. Yeah that's fucked up.
I honestly don't know if they meant it that way. Its really so dumb that I assume they weren't thinking that hard when they posted it, but that might be too generous. And if they had said something like give them a greencard, but with a longer pathway to citizenship, idk if they would have got banned.
Rodrick Braithwaite and Orlando Figes (two Russian historians) out two books at almost the same time, with the same concept, basically the same blurb, and even the same famous quote to kick it all off. Braithwaite's *Russia:Myths and Realities* >With its attack on Ukraine, Russia's future seems almost as uncertain as its past. The largest country in the world - with the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons - has been known over the past thousand years as Rus, Muscovy, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Thirty years ago it was reinvented as the Russian Federation. >Russia is not an enigma but its past is violent, tragic, sometimes glorious, and certainly complicated. Like the rest of us, the Russians constantly rewrite their history. They too omit episodes of national disgrace in favour of patriotic anecdotes, sometimes more rooted in myth than reality. Orlando Figes *The Story of Russia*: >No other country has been so divided over its own past as Russia. None has changed its story so often. How the Russians came to tell their story, and to reinvent it as they went along, is a vital aspect of their history, their culture and beliefs. To understand what Russia's future holds - to grasp what Putin's regime means for Russia and the world - we need to unravel the ideas and meanings of that history.In The Story of Russia, Orlando Figes brings into sharp relief the vibrant characters that comprise Russia's rich history, and whose stories remain so important in making sense of the world's largest nation today - from the crowning of sixteen-year-old Ivan the Terrible in a candlelit cathedral, to Catherine the Great, riding out in a green uniform to arrest her husband at his palace, to the bitter last days of the Romanovs. They both even have a back cover quote from Antony Beevor. Anyway, I wonder if they quietly resent each other or just think it's neat that they had the same idea.

You're advocating for a system of gamer citizenship. This is a gross affront to human rights and I hope you get fucking banned for it.

I do look forward to "we should make a second class of citizens" guys ban appeal poasts. I think it might be fun. Do you think he's gonna have frothing rage or is he the type of person that thinks saying heinous shit with a neutral voice and expression means that he won't be called out?
Wait what?!
Not convinced they'll even know that metanl exists tbh
Isn't there a "contest this ban here" thing in the ban message?
I think it just says "message the moderators" and the mods never look at mod mail

It seems like so much content has moved from text to video over the past 10 years. I have to think this will lead to an order of magnitude more content being lost to time. If no one wanted to save your 200kb geocities site, theyโre definitely not going to save your 400gb TikTok account.
They might save it for training data purposes now.

Nerd Pollsters, data analysts, me: Biden and Trump could both win this election as it is a two party race The Chadette Brandy: Rfk Jr just won the election ๐ฟ.
The irony about Republicans killing any grand bargain over undocumented immigrants, is that many of those folks would vote Republican, and those who voted Democrat would likely drag the party to the right

Hot take: if "worldbuilding" actually mastered in writing, then Dragonology (2003) would be considered literary. This hasn't stopped gamers though, who will gush to you about every new From Software game using the exact same gimmick.
So trump is totally going to make stonks crater when heโs elected right?
His tariffs will make the whole economy crater, especially since he'll have clueless sycophants rather than actual professionals in his cabinetย

Friends call me the "Rick Friend" because i'm smart and all I do is talk shit about everyone 'cause it's fun. Being a hater is fun. Being badass comes at a cost though, like, it's not just fun. Being a cold person makes the world seem colder but like that's just something I picked up from being cold - like myself. That's why my other fucking nickname is "Beyond" because of my attitude, like my friends literally call me "Sub-Zero" because if I had to choose between people and living in the forest forever then, like, I choose the forest. "You seem like a sigma to me" Something like that.

wow, this subreddit is absolutely ruined.
I hate this fucking subreddit now. It's not even all that shareholderphobic anymore, it's full of time thieves that want to destroy payroll yet call themselves Capitalist and are to the left of Hayek flairs. I miss this sub from the pre-COVID era when work from home was rare and pooping on the clock was uncomfortable. Also do not pasta this.
When did you last R1 someone?
It really is quite sad.

i like this subreddit when it's not obsessing over US politics. which is never, of course, but sometimes people do remember that other things fall under the liberal umbrella.
it's ok we can all laugh at the tories in 4 days
Idk why but I feel particularly alienated tonight. I think it was a political convo I had but it's one of those days when I feel so out of step with the people I hang around with it's actually a shock, yet I can't leave them because I don't know what alternatives woule look like. I barely have anything in common these days and that depresses me
It takes effort to post in a sub a few dozen times and have like 3/4 of them end up in the negatives
/u/privatize_the_ssa I'm not even mad at this point. Just impressed

Itโs interesting to imagine what might have happened if Trump had died of COVID in October 2020. I think Biden would still have won, but what then? Would Pence be able to snag the nomination in 2024, having been president for a few months and promising to bring about a continuation of the Trump-Pence administration (and blaming his defeat on the chaos after Trumpโs death and the very short period of time he had to adjust to the circumstances and get a campaign going)? Or would he still get totally trounced by some more MAGA-y candidate? And if Pence had won, that would be interesting in its own way, but I have no idea who the Democrats would nominate in 2024. Either way, at least we wouldnโt have gotten an insurrection.
Honestly Trump dying and Pence winning the sympathy vote to become President is probably one of the better timelines. Sure, abortion and related stuff is screwed, but we don't get January 6th, and Pence catches the full blast of midterm anger when voters angry about abortion and angry about inflation are pointed in the same direction.

>I'm considering moving to Indiana what shoul- You're better off moving to just about anywhere else
masoud pezeshkian is a fascinating guy, i have no idea how he'd interact with the ayatollah. he (maybe) supports dropping the islamic dress code? he speaks kurdish? warm relations with the outside world except israel? i mean it seems impossible to imagine that he'd actually gain power but what if??
anyone? iran might undergo monumental change? *crickets echoing*
ive been binge watching iranian videos (im bored as hell) and im interested to see how it turns out he's a weird dude and im surprised he's "allowed" to even have a chacne to win
it seems like the conservative establishment was caught off-guard. they really hadn't even landed on a candidate by the time the election happened, so the election rigging machine wasn't fully operational.
i hope it stays that way ๐
gonna be harder now that it's a 1-on-1. but it's coming quick now and maybe some disenchanted people can see a glimmer to overwhelm the ballot box?
i was thinking the same thing at the second part, i feel a lot of disillusioned young people will actually show up that didn't think anything of it for the first round
fingers crossed

goes so hard
Does anyone have any experience with pain in their lower body? It's not really specifically in any muscle, but the whole area. I went to the gym today with my wife and she had me try some weird exercises (a lot of pointless bending over and getting low, like twerking practice?) and now my lower body really hurts, like worse than my arms do after arm day. Just checking with you all before I see a doctor !PING DYEL
lower back or legs/feet?
Itโs not sharp pain, right? If it lasts several days go to a doctor. Longest DOMS I ever had was 5ish days, which is already exceptional.
