I checked the profile too. Today I learned that being pro Palestine and posting food pictures is a far right government plot to make the Biden administration look bad.

In your mind a government actor would be speaking out against the government's actions? You alright?

Pence was Trump's last Vice President. His politics are as bad as any other republican, but he did the bare minimum of admitting to losing the last election and didn't take part in any of the election overthrowing funny business.

You're so right and smart. On that note it's weird that nobody wants the US to bomb their own schools when an active shooter is holding up there.
Level the whole school. That will prevent future shooters.

On the bright side, the friends you do have probably wouldn't expel a kid for finger guns.

My responses were brief. I should be more clear and less of a dick. I'm sorry for that.

As I said earlier in the thread that you didn't read or didnt understand, "The politically adept way to answer protesters with a substantial base of support that you don't want to alienate is to say, 'I hear you.'"
If she wants their votes she needs policy and actions that will win those votes.

It's a protest at a press conference. When protesting its beneficial to take your message to the press and politicians. I'm not claiming it was their turn to speak because the entire point of a protest is taking a stand and making your voice heard even if it isn't convenient.
Historically effective protest movements weren't convenient for politicians.
I'm sorry, I had no idea this concept could be so alien to anybody.

Protests are not effective if they can be ignored. THE ENTIRE POINT IS THAT IT ISN'T THEIR TURN TO SPEAK.
Edit: The politically adept way to answer protesters with a substantial base of support that you don't want to alienate is to say, "I hear you."

It likely is, but she most recently used the same phrase to shutdown pro-palestine protestors at a rally.

Describing people begging for a genocide to stop as just having hurt feelings and being impatient is a wild approach.
Protests aren't supposed to be silent. That's the entire point and the only way to get anything done. If Harris was already campaigning on a ceasefire they would have nothing to protest about and she wouldn't be interrupted. These are constituents making their voices heard.

"I'm speaking."
She has used this multiple times, but most recently it was to shut down people protesting the genocide of palestinians.
Edit: Who's downvoting my factual and verifiable answer to their question?

I thought it was just his normal guy vibe without the shooting glasses. Pretty sure the hand in the pocket is common and I haven't heard anything about a hilarious back story.
Edit: I was taking a walk on one of my lunch breaks in Novemember and saw this big guy. I wasn't able to find out the type of spider. My best guest is that it's an orange one.
To improve participation I'd like to encourage people to share past stories of things they're proud of. This also includes Fridge-worthy accomplishments of others. Currently this community doesn't have a problem with spam and I think those sorts of posts are still in the spirit of the community.
I encourage you to share a story of something you did or made! If it made you happy then we're here to celebrate it. Nothing is too small to be worth posting. Do you feel like you would be bragging or showing off? GOOD! It's okay to be proud of yourself.
I'm not very good yet and it's not a crazy achievement, but it's a milestone I'm proud of. I started climbing about a year ago and I've been progressing slowly, but steadily.
I want to help get the ball rolling in this community. I sketched this yesterday and thought it was neat.
Lemmy has encouraged me to do more than just lurk.
