I still remember getting shit on and downvoted when I used to say this guy was fake, and his hoodies and shorts were nothing but a smokescreen for the fact that hes a silver spoon nepo baby that shares no interests with the rest of us
I always looked at his hoody and shorts as laziness. He doesn't want to get dressed for his work. I think if he was advocating to change the dress code and doing it in protest it would actually be a good thing.
Instead he is just a lazy nepo baby man child that refuses to do the minimum for his chosen profession.
Thought the same, like its a basic dress code, he thinks hes Adam Sandler
Any dress code that isn't purely and solely for functional reasons can fuck right off anyway.
Sure he's a piece of shit but don't leave me with the strays.
Make every business dress code just comfy shorts and sandals. No more of this stuck up bullshit. Fuck collars, fuck the stick-up-your-butt uptightness.
There should've only ever been "comfy" and "safety", dress codes.
Name a good reason for anything else, I'll wait.
Don't home this "lazy" shit just because an evil idiot is comfy.
The first time I heard about him he was described as something along the lines of "a lib but had a good platform to run on." And then it was about Oz. But he listened to his supporters and won by sticking to his platform.
Which sucks all the more that he's made such a turn. There's no way to really prove it but I am convinced those strokes changed him.
I still stand by the choice that he was better than Oz.
marginally, sure. but given that choice....
it's time for him to go now though.
Personality change after stroke is a thing
I don't know how similar it is to a stroke but I suffered a TBI a little over 10 years ago, and while I can recall maybe being somewhat different I don't "feel" any different or discontinuity.
However, Those close to me on the other hand have noticed severe antisocial traits come out in me. Lying, stealing, and belligerent behavior that was never a part of my personality before are things I've had to identify, accept, and work on.
my hypothesis is that people who suffer TBI don't have an independent baseline to judge from, being stuck in our own heads, whereas externally people can compare you to your past behavior and notice change.
frame of reference
Good luck on your journey. ❤️
Yes this dude sucks. But I just saw in another thread where you lampooned people for being angry about the weak Democratic opposition. So which is it?
People can have more than one opinion isnt that crazy?
Sure, you canhave all the contradictory opinions you want.
Ah i get it, you think a person who criticized fetter man is not allowed to also criticize the American left. I understand now, you’re slow.
See if I said two opposing things about fetterman Thats a contradiction. When I’m speaking about different subjects, on different threads, with a different context, on different days, Thats not a contradictions. Thats you makin shit up
Say what you want. You pissed on others for calling out a weak democratic left opposition now your doing the same.
Doesn't matter if it's a different day and a different thread. What kind of stupid logic is that? A contradiction is still a contradiction.
Fetterman is not trumps opposition
That if definitely a fair point. Although I could also say the same about Schumer, just a better disguise.
Nobody is left enough for the left anymore. That’s why you guys all splintered into tiny groups of contradictions
The so called left is extremely right compared to 50 years ago. They keep moving to the right and now they keep losing. The left is further right than the right was 50 years ago. We're moving into fascism because the fake left can't grow a spine and represent what their supporters actually want.
Seems like you want more fascist supporting right wingers.
So basically “Trump is better and this is fine” Is what im hearing. Cause you guys focus so much on the shortcomings of the democrats that you let the right get away with murder as you refuse to oppose them
No. Get better progressives or things will slide further right.
There is actually a segment of the population that voted for Trump that would actually vote progressive if there were candidates that actually practiced what they preached and had some guts.
Yeah but Americans are all about how they would do A if only B was different, stop using that as an excuse and work with what you have not with what you wish
Also most people who complain about democrats take no part in primaries or local elections, they just sit around waiting for the party to pick a candidate without your input
No, they just rig the primaries like they did to Bernie in 2016. And then they wonder why people are fed up with them.
Then.. oh yeah. There was no primary in 2024. They rigged it again and annointed Kamala.
So you see. It's rigged. And people don't like it
I never understood the American left with their “get old white men out of politics now!” “VOTE BERNIE”
or “if you want us to vote Dem, put in anyone but the old white man as candidate” “here’s an educated younger black woman instead” “EEEW NO”
You guys are a barrel of contradictions. I personally want these things across the board, Bernie can advise but gtfo with this idea he should be president. Maybe 30 years ago. Anyways you guys need to pay attention and be loud long before you are, Bernie has been around forever and most of you had never heard of him prior to 2016. But you know al the latest celebrity gossip
Edit: before y’all think im conservative, I said AMERICAN left, compared to leftists around the world, Americans leftists are a twisted Americanized version of a leftist.
