  • That’s cool because Trump stance was even more extreme, but since he’s saying insane things every minute, no one batted an eye. But Harris had to be perfect. How do you even reconcile what you say with the reality you have in front of you.

    Trump said in no uncertain terms that he would back Israel, he’s confirming it today and you still spout that “both sides” inane shit.

    What more do you need to admit that your point is bullshit.

    With Harris, there was a sliver of hope that there could be change and with Trump it was sure that Israel would do whatever it wanted. You look at that shitty situation all around, and you still think Harris was the worst choice versus the openly fascist dictator?

    There is no sane universe where you can defend that point of view, yet here we are.

    Palestine is fucked, good luck Ukraine, and fuck any American that isn’t white, Christian and straight I guess. But hey, both sides, right?



  • I’d say Republicans are good at saying thing that appeal to human emotions, not talking.

    To hell if they really go through what they promise. And they will take credit for things they have no parts in because it riles up their base.

    I mean, what was Trump platform exactly? The concept of a plan. Same as Doug Ford.

    Still, they were elected.

    At this point, the Democrats saving grace would be to go more left and proposing actual progressive programs and ditch the status quo. But the brass of the DNC don’t have the interest of the people first.

    I disagree that the left is bad at talking, it’s the North American culture that sucks at dealing with confrontation and dealing with things they disagree with. Any once of heated debate is too much and is seen as a big conflict instead of a healthy thing. So instead, any disagreement is automatically brought to the extreme because it is taken personally.

    Anyways, this is a complex subject and there are many things that needs to be done differently.







  • Because of FPTP, that means that the GOP will have the presidency for a long time because the Democrats vote would be split.

    And if that is the case, you can be sure that no voting reform will happen, bringing back the two party system.

    It’s the natural evolution of FPTP system.

    The best case scenario would be for the Democratic party to prop up a political reform as one of their main issue, in the hope that the voters will give them the presidency, senate and house to do just that.

    But the DNC would have to follow through will all of that if they get to that point, which probably won’t happen.

    So yeah, it looks bleak no matter how you look at it.

    This is all excuses. The fact that Trump made it all the way as the primary candidate for the GOP means that Republicans were okay with what he said and what he did.

    For a normal person, it shouldn’t even take a second to choose Harris. But this isn’t the case. Trump won the popular vote and the presidency despite all the crazy shit because a sizeable part of the citizens voted him in regardless of the reason.

    And not only that, but Republicans won the senate and well on their way to win the house.

    It is about to get real bad, and Americans have themselves to blame for that.



  • Yes, but San Marzano tomatoes that are sweeter are still only 3g of sugar per 100g, and 2g of net carbs per 100g.

    And if you make a mirepoix for your sauce, the sugars in onions and carrots are higher.

    So for people that are afraid of sugar, a sauce made with tomatoes, carrots, onions and celery isn’t as scary as adding sugar.

    And the acidity isn’t considered as well. From experience, they are less acidic as well, so you don’t need to add sugar to mask that.
