Thank you for saying this. You have people telling you the leadership is turning people off and your response is to blame those people for why your party is so unpopular. I think I better understand why Gen Z is actually more conservative than us millennials.

The Roman empire was putting to death many prophets and god incarnates. The innovation of the Jesus story was that he didn't stay dead, but he also conveniently didn't stick around.

There are about ~3000 billionaires. Or a billionaire every minute.

That is actually harder than what it has to do ATM to get the answer: write an RPC with JSON. It only needs to do two things: decide to use the calculator tool and paste the right tokens into the call.

Eating shit and not getting sick might be considered a skill, but beyond selling a yoga class, what use is it?

All that talk of businesses getting him to pullback was just wishful thinking?

I mean churches should be anticapitalist and before the turn of the last century they often were. But then property got expensive and churches would need loans... Now we have prosperity gospel and mega churches. The internet ran the same course but in just a couple decades.

Last century: whistling tones into the phone to get a free call

This century: faking an accent to get the police to respond

Wait, that sounds like the last century as well...

Oh man I have a story about an unhoused lady who has dementia. I walk my dog and sometimes she recognizes me, other times she has no idea. One of the days I was walking the dog and she forgot who I was and asked to pet my dog. She thought I was unhoused as well for some reason and told me about some good spots to sleep. These people know what it means to survive based on the kindness of others.

PS

Her name is Catalina, and sometimes I see her at church and she donated what little money she has. It sorta painful but then I remember how we treat her. We always have a place for her at our table to eat after the service. She's our neighbor as far as we're concerned.

Aside from the systemic reasons why the internet leans heavily right: when you deport people's neighbors then politics is no longer a sports game and even the nonvoters understand this.
