This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

More of this and less of the resist nonsense. Presence is the answer, not resistance.

It is not your responsibility to change the world. It is your responsibility to show kindness, empathy and compassion. That’s how you can change the world. With yourself first. Imagine if 70 million people influenced just one person to be more kind. More informed. Now imagine if they all influenced

I just asked the missus if she fancied a takeaway tonight?
She said, Are you talking Chinese?.
I said, No, did it sound Chinese?.

On immigration, I'd go with "Republicans have spent decades making sure our immigration system stays broken as guys like Trump and Musk hired foreign workers rather than pay Americans fair wages. We need a fair system with a path to citizenship that billionaires can't rig."

Dualingo, I think you should say, "We" fell into the demotion zone. How about taking some responsibility.

For the love of all things holy, think of poor little Cindy Lou Who.
I hope, for the sake of all that is sacred & good, that you do not use Who-ville/ Grinch as symbolism or code for Maga-ville & Trump. Think of the gentle and whimsical Whos & what they did to promote the true spirit of Christmas. By contrast, the Whos didn't stand by Grinch, they transformed him.

As an American, "half a kilo of salmon" leaves me without a sense of how much fish your brother ate. My only point of reference is that, in the movies, i think that is a lot of heroin.

I pledged to myself I would not follow back any bot account pretending to be a real person. It's getting pretty hard to keep that promise.

There is no possible way to rationalize or conceptualize a billionaire's reality. They are different in every way imaginable. Like lions in human form, they are apex predators. No constraints or limits. They don't process right, wrong, good, bad, yes, no. Their brains simply don't work like ours.

An appreciation for Dave's understanding of the subjunctive mood of grammatical tense. I applaud you for paying attention in 6th grade English class.

Suggestion. Replace #resist in bios and posts with #represent or #lead. You see, Lincoln didn't resist the enslavers and traitors during the Civil War. He represented patriotism/righousness and lead the country to crush and defeat them.
