The speed limit for cars was not the same as horses

Apparently they kept a lot out of early access.

Like, I was disappointed every character was treated the same by npcs, but that was because they wanted to keep some part of act 1 fresh for release.

Back in the day streets were for people...

Horses were slow and wouldn't run over someone, so it's less like driving down an empty street and more like driving through a children's playground

So...

You think the national party decided to lie about Manchin so that he could obstruct them...

And the goal was to make sure Manchin gets elected again, so he can continue not supporting the party?

I can't tell if you didn't read my whole comment, or just didn't understand it...

Especially with vote bots.

It's going to be mostly bots voting against each other

Lemmy is better on web than kbin.

But kbin lets you block entire instances as a user, which is worth the tradeoff for me.

There was a couple instances I just didn't want to see and blocking them by community was like whack a mole

Yep.

Never criticizing your own party is how the republican party became what they are today.

We might not be able to change that, but we can try to prevent it from happening to the only other option in general elections.

The issue is turnout.

I always vote, because I'm lucky enough to get paid time off work for it and little to no wait time.

Some people have to take a day off work and wait 4-8 hours in line.

We could sit around and complain about nonvoters, or we can try to increase voter engagement. But the party needs to make that choice too, and they're not really great at the second option.

His first two years were held hostage by Manchin and Sinema

Yeah, but during the Georgia runoffs, Biden and party leaders kept encouraging people across the country to donate by saying "50 is enough to pass the party platform".

So either they had no idea Sinema or Manchin would obstruct, or they knew it and lied to voters.

So trying to blame those two now makes the party look inept at best

If young people were more active in politics, we wouldn't be running "moderates" in their 70s...

So Dem party leaders try to walk a fine line between motivating the youth vote enough to beat republicans in the general, but not enough that they vote in the primary.

It's why we still get republican presidents some times.

Yeah, I've been on 3 Lemmy instances and now kbin in like 3 weeks

Finding out kbin let you block a whole instances instead of just communities was enough to warrant a new account
