That's basically it.
It’s much like how people are too busy chasing some idealistic "right to live" while they're actually just scavenging through dumpsters for an extra soda or a discarded sandwich.

The video player is the same one I use for live streams. Honestly, it doesn't even matter if it's PBS Kids or whatever—this kind of thing happens all the time. For instance, when I'm watching something in BS Player, the quality just tanks compared to the actual movie file...
I think I managed to get the PDF right, but feel free to fix it if I messed up.
So, here’s the deal... I’ve got this old tablet lying around (can't remember the exact model) that has a micro HDMI output, so I have it hooked up to my TV. Since the screen is totally shattered, it basically just serves as a little media box for me to watch stuff on the big screen. The issue is, with certain videos, the picture just falls apart. For example, when I use the new PBS app, watching the live stream works fine, but if I try to watch anything from their video library, I either get audio only or the image is tiny and cropped weirdly.
I’ve tried switching between 1080p and 720p, but the problem persists. On top of that, everything gets blurry—text, the display, all of it. As soon as I exit the video, everything snaps back to HD.
It happens with a few other videos too, but I guess this is the clearest way I can explain it...
If the Poles were playing against a Spanish team this good, they’d be losing by five. Honestly, probably any other team fighting for those top eight spots too.
Let's be real, we didn't deserve to be in the semifinals. This whole thing feels like a bit of a fluke.
I guess I have to ask, when the Democratic Party first recruited Prgomet, why didn't Most react this aggressively? Why didn't they just go ahead and form a coalition with the Republican Party right then and there?
Did they suddenly develop all these principles out of nowhere? Maybe they just didn't have them back then.
Of course, that was exactly what their voters were banking on. If they’d just announced after a week that they were siding with the GOP, that would have been the end of it. They seem to think the GOP is actually a viable partner for pushing through reforms, I guess.
But instead, they came out swinging with the idea of a coalition government or calling for new elections, which honestly was the better move. So, what have we actually gained from the two of them?
Michelle Palmer6, they could have played the long game with a coalition government for as long as necessary, but they didn't. I mean, look at Belgium—they went two years without a functioning government, so why couldn't America do the same? Instead, they just folded under the pressure, proving they're no different from those two parties. They're essentially identical.
Ken, they didn't side with the Democratic Party just to go run to Kolinda so people could start attacking them. At the end of the day, they didn't reach any kind of agreement with the Democratic Party.
New elections didn't happen because Petrov probably realized he’d only scrape together a couple of seats, if he gets lucky enough to see another election at all. Honestly, if he’d called for new elections just a week after the last one, he might have actually picked up more seats, but waiting this long? Probably not. I guess my vote would have counted either way, but once they reached an agreement 🙄 with one of those coalitions, my influence vanished along with about 95% of everyone else's.
Personally, I don't much care whether it's the GOP or the Democratic Party, though I suppose I lean toward the Democrats, or at least the kind of perspectives the left should be representing.
As for them being a "corrective force," my ass. You know it as well as I do. They've basically become part of the furniture now. The general consensus seems to be that they just proved how impossible it is to maintain a third party in America, effectively killing any future chance for anyone else to try and pull a vote away from the big players.
Michelle Palmer6 said:Actually, they've been discussing all these matters for a month now, just like they did with the Democratic Party; they didn't just start yesterday! It's the exact same situation as when they were negotiating with the Democrats. On another note, it is absolutely fascinating to watch how Patrina suddenly transformed into some kind of prophet—suddenly wise and moral—when really, the guy sold himself out for cash the moment he realized there was another option on the table besides his own. Everything people accuse Petrov of is actually just the flip side of what Patrina is doing!
They’ve been negotiating with both sides for about six weeks now. I figured we’d end up with either a coalition government, which nobody really expected, or new elections, which is what I honestly thought would happen.
It wouldn't have mattered if they had just gone to see Kolinda with Milanović yesterday. Honestly, there isn't much difference between the Democratic Party and the GOP.
But the way Petrov basically spat in the face of his voters is just gross. He said one thing and did another, totally betraying the trust of almost everyone who voted for them.
The guy from yesterday wouldn't even budge an inch.
And Patrina is just a joke who jumped on the Democratic Party bandwagon the moment it suited him. Since the rest of the Bridge party stayed together despite being attacked by the media and both political sides, I really thought we were headed for new elections. I guess I was wrong.
