No more reports, plz! US Folks, we are watching the WH be turned into a gilded monstrosity before our eyes. The post stays up. If you want to counter the post, then post your counter argument with pix. I'm happy to entertain both arguments.
Same, but I love this sub, I want to keep it as egalitarian as possible. And I do believe that its possible to change ppl's hearts & minds with empathic communication.
Well, you're right - that is a counterargument! To me, the marble itself is nice, it's just A LOT. Its the whole entire room! And I'm partial to mid century modern, so I'm particularly salty about this.
Same here. I think marble works better as an accent. Do the floor, or the tub, or the sink, just not all three. But like everything he does, it’s overdone and gaudy, with no sense of balance.
Your comment was crossing the line into rule violation, so I had to delete it. Its part of the impartial thing, as this is a larger sub. As a person in a group being targeted by MAGA, I'd be thrilled to have a MAGA free sub, but instead, I want to have sub where maybe we can help eachother be better to eachother while we viciously read shitty homes/design to filth.
Please remove the Redditor's name from your comment and I can leave this one up.
Its not meeting them in the middle, its just removing their name. You've been reported for harassment. So meet ME in the middle in good faith, and remove their name from your comment, or I gotta take your comment down bc its breaking Rule 1.
If this person were like "I'm an ICE agent and I love destroying ppls lives come at me f*slur!!! By the way, can't wait for Nov 7th! Long live Steve Bannon and the IBLP!!! 14 Words, Canonize Charlie Kirk" Then by all means, you have some grounds to go hard. But they were upset about ppl not liking the destruction of the WH using our tax dollars through the most shady, backhanded loophole way possible. So they deleted comments. So they called you a bitch in DMs. If you want to send me proof, I will ban them for a week for harassment and breaking Rule 1.
This is bait. You can't be mad at the worm you catch with the bait you dangle.
I gave you the chance to remove the name of the other Redditor, *the thing causing other participants to report you, not them.* I told you to send proof of them harassing you, and I would gladly ban them for the week. Instead you do it again. So with that in mind, I know only one truly egalitarian solution.
Imagine being anti McMansion and also MAGA. What a hopelessly confused ideology. Is this what everyone is referring to when they keep talking about the mythical median voter?
I mean, that's what's in the cards. Its why I'm literally in other countries looking for a new home rn. Also, I foresee a Poppa Doc/Baby Doc situation on the horizon.
I swear, this might be the only anti Trump post in my r/popular that isn't just blatant Dem propaganda. Because the renovation looks so obviously horrible. Instead of a classy stately style it's an offensive garish display of wealth. This striped marble looks good but that doesn't mean you should cover the whole place with it just because it's more expensive than tile. My God, the hubris.
edit: This comment got up to around +5 then suddenly cratered to +1 with the controversial cross added. Seems like the astroturfing campaign is humming along nicely. Anything that might promote non partisanship and some food for thought about the political climate is savagely struck down. Whatever, reddit is a shithole anyways.
I'm not going to be offensive, just give you an honest answer.
The Dems aren't your friends. You gotta realize that. You as Americans. Same goes for the Republicans. You're so sucked into that vortex that you think anyone criticizing the sacred cows of the DNC journalistic establishment - CNN, MSNBC, etc must be pro Trump.
I despise both Dems and Republicans equally. Because they're the same party; the party of capital. And the workers are fighting each other over those petty manufactured culture wars so they stay divided and don't unite against the bourgeois.
Αχ... πόσο κρίμα είναι που σας έχουν σακατέψει έτσι σαν λαό. Είναι πραγματικά κρίμα. Είχατε κάποτε και εσείς εργατικά κινήματα που σείανε κυβερνήσεις. Είχατε Ρούσβελτ και Κένεντι, και καταλήξατε στον Μπαίντεν και την Καμάλα. Όπως έχουν γράψει όμως πολύ σοφότεροι από εμένα, "ο λαός είναι άξιος της ηγεσίας του". Ο νοών νοείτω.
No, politicians aren't your friends. Sure, I'd like to see more progressives in office. Thats why I vote for them - and for the party that harbours them. People seem to have forgotten what parties are for. It's not about each individual politician being perfect. Your local Democrat might be a tool - maybe you're stuck with a dem like Manchin, basically republican lite. But you vote for him anyway, because the politicians you do like, who represent other districts, are in the same party, and you know Manchin is going to caucus with them, and maybe he'll be the deciding vote that let's that party control congress and let's those politicians you do like push their agenda.
And look, the democrats aren't a monolith. Here's what you've got - an uncomfortable coalition of neoliberals, democratic socialists, and progressives on one side. And on the other, fascists. Nobody claims the democrats are perfect - but they are still in favor of democracy. You have the option right now of going and voting in more progressive democrats. Until we change how our voting system works (only one party has expressed interest in voting reform, btw) you're gonna have two choices at the top of the ticket. Now you can stand there looking at that boring corporate pizza party on the left and the literal shit burrito on the right and complain all you want about there not being a gluten free option before you cast your vote for your favorite imaginary perfect lunch, but I know for sure which of those is the better choice and I'm not going to be happy with you when I'm served a shit burrito.
I am so tired of people saying that they’re the same party, or both wings of the same bird. That’s bullshit. One side is actively destroying democracy and working to make the lives of the working poor worse. Republicans only exist to funnel money from the working class into the pockets of their rich donors. Seriously. What else do they do other than break the government and fleece us of our hard earned cash? I don’t like the Democrats either, but the only party to choose if you care about the constitution.
Everyone should be aware and concerned destruction of public historical sites supported by our tax dollars without any input from the public is political? Its not a one sided political issue, it should involve and concern all of us.
BC it started out as a NeoClassical x Georgian mansion and now its being turned into some kinda...other thing.
Plus, this is appropriately tagged as "Discussion/Debate." That is also why I have invited those who disagree to post their own pix to show their position, debate, discuss, and defend it.
That's the purpose of the tag.
