They can earn our vote by literally doing ANYTHING that actually materially benefits marginalized people or workers.

You mean like gun safety legislation (biggest in 30 years which unfortunately doesn't say much), inflation reduction and infrastructure measures, repealing DOMA, or taking steps against systemic racism?

I agree, none of it is enough, and honestly he probably does too. You can guess that based on other things he's tried to do and been stopped, like student loan relief. That's a great example because while it was blocked by Republicans, he's been taking other avenues to get some out there at least. That demonstrates it's not just demonstrative efforts, which is a popular argument when that kinda thing happens.

But I get it. I'm no big fan of Biden myself. Then again, you didn't say he's not doing enough. You said "literally ANYTHING". It's right there in your comment and quoted at the top of this one.

Now since we've demonstrated he's done more than literally anything, were you uninformed and will now change your stance, or were you a liar? If you were a liar did you already know that he'd done those things, or are you just not willing to stick to the criteria you yourself established?

That's not necessarily wrong, but it's a dangerous precedent. How many people throughout history have done terrible things to be able to provide for their family? At what point does it become immoral not to take a stand?

What kind of monster are you? Do you also prefer beardless Riker? Geordie at Conn? Jellico?

You two should probably not date

...or fuck

Except in this case others have already tried the same thing with results going from success to death. It's not unique but it is uncommon. This would speak against it as the "best way".

It's hard to convince someone bigoted against you to be your friend. If they won't be your friend the whole concept fails. This shouldn't need to be stated.

Often bigots closest friends are also bigots. Again causing issue. If one close friend points out your shortcomings but the others tell you they aren't shortcomings at all it's much easier to stick with your comfort zone, as it almost always is. Repeated efforts here cause a friendship to falter, which goes back to what was suggested in the first place, separation.

Friendship works on someone open to it working. Whether they already have that friend or not. You can't force someone to accept something they don't want to hear, which is probably the problem you're having accepting the flaws in your own point of view despite the ways they have been pointed out in other's comments.

From what I'd read in to, you're substituting "best way" for "most moral way" without considering that morality is not a standard. To many reducing harm to the masses is far more moral than making friends with bigots. They can, and must, choose to step outside their bigotry in order to leave it behind. Until then they can deal with being on the fringes.

We can read the same words and take something different from them. That reads to me like he was able to pretty easily dismiss the temptation. Maybe he would've been tempted like Boromir was, maybe he would've had the resolve of Frodo, maybe he could've held it for much longer like Bilbo.

His Hobbit-sense saved him there. The only one who can tell us with certainly where it lies in relation to Frodo is no longer able to.

Season two also isn't the greatest. But its got some solid stories that do affect things later.
