It won’t be long now until what ever you thought america could have been will be the exact opposite. Watching the missiles rain down on Isreal today is a reminder that people want that for us here in the states. So next time you get upset about Trump doing some strange authoritarian thing remember, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Russia, China, Saudia Arabia etc. won’t stop attacking the foundation of our democracy and the Republicans will continue to let them. Republicans want to rule the ashes.

A war in the states is a win for authoritarianism. Destabilizing this country, is empowering others.

The hold outs for these sites are so fucking dumb. They act like social media is somehow an important part of their existence when just 10, 20 years ago it was an emerging technology. These early iterations of social media are toxic as fuck. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They don’t deserve your patronage and are taking your goodwill and turning it into social decay.

10-20 years and you people can’t give it up for something better. There is no argument. You don’t owe them loyalty. They aren’t innovating. They have contributed to the rise of authoritarianism.

Yeesh.

I can’t believe it! He was right!

For sure. How many times has the end is nigh reared it’s head in the last 40yrs

I’m trying man but all I see is hate and fear win. Like just now I was thinking we know trumps going to make another authoritarian grab for power. No matter the results. I know they put some protections in if he loses and they seem pretty decent.

What about if he wins, though?

He’s signaled his intent should we not warn our citizens about what to do when certain things happen?

When Trump exercises the new powers that the supreme court granted him, what should the people do?

When Trump expels anyone not loyal to him from the government? What do we do?

When he opens concentration camps to round up immigrants, what should we be doing?

It’s all but too late but how stupid it would be if the DNC left it all up to chance.

He does this shit all the time. He will greatly exaggerate something then the media blows it up and then his press people redress it with some story tangentially related. Don’t feed into it. It’s a cheap, gotcha.

He is dumb. Let him sound dumb.

If you mother fuckers are not at absolute zero by now.

No, he is talking about a faucet because he doesn’t understand any of it. There is no faucet. He’s dumb. Move on.

Let him. Why should we do the intellectual work of disassembling his bullshit only so the campaign can come back with what they actually mean. Just let him sound stupid.

it is wasteful for me to discuss with you if you cannot see any value in the vote

Apologies

It’s pessimistic but it does help calibrate you on what to be grateful for. Say, somehow, we are on the brink of a utopia and we just don’t know it. Except the people today won’t be alive to experience it. For us, this would be as good as it gets.

That one article claiming to have cured a person with type I diabetes. I don’t really put stock into it but at one point HIV was thought to be incurable and they made breakthroughs like this, one at a time.

I’ll go. One thing that always gives me pause is crime rates are way down in the US.

Tim has come out guns blazing. I’d let him go head to head against Vance with no fact checks. I just wish they’d get rid of the moderators, though, if they aren’t going to moderate.

Just put a jar between them and they can pull a card if the discussion dies down.

Mayor of New York seems like a pit trap. I admire the city from afar but any meaningful way of making it better will be met with red tape, corruption, and mob like fuckery.

She better up her time line then. 20-30 years as a conservative punching bag will leave her so entangled in the media machine it will bury her.

And God said it should be painful! That’s what you get for wanting to know stuff!

Can’t wait for Putins youtube. He’s got some killer tips on how to pick up women.

What good is a revolution where the cost is human life with no guarantee of victory?

No one is arguing the voting booth is the perfect. My only argument is, if you is you want to win, you have to win on all fronts. You have to have a strategy, not just a dream. Even if the US were to escalate to violent revolution, who is it you want at the helm of the US military when the fighting breaks out?

No, it is wasteful for me to discuss with you if you cannot see any value in the vote. It is delusional of me to discuss with you if you think a revolution comes down to the villagers simply picking up pitchforks.

Zoro would like a word.
