Lost my main account when theybgot rid of third party apps, that account was banned from news subreddits for calling g chuds fascists and dumbasses so now every new account gets suspended for “ban evaison” so now it’s basically just a lib take aggregator I can’t interact with
Was gonna say ah yes the Russian army, famously I’ll equipped for winter defenses.
Ukraine already complaining that Russia is cheating by using at Mines on their tanks, I’m sure covering them in snow will make it easier.
In high school my graduating class was 38. The one before us was 21, the one after 18.
Coincidently there was a massive blizzard that snowed everybody into their house for a week about 9 months before my birthday.
For a country that harps on about personal responsibility we sure do blame everybody but ourselves for the fact posting racist Facebook memes is an effective way to influence the beliefs of 60% of this country.
“Republicans are at worst annoyed” – read what Pence has to say about that, alongside GOP senators + congresspeople who were cowering next to Democrats, wondering if that day was going to be their last.
And then when asked he said he’d still vote for hum if he was the candidate.
Im not sure how you haven’t figured out to recognize performative outrage from republicans at this point.
I like your idea of incorporating clown technology. Maybe we can invest in giant turnkey technology so you have to get out and rewind your car every couple minutes.
And you have to have at least 14 passengers in it.
I live in a super rural area and would have an almost impossible time working, buying groceries or getting medical care without a car and even I think the vast majority of the arguments against this are dumb as fuck and the epitome of car brained.
Also lowering it from 30 to 20 realistically means people will now drive 30 instead of 40.
Literally the “more people will die but others will get to work faster, raising productivity” argument
Lower speeds gets better gas mileage.
Lower speeds means spreading out when people arrive, improving traffic.
The concept of more velocity being equal to more force is a pretty simple and fundamental concept in physics (if you really want to be a pedant the force required to overcome the decelerative forces to maintain a constant velocity at higher speeds)
Too bad they can’t just complain about people doing something instead of nothing on the internet like you.
Cars are allowed but you have to get the horn replaced with a clip of somebody sarcastically saying “ohhh look at me I think I’m so much more important than everybody else”
Right but all those other things get shit down immediately, its just the harm reduction argument again.
If the options are do nothing, elect the fascists who want to murder Trans people, or elect useless libs who aren’t actively calling for the execution of trams people seems like one of those options is preferable even if still shitty.
So I guess I’d turn the question around, what are the better alternatives to shut this shit down at this point.
Again not arguing that anybody should feel like voting for libs is gonna solve anything but if it means the people literally explicitly calling for violence against minorities have slightly less direct access to governmental power that seems like the least worst option available at this point.
Web be fucked if they ever figure out that Islam is a right wing ideology but absolutely fucking not do republicans support Muslims.
The only time they’ve ever pretended to care about lgbtq people is when they could use it to attack Islam (while conveniently giving Christianity a pass)
Yea I’m basically at the point where I don’t think things will get better under a democrat but a lot of people far more vulnerable to fascists then me have talked about preferring to not have the president using them as a scapegoat everyday.
Although as somebody who lives in the boonies all the chuds around me get way more fired up and antagonistic when there’s a dem president. There’s a shitload of flags telling me to go fuck myself on the way to work and the numbers increased in the last couple years.
Although it has been interesting to take the temperature of your average chud by checking to see if the one trump/ DeSantis flag is still up.
I’m not going to lecture anybody on voting for dems but the bar is so low that “what are they gonna do to stop the rise of fascism” they aren’t going to pardon all of them and embolden them. I don’t think they’ll ever do anything to really meaningfully oppose them but not pardoning them and showing people there’s literally no consequences from it is the least most bad option.
It’s just a way tonpremptively discredit anybody criticizing capitalism.
Oh, you think socialism is good, well then why dont you willingly make yourself destitute, ensuring you can’t have any impact on anything.
Liberals aren’t even pretending to have beliefs or morals anymore.
Feinstein and McConnel are both too old, but we can’t get rid of Feinstein because republicans won’t let dems appoint somebody to the judiciary committe (maybe shouldn’t have put an 85 year old in clear mental decline on that committee)
Biden really old and 80% of thencountry doesn’t want him to run, but we can’t give up the incumbent advantage.
They identify problems but then have an excuse for why they can’t actually do anything about those problems and most of the time the excuse is “our political opponents won’t help us solve problems we created for ourselves”
Yea bigots generally aren’t shameful about their bigotry they just usually try to tap dance around the word bigot, good for you for being honest I guess.
Love to tacitly admit I can’t have a conversation if the other person points out things like “why what I said was wrong”
By not conrinuing to support and fund them.
By doing literally anything.
But anytime anybody says that we get a lecture on how dems have to keep supporting him otherwise he’d do the exact same things as a republican.
