Democrats reject this guy, a worse candidate is put forward next. Seems like a stupid hill to die on. They’re going to appoint somebody.

Edit: I didn’t know he’d be confirmed anyway. If true, then I agree a Democratic rejection out of principle would have been a better statement.

I think there is some reason to believe she actually gives a shit.

Nah, women can. The Democrats just keep picking bad candidates. That’s all.

AOC is great, but probably still a bad candidate.

I would go with Taylor Swift. It’s about charisma and following, and at least some proven progressive credentials. She fits the counter-counter culture narrative perfectly.

If they listen to you, they will lose. But that’s a good thing, so I hope you’re right. Unlikely, but the worse Trump’s loss the better.

It’s a pretty good assumption. You’d have to be a complete shit popsicle to vote for someone worse on all the issues you care about, because the party that gives any fucks whatsoever isn’t doing enough.

Don’t forget who some of the investors are who helped Elon buy Twitter either. In case you missed the story.

It all depends who RFK takes votes from and in which states. RFK has some appeal to classical liberals who dabble in science denial, and I think they’ve long been part of Trump’s base bizarrely - so yeah, more votes for RFK is less votes for Trump now in most cases.

Good post. Insert maybe maybe meme!

Not my meme, but you’re right!

Fuck me, he doesn’t even care about the real risk Trump poses, not only to the US, but to the world. I don’t care if he’s done a few good things in his time, Biden’s literally going to hand the presidency back to this felonious fucking psychopathic liar.

I swear in 2016 I got blipped into an alternative dimension where eventually everything will be consumed by the langoliers

Edit: The US invented MRNA vaccines, and we get the piece of shit from The Apprentice to hold our nuclear codes, handed the baton by a senile old man asleep as the wheel.

Three US democratic party is fairly “conservative” relative to European social democracies. That’s all.

My understanding is that it was a Tumblr fad that became viral outside of Tumblr because it’s easy to recognize the absurdity, and it made a great target for ridiculing the woke (back when “woke” was a complement, and we just called this sort of thing being “politically correct”).

Point is, you can’t just impose new words on purpose. Language doesn’t work that way. It’s all about the viral memes taking off. So it’s always best to adapt existing language.

“They” is finally clicking in my mind as a singular gender neutral word, for example. It took a while, I have to admit.

“…for the auto industry” Did they just edit a clickbait ass title?

Disdain Trump, but shitty media isn’t helping.

When you’re a psychopath of one description or another, who knows what might motivate you?

Most of us normal people are content to be free to spend time with friends and family doing the things we love. Imagine if you couldn’t give a shit about that, and that’s basically the world’s most successful people.

Their lineages have spent recent human history honing capitalism to be the vessel for the freedom of their kind. Money buys you freedom from consequences most of the time. That shouldn’t be possible.

The internet opened up their world for us to see, and for a moment it looked like we might sieze control. Instead, we let ourselves be manipulates into thinking they do in fact give a shit, or at least if we tag along we’ll be winners too.

The names we know are the ones who court controversy for the thrill.

Elon Musk is an excellent example. Whatever talents he has are moot next to his moral insanity. All he cares about is having a legacy, and achieving the things he wants. He just pays lip service to any real altruism. I mean, he’s the last person who needs to preside over horrific working conditions. He even bans PPE because he doesn’t like bright colors.

Ironic how the reverse will never happen. Only the right-wing benefit from less people voting. It’s such a shit asymmetry.

That’s honestly just worse if true. How is this not criminal? He doesn’t go to jail unless the state is what he’s ripped off? You know, the one by the people for the people?

It may not apply to this case, but it certainly does apply in a wide way.

There is also this.

What, where?
