If you want to kill a whole lot of people, your police will suffer and eventually quit if you just have the execute people en mass. This happened to the Nazis and it’s the prime reason the gas chambers were constructed.

The police need to feel like they are doing the right thing.

They fought like the fight Trump. Sternly worded letters. Op eds. Speeches. Press conferences. Maybe a procedural vote or 2.

You must be really inspired by that energy.

Anyone could have run vrs Biden. That asswipe from Michigan did. I looked into his politics and decided I would rather have Biden.

Small in number. Bernie came close both times, but 40% of the primary voters is like 2% of the population.

I would remind you that Clinton was legit popular with dem primary voters. She nearly won vrs Barak Obama, historically charismatic candidate.

The rules for primaries are clear. Anyone can run in them if they get the signatures.

If you don’t like the candidates that’s fine but Democrats individually decided not to run against Biden.

The party can’t stop them.

Middle age progressives have been pissed off since 2009 or so, when Congress scraped the public option from the ACA. We won a few victories (yay marriage equality) but the ghouls can lie, like they lied about keeping roe. So they will keep winning until they are met with honest people willing to change the system.

Socialism or lose.

You have been playing too much rainbow six. There are no good guys in the halls of power looking after us.

There are only the rich fucks over here and the rich fucks over there pulling the levers of power.

It’s the only rational course of action we have left for them. They would be insane not to try. I don’t know if they will succeed. Mosad seems all powerful, but they will certainly try.

Madman? He knew exactly what he was doing. He’s a maga murderer.

The church is large and complex and run by many different people. It has been a force for good and evil all along.

If they spent half as much time monitoring wmright wing murderers as they do peaceful left wing movements, the country would be a lot safer.

What do you think they should do? Go to Minnesota and wack two Republicans to balance the legislature back out?

It’s terrifying in many ways.

Millennial, briefly experienced a life with limited access to information.

You are capable of more than you think. You wrote phone numbers down and memorized your own. You memorized the ones you used regularly. I had 7-8 friends and family numbers memorized.

You also only needed one phone number per household.

When you needed to know something like how to fix a car or replace a light bulb you asked someone. Often An uncle, aunt, or cousin. If nobody in your friends/family group knew, you went to the library.

Yellow pages and magazines and instruction manuals were constantly floating around with information. I never felt deprived of curiosity. I read a lot.

Hope she feels good about providing a meal to a face-eating leopard.

I wasn’t banned. I deleted my comment history with a script during the API fiasco.

When they started saying I shouldn’t exist.

You think they were paying a decent, livable wage?

“Though it’s also possible that public schools will close and only the wealthy kids will be well-educated… can we not, please?”

Trump and Republicans would like nothing more than to turn this country into another Russia where your kids have to pay through the nose go abroad to get a decent education.

Brave New World? No, the rulers aren’t that benevolent.

1984? Still no, they aren’t that competent.

We are heading for fareinheit 451.
