If he'd been the nominee they'd have had a much better chance of stopping Trump and fascism.

Alas, they don't want to stop Trump or fascism.

Fuck, it's so great to have you here as the only person in the planet to be able to timetravel and have that amazing 20/20 vision. You should use this powers for good and go back in time and kill Hitler or whatever.

If only I had the technology. I would make an Arya Stark List.

Respectfully, your behavior is what's killing the Democratic Party. Do you think this kind of tone and engagement attracts voters?

Given the Democrats' long history of picking the worst possible candidate at any given time, I'm genuinely confused as to how Harris landed on Waltz instead of Shapiro.

Alas, they don’t want to stop Trump or fascism.

Republicans move the country to the right. Democrats stop the county from rebpunding left. A beautiful political ratchet that's been marching us further and further towards full blown fascism since the Nixon Era.

I was legit shocked to learn that Walz championed free school lunches as governor.

Tim Walz is fucking killing it.

Ban THC but allow alcohol, tobacco, and guns?

BHA-HA-HA-HA!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

THC can let people have introspection of themselves and the world around them.

Alcohol is a downer than dumbs you down. And a lot of it can weigh you down for if you need to fight against something.

Tobacco is an upper that you can do with other tasks, and is addictive. Tobacco is heavy in use in red states and the military.

Guns can be aimed at anyone for any reason no matter the justification.

So if you're a government wanting to keep the working class poor, dumb, distracted, and needing to work for their fixes along with rent, food, anything medical, why give them acess to something that could break this?

Maybe I'm thinking too much on this.

I feel so bad for normal decent Texans. Their politicians are among the worst in the world. I can’t think of a single Texas Republican who doesn’t deserve the death penalty.

Texas has been GOP governed for almost thirty years.

The town of Uvalde overwhelmingly voted Republican immediately following their tragedy.

This is what they want. And what they're getting.

The situation tells us that there are very few decent Texans.

Even the most vile Southerners are polite in the company of others.

The situation tells us that there are very few decent Texans.

The state is comically gerrymandered and rigorously disenchrancised. We have majority black counties where a single voting location will have a seven hour queue, sky high incarceration rates intended to disenfranchise huge swaths of the public, and some of the most reactionary public TV and radio combined with the most poorly funded and badly administered education.

This is a controlled population. People will talk shit about Russia and North Korea. But Texas is running right along beside them.

Only question is how long until Texas fully embraces the kind of ethnic cleansing common to Israel.
