I mean, we’ve seen who this country elected over the course of the last 30 years. We know this kind of history just puts people to sleep.

Fair point
It’s not trolling. It’s history.
After the '94 Crime Bill, you can’t blame Biden. He’s done everything he possibly could to fill those prisons.
It’s astonishing.
The capitalists know full well we’re more productive working remotely, but their need for control has proven to be stronger than their insatiable greed anyway.
It’s been interesting this last week watching liberal people complain about age verification laws that don’t even exist yet, as if it isn’t an eminently good thing to keep social media out of the hands of kids.
You’re not wrong.
The only time we see Democrats pretend to be leftist is when they have no meaningful power to enact change. They’re conservatives in sheep’s clothing.
And they can’t afford to miss a day of work to vote, thanks to that other 60%.
Private prison stocks are a solid investment in the US specifically.
Hell, our judges sell people to the prison system.
Yeah, but those people don’t have the power to destroy the entire world when their brain short-circuits.
I also get hung up on the fact that the supposed good guy in the story drowned an entire planet.
It’s unavoidable.
Remember in 2016 when we learned 40,000,000 Americans couldn’t absorb an unexpected $400 expense without going further into debt? That number has almost certainly exploded since then, with the housing crises and massive inflation that America has been forced to endure. I doubt those people are going to forego a badly needed day’s pay to vote for one of these two assholes when the last eight years has reinforced emphatically how little they care about the poor and working class.
No they don’t.
They have an interest in keeping themselves rich, consequences be damned.
That’s a silver lining.
Biden looks like he’s on the verge of croaking, so maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a black, female fascist enabler instead of an old white male fascist enabler for once.
Because we’re ruled by the billionaire class, and they like giving us two useful idiots to choose from.
I dunno, man.
I’d say stop watching corporate media, because CNN is making a shit-ton of advertiser money off these charades, but people won’t.
I mean, you’d think the total inability to hide Biden and Trumps’ cognitive dysfunction, caught on camera many, many times over the last few years, and now live and in color, would be enough to get people to stop pretending that there’s a good option here. Hell, Biden’s handlers have been caught on camera making sure he doesn’t wander off, like they had for Feinstein before she died.
But then again, Americans have watched the gradual, but now inevitable, slide into fascism over the last 40 years and managed to convince themselves that all is well, provided the guy enabling it is wearing their preferred jersey, so I guess we’ll just chill and let Biden and Trumps’ unelected handlers rule the country.
It’s too bad you all didn’t vote for Williamson in the primary. It’s been clear neither of these two assholes are fit for a long time, just like it was clear Feinstein wasn’t fit when she was falling asleep in hearings.
What’s wild to me is how most news sources are reporting that the president’s rivals did their part by opting not to provide support to the coup attempt.
I think, if a bunch of armed rednecks attacked the White House, we wouldn’t see solidarity among rival factions in defending our seat of government.
As with bulletproof backpacks and multiple security doors in schools… another thing that shouldn’t exist in the first place, and it’s only necessary because dead kids aren’t enough for Americans to reconsider how convenient it is to kill people here.
Also a fair point.
