Because eating the rich will accomplish nothing if you don’t also change the underlying system that created them in the first place. And good luck getting everyone in the non-rich class to agree on what that change should look like.

I saw one place that seemed to say that the address approval poll was among those who watched it. Could be that those who were likely to disapprove didn’t watch it in the first place.

Funny thing about International Law. It only ever seems to apply when when someone has the will and the power to enforce it. Who has the power to enforce it if the US is the guilty party?

Gotta have an in-group and an out-group. Might as well have the most blindly obedient, and least critically thinking people as part of your in-group.

I switched to contacts when I got a job where I am required to wear safety glasses. Contacts + the normal plastic glasses is just easier to deal with than having to get and replace prescription safety glasses.

It’s about timing. Voicing the criticism as loudly as they were during the election, is the wrong time. During the general election it’s too late. Candidates and policies are set. All the criticism does at that point is get the fence sitters to stay home. The day after the election is the time to start getting loud. Make them well aware that midterm results depend on them listening. Start working on primaries. Find people running for office that actually do support your ideals more closely and work on getting them nominated.

Long story short, the election is just damage control. To force change, you got to put in the work in between elections.

Well, we can at least probably rule out nukes; Trump’s rich friends/handlers can’t really do anything with irradiated land.

The last administration ranged from ignoring them, to stern finger waving at Israel.

It can (and likely will) get so much worse.

I’m tired of responding to this stupid sentiment. Have fun on your moral high ground as the world burns around you.

Isn’t this just USPS? Or are they blocking DHL, FedEx, etc as well?

Gotta keep that military industry going somehow. Papa Putin said he’s not allowed to help Ukraine anymore.

Nobody is gleeful, as far as I’ve seen. Yeah everyone who told people that this is what was going to happen gets to say “I told you so” but they aren’t happy, they’re just pissed off in multiple directions now.

It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

Wait I need more details about this sandwich based political spectrum. What does it mean if I refuse to have a pulled pork sandwich without coleslaw on it?

The choices available were “not doing enough to stop it” and “actively participating”. In this instance, not voting was equivalent to choosing the latter.

I’ve said it a thousand times but it’s always worth repeating: the election is about damage control. You choose the least worst option available to you. If you don’t like the choices you see, you have to get off your ass and do something about it before the election. Whining about after the fact will accomplish nothing.

I would argue that being a single issue voter who is willing to make everything worse, including that single issue they are so fixated on, is just as fucking stupid as being conned into voting for Trump directly.

Canada would have to go back to adding items to that one particular list they made for us.

Honestly, I’m still on board with the Trump answers to Putin train. That’s literally the only person benefitting here.

Maybe I just don’t Google easy questions, but I have never had that AI overview give me the answer I wanted.
