You have more confidence than I in the Constitution at this point.

I hope that some day the GOP will be like the Nazi and the Confederates.

How to say you didn’t live in the United States South without saying you didn’t live in the South.

I’ll blame the voters every time. Not just this election. It’s the yearly elections, the local ones that cover local and state elections. The not showing up has allowed the long game of the republicans who are good at getting people to show up. This is on the regular of people “not paying attention to politics.” And them voting local is what pushes the upper. How do you think Trump took over the party?

So yes, gonna blame the voters.

Thank you. Audible was my lifesaver when I was working on the road but I’m definitely on the prepare part.

… Is Steve Bannon suddenly one of the good guys?

No. He’s just been pushed to the side and is pissy about it. I’ll appreciate his involvement in resisting that maybe he can pull off some of the supporters, but at the end of the day, he’s still an asshole.

Mump

No no, they’re on to something. Especially after confirming RFK Jr. How long until Mumps come back?

I was generally happy with uBlock before, but then I found the dashboard and checked all the boxes for Annoyances and oh man! So much better!

So… can you hook a guy up with info on this?

Missouri here… if you’re worried about your congressman hearing from you daily after the cuts, you’re already on the game too late. If you’re concerned you need to be doing it before

Y’know what, I’ll bite. It’s been long enough I can’t definitively say whether it came up before or not.

But that’s a point though, she did move her policy to that of the ones that the Bernie supporters and they still snubbed her and we got Trump.

So in that we made sure the Left didn’t have a seat at the table because they didn’t bother to show up right after showing they had the numbers and ability to do so, and we got a billionaire man-baby who sucks up to other billionaires and fascist regimes. Good trade.

I say this as a Bernie voter, but my national vote was still for Hillary. Citizens United and the Supreme Court were on the line, I told other leftists it was on the line, I was told I was overreacting… so call me fucking Cassandra.

Pretty much. I just always like to point these things out as there’s a nice bit of revisionism amongst the left on “We want this, why didn’t the dems give it to us” while people don’t show up and vote for them, then cry they didn’t show up because “Dems are as bad as republicans.” Which frankly is as bad as the right on their revisionism.

The 16 election was an attempt to take down Citizens United as well as bring up the Trans Pacific Partnership. The TPP was specifically trying to get the other Asian countries to lock out China in trade to reduce its power. But the right wingers thought “No we want to be hard on China” pulled out of it, and basically left China to look at all the other Asian countries who didn’t have a partnership with the US and bring them to heel.

Citizens United came about in 2010, during the Obama administration, and specifically that same year Republicans had gained majority in the House, creating a divided congress that meant no laws could get through, especially an anti-Citizens United bill. An executive order isn’t going to fix this one.

The Left falls into the same fallacy as the Right, they want a strong leader who can “solve all the problems.” Problem is the Right is really good at it because it’s really their authoritarian style. The part that pisses me off is the Right is also really good at showing up at the polls when they matter even if they hate the candidate, as long as it moves the needle one step over to their side while the Left keeps having a lot of voters be all or nothing.

I mean… that was literally one of the things that Hillary ran on. So… your timeline checks out.
