But consider the outcome if democrats hadn't committed genocide. The republicans might have taken all three branches of government.

But consider the outcome if democrats had passed any particular policy. The republicans might have taken all three branches of government.

But consider the outcome if democrats had shot everyone involved with January 6th. The republicans might have taken all three branches of government.

But consider the outcome if democrats hadn't started World War 3. The republicans might have taken all three branches of government.

They probably do. It's just a habit thing for me. I already know how I like to set Flux and it's free so I just downloaded it instead of using my Galaxy's blue light filter.

The phone app is also great. Flux is my first download on any new device.

And get a blue-light filter: https://justgetflux.com/ . I set it to the absolute minimum at all times. Unless I'm doing photo editing, I don't notice the colour difference.

Ronald Reagan was a freedom fighter in terms of supporting our Jewish bros & sis in the Soviet Union & opposing vicious forms of communism.

What would that symbolise? The President in Avignon or the world's saddest participation trophy? The country overwhelmingly decided that she in particular should not have power.

Colorado is so fucked. All of our big cattle operations are situated in extremely reactionary areas. Greeley, the main cattle town, tried to secede from the state over the COVID mask mandate. Raw milk is one of the right-wing obsessions and the dairies circumvent pasteurisation law by selling "shares" of a cow. You're technically just drinking from your own cow even if it's one of 200 eating chicken shit in an industrial dairy next to a dozen feed lots and poultry farms. There's no chance the state government will have an effective public health response if it's similar to their unenforced COVID lockdown, and we're a road/air nexus for the entire country.

Agreed. If someone is going to confront him, there needs to be a resolution to that event

Follow-up question: Are you literally a baby in a diaper?

but I don't see why I can't also be proudly straight

Ignoring all the power dynamics reasons why this is nonsensical, what does straight pride look like to you? What exactly are you being denied in terms of self-expression or inclusion?

I like that moment when an anticommunist finds themselves surrounded by Nazis who hate them as a secret communist. The FBI spent the past century suppressing the only movements that would have healed the contradictions ripping the country apart and now their agents are facing long knives for not being fascist enough.

Eat shit mercenary.

That stock design is so neat.

It's insane that he sold his support for nothing. Harris would have probably won if she had a single meaningful policy. She started her 2020 primary campaign as a Medicare 4 All candidate. His base is the exact kind of disaffected independent voter she needed, including most of the right-wing non-MAGA hogs I know. Bernie became Biden's and Harris' lapdog for nothing.

It makes sense to me as-is. Liberals were gleeful about sacrificing minority groups for power. They committed genocide and didn't get power for it. If they instead killed no one and lost, at least they aren't fucking demons.

I see an audience of 300k people looking for commentary on politics that they can't get from television.

I'm fully on board with Carter/Biden 2028. Two presidents are stronger than one.

The deadline to file for candidacy in Vermont came and went in August, and no one had filed to put their name on the ballot for Orange County high bailiff. Now, however, two local individuals are imploring voters to write in their names.

The candidates are Tom Harty of Randolph and Christopher Helali of Vershire. The current high bailiff, Bob Worley, is not running for re-election.

This campaign is a trick. It's such an obscure position that I don't know if my state has an equivalent. The old one was retiring and it would have been unfilled if not for two write-in campaigns. I'm pretty sure this is his opponent (https://xcancel.com/tjharty) and it's the only thing I can find from him, so his web presence ended in 2021. The ACP found a race where they had to get a handful of votes to become the royal swankeeper. When PSL or DSA do this, they target actual roles like city/state representatives. They could also run these little novelty campaigns to claim that they're winning in every district in the country, but it wouldn't be anything more than empty peacocking. ACP is the grifter LARP because this same guy ran for senate in 2022 and didn't even appear on the ballot.

Bernie "Complicit in Genocide" Sanders sold his support to the 2020 and 2024 campaigns for nothing. He has spent the entire time since gaslighting me about the people he sold his soul to while selling my contact information to them. His main concern for the past year has been supporting a genocide against children that he refuses to call a genocide when pretending to dislike it. I would not trust this freak to tell me the time without lying. Bernie's only value is as the specific detailed example I can use to explain why anyone like him is the moderate wing of fascism.

If they didn't commit genocide, the republicans would say "we are going to commit genocide" and possibly win the 2024 election.
