It's a fucking Hitler quote. Do we really need to analyze it for nuance?

I'm GenX, and I wouldn't answer a poll if you paid me. I will vote, and I will never vote for a Republican for the rest of my life. If there's no Dem candidate on the ballot for a specific office, I leave it blank so they can see how many votes they're not getting when they don't run a candidate.

Abortion bans don't stop abortions. People with the means will travel out of state. People without the means to travel will obtain abortions by whatever means necessary. Women will die.

There were reasons why Roe was decided the way it was. Some people have forgotten history or never learned it. Women they know and women they love will die. They will remember, they will learn. It will be too late.

To be fair, my "woman" is able to disagree with me because I didn't chain her up, hold her captive, and traffic her for my cam site (allegedly).

Bernie Sanders was the best-positioned potential third party candidate in probably the last 50-100 years. Why, then, didn't Bernie run as a third party candidate? Because it's not a viable strategy in the FPTP way we run elections here. He knew that it would be the worst option.

There isn't a viable "other way".

And then you learn about Fextra's embedded twitch player that artificially inflates their twitch view count and pushes out smaller content creators who are actually trying to engage with a game's audience.

"Send it back to the states so the people can decide"... Some of the most transparent bullshit to come out of the Supreme Court in recent years. As if everyone didn't know that this was exactly what was going to happen.

We all know this. We are all powerless to change it. Corporations and governments control whether or not it can be changed. Politicians worldwide are being fed by the pollution industry. The poors voting changes nothing until the corporations and politicians decide to do something about it.

Walkable cities? Great idea. Needs politicians to approve zoning restrictions. Don't drive cars? Great idea. Needs politicians to build public transportation infrastructure. Electric cars? Great idea. Needs corporations to produce them at an affordable cost. Etc etc etc.

There will never be a day when 10 billion people in the world get on the same page to demand the end of anything. We can't even get a tenth of that many to agree to stop killing each other over border squabbles.

Basically self-diagnosed at 35 due to this. Therapist backed it up and agreed, but there isn't really anything anyone is going to do with a 35 year old other than maybe give you some anti-anxiety medicine occasionally after hassling you about it.

They've made $600M. How is that fucking up a golden ticket? They've all been getting paid well for years. The people who spent money are the ones who don't have a finished game. That probably doesn't matter to the people who've paid off a large chunk of their mortgages in the meantime.

Marcus Flowers ran against her in 2022, and really had two things working against him in Georgia - he's black and a Democrat. He's a veteran, smart, committed to doing the right thing, ran a clean campaign on policy, and worked hard. Meanwhile, she trolled, filmed videos of herself wasting time at his campaign office while he worked, etc, etc, etc. And all of that happened while she was removed from all of her committee assignments which meant that she couldn't even do anything to support her district for 90% of her first term.

They gerrymandered her district as much as they could by reaching down to Cobb County suburbs to pull as much away from Atlanta as they could afford to, and Marcus lost by a lot. I'm not entirely sure we're not stuck with her for a very long time, unless she loses a primary, which I don't see happening with the Republicans in their current state.

Would you believe me if I told you that at least 3 of the current supreme court members were lawyers arguing on behalf of Bush in that case?
