You’re free to bring it up again here in a month, but I think ‘emotions are too hot for a productive discussion’ is a good reason to put a temporary halt on it. A healthy discourse just isn’t possible right now, and there’s the wellbeing of both users and admins to think about here.

I know I keep saying it, but that’s ~10000 Democrats in Dearborn that showed up and deliberately withheld votes for Harris. That’s not apathy, that’s anger.

I’ve been carrying a tinfoil hat around for a while now - I think big D Democrats like Trump in the same way the Republicans like being the minority party, because it gives them both something to point at while they pick our pockets. Any party that was serious about defeating a fascist threat to the United States would have immediately stopped arms sales to Gaza when constituents polled 20 points in favor of ceasing the genocide in Palestine. Yet again Democrats played to money from Lockheed Martin and Boeing and Raytheon, and told us to hold our noses, and yet again enough voters told the DNC to fuck off by refusing to go to the polls for candidates who wouldn’t represent them, and yet again we ended up with Republicans controlling all three branches of government.

If we even get another election in the states, the Democratic party needs to cease to exist so that a more progressive group can actually represent the people. And I know that sounds fucking insane, but the best case scenario if the Dems are still relevant in 2028 is that the pendulum swings back and they continue to sit with their thumbs up their asses waiting to lose again four to eight years later after once again disrenfranchising their base.

Democracy dies at WaPo

I don’t listen to polls anymore. I’ve already voted, I don’t give a fuck about who’s leading who.

The only thing I use AI for is generating character art for tabletop portraits and when the well is sufficiently poisoned I will probably go back to Pinterest.

He’s been casually racist around most of the people in the office so I’m sure he’ll fit right in.

My dickhead boss quit to go be a cop. I hope I can get back on salary after he’s gone.

God I would love for Total Distortion to show up on GOG or Steam one day.

Nobody.

She is running 95 MPH to keep pace with the speeding vehicle, instead of them both being stationary as the first panel implies.
