Also while some peoples definition of criminal is “murderer” or similar some peoples definition is closer to "you did or a relative did something not 100% legal in the last generation or two.
edit: some peoples definition of criminal will definitely include unhoused or non-land owning eventually
That already happened to like 90% of us thanks to the same cultists.
King? He makes his money from knowing how to use words not how to use plastic surgeons.
They absolutely coddled and voiced all his insane rantings while never refuting any of them.
I hope their 30 pieces of silver are heavy in their pockets as the rope is put around their necks.
Dude was probably burnt to a crisp by the UV.
This is the entire U.S. political structure barring a few decent individuals.
Feel free, leftwing flailing doesn’t help anyone (see the last 70 years as proof)
edit: Also funny you think I’m a centrist when I specifically called Harris a weak milquetoast pro-LE candidate.
beyond obvious that if people didn’t vote in this election, they’d literally never
Except for the 10m people that voted for Biden in 2020 but sat this round out.
You did say their apathy was justified, but it NEVER will be.
Where did I say that? There’s plenty of blame to go around and non-voters will receive their share but right now we’re talking about the rich ruling class who were unable to form any coherent argument or defense against an openly fascist, 34-time convicted, rapist. If that doesn’t show what they bring to the table then I don’t know what does.
You think it’s a sign that the politicians did something wrong that people literally can’t be bothered to stop obvious and imminent fascism.
You don’t? You think politicians did their jobs? I think they’ve been asleep at the wheel for the last 4-5 decades.
Funnier still, you claimed they cared but not voting wasn’t something they could blamed for.
I never said they cared, the opposite in fact.
bothering to vote
Ah yes the absolute lowest bar for civic participation and they still couldn’t reach it meanwhile Republicans are winning schoolboards across the country.
I’m actually coming around to your side though, both sides aren’t the same, one of them is good at politics.
“They saw how dangerous the people actively working against democracy were and were *still unable to form a coherent argument against it or court the millions of people who were afraid of it.”
I’m not sure evil through incompetence is any different than willful evil. One smiles while they patronize you, the other doesnt.
From where I sit the Democratic party was so afraid of an actual changecandidate that they neglected to have a primary and foisted a milquetoast pro-LE candidate that didn’t do anything to reach their base and instead tried to court it’s opponents supporters. So, maybe they’re actually worse than Republicans, at least an R will tell you they hate you and want to take your rights.
An openly fascist rapist beat them, if that isn’t an indictment of them I don’t know what is.
The Democratic party lost, it’s now OK to point at them and say “what a bunch of out of touch rich fucks” and throw them to the wolves, they do not represent us and in that way, are exactly the same as the other side.
So, do you think one of the parties isn’t owned by the 1%?
“No they wouldn’t, it would be bad for their investments in the economy, with more workers in the labour pool the cheaper labour becomes. So reducing that worker pool would mean companies would spend more on each worker reducing profits.”
You agree with that comment?
Do you actually disagree with any of what they said or is snark your contribution?
Fuck that if they voted for him they’re to blame.
I’m not the other commenter. I have a long term term partner and we’re happy together so I don’t really care what any future woman does or doesn’t do with me.
I just don’t think this 4B thing will even ever happen, I think discussing it like it’s real is stupid and will only impact the terminally online and it’s likely just more Russian psy-ops designed to turn one group of Americans against another. We already have a whole legion of incel young men, maybe we need to brew up a batch of hateful young women incels to further fuck our society up.
I love the immediate switch to ad hominem.
“Obviously nobody wants to sleep with you! You must be mentally unwell”
Do you think it’s healthy to tell (and pressure) women to not be relationships until laws are changed?
If I were interested in weakening a nation, counseling the youth to walk away from relationships and turning the genders against each other would be a pretty decent tactic.
I agree the fall of the US would definitely hurt basically every other economy in the world, in the short term at least.
The rest of your statement lays out a really good reason why a lot of people would cheer though. The U.S. has absolutely brutalized South America with its constant meddling (almost always at the behest of private industry) and is responsible for most the pain there. I can’t really say I’d blame them.
I legitimately know a woman who’s divorcing her husband, finding out he was a Trump supporter was the final straw. They’ve been in a rough spot for the last year or so, he doesn’t cook/clean at all.
She was going to leave him a year ago but tried to make it work, finding out he was a secret Trumper sealed the deal for her.
