Not voting is a choice. Those 40% didn’t give a shit.

Well that’s the thing Florida doesn’t remove them in the first place if the other state doesn’t. Your interpretation would create a legal catch-22 which doesn’t make sense per the default of people having rights.

“Until restoration of civil rights” is the important bit. Since NY hasn’t removed his civil rights he doesn’t have to “restore them”.

They’ll say it anyway, they don’t give a fuck and their propaganda network will never say otherwise.

Maybe dumbass finally got back on his meds or media stopped caring (I know I did). The longer I don’t hear celebrity news the better.

Republicans didn’t even want him running now in 2024, but his cult are fanatics and enough of them that unless they start unified behind an alternate candidate he’ll keep being where he is. During the R primaries this fact was talked about a lot. All the other candidates together had enough to beat him but none of them were willing to be behind another candidate. All the losers endorsing Trump instead of others really didn’t help.

Did he do it drunk on a dare? or believed Trump’s lies and decided he’d try before he learned just how (appropriately)harsh the laws are?

He’s a college student not a middleschooler.

Idk about Allred actually getting Cruz. He’s in Texas, he’s black and polling I’ve seen has been largely unchanged with Allred down 3-5%. As seems usual we’re counting on women and minorities to do enough to stop the worst but I really wonder if we can get the best.

Voters seem to have goldfish memory every election about how conservatives keep fucking us everytime they’re in power.

That bill went through with a veto-proof majority of all Rs and enough Dems.

Biden is a zionist, however, he’s also a politician who understands that the genocide was not and is not super favorable domestically. It’s also not a good look for the ceasefire negotiations to be as unsuccessful as they’ve been. If the opposition wasnt the orange turd this election could have easily gone R just like Reagan v Carter with Iranian hostage crisis.

Biden tried just slowing weapon shipments earlier on and Rs and some Ds rammed a bill through saying nope, no slowdowns on these shipments allowed.

Most of .ml and hexbear and other “tankies” are vocally saying they’re going to vote someone else like de la cruz or west (or not at all). All of those same people can’t respond to the fact that if they want third party viability then need to 1)make sure voting remains a thing (aka vote harris this election)and 2) work to get something other than ftfp voting and work hard to get progressives in the primary3) don’t expect quick change because the system is set up to maintain a status quo which means a lot of willpower is needed for changes.

1. is obvious I think. Palestinian genocide should not be supported by our country but Harris has at least talked willingness to pull netanyahu back somewhat. Rs want to let netanyahu be further unhinged in his genocide, let putin commit a Ukrainian genocide, then start a new one at home starting with the Trans and quickly spreading to other lgbtq, Latinos and whatever the outgroup of the hour is.

2. basically the main driver behind this two party divide. RCV is why Alaska, home of Sarah Palin has a democratic house representative. I know people talk about other systems too, what I know is just about anything is better than the FTFP we currently have.

3. Before '08 politicians hadn’t seriously considered M4A. Now what we got, the ACA/Obamacare hasn’t been good but is a hell of a lot better than what we had before.

Better than what we had is basically the aim. Rs and billionaires have been playing that game for themselves since before Reagan and are why we’re in a sea of shit. We’re not going to magically fly out of the shit into a socialist utopia, it is a long slog back to a shore of reason then trekking to somewhere better. All I’m saying is voting can’t be the lone basis of fixing our system but is a bare minimum to keep a system in place. A revolution is only nice on paper and it’s just as likely the “bad guys” win.

The “center” has run to and supported her so they’re getting what they want. If the left wants anything you have to get in the tent first. There’s a reason Bernie ran in the Democratic primary. Keep our democracy and work on shifting left via primaries and ballot measures. Otherwise we’ve got an R dictatorship and I’m not rich enough or white enough to deal with that.

Can’t rely on that either. The CEO who threatened to kill over trying to change the hotdog price has been gone for a while now.

The 3 Supreme Court appointments Trump got (ACB, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch)in his one term was also just shy of Reagan’s 4 (william rehnquist to chief, Sandra day O’Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy). Bush jr replaced rehnquist and Sandra with current shitstains John Roberts, and Samuel Alito.

Same difference. Whether it is Trump or Vance they’ll do the same thing. They’ve been doing it since Reagan at least.

Legal for the judge to be involved in a business yes. Not ethical for the judge to make rulings about that business but that requires ethics and morals and thanks to Rs even the US Supreme Court doesn’t have that.

Below scotus level theoretically judges can censure other judges but idk that process.

Is this how we’ve ended up with outlook?

Many in the government in fact don’t want the government to operate.
