“Pwease pwease US, pwease help us defend ourselves! It’s self defense! We’re just poor poor innocent Israel trying to defend ourselves from the dirty invading barbarian hoards!”

Don’t be like Hannity should be part of our education.

Sean Hannity is one of the worst propagandists out there and absolute going for the award for scum of the earth 2024. I fucking hate that guy with every fiber of my being.

Carrying across the line isn’t good enough. It needs to be resounding.

The goal is a repeat of Bush V Gore where in this case Trump leads early on and then the assholes in Georgia call foul on some district essentially hitting pause where Trump was ahead they then petition the SCOTUS to give them a ruling to stop counting after X time as it will now be considered “too long after the election.”

A-fucking-men.

The Green Party should be the RCV party and that should be their main focus. After that then they and any other party would actually stand a chance. Republicans are actively banning RCV from being implemented and Democrats are slow walking it, but we need to keep pushing.

For those that don’t want to give Elon fucking muskrat a click. Fuck Twitter.

Edit: never mind it’s a preview… So fucking important but we need to pay him to see it.

“I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives, but I’m going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives!”

Hate and Ignorance: The American Way™

Literally plan A is to fucking steal the election… They spent the last 4 years brainwashing The Base to believe the election was stolen so that they can do it brazenly this time and they’ll feel justified in doing it…

I’m generally a pessimistic person, but I see absolutely no way that we win this…

People say vote in numbers that can’t be ignored, except we never vote in those kinds of numbers and with Trump not being in office and the collective amnesia we seem to have about how terrible he was, I don’t see turnout being that great this time around…

But we have a club at home!

Club at home:

I’ve been single for far too long as well lol

It’s almost like a bad judgment call to not ensure you understand the rules of your job.

One might even say if you don’t care about doing your job correctly that it shows a lack of proper judgment.

But what do I know, I’m just a worthless factory schmuck.

I really liked how Jon Stewart addressed Cheney’s endorsement.

He stared directly at the camera and said “Fuck off Cheney.”

Same goes for Bush. FUCK OFF BUSH. It would be an insult to have Bush or Cheney on “our” side. Goddamn war criminal, money grubbing, pieces of shit. Rest in piss when the time comes Bush.

SCOTUS:

Could be, but in my experience that phrase is never followed by something good. :/

Because to some their eternal purity is way more important than anything that could actually happen as a result of their actions. To throw your vote away in a protest that no party has ever cared about keeps your hands clean of any individual aspect of that party you don’t like and you can claim the moral high ground by “trying” to enact change, but at what cost to everything around you?

It’s like the cartoon of the people living in a cave after climate change ruins everything saying “at least for a short time we made a lot of money for shareholders.” except it would be “at least I didn’t vote for Genocide Joe.”

So why does this only show Republican states as actually banning it? Yeah I’m with you on Democrats slow walking this issue, but Republicans are actively banning it. Until that changes we’re stuck with only those two options. Corpo Dems or corpo-fascist Republicans…

I generally feel pretty dead inside most days, but I did find some value in this video today. The Internet is usually pretty good for finding humorous stuff. Hopefully you at least get a chuckle from it!

Yeah, it’s short for “miss me with that independent shit, pay up!”

Exactly! And of all people an editor-in-chief pretty much rarely encounters the written word. That position and the entire industry around it aren’t exposed to words that often so it’s totally excusable.

We’re in such a wonderful position: Kamala does nothing about Israel like she’s paid to do and Palestinians die.

Trump wins and not only does nothing about Palestine, but encourages Bibi to go harder, more Palestinians die annnnd we get to enjoy the beginning of a fascist dictatorship!

Notice how Stein isn’t even mentioned in the above? You can claim it’s about putting pressure on Kamala all you like, but this is the literal election. When she loses because of this “pressure” (that isn’t pressure, it’s literally not voting for her at all) what’s the outcome? It sure as hell has nothing to do with Stein being anywhere.

We’ve been having this argument about the green party for fucking decades and what progress/policies have they “forced” the Democrats to adopt?

I think aside from the obvious genocide, what really fucking pisses me off about Democrats and this topic is that “we” can sooooo easily say “handguns for self defense ok! Shotguns for self defense ok! Rifles for self defense ok (depends on magazine size and rate of fire) bombs? No! Tanks? God no!” But when it comes to Isreal they suddenly completely lose the capacity for nuance… Bombs = self defense? Are you fucking joking?

“Attempted to fix the issue, but the problem exists between the keyboard and chair.”

So just going to chime in here with a little advice that really should be obvious, but don’t tell someone who is suicidal to just get over themselves.

A person wants to end their existence and your only reply is to completely dismiss their pain as absurd. As someone who is suicidal pretty much every day, the whole point is not wanting to exist in this pain and not seeing any way out of it. There’s nothing to “get over” as people like us think of ourselves as the lowest form of garbage imaginable. A joke I often make is “Hitler had more redeeming qualities than I do.”

The only thing accomplished wtih your statement is making you feel better about yourself, it doesn’t help the other person at all so the whole “got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything” applies here.
