  • Why would I pay for news controlled by a billionaire? My tax money already goes towards CBC who are... probably better than WaPo.

  • Yes, I want Kamala to dazzle me by committing to ending this genocide. Hell even acknowledging the genocide would dazzle me at this point.

    The bar is in the fucking basement and Kamala is struggling to get over it.

  • These sorts of comments confuse the fuck out of me, like, who are you directing this at? A Donald trump voter? The people "expecting Kamala to dazzle them" are entirely aware that Donald trump is an incompetent lunatic. They're asking for the bare minimum from Kamala because she's the only viable option and she can't even deliver that bare minimum.

  • Thanks in part to the US military base in the region known as Israel perhaps?

  • Pretty sure OP is asking why the US gov relentlessly supports the genocide, not maga morons.

  • Pointing out that the prequels have the slightest hint of an interesting story does not change that they are garbage movies. All you've done is summarize the plot in vague terms that are only slightly more vague than the movies themselves. They do not "explore how an opportunistic politician can subvert democracy to create a fascist dictatorship", they barely even dip their toes in the attempt.

    The prequels do not do an adequate job of establishing why the republic is vulnerable to being hijacked by a fascist dictator. They do not adequately establish how Palpatine is able to seize power. Germany was reeling from WW2 and was thus vulnerable to a charismatic dictator like Hitler. Hitler successfully used the hate and anger of german citiziens, caused by the very real suffering they were experiencing post WW1.

    What the fuck happened in the prequels? There was a trade dispute, whatever that means, (it's never explained in the slightest), and so Palpatine gets appointed supreme leader or something? No suffering of average people is asserted, no populist rhetoric that gains momentum because of real suffering. Just, there's a war so we need a supreme leader and it has to be Palpatine.

    The plot is completely nonsensical and I challenge you to outline Palpatines rise to power in detail. Every single character acts like a complete idiot and does nothing as Palpatine blatantly seizes power.

    Not to mention the dog shit dialogue, stiff delivery, boring characters, racist caricatures, and blatant and obnoxious pandering to children.

    The prequels are absolute awful movies in basically every way imaginable. Pretending they are some sort of intellectual piece of work just exposes you as an idiot or someone who hasn't watched the movies since they were 8 years old.

    Sorry to be a dick but those movies are seriously fucking bad and I have issues.

  • If that's how you feel, ok. I'd love to hear your reasoning for why any of the prequels are better than FA.

  • Fun fact!

  • I felt like it dragged a lot in seasons 3/4 but the ending was fantastic.

  • What if I told you... Harris needs to do more positive things to get voters to want to vote for her.

  • Cards Against Humanity continue to bring good into the world

  • I don't get your point. I'm saying that belittling non-voters and misrepresenting their motivations is fucking horrible way to get them to vote.

    Liberals should spend less time berating leftists and more time criticizing their politicians for being shitty candidates.

  • Biden said to call Netanyahu 'a f**king liar' after Israeli troops entered Rafah | The Times of Israel

    Jump

  • Yeah I understand Trump has a better chance of winning if less people vote for Harris. My point is that instead of blaming voters for not wanting to vote for dems people need to blame the dems for not being worth voting for.

  • Looool.

    You're right that the OT are just fun movies that are much less impressive than when they came out.

    The prequels are hot steaming piles of shit in comparison though. Maybe you need to remove your rose tinted glasses?

  • Glad to see people with a spine piping up on this website. I'm so fucking tired of the "non voters help Trump win" narrative. It's so fucking pathetic.
