  • Only if you're exactly the right denomination too.

  • It all makes sense when you realize they have no intention to actually run the country in good faith. They intend to do two things, plunder everything they can, and irreparably destroy the country's future to get revenge for having the audacity to try to move forward.

  • So he's just lifting Jimmy Saville's slogan?

  • Fuck embargos, invade and liberate us. Return the favor we did for Germany 80 years ago.

  • It's been in hospice since 2000.

  • That's why it's an unofficial promise, he's obviously not following through but Musk is dumb enough to trust him.

  • Oh, it's absolutely illegal, but it's a federal crime and he probably has an unofficial promise from Trump that he'll be pardoned for it if the scheme works.

  • Sure. Let's just apply that consistently then. Atoms are binary, the vast majority (with fewer than 1% of atoms being exceptions) can be accurately identified as one of two distinct elements, hydrogen or helium.

  • Yep. Same software, same hardware, just different config files.

  • The problem is focusing on danger implies strength. They want the guy that's dangerous to their enemies. Mocking him erodes some of that power.

  • I'm not a neoliberal, I'm a socialist. I'm just not an idiot who will give a fascist free rein just because his opponent has the same shitty foreign policy as every politician in the whole fucking country has. There is a difference between the status-quo level of bad and catastrophic.

  • It's the trolley problem again. This time, you have 3 tracks and 2 switches. The trolley is headed towards 5 people, one switch sends it to 1 person, and the other switch would send it to 0 people, but it's broken. Voting third party is pulling the broken switch, knowing the 5 people will die but you've shifted the responsibility from yourself to whoever was supposed to fix the switch.

  • They think it's better to make things worse if you personally can avoid blame for it on a technicality.

  • A fire hurricane would be terrifying.

  • Not just COVID, Trump's main strategy in 2020 was to turn "taking the pandemic seriously" into a partisan issue in order to make it so early and mail voting become disproportionately blue (there was no significant correlation in the past) while poisoning the well on those ballots' legitimacy.

  • Instead of blaming doctors for not martyring themselves for the Hippocratic oath, we should be putting the blame on the lawmakers that created this scenario to begin with.

  • We're only yelling "Nazi" because the other side is yelling "heil Hitler".

  • You're asking the question in bad faith. Yes, you are correct that there exists a way to make our current system less democratic than it is. This is why Trump has openly stated he wants to use military force to murder his political opposition and create a one party state. The fact that it could be worse doesn't mean we should be thankful to the Republicans for giving us a choice, that's like thanking someone who robbed you at gunpoint for the generous choice of your money or your life.
