/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • The only other reasonable explanation is that they're too stupid and don't know how to win elections.

    If you think that the Democratic party are stupid, you are delusional.

  • By the numbers, yes. Trump's turnout increased by 1 million from 2020 whereas Democrats decreased by 2 million, and the loss of Democrat turnout was what pushed Trump over the edge. He still only got 49.9% of the vote, after all.

  • It looks like that model has failed in this new environment where any asshole can generate broken code.

  • Sure, but federal taxes are just dollars being taken out of circulation. It doesn't actually fund anything, they print money for that.

    States have to actually use taxes to fund themselves since they can't print money, but like I said, if everyone in the US stopped paying federal taxes it wouldn't actually deprive the government of money. They'd just print.

  • When the entire leadership are right wing, that means the party is right wing.

    In reality, progressives are DINOs. Real Democrats love deportations, love police, love militarism, and love austerity.

  • The reason Harris lost is because people who voted for Biden in 2020 stayed home and because fewer young people voted than in previous elections, not because they voted for Trump. Democratic turnout fell by 2 million votes.

  • Not to rain your parade, but taxes don't fund anything for governments that print money. At most you could deprive your city/county/state of funding. The federal government would be totally fine if 100% of people stopped paying taxes.

  • Harris chose to lose the most winnable election in history because Democrats know they can punish voters for being disloyal simply by allowing Republicans to win. If you demand too much from Democrats they will throw the election. It's essentially a hostage situation, you must give unconditional support to the Good Cop or the Bad Cop will beat you to death. You don't want the Bad Cop, do you?

    If we don't abolish this system we're all going to die.

  • Reject modernity.

    Retvrn to ASCII

  • Actually, I think anti-vaxxers are one group we could blame for all this.

  • I'm not convinced CEOs are conscious.

  • As autonomous-autonomous trade accelerates, protecting sovereignty seems self sustaining (barring military intervention of course). I can't even imagine how Russia would lose the gains it has made since 2014 unless they were attacked directly or something.

  • no way they could name more than two philosophers anyway lol

  • We will never be allowed to die.

  • They're being more strict about rules, like coming to team meetings/back from break on time and working until the buzzer etc etc

    I think it's just because we've had a bunch of layoffs, so the team is smaller. Easier to squeeze.

  • Fascists can not stand to interact with even one opinion they disagree with. All discussion must be a circlejerk, even when they go into other communities and spew their horseshit

  • Ask me how I know you've never seen an argument about Russia.

  • ffs I stopped using the men's restroom because men kept getting confused and angry when I went in there, and I wasn't even that far into my transition yet. It's been years now, I'm going to have to make a scene every single time I have to pee I guess.

  • Smart in a really specific way.

    Specifically: stealing, scams, and flimflam.

    A recent argument forced me to see that "genocide" has been turned into an imprecise word, and I don't know what to do about that?
