Why would it stop her? The precedent of doing whatever the fuck you want with impunity has already been set. The president has immunity granted by SCOTUS. She might as well go along with it to our advantage.

Refreshing to see how Congress keep voting to eviscerate its own power, while handing over illegitimate power to the executive to unilaterally declare wars and demolish national monuments, no?

One of the ways the liberal dems seem to always seem to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, is to overestimate the effect of cultural issues on the decision of an average American voter.

America would elect a 6’4” 350 lbs bald trans female if they were treated to a yearly luxury overseas vacation, cheap gas prices, a steady supply of Amazon appliances and the ability to regularly eat huge portions at restaurants several times a week. Bonus points if the trans candidate champions Jesus worship and prosperity gospel.

The average American only cares about the price of things relative to their income. The ability to consume and acquire goods and property is a top priority for average voter, regardless of the ethics involved with first-world consumerism.

Americans always elect President Dollar. And thus, a typical Dem candidate hires horrible campaign managers that believe punching down on vulnerable groups will attract centrist and conservative voters, instead of platforming with proposals that meaningfully improve the material conditions of workers. You just end up with a net loss of voters. And queer rights remain stuck.

Cool, what’s your plan? What are we doing to topple the system and make the capitalists pay right now?

Well, if you were hurt or bullied by people in the past, I hope someone shows you love and compassion today. If everyone were truly given those things in life, we wouldn’t have so much evil in this world. Hurt people hurt others.

I see you can’t recognize satire without an /s

IDGAF if I can buy a mountain of cheap Amazon products and keep it all in my storage unit, right? Wash my triple cheeseburger down with not one, but two American Dews? Drive my massively oversized coal-rolling truck that gets 5 miles per gallon?

No but love, compassion and an attempt to understand one another would work miracles for the human species. Most of our suffering is preventable.

Killing and warfare has never lead to the cessation of killing and warfare, and it never will.

If Russia’s entire civilian population refuses peacefully to comply with Putin, there’s really not much he can do. When society’s wheels come to a halt, the oligarchs lose their power.

If we can’t be better than chimps, then we deserve to die off as a species. We’re no better than a scourge upon the planet if we don’t make an effort to rise aboove being mere destructive apes. Apes made even more dangerous through technology and culture. Gorillas, organgutans and bonobos are gentler than us.

It’s the only rational solution. We need to act better than chimps who kill each other for the nut tree.

War and petroleum, the two remaining pillars of American economic might.

We used to manufacture things, until the capital class realized we can sell off that productive capacity to developing nations, nations that don’t protect worker’s rights, to the lowest bidder. Even the weapons we manufacture here are sourced from parts in Asia.

So whole proposal is fucking stupid. Why would China buy weapons from the USA at a premium, when they could just manufacture weapons themselves? They have the parts and raw materials right there.

According to him, now it is. And we’ll be governed from the corporate board rooms of hedge funds and multinationals.

You’ve posted some good information about this. I’m also wondering at what age children were exposed to information about gender norms that deviate from cis-, like through, public education, YouTube or other social media platforms. I’m not sure if it’s taught in public education curriculums to young children, but my intuition says no.

My intuition also tells me that the decision to transition wasn’t influenced by outside factors, but purely through internal motivation. If anything, I would think a lot of individuals struggle with their gender dysphoria, as they realize there can be very real social consequences to coming out.

The fact that such a high rate of individuals are satisfied after their outsides match their insides is pretty much the nail in the coffin for those who oppose transition for youth. As well as anyone who thinks someone can be programmed via education or YouTube to become trans, non-binary, etc.

Also, individuals who differentiate from socially-reinforced gender norms only account for 1-3% of the total US population, so it’s very silly it’s treated by reactionaries as some threat that is going to consume the entire population of kids.

At this point Zionseddit is going to ban anyone for speaking against the Epstein class, while r/conservative gets a pass to constantly post hate and misinformation, while making vague suggestions about taking care of the libs. The auto mods have gotten out of control, to the point of making the entire platform unusable.

Any attempt at political discourse on Reddit is pathetic and its utility has been reduced to mindless TikTok drivel, 15-sec porn clips with no apparent limits on ethics, karma farming and bot posts to push ad traffic.

It was intentionally designed to be super difficult to impeach a sitting president, as the founders wanted to maintain political stability and discourage witch hunting by the majority party in Congress.

The problem is, it serves to maintain political inefficiencies. It creates lame-duck governments that accomplish nothing. The “stability” is just maintaining the status quo, and we’re stuck with incompetent or corrupt presidents for their entire term, as well as an inefficient, useless Congress. A lot of damage can be done in four years.

Personally, I think it needs to be a lot easier, like how other countries can oust a PM at any time for incompetence and/or corruption.

If establishment Dems gain a majority this midterm, we’re stuck with another lame-duck government for two more years, as it’s not a veto-proof majority that can impeach or make constitutional amendments.

That’s why I think the DSA are a good thing. Their platform includes abolishing the Senate. That would be a tremendous advance in making government more efficient at getting things done.

The capital class holds all the cards. Their wishes will be done regardless of which of the two parties has power.

They’re just the modern version of the ruling class. They’ve always dominated since the dawn of civilization. Socialist movements have attempted to overthrow the capital class with varying degrees of success.

There will always be a ruling class. I’d just prefer if it were the working class.

Depends if it serves their self-interest, the wishes of their corporate masters and AIPAC bosses to do so.

He was always this way, the stroke just damaged his brain-to-mouth filter.

100%. Primaries are the most important, way more important than the general elections.

They should be confined to being taught about truthfully in an educational setting, and not allowed to thrive outside of that. The inhumanity and evil of it needs to be stressed.

We’re repeating history now. The bigots are embolded and using Amerikkkas latent hatred as a means to seize power for the alt-right. And it will be repeated time and time again until we actually finish Sherman’s work.

Nazi symbols, KKK propaganda and confederate flags need to be completely destroyed, and these fools shouldn’t be allowed to spread their views on public platforms. They need to be constantly harassed and humiliated out of existence.

We should be targeting and eliminating white religio-nationalist organizations and purging their influence from all levels of government, especially law enforcement.

Fascists take advantage of free speech to spread their subversive views and seize power.
