Fair, I can’t argue that’s a good lens to view this through. I can only hope these people’s message actually get some people to wake up.

But that pessimism didn’t just appear. There’s a reason, and I’m my opinion a good one, for it. I think we’re long overdue for a political overhaul. Though I’m probably just preaching to the choir.

Not even mug shots really. Just close ups of people who aren’t white.

No names, no location, no information. Just “Murder” and a photo. It’s less than a mug shot.

Hey he specifically broke the record for longest filibuster when it didn’t matter directly after voting yes to the budget proposal. How is that performative?!?! /S

Could have done it a week earlier and it be an actual filibuster instead of some symbolic bs.

Or they’re people that actually want change and a better life for us all. And that’s not coming via either current party in the US.

I think expecting Democratic Senators to vote no on things like the Laken Riley Act or Democratic Judges to not sign bogus warrants to arrest Gaza protesters should be a bare minimum expectation.

Them not even being able to do that " keeps people down on the Democrats."

I agree, but courts have been partisan for a while. See judge Cannon’s handling of Trumps documents case and the supreme Courts handling of his freaking insurrection.

I understand the way things are supposed to be. But it’s not the way they are. Courts are going to have to decide which side of history they are on.

Fascists are good at using the fact that their opponents need to uphold the law against them.

Your comment is correct as much as I hate it. But to the quoted portion, their opponents don’t need to. They choose to. And it drives me insane that they think that we can operate within the system the fascists are actively ignoring to fix this. The “normal way” things are done is gone, it’s time to stand firm and take action.

My half thought conspiracy: The actual hope is to get people so reliant on AI that the fee is secondary.

You’re already starting to see this in news articles where, "Chat gpt says Trump’s physical not possible," or that “gork calls elon top misinformation spreader.”

Why are news outlets reporting on what some hallucinating AI says? To legitimize it. As people use it more they’ll become more reliant on it. It’ll be no different than, "just Google it "

But they aren’t only going to do this to make a profit. It’s more than that. It’s about controlling the flow of information. Once people are reliant on it they’ll adjust algorithms and black list information that doesn’t benefit them.

Legitimately AI is trying to position itself to control information and by extension the realities of its users. And that is priceless.

It’s weird how Dems refuse to acknowledge it’s a politicians job to get people to vote for them. They constantly just blame voters.

There’s no politics when everythings’ mere existence is heresy

Double it and give it to the next defendant!

Well we don’t get a home, jobs are being replaced with AI, and no one can afford children. So we can avoid those roadblocks lol

And the us military historically actually has a lot of trouble with those

I disagree, not anymore anyway. Sure Vietnam was a wholesale loss. But while the US failed to institute a lasting democracy in Afghanistan, their KD is like 1:200. In 20 years of occupation they lost under 3000 troops. That is with logistics supplying the force on the other side of the world. That’s actually a crazy accomplishment and show of power.

While the military might not be able to “win” if they fully side with trump, America in for a long and bloody (mostly bloody for the civilians) occupation.

Hey at least the one and only time he went low and broke decorum was so he could pardon his own son. And the other 1200 people a week later when he realized how bad the optics were.

And just to get ahead of those people. I’m not necessarily mad he pardoned his son. I’m mad there only time he broke decorum was for his own personal interests and not the American people’s.

She was offering 50k tax breaks to small business and 20k down payments for first time home buyers, great on paper. But 70% of Americans work paycheck to paycheck, so they can’t utilize that. And her healthcare for all became healthcare for some became expanding the ACA. So no help for the majority of people.

And when asked if she’d change anything, she declined. But then suddenly changed her mind and said she’d add a Republican to the cabinet. Further alienating the 70% of people that work paycheck to paycheck and anyone who understand what Republicans are. Can’t forget parading around with good ol Liz too. Really winning with that one.

When asked the simple question of “Should trans people exist?” Her answer was they should follow the law. Disgusting. Unwilling to acknowledge somes right to exist in hopes of courting centrists. Instead pushing away both sides.

Her and Biden continued the genocide despite loud outcry from progressives. If progressives are such a tiny a faction that they aren’t worth catering to with policy, then you can’t be mad when you didn’t get their vote. And if you think it’s their fault the Dems lost then you should still be mad at the Dems for alienating them.

Honestly I agree with you that the US got what it deserved. But not because of its vote, rather because what we’ve become. Your options are continuing the status quo (ya know that one with 70% of people being pay check to pay check) or fascism. There was no right choice for most people. And I find it funny how privileged libs are to think there was.

Everyone should strive for 2 so we make progress
