The Democrats are a conservative party. They want to get back to the days when the parties had no ideological differences and were just clubs that voters picked personalities they liked most.

That ended during the progressive era, when some politicians (in both parties) got ideas about making the country better for working class people. The Republicans had more friends that were rich as fuck so they started propaganda campaigns among Republican voters and the progressive Republicans were primaried out of office.

Now the Democrats are stuck with the leftist label they don’t really want. Some of their voters do, but only some. American voters want leftist policies to be enacted but are allergic to leftist politicians and organizing.

Madman? He knew exactly what he was doing. He’s a maga murderer.

Says you.

You first.

They care about money.

Day long general strikes have changed policy. A week would bring the government to the table on anything short of dissolving the government.

The US government is terrified of general strikes, and has gone to extraordinary measures to ensure they don’t happen.

The church is large and complex and run by many different people. It has been a force for good and evil all along.

If they spent half as much time monitoring wmright wing murderers as they do peaceful left wing movements, the country would be a lot safer.

Just have to keep in mind what we are dealing with.

What do you think they should do? Go to Minnesota and wack two Republicans to balance the legislature back out?

If he wants to be an occupying army he shouldn’t be surprised when he gets treated like one.

There is also that the vast majority of gender critical feminists are women, and the majority of assaults are committed by men.

I don’t worry about terfs assaulting me directly, while I suppose it’s possible, I worry they will weaponize law enforcement or some transphobic white knight against me.

I would hang out with me. I would play boardgames and learn about obscure subjects that I am interested in.

I would have trouble coordinating schedules with myself.

It’s terrifying in many ways.

Millennial, briefly experienced a life with limited access to information.

You are capable of more than you think. You wrote phone numbers down and memorized your own. You memorized the ones you used regularly. I had 7-8 friends and family numbers memorized.

You also only needed one phone number per household.

When you needed to know something like how to fix a car or replace a light bulb you asked someone. Often An uncle, aunt, or cousin. If nobody in your friends/family group knew, you went to the library.

Yellow pages and magazines and instruction manuals were constantly floating around with information. I never felt deprived of curiosity. I read a lot.

Hope she feels good about providing a meal to a face-eating leopard.

Take an up vote from me. Civil wars nearly always end in tragedy beyond the imaginations of those who start them.

Feel real bad for Illinois, Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico citizens.

And all the Democrats in the red states of course.

40% of the country wants it to be worse in every way imaginable. They want more religion in the halls of power, more impressive law enforcement and mass incarceration, more dictatorial centralization of power, less education more environmental destruction more wealth concentration in fewer elites hands, less protections for workers, and their families, more poverty sickness and death.

They aren’t the same people either, sixty-70% want one or some of the things on that list.

If we declared a constitutional convention, I don’t think there would be any agreement whatsoever about what changes to make, and if there were, agreement, I expect they would be disasterous.

Biden made hay about selecting a Black Woman as vise President. That is declaring her heir apparent.

“The DNC” does not have the power to force Biden to step aside when he doesn’t want to.

They aren’t a military or a government. They are a club, and Biden was far and away the senior member.
