Yes, it's really that strange. Protest votes and sitting this one out make sense in primary season. In general election season, it's cutting off your nose to spite your face. I'd say "it accomplishes nothing," but it's actually worse because it gets you Trump, who WILL be worse.

His own website is Agenda 47. There's plenty of overlap. And besides, Project 2025 promises to appoint loyalists to him. That's all they'll need to tell him and he'll be all-in for whatever, then check out and go play golf or try to rape another 12 year old because he's immune.

My latest.
Project 2025 advances an extreme MAGA agenda that is fiercely isolationist, xenophobic and disdainful of democratic norms. It demonizes intellectuals, dismisses experts and idolizes charismatic strongmen. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

Don't ever let someone tell you that your vote doesn't matter and can't change anything. These four races I was involved in all took place in SEPA in the past decade; there are many more all over the country, every year.

I think the people bavking Trump want to be feudal lords, or figure they already are and those pesky laws are just in the way. And SCOTUS serves a role as the quasi-Church.

Alas, the Philadelphia Inquirer didn't carry this strip back then. But I got to catch up in the early 90s when Dark Horse reprinted them as "Classic Star Wars."

Yeah, one of the things that I've been thinking about in the wake of the decision is how -- legally, anyway -- the military refuses an "illegal" order at this point. It seems to come down to purely a matter of conscience, not legality.

Yeah, you have to isolate, run filters constantly, and stay masked indoors. It's a pain, but I've managed to about it both times it's been in my house (kid once, wife once).

Sounds like you're doing the right thing. For what it's worth, my wife, a family physician, waited for two consecutive no-question negative tests within 48 hrs before finally letting her guard down after she had it.

Taking the framers' view, there existed at the founding a history and tradition of beheading tyrannical rulers in England.

Don't just vote, then. Volunteer. Phone or text bank, travel to neighboring states to knock doors, whatever it takes. I was out knocking doors this Saturday in Philly, and we had a guy up from DC helping out. DC will vote blue, but PA is a battleground. You can do that, too.

Yeah, at this point it should be obvious that the "Draft [Someone]" movement is dead in the water. It might've been a useful hypothetical to explore, but it ain't happening, and it shouldn't happen at this point. For everyone else: You're worried? Go knock doors. You aren't powerless here.

I'll bite. If the argument isn't in favor of Bide, it's in favor of Harris. Biden on a bad day is still a better choice than Trump. And if Biden dies or retires, Harris would actually be a good President. So, stick with Biden because the alternative is chaos, and this way you get Harris.

"Just as Americans are not living under a Biden dictatorship — in which the watchful eye of Dark Brandon prowls the nation in search of malarkey —" I actually laughed out loud at that. Well played.

I'm ok with boring trolls. The other place had "interesting trolls," and it contributed to the enshittification of the discourse there. Folks will shrug and walk away from a boring fight.

Remember when Brad Parscale described Trump's reelection campaign as "The Death Star"? Yeah. It's because they're drawn to raw, authoritarian power.

today's casual reminder to journalists that the US Congress does not actually certify whether or not the Electoral College certificates are valid - that is done, as it should be, by archivists at National Archives - Congress' role is merely to count the already-certified certificates - that's it

The question implies that one was, in fact, taught civics in school. I suspect many aren't, though that's admittedly reasoning backwards based on the viral posts in question.
