To anyone saying they could/would never actually do that, I feel it’s important to note that the post office used to be open on Sundays until the conservative Christians got their way.

Sir, why have you not banned golf yet? This climate crisis is all your fault.

Why is the media not talking about all of this below ? All they talk about is what’s highlighted. That’s not near what I call news as the rest of the post is.

I think the 1619 Project has really gotten to them in ways we aren’t fully appreciating. Like they’re legitimately traumatized.

And I’m sure that the media won‘t feast on the chaos. There’s no way they can oust Biden and not utterly destroy themselves. The only possible alternative to Biden is to put Harris at the top of the ticket. Any other way is suicide.

The greatest song in all of history is Fiona Apple’s cover of Across the Universe. However, I’m going to say Tom Jones and the Cardigans doing Burning Down the House because it’s so fun.

It would be nice if our media institutions were able to apply some historical context, or even their own memories. Maddow did a bit comparing Trump to the Know-Nothings years ago.

If you’re a single issue voter, and your issue is American foreign policy, there are only two choices: bad or worse. You can take the moral high ground and choose not to choose, but that will never improve anything on any issue. You want to change something, call/harass your Congresspeople.

The biggest problem with this line of reasoning is that *Biden* isn’t the genocide enabler, *American foreign policy for the last 120 yrs* is the genocide enabler, and you aren’t going to vote (or not vote) that out. Biden isn’t worse on this issue than Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. but Trump IS worse.

Well I live in NY and we’ve had two governors resign recently so I disagree completely about the ‘respect the will of the voters’ nonsense. We shouldn’t be held hostage to term limits if an elected official is bad.

Okay, but Al Franken wasn’t removed from office, he resigned. Best case scenario, he reflected on his past actions, felt shame, and resigned so a less compromised Dem could take his place. Is the argument Democrats act with integrity? Or are you saying that sexpests shouldn’t resign?

I didn’t study philosophy, is there a term for a person who hurts their own arguments by being an abrasive and completely unsympathetic person? Like, maybe their points are valid but nobody wants to listen to them because they’re annoying?

Ad hominem is “this guy works at Foot Locker, his opinion is worthless” Ad hominem is not, “this guy is an asshole” Hope that helps.

I don't know that this chart proves what it implies about the uniformly negative coverage of Biden, but I'm tempted to just post it under every NY Times and Washington Post skeet.

Nothing would make politics more interesting to the public than 3 televised events per week for the next 6 weeks. The networks would certainly feel competitive over that many events, and I’m sure the public would only get more interested as time went on.

I recommend taking five to ten minutes to put your US rep, US senators, and state and local elected officials into your phone contacts so you can instantly call them whenever you get mad, which will be every day from now until we die.

The FBI may take those shitposts seriously. Don’t be an asshole, and don’t post threats of violence on social media, even if you think the ‘joke’ is obvious.

Reminder that there are five ways to address the current SCOTUS problem. 1. Impeach some justices 2. Impose term limits 3. Expand the courts 4. Pass legislation limiting court prerogatives 5. Keep winning the presidency for the next 16 years or so while periodically also holding the senate.
