Remember Sarandon being one of those "Bernie or Bust" bros? Those folks gave us Trump v1. These new folks are giving us Trump v2 which will be possibly the greatest blow to America we've seen. I hear young people say "Well Biden supports Israel so I can't vote for him" O.M.F.G.

For stuff like this relating to humans, it's worth pointing out to folks that homo sapiens simply haven't been around long enough for these kinds of evolutions to have happened, and are more likely the result of what characteristics are found to be attactive among various groups of humans.

I'm assuming a lot is related to John Oliver talking about it a show or two ago. I think before that it was pretty "under-the-radar" for many folks.

It has always blown my mind at how many cars get hit by trains. I'm almost ready to adopt it as a law of physics - "cars conk out when they go over train tracks", or maybe "cars are drawn to train tracks"

Isn't there something like "the president doesn't really have all that much power without Congress"? Say wahtever about Biden, he's been old forever. But his last administration passed a LOT of great policy, namely all the subsets of the IRA.

Dems should have rammed through making voting a paid national holiday, ranked choice and compulsory. After that, they should have expanded the Supreme Court, abolished the electoral college, and on and on. The problem is Dems never think Republicans could "be that bad". Look at Roe v Wade...

Not to mention Republicans want to dismantle the Dept of Education, Commerce and Justice, NOAA, and the FBI. Not to mention this fun bit: "Pornography should be outlawed and the people who distribute it should be imprisoned" Just lol, except NOT lol, because this shit is very, VERY possible.

Project 2025 is the layman's guide to dismantling the federal government in favor of coprorations running everything for MAX PROFIT. You think American corporate capitalism is bad now? If Trump wins, only the wealthy survive. (and white, straight folks - everyone else will be illegal)

I'd also suggest checking out a reputable VPN that verifies they use log-less servers. I like NordVPN. KeepassXC anyone? Yubikeys? Maybe also checkout running Linux in a virtual machine.

This was my list on the other site. Figuring the electoral college would be hard to dismantle, I think we should make voting 1) a paid national holiday 2) ranked choice 3) compulsory That would buy Dems enough time to push major policy like the ACA and IRA - things that benefit millions.

The States Project is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options for your campaign donations. Even beyond it, though, state legislatures deserve your attention. Next time you're tempted to send money to whoever's going to lose to MTG, send it instead to a contested state leg seat.

Trump lost by 3 million votes in 2016 and 7 million in 2020. These are razor thin margins, but America seems to still be on the side of "sanity". Can't let up now!

Failing to defend your accomplishments doesn't affect those accomplishments.
Changing candidates now will split the party and hand the Presidency to Trump.
I can't even imagine doing this 4 months before the most important election of our time.

That this is coming up now is just bonkers.

Is it any real surprise that, in America, it's illegal to not be a capitalist (i.e. poor).
We've penalized the poor for our entire history.
What's depressingly humorous is this attitude has finally yeilded a generation that will never have wealth.
Sorry kids!

We need an empathetic human to address the social shortfalls of modern corporate/consumer capitalism that is also will to be a ruthless asshole in order to fight the system. That personality type does not run for public office in general, and specifically not for the Presidency.

If you're heterosexual, not poor, and not someone of color, you'll probably be ok(ish). If you're anything else, you could possibly be illegal in a few months. (and and we might also not have a Federal government in a year)
