I am too, if only because I think the people determined to start a panic really aren't doing much more than pissing their own pants. I was seeing it on LGM myself (until I nuked myself). The pushback the front pagers there kept getting was very encouraging.

I admire your patience with people you consider colleagues. Especially as I finally ran out of it. Keep fighting the good fight, and we'll see where everything lies in the end.

It's REALLY easy to want a bloody fight when it's not your knuckles getting dusted. Your actions would start a war. I'm GLAD you're not in charge.

Conservatives demand an immediate stay. It's granted by the very justices you're trying to remove. Congratulations, you've just lit the match that potentially starts the Second Civil War. Good job. We aren't going to beat the Republicans at their own game.

The fundamental problem is that SCOTUS really only gave REPUBLICAN presidents immunity. What an "official act" actually is was left undefined and subject to the courts. If you think they'll have the same standards for Biden that they'd have for Trump, I don't know what to tell you.

If elections are "rigged," THIS is where the deck is stacked, not by 2000 mules.

The only thing that's really changed is that we're seeing just how many profoundly shitty people there are in this world. But the truth is that they've always been there. They weren't cultivated. They've been recruited.

To hell with the "last couple generations." The desire for one tribal leader who can fix everything so that they don't have to think about politics has been a thing since recorded human history was a thing.

I think you'd be pretty fucking depressed to learn just how many people in the world think representative government is too much hassle, and they'd far prefer to choose one person to make all their perceived problems go away.

The UK was/is/probably always will be one of the most EU-skeptic nations that could feasibly be in the European Union. Even the far-left's hero Corbyn frowned pretty hard at the EU and only reluctantly offered support for it at the 11th hour. Not surprised at all that Starmer is lukewarm.

He plans to run things as a center or light center-left. That... was hardly a secret even to me a full ocean and a half away. Dunno why it would be a surprise to anyone, honestly.

Well, I have seen first hand the recoil political parties can take when they make promises that they can't (or won't) keep. Dude's party by all accounts is heading for a landslide victory already.

Generally when someone blocks me, I assume it was a good reason for them, and this there's probably a good reason for me to block 'em right back.

She said not have to be invested in saving democracy every single election, and that is true. It SHOULDN'T be a life or death fight every four years. That's not the same as not being informed and invested in our politics as a whole.

She didn't say that. She said that politics should be boring, not that you shouldn't be invested.

I've concluded that a second Civil War is inevitable. To squash it peacefully would require a coordinated effort from every non-fascist for over a generation to shut them out of any branch of power. And I've think we've established that is simply not going to happen.

Hey, can everyone in America do me a favor? Stop projecting what they want from an undefined Democratic presidential candidate, and just get a head start on the part where you're disappointed that you not getting everything you want. Please and thank you.

They do this because they have (cleverly) reserved what determines an "official act" to the courts. If you think they won't have two VERY different definitions depending on who is in the White House, I have a bridge in northern Michigan I'm looking to sell.

Some of the biggest resistance reactionaries have faced in the last hundred years have come from agencies outside the traditional two-party structure.

Doesn't really matter as long as THIS Supreme Court is the one deciding what acts are official and which ones aren't.

Problem is, I'm not even sure if those people prefer to be alive anymore; considering how eager they are to do stuff that increases their chances of dying.

The issue isn't necessarily the performative politics. It's blaming Democrats when the performative politics on their own fail.

Because if you believe that laws should mean something, there really isn't a logical, legal response to "neener neener."

Biden sounded old. Trump sounded deranged. The media has been so fixated on the former that maybe they forgot the latter doesn't sell terribly well with "normal" people either. Or they willfully hoped normal people wouldn't notice.

Note to the conspiracy theorists: There's no secret cabal waiting to hurt you from within the shadows. You just don't want to turn the fucking light on and look for yourself.

I dunno... I'd put some good ol 80's crack up against anything the Victorians bubbled up. My early teens was littered with stuff that could have killed an elephant.

There is a whole lot in entertainment in general that could be fixed if the people in entertainment accepted that success is more driven by blind luck than anything else.

On one hand, I want to believe context would make that headline make sense. On the other hand, I'm a little scared context would only make it worse.
