endlessmonotony posted:Does it need to be explained why it's wrong when we have evidence people won't do it and a list of their reasons? Yes. Because I'm not the DNC, and you're not the amalgam canonical voter in chuck schumers head. We're individuals making individual actions and we're permitted to analyze our own actions.

fart simpson posted:everyone draws a line in the sand they won't cross. why is yours better than mine? The problem with this is that non-participation has a moral weight to it. It's not fair to say that people who vote are guilty for all the actions of the candidate and that people who stay home aren't guilty of anything. In reality, total political non-action is the least moral thing you can do. I'm not saying that you personally don't take political action outside of voting, but that this is the problem with the argument in the general case. Inaction is action

Everybody knows that you can't live in America without participating in capitalism. You read all over that there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. I believe as well that there is no moral vote under capitalism, but as well not voting is a type of participation with the same weight and the same moral problems. Now with all the moral problems being equal, and now I'm already here voting for the down ballot candidates, how can I justify not voting against trump? I don't think I can.

MAGAmen say "oh the left has no real critique of trump, its just orange man bad". Just plug that into the universal law of conservative projection and you'll realize that the entire reason they like trump is actually 'orange man good' and there is no policy piece to it.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:There's been a meme for years about how there's a Trump piss tape out there and the joke of it all is that it wouldn't matter if there were. If the Trump piss tape came out tomorrow, piss parlors would open all over red state America and real American patriots would be drinking piss and talking about how much they love it. Mitt Romney would say the tape is troubling, but powerful men have strange needs and nothing illegal is happening. It came out like two years ago and people just said "well, it can't be real because he's the president" and that was that.

Roosevelt posted:the US national debt at this point is such an abstract concept to me. it's like trying to hear the sound of a color. i used to think a debt was something you pay back, but now what. ok you guys want your 27 trillion dollars back? suck my red white and blue balls! It does get paid back. If you buy a bond you will get paid in full. The real poo poo about the debt is that its almost 100% owned by american people and businesses. The debt is an income source for all kinds of investors and retirement funds. It would actually cause severe problems if it were eliminated for this reason. The way to think about the debt is that its a redistribution mechanism. We should see cash going out as neither good or bad. It just depends who gets taxed and who gets the bond returns.

Truman Peyote posted:any prosecution of trump is ultimately just the impeachment all over again: something liberals can use to try to slow the frenzy they've been in since 2016, to try to feel like things are """normal""" again, which is what they really want because they didn't have a fundamental problem with the status quo back then. you can execute trump by guillotine on the national mall and the march toward general penury and collapse will continue. It doesn't matter - It's the right thing to do so we should try anyway. gently caress those ghouls, I don't give a poo poo if its "going to work" by whatever lame metric you have in mind. Do it anyway.

Truman Peyote posted:my problem isn't that it won't work. my problem is that it's backwards-looking. if one could do it for free then yes, they should do it because it's right, but there is a cost - it's time and political capital that could be spent undermining the future success of billionaires and reactionaries Political capital doesn't exist. It's more fake than the US debt. Have you ever heard a republican talk about running out of political capital? What a loving joke...It's like driving for nascar and explaining that you can't press the gas pedal too much because the fans might get bored.

My work announced that we're never going back to full time office work. I should probably move...somewhere. I worked with a guy once that told me every city is basically exactly the same. He said "just move anywhere cheap and its the people you know that matters not anything to do with the city". I think he's probably onto something but at this point I don't know anyone in real life.

All I want is to live somewhere nice, not too dense like gently caress downtown NYC or Chicago for example, but like you can ride a bike to a dentist, doctor, grocery store, park to run at. Um I think that's everything I need. A library? Some mountains maybe, and oh bortle 2-3 skies within 40 miles by bicycle.
