Edit: quote:Subsequently Reade was investigated by prosecutors in Monterey County, California, for lying under oath about her educational credentials in her appearances as an expert witness on domestic abuse. The investigation determined that she had made false statements under oath, but Reade was not prosecuted for perjury because those statements had not been material to the outcome of a legal case.

Yeah, 1 waterless western state with alfalfa as a main export down, only literally every other western state to go and then MAYBE the Great Salt Lake won't turn into a toxic arsenic dustbowl. mutata fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Oct 3, 2023 |

Sounds like... opportunity! Someone should go to Louisiana, kill the apparently frail and weak King of the Democrats there, and assume the throne as the new King of the Louisiana Democrats.Charliegrs posted:Biden did an interview on 60 minutes and uh, yeah he looks like poo poo. I'm half his age and if I was working the kind of long days he's no doubt been working this past week I'd look like poo poo too. But still, it's a bit concerning when the guy with his finger on the nuclear button looks like he's about to nod off any second. I would prefer ALL nuclear button-watchers to just nod off on the job, frankly. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

They should just start calling full quorum votes for each gop rep one at a time until someone gets the votes. Just go alphabetically.

burnishedfume posted:People telling you to vote are generally doing it because they want the party that has a large Christian ISIS base to not be in power and to not write laws, it's not that deep fam Yeah, I have little to no patience for dumbasses who don't vote for the obviously less evil candidates under whom various people would have a tangibly higher quality of life (like literally any group other than white men). Take that hand wringing and write a blogpost about it and go vote for people who want to kill and ruin fewer people. I have no time for your boring rear end philosophizing.

That's fine, but the bare metal of applying that specific leverage in this case is more votes for GOP candidates. Maybe you live in an area where that doesn't make a lick of a difference (I lived in Utah for 16 or so years, I get it), in which case you get the luxury of a protest vote. If you live somewhere where it's close, then a protest vote or a non-vote directly supports getting GOP candidates elected. That's pretty much it, I dunno. Any argument beyond this is pretty arbitrary and academic, in my view.

My dude, I ain't having that talk with my or anyone's grandkids at all ever. I can't tell the future and I'm doing my best. Edit: Politics, unfortunately, isn't a single-issue thing. If I was going to be a single issue voter, I would vote exclusively based on climate change views and policies, anyway (speaking of "awkward things your grandkids are gonna ask you about"). mutata fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Oct 28, 2023 |

selec posted:I’d read some more history then. It lends a lot of clarity. People were running around with their heads on fire trying to get the west to care about the run up to and then the process of genocide before, within living memory. It’s important to understand what happened before to stop making similar mistakes. There’s a cliché quote about being doomed to repeat that is so tiresome it seems meaningless until you’re in the middle of seeing it repeat. Suddenly I don't know history and must hear a sermon, lol.

Neurolimal posted:If you can't be held accountable for voting for someone, then Trump voters can't be held accountable for voting for Trump. They simply made the insignificant moral calculus of choosing who they perceived to be the lesser evil, probably didn't think he'd actually follow through on anything; he didn't even build the wall! This is a false dichotomy. It's not binary.
