  • Liberals serve as a buffer to protect the right wing fascists from the left.

    They're right wing themselves, have been increasingly so since 1992 but ESPECIALLY since they took all the wrong lessons from 2016.

  • Already an extremely lopsided one going on.

    One side has 70-80% of the people, but the other has the vast majority of the money, power, weapons, and fanatics willing to oppress, abuse, and kill without hesitation.

  • When the smoke clears and the casualties are tallied by all the respective news outlets

    If, not when.

  • Yeah, "The Independent" has never lived up to its name, but if you had asked me a decade or two ago, I'd have thought it would draw the line at or before blatant fascist suppression of all dissent..

  • Nah, Neoliberals hate progressives and anyone who speaks against their owner donors including their favorite fascist apartheid regime.

    They're as indifferent towards Muslims below a certain wealth threshold as they are towards all the poors who don't personally enrich them.

    You're right that they don't hate Republicans, though. They'd gladly have dinner with even the worst fascist to discuss how best to suppress the left wing of their own party.

  • Nope. Hasn't been since Carter at the latest.

  • For fuck's sake! Danish governments have been getting worse and worse ever since Fogh introduced spin doctors to the system during the 2000 election and now awful demagoguery is the norm rather than the very rare exception it used to be 🤬

  • The order does not prohibit modification or repairs to existing facilities, “which are solely for the purpose of increasing safety or mitigating environmental or other risks at the site

    I bet it also doesn't prohibit providing the abductees with the legal aid they're constitutionally entitled to either. Neither is going to happen unless mandated and strictly enforced, though.

    Alligator Auschwitz is a concentration camp and needs to be closed yesterday.

  • Sometimes the seeds and peers just aren't there..

  • 🎵 it's the ciiiiiircle of cuuum! 🎵

  • Stuckey, host of the popular podcast “Relatable,” is one of two evangelicals who published books within the past year making Christian arguments against some forms of empathy.

    Naming podcasts sarcastically has officially gone too far.

  • Only the good die young..

  • He even starts by saying he's not a racist because he likes a black person. Clarence Thomas of all people.

    Clarence Thomas who hates black people almost as much as Stephen Miller hates Jewish people. On brand for the microface for sure.

  • This is fighting fire election manipulation with fire. election manipulation

    Fixed it for you. Two wrongs don't make a right and both major parties taking away the agency of voters and anything approaching a fair chance for third party and independent candidates doesn't fix democracy.

    Dems need to start punching the bully back twice as hard

    No. The mud wrestling with a pig analogy applies here.

  • Way to be completely right and then completely wrong in the next sentence 🤦

  • gerrymandering becomes less effective/ more risky the more extreme you do it, to when you take it to it's extreme or go past it, it backfires.

    Blue states have largely kept their powder dry

    Nope. They may not have been anywhere near as blatant about it as the fascist party, but Dem leadership around the country haven't been shy about giving themselves bigger incumbent advantages via redistricting when allowed to either.

  • Actually, the supreme courts of Texas and California are separate and distinct from each other.

    Texas courts failing to stop partisan gerrymandering aimed at political parties choosing their voters rather than the other way around wouldn't make it hypocritical for those in California to protect the concept of "one person, one vote".

    If anyone is being hypocritical here, it's Mike Johnson (for being against California doing it but for Texas doing it) and zero sum Democrats (for being against Texas doing it but not against California doing it) with no regard for the damage to representative democracy and any third party or independent candidates trying to take on the Neoliberal behemoth that is the California DNC from the left.
