i dont know if its always been like this but among the elites theres just no sense of responsibility to be good stewards of the society thats given them everything
It is a politician’s job to convince a voter to vote for them. It is not a voter’s responsibility to vote for someone that hasn’t won their vote. That’s how democracy works.
It's not only acceptable, it's the only morally defensible position. You liberals are so hopelessly servile that you at no point question why your elected representatives dont seem to be taking the fascism crisis half as seriously as you expect the rest of us to. Craven and deluded, every one of you
A: "I'm withholding my vote to pressure candidates into pushing actual policy and legislation"
B: "I don't care I'm just voting blue every time it doesnt make a difference who the candidate is"
Which ones are the nihilists again? And which are the grim realists? Liberal projection, rampant as ever
In your defense they do all kind of look the same
"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.
Sometimes I pop some Tylenol just in case

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?
The fact is that fraud, waste and abuse in the private sector absolutely dwarfs anything that will ever happen in the government. Trillions sit idle in offshore accounts, rich people throw away billions on overpriced luxury goods, white collar crime is prolific and perpetual.
Leftists need to avoid falling into the trap of litigating whether various cases of "fraud, waste, and abuse" in the government actually happened or not. Two things are true:
1) Fraud, waste and abuse happen sometimes
2) This is just an argument for better governance, not for less governance.
look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts
We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.
Abolish profit
the reason the media doesnt cover stories is because right-wing podcasts funded by billionaires set the information agenda in this country for mainstream media

This here...this is what should be happening all the time.
And not just with ICE Agents...but with politicians and billionaires too.
Why should people that do this much harm have a right to peace? Why should they have a right to walk a mall unaccosted? To go to a fucking McDonald's? To comfort?

No, that's the most *likely* outcome. We're trying to have fun here
You're out of control
This is a true & effectively irrefutable argument ... which is why it's so fun to read the absolute cosmic nonsense in the comments.
"I need to go higher than the speed limit when I'm passing/avoiding something/driving in snow/feel like it!"
It is kind of nirvana in its absolute obviousness, as juxtaposed with the atavistic rage it inflames in belligerent driver-commenter types
