A shame she was evil

Also I think a clear modification to the monetary punishments is making them progressive as opposed to a flat percentage which would address your point of impact

Fair points but I was not speaking of monetary penalties specifically

It's way too early to make predictions, but Newsom pulling a Kamala and dropping out before the first votes would be a funny and perhaps probable outcome

Punishment proportional to wealth/status is a good idea to keep those people in check and obviously why we have the exact opposite

This cycle has really Loony Left potential in its Democratic candidates so at the very least we'll get an interesting batch of freshmen

It's a message to Trump that they're going to move on from him so if he tries some scheme he'll be hung out to dry

No better example of class consciousness asserting itself than the willingness of some people to redeem guys like Rufo even when they openly and proudly caused the problems

I know politics is just levels of "I told you so" and "you'll be sorry" but all of that is just having fun online doing discourse and nothing else

Also everyone is so weird smug and condescending about not nodding along to the idea Trump is all powerful and somehow still popular. Very weird way to verbalize their fears

Yeah okay I don't think there's mountains of anything and Trump obviously loses in 2028 if he runs so this is all just filling time with discourse

There is no serious conversation about the 2028 election right now, just people filling time having one anyway

They're not building up a new candidate because we're three years away from the election. You're reading too much into nothing

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all”

Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since

“Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

Next year...

Movie of 2025. A perfect representation of politics during and after covid. It's the movie you'll show people in 50 years to explain living in that time

no, no save those bullets for the actual guy

I think about this a lot whenever someone reads off their blood quanta 23 and Me results. You're just a white American. None of that "heritage" shit matters. You don't live any of it and it's unlikely your parents or grandparents did

Zion is a favorite destination of mine, whether I lose anything or not

Uh oh

I do know which sort of people gravitated toward Tulsi over Bernie and they're all completely brain broken cranks now, so she at least served the purpose of peeling away those people

On Twitter, there's some coordinated effort to retcon Tulsi into a candidate chosen by the left and it has me reflect on how many regretable people were orbiting the Bernie movement

when your batting average is that good, you accept some strikeouts

"civil debate" thing is fake, liberal college bullshit

IRL if you express an abhorrent position, people don't debate you, they look horrified and boo you, try to ignore you, laugh at you, or beat you

Just another case of mistaking their timeline as representative of the world

It'll be a test whether famous TV person really is a viable candidate path but I'm not sold on it

We're told "vote and you'll change things" and at a certain people when people see little to no change, they might ask why. That's why it's worth pointing out why the Democrats aren't really an alternative

I think you have a point that communists and socialists should spend less time talking about the Democrats and fighting with the remaining believers, but there's still value in having a discourse outside the two party framework for when people seek answers for why things are the way they are

Because when you're ready to ask the question "why do liberals lose elections to cretinous, demonic charlatans?" and "why do people grow more discontent even when Democrats are in power?" we'll have answers
