This is why it's so frustrating to see people saying they won't vote because Biden is old (yes) and supports Israel (mostly true, albeit more complicated than that). Neat, but if Trump gets reelected, I'd be willing to bet that most of the conservative justices suddenly retire and we end up with a bunch of 35 year olds with lifetime appointments who can spend decades fucking stuff up. Hooray!

It's so dumb, I don't understand why people just refuse to think about the long term consequences instead of just "i want to vote for the perfect person right now so if no one is perfect i won't vote." Like I know Biden is a terrible candidate, but like I'd personally like to still have a department of education by the next election????

Honestly... I'd just settle for a next election....

If they can't grasp they are voting for a executive branch run by thousands of people either attached to one 80 year old or the other is the reality of this, it's going to be hard to convince them.

Trump wins that means we're back to the foxes running the hen house in every government office, all the worst of Trump cronyism will be back and 1000x worse.

We already did that. Every fucked up thing the courts are doing is a trump judge for life.

  • find judge’s name
  • search
  • see who appointed them

It’s every time.

Fuck this fundamentalist court. It has zero credibility.

[–] disguy_ovahea 23 points 4 months ago

*Just a reminder that we got this court by abstaining from voting in 2016.

B-b-bit Biden is old and I don't feel excited! /s

🤦🏽

Maybe the establishment shouldn't put such a loser up for president. The Hillary Clinton defense is repugnant.

[–] CaptainKickass 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you'd had held your nose and voted for Clinton we wouldn't be here right now. 🤷

Holding one's nose every 4 fucking years isn't a good system. If Biden isn't pushed to retirement, we're going to lose. Maybe that's what we deserve.

[–] CaptainKickass 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So enabling fascists as a protest of some kind is your plan?

It's what you deserve maybe, not the rest of us.

[–] Pilferjinx 1 points 4 months ago

No, I'll vote for the NotTrump party. But if he still wins, I'll just consider it part of the natural evolution of the kind of system that it is. We'll have to fight for it back, it won't be easy, there could be a lot of blood, but, I think, democracy is worth it.

The Supreme Court has been fully corrupted. A dictator is probably going to win the presidency. We need to do something stat

Glad I'm not the only one that tried to read the capital letters...

Taking A Handmaid's Tale as a development plan is an interesting play, to be sure.

omg if you rearrange the letters it spells "BEWITCHERS" and "ML". And we all know "ML" can only stand for one of two things:

  • machine learning, as in the robots are taking over and ruining society, or
  • :3 mlem :P

Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but what’s the pattern?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

Movement toward christofascism.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago

See: The Handmaid's Tale.

[–] CaptainKickass 10 points 4 months ago

It does sound ignorant, but....

It's the USA's rapid descent into a theocratic/fascist country
