This shit is so backwards. People are getting blackmailed competitively by this guy in broad daylight. I know it died long ago, but it was the death of liberty when we introduced MTX/P2W politics—fuck Citizens United.

This might be true, but it’s not aligned with the posted article: it highlighted how Latino & Asian voters went to the right because they saw the democrats as ineffectual and as Trump spouting rhetoric instead of legit policy. It also noted how older immigrants saw “new immigrants” as somehow ‘worse mannered’ than them.

The GOP strategy has long been “block Dems” in order to make the federal systems look ineffectual at helping: that’s what happened, at least to these voters in this article.

As a person who grew up in American schools post-Columbine, with kids in schools now, and none of us are CEOs, this is probably the take that saddens me most about this whole event. It’s our kids, and the argument used to be about freedom. Soon, we won’t even have that. What was the fucking point? (Rhetorical: profit)

I know we’re all alive at a special time in humanity. We think we’re so civilized. Then I look around, and it’s the same history playing on repeat. When do the monkeys figure out it’s one species? (Rhetorical again: 😬)

It’s 4 years until the next scheduled bullshit, whether that’s a third term, eradicating the constitution, or bringing about the end of America / the west / humanity. We could all go up sooner, but I expect Bo Burnham’s “7 more to go,” to somehow be right (came out in 2021, so 2028 seems about right).

We lost freedoms during Bush, carried on by every president since. I guess we’ll see what happens to the machinations next…

Thanks for the updoots & the fish. Hope it was a good ride.

Yeah, I don’t mean to be pessimistic, but given all the knee bending, I don’t have much hope for the next 4 years and beyond when it comes to freedom. I don’t think most MAGA people have respect for the constitution or law & order. That respect seems to be eroded.

Thank you for answering the rhetorical question, homie. ✌️Money is the root of all evil.

Hurt people hurt people. I don’t know how to fix things. But if we go around destroying one another, what will be left?

I think the system is immoral. It should be abolished. An absurd takeaway from that would be “health insurance workers should be jailed.”

I find it challenging to say our humanity is through being inhuman to one another. Wouldn’t our humanity need to come from humane action?

I’m as upset as everyone else about these machinations. Everyone is a child of someone. If we don’t remember that, all is lost.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. She could have said DDD without “you people are next.”

Having said that, if we’re really judging people, and corporations are people, why isn’t the denial of health care seen as manslaughter? 70 people pass every day due to the lack of medical care in America. We have worse outcomes, shorter average life than other civilized countries.

When is a corporation sued for murder & sent to jail? I know it sounds crazy, but that’s the point. These systems aren’t making sense. They lack humanity. This is a bad, morally bankrupt system. Older Americans loves their Medicare: that’s socialism.

I’m so sick of this shit.

Thanks for playing! Glad it was wasted. Go study capitalism & tell me about the price of jeeps. 🤓

Can we get more of the corporate art style bent with aggression and class solidarity? /s
