If history tells us anything, fascists love advertising that they're actually socialists and that you should definitely vote for them. And North Carolina got a little taste of what that might feel like last year.

Santa's the one buying all the personal information because he has to update the naughty list

Does this also apply to primaries? My ruby red state has an open primary, and our democrat ran unopposed, so I voted for the less "trumpy" republican for state positions. Excited that my state will have the PSL candidate on the ticket this November though.

Joining/starting unions and mass strikes would be much faster if you are able. Sure, vote too, but the premise of this post specifically says they don't care what you think. Make them care.

Representatives chosen by sortition like jury duty would be more representative compared to what we currently have, and that's such a wild thought.

How about, instead of arguing definitions of words that are constantly misused by people who want liberalism to mean anything stretching from neoliberalism to communism (which is weird how you'd take conservative's definition of liberal at face value), you talk about how much your individual ideas have ratcheted to the right instead? I'm also not the original person who blamed your position on your liberalism.

Insular, America-centric, "we must have the most firepower to protect us from the evil people", is absolutely the rhetoric used by republicans in 2008. Maybe if you traveled back in time, you'd be voting for Mitt Romney regardless of how safe his dog was. It's entirely a fear-based position to have, and that's been the republican MO for a while. Our military industrial complex makes us less safe because it constantly creates situations that guarantees its own existence. Protecting your comfort through global threat of violence is a cowardly position to uphold.

Ah yes, if you're the biggest and most violent bully in the school yard, you don't have to worry about being beat up. Just say "they hate us for our freedom" in the mirror 3 times while ignoring any sort of actions we do as a country that might make other people or countries want to attack us. I swear, your exact message could've been said by the average republican in 2008.

It's not like they're arming queer people.

Yikes. I'd rather get arrested than hold that banner

Blackstone wants democrats to win while Blackrock wants republicans to win. To corporations, the choice between biden and trump is like Coke vs Pepsi because they largely win either way even if they’re a bit disappointed they have to drink Pepsi when they wanted Coke.

If America is going to go through the trouble to convert everything to metric, might as well switch to base 10/decimal time as well lol
