If the Democrats were ever going to run on abolishing the filibuster to protect people’s rights from republican fuckery, now would be the time. The institutions are destroyed already, but I’m not an old rich powerful shitbird, so what do I know.
again, incompetent or malfeasant, you be the Judge! is such a heinous game to play with like every politician in this country
for the accelerationists i'm not sure even they understand how radicalized young people are regarding the "system" you try and tell a 20yo about the constitution while they think they have no future and a boiling planet lmbo was hoping I wouldn't live through this tumult but it seems almost impossible to avoid at this point
Pretty cool that in one day we’ve given police the power to be more abusive, overruled gun laws, and said fuck women Shit by next week it’ll be illegal to be anything but a white Christian
Well, it isn’t like this was leaked in advance, and they knew it was coming. I don’t think going to war with the SCOTUS is as unpopular as the DC press will pretend it to be. Then again, everyone wanted to get out of Afghanistan, and they threw a fit about that so idk.
You think young people will be upset when Alito writes an opinion making it illegal to recycle or prohibit dumping waste into all the rivers?
Even my fucking dad came to this conclusion some time ago. My fucking dad wasn't a Democratic candidate for President of the fucking United States, however.
this is kind of the point, they reject the system altogether as illegitimate and undemocratic anti-system voting is very popular
What’s pretty soon? Because outside of this website it just seems to me that people move on to the next horrible thing. again, not an endorsement of the current situation, I just don’t see the balkanization/ secession/ revolution truly bubbling up.
I think the thing that has me black pilled the most is that there have been little to no real consequences for any of the heinous shit the right has done and there won’t be any. They just keep stacking W’s now that the project has matured. And all the Dems will do is say vote and fundraise. Shit sucks.
I feel like we're living in V For Vendetta except we never get to the mass revolution in the streets part and instead every day is just the scene where he burns alive in the fire
there never will be either even if all of this shit is fixed eventually nothing will happen of consequence to any of those people eat arbys
if we're evaporating folks the ossified Dem leadership isn't far behind the SCOTUS it really seems generational
Optimistically, maybe the more insane the decisions get the more normalized not paying any attention to them gets
In V for Vendetta, the British government is covering up their failed response to a disease that killed 80k or 100k people unnecessarily. Imagine such a shambolic thing happening in real life.
I'm really not looking forward to wherever this goes and I'm trying to find reasons to be optimistic but it's very hard
Male. A straight white Christian male. There’s no way they don’t go after other women’s rights, interracial marriage and gay marriage.
If I wasn't white and married to Ginni Thomas, there is no telling what I'd do to make a clean break from that.
