I mean, we’ve seen who this country elected over the course of the last 30 years. We know this kind of history just puts people to sleep.

Fair point
It’s not trolling. It’s history.
After the '94 Crime Bill, you can’t blame Biden. He’s done everything he possibly could to fill those prisons.
It’s astonishing.
The capitalists know full well we’re more productive working remotely, but their need for control has proven to be stronger than their insatiable greed anyway.
Private prison stocks are a solid investment in the US specifically.
Hell, our judges sell people to the prison system.
That’s the thing.
You used to be able to count on Democrats to fight for social issues, at least. The Dems we have now are only concerned with increasing their own wealth, and that was very well-evidenced by their response to the Roe vs Wade leaks. Do you recall their response? They used it to fundraise and did nothing else. ($80,000,000 was the cost of your rights to bodily autonomy, in case you’re curious.)
And now 2/3 of the states will get away with criminalizing abortion within another year or two, tops.
I remember when, in his first SOTU, Joe Biden mocked the Defund The Police movement, and called for increased police funding, even though the police are overtly fascist in most of the country and we all had just watched them proudly execute a man in the streets.
Now he’s sending more bombs to Israel.
If you’re telling yourself the Dems are the answer, I think you’re just asleep at the wheel here.
There’s no ‘want’ to it.
They already have. Idaho got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will do the same next session, just like how 2/3 of the states still allow for you to be paid $7 an hour.
In the absence of a true opposition party, the wolves are feasting.
Christ, that’s so horrific to consider, all around.
Sounds awesome. I average 12k steps a day, might as well do so while enjoying a fun game. :)
And good old Bard’s Tale. :)
You’re not wrong.
There’s a set of Henry’s armor hanging out at the Met as well. I was pleasantly surprised to bump into it en route to see the gaudy-as-hell frame they put on Washington Crossing the Delaware.
Since we can’t meet Henry himself, meeting one of his suits of armor is the next best thing. It wasn’t nearly as fat as the paintings would suggest.
Bernie had it right, we have to save the Dem party before we can use it to save the country.
After seeing what happened to Bernie, I find your assertion to be completely unreasonable.
You have to divorce yourselves from the Dems and their dark money if you want meaningful change.
So you write them in and encourage everyone you know to do the same.
People literally die horrible deaths because of the “lesser of two evils”.
I’m not sure how bad it’s going to have to get before Democrats will vote Green, but I get the sense that by the time they’re willing to do so it will be too late anyway.
Ooo, that’d be fun!
Same, except I am a legal tech and professional artist.
I love that I can make my money in a dark, air-conditioned room and just read about all the cool shit we’re learning about dinosaurs.
IMHO also the pinnacle of LOTR-related video games.
Also a fair point.
