The country doesn’t want the change we want.

Of course not. Most of them are comfortable enough as-is. Most people don’t have a strong political philosophy - they’re just trying to maintain what they have, and maybe find a way to have a bit more.

From what? Most of the attacks against him come from behind him.

They’d be using laws requiring equal treatment of protected classes most likely.

Pointing out your wanton violation of language isn’t pearl clutching.

If your use of the word warlord is equivocated to all hell like your other vocab choices our warlord might be a janitor or some shit, so it’s hard to say.

Edit: also, merry christmas. I hope the holiday season has been well :)

A CEO is a position, not a person. Killing him isn’t any sort of defense when he isn’t actively endangering others.

It’s murder, even if it’s justified. Stop these idiotic word games. They only weaken your position.

You’d think hearing him speak would make anyone hate him already.

Skeptic spaces had already fractured. The same thing happened in gaming, though, which was a much larger community.

These hills are all they’re going to let us have. We’ll keep eating our own in the same valley every four years.

Because it’s not a useful strategy. Convince them they’re wrong and they’ll shame themselves.

Nobody has denied there are problems with me, but the fault is still largely on women.

You’re in denial. Enjoy your drinks in the Cheney bar.

They’re easy targets. Blame the abstainers and third party voters and you don’t have to confront the legitimate failures of your party and campaign.

What’s the wealth inequality metric for them?

It’s weird, but kind of accurate a lot of times. If they negotiate for an earmark or project, they did technically bring the money in - even if it’s something they would prefer not to have passed.

I’ve certainly been in similar situations at work where we all agree something is stupid, but make sure to get something out of it.

That’s silly. They don’t want anyone to get it. It’s their money as much as it is ours, so of course the reps should be fighting for their districts even if they hope the bill fails.

You can vote against a bill and still be responsible for specific portions of it or how it gets distributed. You fight for your state and district to get their pork even if you disagree with slaughtering the pig.

Go to c/fuckcars. Not sure which instance. The anti-road peeps are consistent and the American ones are progressive and would probably have to be tortured to vote R.

Government and corporate interests can’t help but suck each other off. Petty tyrants are gonna tyrant.

Weird. How did those ISPs end up the only option?

Do we need a “don’t parse xml with LLM” copypasta?
