So we’ve gone up from 4th Amendment violations to the 5th Amendment. Soon it’ll be 6th, and the 13th is a little shaky.

    This shit will happen every day from now on until something is done about it- and complaining doesn’t seem to be the solve.

      I hate to admit this but I’m terrified to go beyond complaining. I don’t want to have to fight these fucking ghouls. But I guess the pool of options is evaporating.

        Don’t fight these ghouls. They are a symptom; oligarchs are the disease.

              LOL, what the FUCK? How? That makes no sense.

              Me asking some random person encouraging others to get killed what he is contributing makes me a “narc”?

              These internet warriors are trying to incite violence from the safety of their keyboards. They deserve to be called out. And the fact that all you can respond with is a childish, irrelevant insult says it all.

              bate

              I think you mean bait. Just trying to help.

              Bait and bate are homonyms, sound the same but have different spelling and meanings.

              bate /bāt/ transitive verb

              1. To lessen the force or intensity of; moderate.
              2. To take away; subtract.
              3. To lessen by retrenching, deducting, or reducing; to abate; to beat down; to lower.

              bait /bāt/

              noun

              1. Food or other lure placed on a hook or in a trap and used in the taking of fish, birds, or other animals.
              2. Something, such as a worm, used for this purpose.
              3. An enticement, temptation, or provocation.

                That’s what I thought, debate bate.

                And would you look at that! It comes with a bonus MAGA accusation! A two-fer!

                I’ll digress…

                If it might help you later on, it’s best not to make assumptions based entirely on someone’s unwillingness to argue with you online. It just ends up making you look like a fool. And we really don’t need that now when we’re supposed to be unified.

                Just some friendly advice.

                  That’s what I thought, debate bate.

                  LOL, “debate bate”, this is a discussion forum. You’re insulting me for using such a forum to engage debate?

                  Let’s just be honest, you’re deflecting because you don’t want to answer my question.

                  And would you look at that! It comes with a bonus MAGA accusation! A two-fer!

                  Yes, your obvious deflection is akin to MAGA tactics, they do it all the time. You’re doing AGAIN, right here.

                  If it might help you later on, it’s best not to make assumptions based entirely on someone’s unwillingness to argue with you online. It just ends up making you look like a fool. And we really don’t need that now when we’re supposed to be unified.

                  Lol, you’re so full of shit, what a joke. I’m not making an assumption, your refusal to answer IS an answer. You feel free to encourage others to get themselves killed while doing NOTHING yourself.

                  Just some friendly advice: everyone can see what’s going on here. Pretending to be too high and mighty to engage in debate is a thin veneer for your clear unwillingess to answer a simple question.

                She “couldn’t win” because you stupid fucks refused to vote for her, because apparently you think Donald Trump would be a better president.

                How about you stop pretending like you didn’t play a part in bringing this about by being a short-sighted doofus?

                No one “forced her” on you, she was the Vice President, the person we choose to take over for an incapacitated president.

                I want you to to stop hiding behind generalities like a fucking coward. Spell out right here why you think Trump, after all we’ve seen, is better than Harris.

                You morons made the mistake. You’re phoney as shit, you don’t care about liberal policies, you’re an immature child throwing a temper tantrum.

            Imagine being so daft that you aren’t voting as a civic duty, let alone against fascism.

            By not doing that you ensure that more drastic measures HAVE to be taken later on. Great job non voters.

              You are defending the party that refuses to be popular in a country that chooses leaders based on popular elections. Think about that, while you think about how doing the same thing expecting different results is the definition of stupid, as you prepare to browbeat and yell down everyone for the next aristocratic corporate whore offering nothing but empty platitudes to a population in the face of republicans cheating.

              You people have made our situation hopeless, unwilling to admit a mistake you are dragging us all into the abyss.

                  And I am saying that without getting popular opposition, and at this Point aggressive opposition with organization behind them, a group that knows how to build and run a political machine, then there is zero chance of rescuing the republic. You guys refuse to engage that point and bring it back to if only everybody believed harder and voted. Everybody went way out of their way to get Biden elected in the face of attempts to fix it for republicans, and he did absolutely God damn nothing with it. Then settled us with a doomed to fail candidate, and he was doomed to fail if he stayed in either.
