Technically, Chuck voted to keep the government shut down. According to some people other than Chuck he was in constant contact with the group who crossed the aisle for nothing in return, but he didn’t vote with them.

Does having a specific “zoological garden” with a fenced off African Huts area count?

A few years ago the USA banned buying a cargo space for use as a ferry, that would have been super cheap and made moving my electronics and tools a lot easier.

They will jump and fall, I wouldn’t keep them on a bed higher than 18 inches.

I’m kind of glad I didn’t plan that trip to Germany, now. Been considering relocating permanently, but I need to go and look around first. Cheapest flights are around late Oct to November.

I’m a consequentialist, their reasons for supporting progress are meaningless in the face of progress.

They would not all be up in arms, just a couple of individuals. Whoever wins the primary is the DNC and whoever loses is not, until the DNC in practice no longer exists.

I literally cannot think of a single way that it is better.

Its an ethnostate committing genocides in its own soil, a religious theocracy that destroys ancient temples, an aggressive expansionist military state with constant highly funded and organized propoganda, it bullies and destroys ships fo being close to their favorite spots in the wide ocean, and a single party with president for life dictatorship. They’ve got a massive and increasing homeless population because the government gets to decide where they “live”. They do pretty good on pollutions per capita but now they’re trying to grow their capita again. The use financial coercion and manipulate markets at every opportunity even going so far as to mass produce products at a loss in order to push others out of markets. The fund fucking Iran and the Taliban to wage proxy war, and are as active in South America as the CIA ever was.

And thats only the recent shit they’ve done, the same party has been in power since Mao fucking Zedong was starving tens of millions of people for literally no reason.

And, you can even blame the current turn for the worst that the USA is going through on them because they explicitly endorsed Trump and spread promotion of him through TikTok in a bid to save their psyop from being banned.

It’s not just possible but inevitable, and the more oppressive they are the sooner it will come.

I am sure people used to think the USSR would last forever, too. After all, how could people rise up when every free thinker was being worked to death in a Gulag?

Just missing the green food coloring and it’s Andre3000’s order

You’re not going to beat the Chinese government by being worse than them. You beat them by helping the Chinese figure out the Chinese Government is bad. By being worse than them you just set yourself up to be destroyed the same way they will be.

“They” this “they” that, is this also the faceless them who own the banks lol? The vast majority, everyone minus a rounding error, endorsed Mamdani and were excited by his victory in the DNC. We’re lucky to have him, like a second Bernie Sanders but not even Bernie runs on the DNC ticket outside of presidential primaries we invite him to participate in.

Look, if you stand before a hundred people in a room and two of them disavow you and then people started publishing stories that the entire room was against you: do you think that would be a fair portrayal? Or do you think it’s just people trying to divide the room into camps?

“Data that does’t fit your obviously bullshit narrative” being the number of days it took a single DNC politician to endorse Zohran Mamdani? Man, what a hill to die on.

Fuck if I know, or care, feel free to go count the days.

We here on the left don’t worship our politicians so it may surprise you to learn we’re not heartbroken about Jeffries or Schumer saying some shit we didn’t like.

It being a real football player probably made a lot of people’s day.

It was so good he got hired to do a Paramount commercial about it and according to an interview people on the street would yell out “AY AY RON” when they see him.

It’s technically not a coup since the US Citizens voted them into power in order to do this.

Ducks are used to it, female ducks developed curled vaginal canals to deter forceful reproduction but male ducks simply evolved corkscrewed dicks so now ducks never reproduce without inflicting great agony.

I doubt the fascist pin pricks can hurt them.
