In anticipation of me being asked who I voted for after Election Day, I plan on writing in as candidate “Your Mom”.

I suggest you all get serious and do the same.

some Israel leader said after October 7th that 100 Palestinians would die for every Israeli and I thought, “okay so 200,000 people are gonna die before Israel ends this conflict “

I think I was to hopeful

Funniest outcome is a 269-269 electoral tie where the house and senate can’t get majorities and we end up with some form of compromised unity ticket between the ruling class. After both parties telling their bases the other party is trying to kill them, and everyone yelling at me how we need to vote for one of the 2 octogenarians to save the country

After 16 years of battling right wing populism the coastal elites thought a unity ticket would save their status. They put John Tyler on The William Henry Harrison ticket and were rewarded with the annexation of pro slavery Texas and giving the slave states the final upper hand until the civil war.

After 4 years of Civil war the northern elites felt a unity ticket would save the Union war efforts. They put Andrew Johnson on the ticket, who quickly re established the planter hierarchy in the south.

I’d argue Truman was a unity ticket, and I’d argue the Cold War was bad for America, but I don’t think a moderate democrat would agree.

regardless, these centrist types constantly amaze me in their unyielding love for a country they know nothing about.

I’ve genuinely seen 0 improvement in video games from the PS3 to the PS5. Just a waste of 2 generations of systems because you dumb ass gamers eat this shit up.

All they did was made you pay for online services to play digital downloads and the gamers licked the bathroom floor with glee.

They aren’t even making sequels, it’s just the game I played on PS3 with better graphics.

I wonder if Will and Felix are ever jealous that the CIA didn’t give them the Havana Syndrome also?

Why the heck did you colonize the globe and bring in labor and workers from foreign countries for 500 straight years than?!?

This song came out the year Reagan was elected. It marks the year everything got irreversibly shitty in the US.

The left in the US took major losses in the postwar period, but this man’s election ended any chance of a peaceful end to the Cold War or peace after the Cold War.

 

How the hell do you all effort post? I never go on internet on a computer/laptop. Are you guys the same? I don’t understand how someone could effort post with thumbs.

 

As long as the west funds Israeli military, or offers aid in every protracted conflict in Israel, the most belligerent aspects of Israeli society will prevail. Much like Apartheid South Africa, the house of cards will topple the moment the west removes the 💰 from the equation.

I know we are naturally oriented to care about internationalism, but we need to think of ways to shut off the money in a politically intelligent way. Unfortunately the westoids do not care about Palestinians, so this needs to be about spending the money at home. We can’t argue for them to stop killing Palestinians, but we could probably argue for them to spend the money on something else at home.

This would obviously take decades or longer, but just like climate change or veganism, I feel leftists are too involved in the actually compassionate arguments that move themselves, rather than the selfish arguments that motivate most westoids.
