Got it, so should we vote for Republicans or just not vote?

nonsensei (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 5 January 2022 22:38 (two years ago) link

that's the point.
that's why there has to be a revolution.
but it can't, because of what's happening.
so, we just have to keep watching out for that

I don't know, vote for whomever you want to, doesn't seem to matter much in the end.

today I learned a city testing site that I found by Googling charged me $1,068.89 for a test I didn't even end up getting 🙃 https://t.co/kgVSTS1bUZ

right.

so what are the steps after that? it's that there has to be a big fundamental change, many are saying. some presidential candidates would refer to it every single day as "a revolution". but why doesn't that revolution happen. welp, yes, alas. we'll just have to keep an eye on all that

Steps after voting for whomever you want to vote for? I dunno, they usually hand me a sticker on the way out. I like to put it on my hat for the rest of the day.

Do any of you know what primaries are ? We need more people to primary out centrist assholes, and more people to run in those primaries.

i do not know what primaries are

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 23:15 (two years ago) link

but i know they're one of the first things in a process, probably one of the most...essential parts of it

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 23:15 (two years ago) link

for me it's always been about the secondary and tertiaries, though. i'm talking brown & crouppen

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 23:16 (two years ago) link

i enjoy primaries most when too many people are trying to primary the centrist and they each get a little bit of the vote, as a treat

With the right primary wins, 125 members of the House Progressive Caucus could have folded on Build Back Better instead of 85.

So let’s get on that revolution thing. Most Americans agree with us on that, right?

(444 of these deaths were from COVID.)

May 23, 2022:

Two months after dropping the mask mandate, my city is at 377 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents in the past 7 days. This is the second-highest peak of the pandemic to date (testing is now largely self-reported, so raw numbers are certainly far higher than recorded, but will still be below January 2022.)

May 24, 2022:

A mass-murderer entered a Texas high school and killed at least 19 children and two adults. Some of the dead children were so badly shot that parents had to be DNA swabbed to compare to corpses, in order to identify them. Current police funding is at a level (40% of the total city budget) that the school district has a distinct force. Multiple members of this school district police force fired on the murderer outside the school, but failed to stop him entering the premises.

This National Police Week marked the second anniversary of the protracted murder of George Floyd by a group of police officers. When hundreds of thousands of citizens protested this brutality, Joe Biden repeatedly called for the protestors to be shot and for police funding to be increased.

source? are you talking about the "aim for the leg and not the heart" thing?

cant believe it all started with that kamala tweet. a true butterfly effect.

I do consider my legs to be part of me, yes.

sorry, not gonna buy any theory that posits Kamala affecting something

rob, Wednesday, 25 May 2022 19:04 (two years ago) link

sic, I believe Biden was advocating shooting unarmed "suspects" in the leg not protesters, but the rest of your points are solid

rob, Wednesday, 25 May 2022 19:09 (two years ago) link

He talked about "an unarmed person coming at 'em," during the protests that were themselves being met with brutality in response. It's possible he meant "people suspected of using a counterfeit $20 bill a month ago," and not "unarmed people marching toward police in the context of current daily events," but I'm going to assign infelicity in wording to the speaker rather than the listener, if so.

Yul Brynner film festival on Channel 48... (sic), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 19:28 (two years ago) link

what he said was pretty ignorant, but it's clear his point was that police officers shouldn't shoot to kill, and you're deliberately misrepresenting that to fit your narrative

aegis philbin (crüt), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 19:38 (two years ago) link

that is to say, he absolutely did not repeatedly called for protestors to be shot

tbc I agree that Biden sucks ass

rob, Wednesday, 25 May 2022 19:45 (two years ago) link

There’s no such thing as ‘shooting to wound,’ I would expect someone responsible for writing crime and policing legislation to understand that.

papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 19:47 (two years ago) link

sorry, it’s just like, we don’t need to defend the guy or parse what he was saying.

what he said was bullshit and cruel, because he’s a racist fucking moron who loves power. end of story.

we need outrage! we need dicks!! (the table is the table), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 19:47 (two years ago) link

deliberately misrepresenting that

I promise you, as someone who was being teargassed every third night that month, I sincerely took his rhetoric at face value.

Yul Brynner film festival on Channel 48... (sic), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 20:12 (two years ago) link

And tbf I would still consider it a wild escalation with deleterious public safety consequences, whether he meant "shoot unarmed protestors," or "shoot an unarmed man who may or may not have been in possession of a counterfeit $20 note," but I'll happily replace the former inference with the latter if he clarifies.

Yul Brynner film festival on Channel 48... (sic), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 20:19 (two years ago) link

personally this thread has convinced me that bidens brief remarks 2 years ago in support of using the justice departments civil rights division to reform police training were actually meant to advocate for mowing down protesters, and that he did it repeatedly instead of at that one event, after all he wrote the crime bill

nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 20:46 (two years ago) link

reform police training

Do you think shooting people in the leg is the kind of police training we need?

papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 20:48 (two years ago) link

(looking at the transcript of the town hall where he advocated for shooting people in the legs, there's exactly zero mentions of "the civil rights division")

papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 20:50 (two years ago) link

The willingness of people to cape for this senescent fossil after 17 months of complete ineptitude remains astounding.

I dunno, given that we’re experiencing a series of cascading social collapses, I think people doubling down on system justification expression is going to increase.

A lot more folks will be compelled to go full-Thomas Friedman in all avenues of communication just to stave off horror.

The White House refused to call for an investigation into the police response to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, saying President Joe Biden
"has the utmost respect for the men and women of law enforcement."

COPS: we engaged outside and he was wearing armor. actually we didn't and he wasnt but the resource officer followed him inside and then we contained him. uh there was no RO actually and we were standing outside for an hour tasing parents,

Joe Biden was not currently the President of the United States of America, but he would have liked to be:

Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, and we must fight any and all attempts to overturn it. As president, I will codify Roe into law and ensure this choice remains between a woman and her doctor. https://t.co/kaJbYWcYhL

Joe Biden is currently President of the United States of America, and thinks another term sounds nice, for him:

I’ve warned about how overturning Roe risks a broader right to privacy for everyone.

The right to make the best decisions for your health.
The right to marry the person you love.

With your vote, you can act. You can have the final word. This is not over.
