Pretty standard humanist position, one that’s I’ve always held as the truth. All the other stuff is noise, we inherently want to connect and do things that make us and others feel better.

There’s no logic to replying to me 3 times.

Thank god. Anyone can do whatever, but if they’re part of the fascist oppression of queerness, they should be ridiculed for their hypocrisy.

No Bosses either, fuck it

Winning elections is the most effective tool we have. Doomed impeachment attempts don’t do anything. Even impeaching if we win a ton of seats in congress, it’s unlikely we could get 2/3rds vote in the senate. Even then, it’s President Vance and nothing actually changes.

The dogpile culture can be pretty toxic though. If someone says something and is corrected and they’re willing to adjust their behavior, that should be a good thing. But to continue on and say wild shit that’s only acceptable online behind an avatar is not great for our society imo.

Good Q. I don’t know exactly where the distinction lies, but if someone who is able & capable & is breaking a norm like littering or playing a loud video on the train, it’s acceptable to send them social cue. But if it’s something they can’t change, like BO when they have no resources, it’s bullying

Specific bill*

All this cope and this specific would make his WA state earnings go from 168M to 160M. 😱

We stopped him in 2020 and then decided to try being civil and not to upset the republicans, then too many dems gotten complacent and apathetic about the election.

General consensus on Jon Ossoff as a party leader?

I doubt*

I bet even Massie would join dems to bring it to the floor. They want their own “win” and would die before appearing to help Dems.

Imagine they JUST did it today, it was tabled and nobody had a chance to make any statements about it, all republicans voted to table it and a few outlier dems did too. Would you feel better now? We could attack the Dems who voted to table it, would that make us better prepared for the midterms?

He doesn’t like Biden, he called Obama a monkey, and George bush I don’t think would say this. Maybe Bill just to get Trump off the phone…”yeah yeah man, good luck, we all wish we did that, ok gotta run ttyl”

I missed the first round of responses, but if someone is in a mental health crisis there are non-authority resources available. I’ve always offered water/food or asked if they are in pain & if OTC meds would help. That said, I’m curious how many folks would get out of bed at night to check.

It’s skinny and spiky, like a punk elk

Lmao. It’s one of the sappiest “but muh Portlandia 😢” props that gets used over and over.

But…is it bad that I think it looks fucking rad?

It will be revenge but it’s not even about revenge. It’s about teaching them a fucking lesson, and they need to bear the equivalent brunt of what they did to us, it’s the only way they will understand they fucked up. We let the confederates & Nazis off easy and we’re still paying for it.

BlueSky users on the app vs irl:

Ok but, 10/11ths News? .90909 News? 1,011 News?

So the president who starts wars without congressional oversight also doesn’t have oversight over a rogue drunk Fox host who’s sinking disarmed naval ships? Got it. Perfect system.

So he’s not directing anything? Got it.

His best angle, most representative.

Probably why he tries to take all his official pictures with that downward facing scowl pose.

Lmao true

This isn’t true btw. I will discuss anything in good faith, but get your facts straight at least.

I didn’t personally give power to Nazis. I voted and have been in the streets protesting several times. Pretty sure I’m not the one who sounds like an insane lunatic in this conversation. I’m just as frustrated about our situation but you’re yelling at the wrong people.

Yeah that’s how elections work. We could have tried starting civil war 2.0 I guess. Thats why it was so important before the election that everyone was on the same page to not let fascists win the election. Pls stop screaming at me, I’m just trying to have a normal conversation about it.

Do you think they can just delete the other party from the system? I’m confused, I’m not defending R’s. I agree dems “played by the rules” too much (they don’t matter anymore) when they should have been more aggressive. The DOJ investigated and a shit ton of people were indicted, but then Trump won

The indictments and arrests were well on their way for the coup, should have been a lot faster and they waffled when he announced he was running, but if he lost they would all be fucked. Dems can’t force republicans not to vote.
