REDISTRICT EVERYTHING

ESCALATE TO DE-ESCALATE

GERRYMANDER EVERY SINGLE STATE IMMEDIATELY

CREATE A DELICATE BALANCE OF TERROR NOW

RESTORE DETTERENCE

In NC, my fellow Dems liked to tell me "Don't wrestle a pig, you'll both get dirty and he'll enjoy it." I would respond "No, if I'm wrestling with a pig my intention is to kill the fucker."

We are killing this goddamn pig.

Jeffries threatening “maximum warfare” if Florida redistricts

We’ve now reached the part of the referendum where everyone lines up, mutters “goodgamegoodgamegoodgamegoodgame“ a bunch of times with a series of low fives - the winning Yes side slightly more enthusiastic about it- and then they bring out baggies of oranges and Capri Suns for the campaign workers.

The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind

I have opposed gerrymandering every single time it has come up. It’s a perversion of the political process. I voted Yes in this election without hesitation. Unilateral disarmament is unacceptable.

"Hate to be a hypocrite but honestly fuck you"

In no small part due to more than a few other dems saying "I fucking told you. I fucking warned you years ago."

Iran doing a Ddos while I'm trying to shitpost about the Virginia referndum is going to negatively polarize me into.... something. I'll figure out the specifics later.

In almost no county is the 'NO' getting the swing it'd need, even if in most of the completed counties so far it's closer than the AG race.

But the best sign for the 'yes' so far is the result in Loudoun County, which is almost done & the result is a touch bluer than AG race.

Someone in the quoted thread called it "giving up" on the prisoner's dilemma, when in all reality it's just prisoner's dilemma. Gerrymandering is defecting, you must defect if you expect (in this case, know) your partner will, not doing so guarantees you lose.

No we should definitely tilt the playing field against the fascist party. There's a pretty strong case that we should de facto ban the Republican Party.

Bleeding out like a stuck pig.

Christ, stop to consider a moment *why* Carlson is saying this! It's because he considers Trump a traitor to the far-right cause!

I'm thinking closee to 3%. Beyond the initiative being contentious, more than a few folks seem confused.

This is genuinely one of the foundational copes of the modern conservative movement, a stabbed-in-the-back narrative about why the US lost Vietnam

whether the holodomor was a genocide or not is actually something i would describe as "incredibly beside the point"

fascism is basically when you get so obsessed about purity there’s an overflow error and you achieve super rot

okay, so you know how the dude in doctor strangelove went nuts over purity of essence and his bodily fluids and so forth

that’s not a joke, that’s an actual type of guy

Folks

I don't think enough people know how important Sicario has become in the Dumb Violent Guy canon, this is their version of women who wanted to do Eat Pray Love

Barron is far more likely to get excommunicated for this than Vance is for anything he's done so far.

Don't think Pope Bob will pull the trigger though.

I need this place to explain what they think a war conducted in compliance with LOAC looks like because I think we'd get some hilarious answers

Stupid McNamaras. Stupid McNamaras everywhere.

I had not realized that the soldier literally brought a hammer down on the face of Christ. Dear lord.

They're not shooting to make a point though. Disabling the ship is the purpose of the shooting.

This is actually the normal and legal functioning of a blockade. Blockading ships can order ships running the blockade to stop for inspection - a ship that refuses to stop can be fired upon to make it stop.

Ships with contraband or running the blockade can be seized.

On the other hand, it might just get them to start killing people in earnest.
