Does this work the other way around? Hey, you stupid fucking child, grow up and run a candidate we like, like a responsible party! Give us the thing we want even though you don't want to!

Is it working?

literally every problem in the world rn the people trying to solve it are like “we could spend years working towards a very difficult to achieve goal or we can invent racism 2”…

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

When the basis of the entire US economy is predicated on not prosecuting elite white collar crime & elevating those at the the top of the worst, but legitimized white collar scams to positions of unlimited wealth & power, all that’s left is for everyone else to try to do their own scams.

I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy:

There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

All it took to make you fall in line as a bloodthirsty Trump supporter was them blowing up a school huh

nice try, that's a Spirit Halloween Walton Goggins mask

This is the Pump and Dump Presidency. I'm skeptical that this conflict actually drags out for very long because all they know how to do is smash and grab

It's actually extremely liberal to think that every organization is doomed to fail and die out of a refusal to change. I also happen to consider it the mark of an incurious mind to call anyone who disagrees with your perspective an "idiot" and "child."

I think liberals are just more comfortable doing something familiar that's likely to lose rather than doing something different with less predictable results. Biden was unpopular and senile but the party never entertained any options besides mashing the "everything is fine actually" button

Why?

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

There is no one button, there are dozens of buttons for things like holding a primary, offering various publicly supported policies, not supporting a genocide. Your guys used none of them

So is he ignorant, mistaken, or a hypocrite? Are there any honest, sincere journalists—and other news workers—who are able and willing to distinguish themselves from the prevaricating hypocrites, who have consolidated a thin blue byline to protect fascist collaborators and narcissistic opportunists?
