But anyone dumb enough to try this would start Civil War 2.0.

i lol’ed when i got to this line because you perfectly described the circumstances describing nixon’s resignation (excluding the execution).

make your billions by buying lots of small, but super profitable investments.

what if you’re both?

as a queer brown man; i don’t want to be anywhere at all.

why 1949 and where?

fwiw: gay nightlife in san francisco was at its zenith in the 50’s & 60’s .

the san francisco we have today is a tiny dim more conservative ember of what it was back then.

republican policies create more republicans and now that they’re a majority (per the article) a majority of the next generation will be republican.

she’s WISHES! lol

voting for the lesser evil will only serve to guarantee that you will forever be voting for the lesser evil and that you will reach the same evil that the alternative raced towards, but slower.

this and the fact biden was so un-apologetically banking on homophobic, sexist and classicist issues until well after it became politically convenient to change is exactly why i stopped voting democrat and i love that i’ve been able to convince other who i have a relationship with to stop as well.

thanks for saying

i’ve learned first hand that not even the liberals in austin give a rats ass about voter suppression in texas; so she must be doing this for herself because she’s not going to have an impact in uvalde and much less for the rest of the state.

also: it’s small town texas; i wonder if she actually expects to achieve anything.

it’s everywhere american conservatives have a relationship and right now it’s strongest in africa

I loved that show because I identified w jimmy as someone whose ambitions/aspirations where openly thwarted by those he cared about and was devoted to but kept the open secret from him. I hated chuck because it was clear he was acting on a desire for familial revenge; but then the writers in the last season made it clear that Jimmy is always in the wrong so now I just have ambivalent feelings about a show I loved and then deeply hated in the last 3 episodes

Israeli intelligence knew and did nothing at the behest of their masters

And one of the root causes is propaganda passed off as affordable education to school districts whose budgets are bieng intentionally choked off in favor of for profit education all across this country for the last 5 or so decades

Living in Texas had taught me that, if Texas wants it, it is therefore bad.

The fediverse has so little content that it makes it hard to imagine anyone paying for something that gives you less content and participation than any unregistered lurker gets from something like reddit for free

this is true and it relates to this topic because multiple studies have shown that unions don’t survive if brown people make up too big of a percentage of the workers; so if you’re going to talk to a union and you see more white faces than any other, you now know to whom you’re talking to and can start to understand why trump will always have an audience with union members despite trump himself being anti-union.

We’re not stupid. We’re scared.

too scared. i very recently spent five years in austin and i learned that the 1) liberal texans are only liberal compared to other texans 2) they readily and easily shrug their shoulders in accepting defeat from institutions that they already know are racist, homophobic, sexist, and classicist and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else and 3) will fight and report you to the authorities from those same institutions if you try to do ANYTHING else; my favorite examples are of californians disabling driver-less taxis with traffic cones and new-mexicans pelting short term rentals with eggs and bologna, meanwhile liberal austinites will literally call the cops on you if do either of these (ask me how i know).

the article should be shortened down to this one paragraph to understand why they’re just sitting there and letting it happen; tldr, the black caucus is a center right organization that’s friendly right leaning causes like aipac:

More centrist CBC members and their political allies have been involved in combatting progressive gains in the Democratic Party. In June 2021, Jeffries, along with Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Terri Sewell, D-Ala., another recipient of AIPAC cash, launched Team Blue PAC to protect Democratic members facing primary challenges from their left. And last June, Democratic operatives closely aligned with CBC leaders launched a new dark-money group to fend off primary challengers.
