I remember all the people saying the situation in Israel couldn't get any worse than it was in 2024.

Well then...

Cool story none of the Anti-War people give a shit because it can't be blamed on a Democrat

as Trump reportedly considers sending ground troops in to open the straight of hormuz, it's worth remembering how much extra, unnecessary danger it puts US troops in to preemptively declare "we will murder soldiers who surrender to us" (which is what "no quarter" means)

Tim Walz offering a positive vision of traditional masculinity and being loathed for it was low key one of the most blackpillling events of the past decade plus.

The β€œ100 companies” thing was OG slopulism and I really think it derailed a lot of climate activism.

this of all things gets limited for violent speech. What a joke, elon gets to try and incite race riots in europe whenever but say the societies should stop the theocrat corruptucio pact and its too violent. They probably have a filter thats turned off for elon and approved chuds/retvrn types

"Joe Biden pulled off perhaps the greatest oil trade of all time and in the process broke OPEC's grip and basically no one knows about it."

Yup. Joe Biden was an amazing President who made this country stronger and its people more secure. And he gets ZERO credit for it. It's infuriating.

broke: WWIII
woke: Iran Iraq II

I mean, Trump is kinda like Saddam, right?

People really need to love their neighbors and communities more than they hate democrats. Until they do its gonna be the same shit.

if any of you are wondering about israel, it doesn't have a state religion. The constitution just says it's a jewish state and whether that's an ethnic or religious designation is left ambiguous

I start thinking again about a Gulf war/crisis, and our president goes ahead and kicks off an actual Gulf War/Crisis

Musk is just one example. A huge chunk of Silicon Valley bowed down to Trump, ranging between the begrudging, the opportunistic, and the enthusiastic. Professor Francesca Bria has referred to the emerging: β€œAuthoritarian Stackβ€œβ€” β€œa network of firms, funds, and political actors turning core state functions into private platforms.” She points out that the key actors in the Silicon Valley right β€” including Anduril, Palantir and venture capital funders like AndreessenHorowitz β€” are closely connected and working with one another. They also, crucially, share an ideology that places them as empire-makers able to compete with sovereign states.

Another example: Larry Ellison joined phone calls about overturning the 2020 election, and Trump has enabled him and his son to expand their media empire via TikTok, Paramount (including CBS News) and now Warner (including CNN). Also: HBO, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, TNT.

Larry Ellison is another example of the authoritarian stack in government. Oracle is a long-time government contractor, unlike some newer members of the stack, and Ellison is now using his fortune to build a media empire that will be critical of Dems. Why keep paying him?

I’m Sure Glad I Bought an EV and Solar Panels - The American Prospect Trump’s idiotic war of aggression on Iran is spiking oil prices. That's not a concern if you have an electric car.

It's surprising how robust Orange Man Bad is as a general philosophy. I've spent literally a fourth of my life (JFC) following it and it hasn't really led me wrong.

when people say "there's no crime in Dubai" they are trying to say something very different

My deeply unpopular opinion is that Harris/Dems overperformed all the other β€œincumbents” & her campaign was just fine & mattered ~not one bit. It was β€œinflation” & racism/misogyny & misinformation that had absolutely nothing to do with her policies on Gaza or anything else.

I don’t care how many times you post a video of Benjamin Netanyahu doing an evil laugh and saying it’s proof that he’s some sort of evil marionette-puppeting mastermind, the truth is that the U.S has the agency to actually *not* engage in a conflict aside from missile defense of its own sites!

theyre setting themselves up for disappointment when a good amount of destruction will have been undertaken and jesus of Nazareth doesnt actually come down from heaven.

I allign to being a disillusioned narc who has accepted the sad-sad truth that druggeeism cannot be cured with Imprisonment, hard labor, and or an ironfisted legal response. You start imprisoning mom & pop drug operations you breed them into nastier organizations that select for violence.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.
