And yet…

Our system was designed to not be fixable.

Ok probably not sincere.

The contentiousness is what put killing the filibuster on the table. In less contentious times, we didn’t need to destroy basic political norms just to save people’s lives.

It takes basically no effort to vote. Things are clearly better with Harris winning than Trump.

Win the WH, win both houses of Congress, blow up the filibuster and enact national protections for abortion.

Will it work? Probably not. It definitely won’t happen if Trump wins, though.

Plus if Trump wins, Alito and Thomas retire and get replaced by 25 year old fascists and things get even worse for decades.

I dunno if you were being sincere or intentionally obtuse, but it’s kind of straightforward that we have to win.

I think probably MAGA falls apart as no one can galvanize these people like he does. What do you think will happen?

Sure, but I wouldn’t have my kid work on a farm or in a quarry. Ideally you get an internship in college or something. Maybe bag groceries.

Difficult manual labor isn’t an entry point into any fulfilling career I can think of, but different strokes.

On 1/6 I kept thinking that there was finally a good reason for the police to open fire on people and they didn’t fucking do it. I guess they weren’t innocent or black enough.

Does Biden have the stones to go through with that? My worry is he won’t.

In my dreams, they try that shit and the US military gets to take them all out in one fell swoop. I know that’s not how it’ll play out, but I can dream.

When is she gonna be invited to headline a Trump rally?

Yeah, but it’s still difficult manual labor. Not work I’d want for myself or my hypothetical children.

If you want an economy where every citizen has a chance to be middle class, you have to find some other source of labor to do working class jobs. That’s why we shouldn’t even want American citizens to do these jobs. Bring in immigrants that get paid well relative to where they came from to do that stuff and send our citizens to school and do middle class work. It’s a win-win for all involved.

That’s not even mentioning our problem with an aging population that requires immigration to sustain social programs.

The work they do fucking sucks regardless of the pay.

They would argue that the “baby” is innocent.

It would seem to be a nonlinear relationship with many other variables to me.

I don’t really understand it. I guess it’s because a close race drives turnout and they think their supporters need more encouragement than ours do?

Meeting online seems like the best way to me. Better to date people you have stuff in common with rather than just picking your partners through circumstance.

Seems way overblown to me. What a nothing story.

Yeah our only hope is the people who pay so little attention to politics that they are leaning Trump will put that level of effort into voting and not do it.
