Oh no, the thing that is already happening could happen if we don't settle down.

Printing in an office leaves a trace, two white bookmark-size sticky notes and red marker is pretty untraceable. And I imagine that red white and blue sticky notes are not hard to find at the Capitol. Look closer at the picture.

I think the investigation is to whether the swastika was vandalism, not the entire flag.

Let's hope not, but civil servants should not plan on getting another paycheck.

Unless they're also gay

We are seething over the very real possibility that we will not have another free election, because of shitstains that think, by not participating in the political process in the smallest fucking way they possibly could, they are going to get politicians to listen to their social media diatribes somehow. It makes zero fucking sense.

Politicians take positions based on the demographics of their voters. It's always been this way. They look at exit polls, see that 10% of their voters are zoomers and promptly ignore that entire demographic's demands.

Yes, but then it was out of his hands.

There is no evidence of Biden directing prosecutions, and not from a lack of trying. The media and the Republican led congress looked as hard as they possibly could, but the only evidence shows the exact opposite: Biden was privately pissed off at Garland for prosecuting his son and going easy on Trump. They were not working together.

Trump is using the justice department the same way Nixon did, which, at the time, was appalling even to Republicans. We don't want all of our future presidents to be Nixons.

Compared to rent, maintenance is basically free, typically about 1-2%. If we think that cost would double, for some reason, by adding another person, it still wouldn't be that much. But it's ridiculous to think that would even be the case, given that a sizeable portion of maintenance is not related to tenants at all.

Extremism for migration and race probably hinges on whether you believe in due process

Why the fuck did you expect me to defend capitalism? I answered the best I can.

I'll take that's a slip of the tongue and I'll answer the question whether democracy leads to fascism, given that I've clearly stated I'm a socialist.

I think it's kinda bullshit to say that democracy hasn't done amazing things for the human condition. In any given region, democracy will come and go, nothing lasts forever. But where and when it exists, science, human rights, new ideas, and new culture, will always follow. The fact that things might get worse if we give people agency, as in, they might choose 'wrongly' and give up their democracy, that is not a reason to stop trying, or to try to take that agency away from everyone, yourself included.
