She thought they would interpret her willingness to execute puppies as a willingness to execute humans they find undesirable.

Yeah! Too bad there is a huge difference between people who want truth and the government to be accountable (you) and people who want the government to be unaccountable but targeting groups they hate (them).
Yeah I think we totally agree there.
Having a president executing all their political opponents is kinda the end of the country, though, right? I don’t know how it can come back from that.
We are pretty fucked either way if SCOTUS claims a president is immune. I’d just like Biden to take them down with the rest of the country if they do so.
I would love to see it.
He won’t, though. Repubs have counted on Dems to abide by the spirit of the rules even while they obstruct and dismantle everything with zero regard for a functioning democracy. The Dems would all be desperately reaching across the aisle for a compromise up until they are executed in the afternoon on January 20th.
The hypothesis behind ranked choice is that enough people would vote for a third sane option that we don’t have only choices between red and blue shitheads.
If you have a lot of people ranking like: Blue -> Red -> Con Man
And “moderates” ranking like: Red -> Con Man -> Blue
Presumably the number of people who prefer basic red over a con man would mean the con man cannot take office. Not even if a large group of Trumpanzees vote: Con Man -> Red -> Blue
Then, given that possibility, the assumption is that we would have viable third party candidates. If people could take third party candidates seriously, they are more likely to be incentivized to vote when they hate the favored top two.
IDK about the presidency because of EC bullshit, but I am pretty certain it would work like that for state and local elections.
You have zero conception of how ranked choice voting works.
The only story there is they got so far in before any of them were shot. She was crawling through the final barrier between the mob of insurrectionists and members of Congress and still given plenty of opportunity to cut that out.
Insurrectionists were basically allowed to run free smearing feces on the walls until there was no other option to prevent them from murdering representatives. If all cops would show that much restraint that would be rad as fuck. I guess not every protest has their off-duty buddies in the crowd, though.
I think they are very much capitalist. And then surely the Civil War that poors fought on plantation owners’ behalf should also be blamed on capitalism?
That’s different, because of reasons. When someone dies within a communist system that is communism’s fault. When someone dies in a capitalist system, that’s their own fault for not tugging on those bootstraps.
Somehow I assume you don’t associate capitalism with chattel slavery and apartheid. But you do associate corrupt authoritarianism with economics when it is system that you don’t like.
I agree. A viable long-term economy needs an organized working class that isn’t sleepwalking through life. Would be cool to make the economic system not inherently hierarchical also.
Big mood. It is fucking exhausting explaining basic tech concepts to stakeholders over and over.
Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.
Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.
I mean, this is a win-win. Unfortunately the people who have purchased our politicians probably won’t see it that way.
Donald and his Trumpanzee cult are the giant domino, it is crushing us alongside the conservatives who pushed the smallest one.
I saw them give trillions of free dollars to companies that had just received three years of extremely vigorous tax cuts.
I like how you realized you had to hedge at the end to not look like a ridiculous hypocrite. “What I’m doing here is totally different because my audience is smaller.” You can just delete the comment if you find yourself backed into a corner like that. It’s sunk cost fallacy to go ahead with posting it.
Perhaps it was the English teachers who were wrong.
Correct or not, people have been using it like that for a while.
It’s wild how the right to form a well-regulated militia includes leaving semiautomatic handguns where children can get them, but what can you do?
