You can’t picture yourself doing anything

You haven’t done anything

So you assume everyone else is the same as you, it’s the same low empathy that we used to only see from Republicans.

I get people that won’t put any effort in…

But why are you spending your free time online lying about politics and what actions others are taking?

Or if you’re going to claim ignorance, why not spend your free time learning about what’s happening instead of making random uninformed guesses on social media and trying to sound confident?

Like, why are you doing any of what you’re doing right now?

Is this one of those “discussion is important” devils advocate things where you just say random shit to drive engagement? You know that’s just trolling, right?

She reached out to them first before running, and pretty sure this is Abughazaleh’s race too.

They’re gonna pull some crazy shit this race, which is why like 20 candidates are running and AIPAC isn’t officially endorsing any.

Something people would actually use is a message board.

One of the simple cut and paste forums and pay the $10/month to get it hosted.

Just have people text you to approve registration, something you can verify people are really in the neighborhood

People aren’t going to want to download a bunch of stuff they don’t know about to hang out with the HOA for game nights…

The main problem with HOAs is lonely bored people who want something to do.

Most people would rather pretend the HOA doesn’t exist until it’s needed for an actual issue.

because it’d become apparent, without a doubt, that those in power cannot be imprisoned.

They absolutely can…

The people who won’t do their jobs, are not doing their jobs because of a personal risk assessment. Maybe they’d go down too, maybe they wouldn’t get a bribe that substantially increases their quality of life.

But every person enabling this shit, is doing it because it’s “safer” for them.

We change what they decide to do by making it “safer” for them to do the right thing. Either passively by keeping them safe and secure after doing the right thing. Or giving them a credible fear of what happens if no one gets held accountable.

The French royal guard was full of people willing to die for the royal family, right up until members of the French royal guard were killed for getting between a guillotine and a royal.

Because their risk/reward math changed.

It’s not even human nature, single cell organisms are doing it constantly. It’s the most basic question for biological life, and why intelligence even evolved: “Is this reward worth the risk?”

Besides…

Society would collapse

The instant a “society” collapses, a new society is there. It’s like “weather” we can say the weather changes, but it never goes away. What cames after might be better or worse, but there’s never just nothing.

Did you say F or S?

Reminds me of China IL when Pony gets stuck in Mexico, crazy the voice actress went on to make the Barbie movie

because they lacked a warrant when they searched his backpack after Mangione was apprehended in a Pennsylvania McDonald’s

The cops figuratively shoot themselves in the foot, because they’re so used to plea deals they forgot how a lawful investigation is supposed to work.

They claimed there was danger and that’s why they apprehended him and separated him from his bag without Miranda. But forgot that once that happened, they were no longer legally allowed to search the bag without a warrant because there was no imment threat.

Then even after searching the bag, they found nothing.

Until after the bag was at the station and searched again.

The single cop who drove the bag to the station was photographed leaving with no gloves on, testified there was no reason she’d have put gloves on while driving, but was photographed with gloves on while turning the bag in.

It’s going to be insane if anything from the bag is admitted, and since it’s “public knowledge” what was in the bag it’s influenced every potential juror and may be grounds for a mistrial already.

I feel like they’re dragging it out because they know it’s gonna be bad, but that’s not going to help anything, people aren’t just going to stop caring about this.

I always thought because the target demo was kids…

You’re biggest villain/rival is still a kid in your class that goes to the same gym class as you.

You can ask Putin anything, it’s just most answers are “you go to gulag”

We can’t have elections in the middle of a ballroom renovation!!

Oh, they know…

They want to trick people into dissolving the SC before the left gains control and can replace the problematic ones while taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

It’s like a kid that walks up and slaps a peer, then immediately says “no tag backs” and says the game is over…

The federalist society got what it wants out of the SC, and now they want people to stop abusing it before we can undo what they just did.

I don’t know why googling authors isn’t the norm when billionaires own all the media companies. If you don’t you’ll never notice clear hypocrites like Ryan Doerfler.

One author is in the federalist society (the reason SC is corrupt)…

And the other seems to believe international laws shouldn’t exist and Israel is totally cool…

They want us to “accept” it’s corrupt and somehow do away with the entire notion of a SC and replace it with some “populist rule”.

Similarly, progressives are increasingly converging on the idea of both expanding and “disempowering” federal courts. Attentive to the reality that the supreme court especially is not and rarely has been their friend, left-leaning advocates are finding ways to empower ordinary people, trading the hollow hope of judicial power for the promise of popular rule.

To label as “nihilists” those sketching an alternate, more democratic future is, in other words, not only mistaken but outright bizarre. Rather than adhere to the same institutionalist strategies that helped our current crisis, reformers must insist on remaking institutions like the US supreme court so that Americans don’t have to suffer future decades of oligarchy-facilitating rule that makes a parody of the democracy they were promised.

In Trump’s second term, the Republican-appointed majority on the supreme court has brought their institution to the brink of illegitimacy. Far from pulling it back from the edge, our goal has to be to push it off.

They’re right wingers trying to hijack progressivism to destroy the SC after it changes all the laws to how they want, and before the left can use it as a weapon to change the laws back.

I’d love to say people won’t be naive enough to fall for this, but I don’t want to lie

So he did it…

But he didn’t…

Did you know someone made a song about this exact thing?

Grandson: we did it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNOGN9jXGYA

Quick edit:

The song was released when Biden took office, and was about how if everyone just stopped pushing then, Biden wouldn’t actually do anything and we’d be right back where we started.

Literally what happened.

You are expressing the opinions that it was “good enough” and we couldn’t have pushed for more, and it led to what the song predicted.

It’s just wild the song was early and correct, and you’re after the fact but still wrong.

What reality are you living in?

A new Medicare pilot program would allow older adults to access legal hemp-derived CBD at no cost, if recommended by a doctor, said Dr. Mehmet Oz, who heads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Buying off all those dirty hippy boomers with free weed…

/S

Just kidding, the hippies movement was a tiny fraction of a percent of that generation. More of them where spitting on black kids for going to school than dropping acid at Woodstock

one of these two people fighting tooth and nail to provide loan relief for students,

I could see the argument that Biden was so inept that really was him trying that hard… I doubt that’s what you meant tho.

But to lots of people he said he’d “look into it” and then just never did it.

Meanwhile trump just fucking does shit and hope it sticks.

Which method brings about more change?

Did Biden’s plan to play by a stricter rule set than he was required to, result in trump not just doing whatever the fuck he wants? Or did that happen anyways and Biden should have done all he can as fast as he could have?

But sure, they are all the same

A peaceful death in your sleep and being torn apart by rabid chipmunks are still both death. When the other option is the horrible death, there is absolutely zero reason to pick “peaceful death” as the only other option we give voters.

Is it still the best bet?

Absolutely, but we need to convince the common American, so why don’t we make the choice for them as easy as possible?

That’s the thing, Hillary, Biden, and Kamala were shitty candidates shoved down our throats by billionaires, we don’t have to keep doing that, and we aren’t doing it anymore. We have a non iased DNC chair now, the war over the party is over, neoliberals lost.

It’s crazy people still like Biden and claim that they can’t understand why maga likes trump…

Neither of them give or ever gave a fuck about their voters.

They’re close enough the systems will always work, what’s unlikely but possible is defederation.

And their comment says .we not .ml, it’s possible they made a quick edit.

But that’s the mod who moved all the communities in the first place.

It will be kind of funny when there’s not “enough” white athletes, so they either do DEI to lighten the shade or make it weird games like pickleball, hockey, and speed walking to do it indirectly.
