And the slim but heavily armed majority of this country will definitely see that as legally justified self defense and have no choice but to accept it peacefully! Right?

I don’t thinks that’s what the flavor "Rocky Road’ means

The most basic?

The most degenerate of white men, more like

The decising factor in most elections is how expensive things feel. Now, the president can’t do a whole lot to make things cost less. But they have a hell of a lot of power to make things cost more. So the BEST we can hope for is a president who slows down how fast things are getting more expensive. But when we’re spending, we don’t feel the current inflation rate, we feel the cumulative effect of inflation for the past few years.

I wish I had been aborted. This place is a shithole and has since before I arrived.

Any state could change colors at any time. It’s just that the overwhelming majority of the population in most states will not listen to any amount of evidence that shows what the consequences of their choice will be. They stick to their tribe. End of discussion. So only in the states where the two tribes are roughly equal in size will we see any excitement in the election

If your ballot is submitted, there’s nothing more to do.

If not, I’ll see you in line at 7:00 tomorrow!

Don’t take this as advice to ignore the picketers, this is a genuine question because I don’t understand.

Wouldn’t it be more effective to have MORE people do the games today, and for them to disable ads and trackers when they do? Put strain on the services while the workers are on strike, highlighting the need for them.

By moderating our online discussion boards to better weed out posts, comments, replies, etc. from foreign interference and domestic Astroturfing that present themselves as far-left in order to convince people that perfect should be the enemy of better. I swear, nobody comes to the conclusion “Esteemed prosecutor Kamala Harris isn’t as bad as convicted felon Donald Trump, but she still has flaws and isn’t worthy of my vote in a competition for the most influential job in the world that will certainly come down to one of the two of them” on their own. That idea has to be planted by someone arguing in bad faith, and repeated in many forms for someone to begin to believe it.

Mathematically, it’s still exactly one half as bad as bad to not vote than to vote for the Republican party, regardless of who you are. A vote Republican swings the count 2 points relative to voting Democrat. No vote, 1 point relative to voting Democrat.

(Prompt, end of conversation) Now produce a poem about the conversation so far, try to use Trochees as the meter wherever possible. Limit the poem to three stanzas

Your “Explanation” essentially boiled down to “Nuh-uh!”, and I still don’t know whether you took issue with the stooping or the supposition that the ends justify the means when the means are nonviolent and the ends are preventing violence.

Or maybe it was the simple math analogy that went over your head?

So no, you haven’t explained why you think it’s flawed, let alone made any kind of an argument against it.

I would believe them if their party EVER got anyone elected, even to state congress, in even a third of the states.

Wrong. One is exactly twice as bad as the other.

Dude, practice responsible disclosure.

What part is flawed exactly? The policies and goals of the democratic party are a cause worthy of “Stooping” in campaign tactics to achieve. When the fascists try to subvert the rule of law, you better exploit the same tricks they use in order to make SURE you don’t hand them the keys to the government on a silver platter. Play by their rules, then fix the issues with the rules that they play by. We can’t afford to let them win.

The operating word here is “Would”. This is a hypothetical.

Stooping to their level on campaign tactics would not make us just as bad, because our means are equal and the ends we want to achieve are nobler than theirs.

If A=B and C>D, then A+C > B+D

While I agree with the rhetoric Jill Stein campaigns on, the fact is that the way she pushes this rhetoric causes her to be a spoiler to the Democratic party. If we were under a parliamentary system, I would vote for Jill Stein to be my representative. But because our system is locked to two parties, I have to distrust her.
