411·3 days agoA 100 minute video from AOC? I’d love to watch it, why would she only post it to Instagram? Are there any mirrors out there?
6·16 days agoYou know your argument is so weak that you feel you can’t make it without redefining a centuries old term.
6·1 month agoThe minor arcana in this deck is kinda lame, but the major arcana is pretty fun. I’d only recommend for hard core Trek and Tarot nerds who are interested in using the major only, which is fun to combine with other decks for some flavor in readings.
So many naive and disengenuous both-siders in this thread. You all support the guy who said the constitution should be disolved and signed an executive order attempting to overrule precedent set by Marbury v. Madison in 1803 because “both sides”?
The Democratic party hasn’t held the kind of 3 branch power MAGA currently abuses since the Obama era and they never did half of the corrupt shit the tired old man you worship does on the daily. Your both-sidesism rings hollow.
231·1 month agoTypical MAGA scum - they hate free speech and want to murder their neighbors while disguising themselves with the ceremonial trappings of philosophies which espouse the opposite.
62·1 month agoI agree, based on my own experiences,.that no logic or reason can reach these people. I think we can move the conversation forward by admitting that there is a strong human instinct toward fascism. It’s in our DNA to salute the tallest thing in the room because ancestors that didn’t were purged. Those of us who can reason and maintain values are the exception to this flaw.
But is there another way to reach them on an emotional or instinctive level? Hope springs eternal in me, and I can’t help but feel the solution involves denying them their group identity and making a mockery and shaming them as pariahs for their bad behavior.
These days, the fact is that no MAGA scum is a conservative. They are radical revolutionaries, more naive than the most extreme patchouli scented hippies of the 1960s, who have abandoned their Christianity to worship a man who said the constitution should be dissolved simply because he lost a court case. I think this is the key, but I must admit, I’ve never been able to turn one of them. Sagan was right about the deep seated human instinct to ignore shameful evidence when one is tricked.
I was hoping for the same thing, but after watching her livestream from earlier this week, she all but explicitly says she’ll support Jeffries.
Why? Because 1) it’s completely uncontested right now so there is no alternative on the ballot, and 2) if she doesn’t, the leadership will make sure she gets no comittee assignments and therefore no real influence. It really was eye opening and disappointing to hear how the sausage is made. It seems like step #1 is to get an alternative to throw their hat into the ring and even that hasn’t happened yet.
