Make sure you get a few “it’s not unusual”s in there to give them hope

Barry and W are both still spry enough to make an approximation real and honestly they both owe us all at least that at the minimum

We’ve seen a bunch of gestapo shit already but physically persecuting and intimidating a public figure as recognizable as Pete is a ramp up.

He’s one of the few democratic representatives this ain’t true of

This is one of the worst stories overall I’ve ever read about police violence, heart breaks for the mother especially and I’m sure her friend has some guilt even though it’s in no way actually her fault.

I hope this metastasizes in the same way the murder of George Floyd did

I know I’ll never forget

This so much! They actual left needs to start playing dirty because we’re fighting two fronts, the actual fascists and the embedded institutions of neoliberal status quo

That’s not at all what I said, I said that most people in the US think the DNC is on the left, even though they objectively ain’t, I didn’t say anything about what most people considered themselves

Don’t disagree at all, I think a lot of what’s going on is the uptick in the “eternal September phenomenon”. A lot of us have been here for a while even if like myself we’ve switched instances, and those that have stuck around know the way things work and also like it, the new folks come here and think it’s Reddit, and when they get pushback because we’re all clearly here because we on one level or another had problems with Reddit or some other platform, they seem to think we’re the inclusive ones. When really they’re all up in the koolaid and don’t even know the flavor.

Some will stick around and some will bail, and then the cycle repeats, it’s just been happening with greater frequency

Edit: I’ll also freely admit that sometimes it is a bit serious here for my personality which leans flippant, but that’s fine, I still am here for a reason

I was about to post this if I didn’t see it

That’s actually true in the US too by those not deluded, stupid, faithful or combination of all three. Problem is those people constitute 80-95% of the population because our education is purposefully shit tier

Fuck that I want him in stocks for the rest of his days

If there was ever any doubt that the DNC was bought and paid for this ought to remedy that, when faced with a popular platform they fear how their opposition’s adherents

Yeah the elite are happy to fan the culture war because it doesn’t effect them, but the fallout from them doing so is now ANOTHER problem that absolutely needs to be fixed

This is such a wild article, it’s a monument to the arrogance and stupidity that lead to the DNC dropping every single wide open ball they have been thrown in my adult life

California or Washington or fuck it Texas should declare secession the day before the 250th and stain the whole thing. Would be really funny

Tucker isn’t on anyone’s side but Tucker’s. If he does damage against maga and the GOP I’ll be happy he did but he can still go eat a tire

“Burnt out from rage” is closer to me but yeah

UK folks I’m here to help, growing up poor in the American south has left me with a specific set of skills and knowledge.

I know a bunch of yalls houses if not most of em don’t have central A/C if even a window unit. I’ve been to your country in the summer and know it’s humid as hell. You’re gonna need a box fan, some ice, a bucket, and a drill with a hole boring drill bit. Bore four holes in the sides of the bucket, dump in the ice and then secure the box fan to the top, we always used duct tape. That’ll cool shit off pretty well until the ice melts at least for the room you’re currently in. Filling up any sinks with ice can help too if there’s no airflow to the bathroom.

It ain’t perfect but it’s better than nothing. Just a tip from your friendly neighborhood hillbilly!
