So we’ve gone up from 4th Amendment violations to the 5th Amendment. Soon it’ll be 6th, and the 13th is a little shaky.

    This shit will happen every day from now on until something is done about it- and complaining doesn’t seem to be the solve.

      I hate to admit this but I’m terrified to go beyond complaining. I don’t want to have to fight these fucking ghouls. But I guess the pool of options is evaporating.

        I feel ya. But doing noting hasn’t really moved the needle much. Complacency teaches repetition.

              LOL, what the FUCK? How? That makes no sense.

              Me asking some random person encouraging others to get killed what he is contributing makes me a “narc”?

              These internet warriors are trying to incite violence from the safety of their keyboards. They deserve to be called out. And the fact that all you can respond with is a childish, irrelevant insult says it all.

                “You want me to post my secret illegal plans on a public forum?”

                “Oh crap, I shouldn’t have said I had plans”

                “Oh crap, I shouldn’t have said they were secret”

                “Oh crap, I definitely shouldn’t have said they were illegal”

                It’s ironic af that you accuse someone of childish insults, when all someone has to do is read further down to see your grandiose display of sheer vitriol.

              1. To lessen the force or intensity of; moderate.
              2. To take away; subtract.
              3. To lessen by retrenching, deducting, or reducing; to abate; to beat down; to lower.

              bait /bāt/

        Don’t fight these ghouls. They are a symptom; oligarchs are the disease.

            Option 1: They invade cities

            Option 2: They don’t invade the cities

            Option 3: Don’t give a fuck about the people in the cities <- This is the option you are supporting here

            Imagine being so daft that you aren’t voting as a civic duty, let alone against fascism.

            By not doing that you ensure that more drastic measures HAVE to be taken later on. Great job non voters.

              I didn’t say whether I voted or not. I said the Democrats messaging wasn’t exactly the stuff of inspiration.

                  Nobody asked me if I voted. They just assumed I didn’t because I said the Democrats ran a shitty campaign that failed to energize people. It doesn’t matter anyway, harris won my state by a huge margin.

              You are defending the party that refuses to be popular in a country that chooses leaders based on popular elections. Think about that, while you think about how doing the same thing expecting different results is the definition of stupid, as you prepare to browbeat and yell down everyone for the next aristocratic corporate whore offering nothing but empty platitudes to a population in the face of republicans cheating.

              You people have made our situation hopeless, unwilling to admit a mistake you are dragging us all into the abyss.

                I’m not saying they can’t be better.

                I’m saying people should vote as a civic duty and maybe shouldn’t be complete jackasses who sit at home and let fascism win. Two things can be true at once.

                  And I am saying that without getting popular opposition, and at this Point aggressive opposition with organization behind them, a group that knows how to build and run a political machine, then there is zero chance of rescuing the republic. You guys refuse to engage that point and bring it back to if only everybody believed harder and voted. Everybody went way out of their way to get Biden elected in the face of attempts to fix it for republicans, and he did absolutely God damn nothing with it. Then settled us with a doomed to fail candidate, and he was doomed to fail if he stayed in either.

            You allowed Trump to come to power. That makes you a scumbag. You want to pretend like you have the high ground when you helped a convicted felon, pedophile who tried to overturn our democracy and is currently destroying the country get elected? Absolutely not.
