People who don’t care to learn, but want to have an opinion. Doesn’t matter the topic, sports, movies, business, politics, science, every asshole wants you to listen to their half-brained, malformed thought prions, and then insist that it’s disrespectful to point out flaws in their “reasoning.” I don’t mind people being disengaged. It’s a big world, and nobody is an expert in everything. But respect is earned, and being an expert entitles you to an opinion. Everyone else should shut the fuck up.

I have a slow drain so the shower ends up with a shallow puddle by the end. So, no, I don’t like standing in a puddle of my own pee.

But otherwise, pipes is pipes. No judgement here.

We have a shit load of laws designed to prevent fascism. They aren’t preventing fascism.

The point is that the ones who don’t know should know. That’s like the entire point of news. If the article keeps it vague, then people who are barely paying attention might think that an actual judge made a legal ruling based on the law. They might assume that a federal judge is non-partisan and independent.

Yeah, these articles shouldn’t say “a federal judge…” “Trump lackey Aileen Cannon has once again protected her masters.”

People are mad at you because you’re accurately describing reality.

Honestly, whether I agree with him or not, it’s refreshing to have a progressive leader actually attempting to be persuasive in his campaign, rather than just “Look how bad my opponent is! I promise to do all the things you like and none of the things you don’t like, depending on what those things are and the context of the decision.”

It’s like if the slowpoke meme and the fellow kids meme had a baby and it tried to claim it was steering the boat while waterskiing.

Seems like we are at war.

Isn’t the point of joining the military is to surrender free will? That’s one of the many reasons I didn’t want to.

At this point, what can happen? Congress is under the same sticky thumb as Trump, and there aren’t enough voters who are engaged enough to even know about it. The firehose of bullshit did exactly what it was supposed to do, and now there’s no public will left to keep fighting for freedom and democracy.

Polymarket apocalypse futures are soaring right now.

Because Atlanta isn’t going to be a favorable venue. Too many reasonable people in the city.

“I didn’t know I couldn’t do that!”

You are correct.

DC, Puerto Rico, Samoa, Guam, US Virgin Islands, if you want a 51st state, there are better options that don’t require starting a world war with our closest allies.

Is that like how a sunny day shifts towards being long?

You really think 2/3 of Americans are progressive?

Honestly, that’s bullshit. The left shows up to vote consistently for the Democrats. All polling data confirms that the people who stay home are the disengaged and the moderates. It’s not that people can’t agree on what is left enough, it’s that the center tries to win votes from the right by demonizing the left, and it doesn’t work. Successful campaigns across the political spectrum are persuasive and idealogical. The voters are never going to be more enthusiastic than the candidate.

And that’s the difference between leadership and pandering. Telling people in the center what they want to hear because you’re afraid to lose is precisely how you lose.
