Every democracy is just one bad judge away…

Biden fell off his bike two years ago. When do suppose was the last time the other guy rode a bike?

Half a million Russians fucked to bits because war crimes are easier than resisting tyranny. Devastating realization

At that point simple tricks don’t work so well and you just have to start spending energy to move heat around

The current chairman was selected by Biden, so he’s presumably onside. He and the rest could hypothetically stage an internal coup against Biden, but you’re describing something that has never to my knowledge occurred, and would smash the political machine of the party from within.

At that point we’re talking about an actual revolution, and you and I are not close enough to open that discussion.

You’re right, I misspoke. Weasel wording is how intelligent people lie.

Wrong again, little dude. The DNC is not in charge of Biden, quite the opposite.

We have an oligarchic duopoly squatting in our democratic republic, and a plethora of military juntas (AKA police unions) bullying our devolved local powers into submission. The American experiment ended a few decades ago, and we never even noticed. Maybe go duck hunting with a judge about it.

Smeg off, you sorry assholes.

You say “we should run a Dem candidate” but this is not how the system actually works. Both parties are private organizations whose internal policies are regulated internally. The primaries are not public institutions, they are not federally regulated, and their results are not even legally binding. “We” could run the perfect candidate as a Democrat. They’re unfailingly charismatic, knowledgeable on every subject, yet every voter sees themselves in them. Lifelong Republicans even change party to vote for them. Ultimately, the Democratic party is not obligated to accept them as leader, even with 100% of all votes in their favor.

It’s broken. I’m not trying to tell you that it’s okay. It’s not. But just being mad without understanding what you’re mad about isn’t going to change a damn thing.

Sounds like someone needs the refreshing flavour of peptides

Chiming in on behalf of Merkur, who replaced a failed part on my safety razor for free by mail with no proof of purchase, a decade after it was bought.

For VLC, anything

Literally every old person with a modicum of power or importance acts like this

What are you gonna do, not update your enchanted sword for the latest security patch? That’s how you get Stormbringer.

I used to think as you do, but in the heat a moist cooling towel worn about the neck, especially when paired with a wide brimmed hat, can be a great comfort.

The typical playbook is lie until caught, shield oneself with lawyers as long as that works, get a light sentence or none due to being rich, and then tell one’s electorate the whole thing was politically motivated persecution.

Of course I’m still new to UK politics, maybe the rouble has a different conversion rate here.

ridiculous and abysmal

I wish them luck

Guy came this close to completing a single thought without weasel words

That feels closer to what I was hoping to articulate. We shouldn’t be relying on the largesse of the voting homeowner class to fund our schools at a patchwork of levels, we should be dropping aircraft carrier money into schools and creating the most informed electorate in history.

They don’t want to be better. They want to be even worse.

They executed Louis XVI more than 200 years ago! Connect a few more dots and you’ll be into the thousands without too much effort.
