@PonyPanda @taylan “rightfully fired” doesn’t sit right with me and risks falling into the trap of cancel culture. Not defending doxxing tho. Never trusted WP, not to mention Taylor Lorenz, as a credible source of information

@freemo @mssunshine if it were normal times, I would agree with you. But republicans are actively trying to disqualify thousands of ballots, upend the election, entrench their powers, and install rubber-stamp federal judges to hijack the judicial system. I think people don’t realize how extreme the Republican Party has become and just vote Republican because they don’t like the Dems. There’s no real leftist party in the U.S. with the Dems being elitist fucks

@freemo @mssunshine and as much as I normally rail against the establishment and the Republican Party makes sound like an institutionalist when I have no respect for all three branches of the government, we can’t have the Republican Party burn down the entire house. Especially the electoral system where we collectively decide who will wield powers. So although I despise almost all Democrats as well, I cannot in good conscience vote for Republicans

@freemo @mssunshine I mean I do read some bills—I admit I don’t read all of the bills, especially when the Dems keep drafting mammoth bills to finesse the razor-thin majority with the budge reconciliation that they can use only so many times a year, I don’t have the time to read >1,000 page bills.That being said, Dems generally have the direction correct—at least on the surface level. So you are right in that they make their evil less obvious. I think the problem is that Dems don't seem to *actually* solve problems cuz then they lose the reason for people to vote for them. So they either make the solution lackluster so the problem still lingers and people still need them in power, or solve one but create another.That being said, I also don't think paralyzing Congress is the way to go. Personally, I won't be affected—I can get by every day. Some vulnerable people who need help and the earth will not survive another Republican-majority term

@freemo @mssunshine Which third party do you recommend? I do think we need at least one more dem-majority term so that they can fix the campaign financing law that the Roberts Court broke. Then, third parties will have the wherewithal to rise to public visibility

@DotardTed wait, i said it wrong. This isn't a thousands separator; it's the decimal point!!! 1.452m = 1.452 times million = 1,452,000. You're literally moving the decimal point 6 times 😭😭

In 1899, no one cared whether you spoke their language. They just started talking to you in theirs
