Yes. This has been interesting.

Yeah, pretty much the same conclusion I have been saying 😕 Because quite frankly, why is it "the dems who know better"? Know better about what? The argument essentially derides having a federal government at all - which is fine, but that takes us back, again, to the time of warring states. Anyone can ask Japan about the Warring States period - 100 years of war - to know how that goes. And that seems to be what is being actively encouraged for political theater. What are they going to get out of this if they have to flee the country? What happens when this 'alternate reality of we know better' crashes against realities like covid? I guess I don't get how anyone fostering this actually expects a better outcome than the current direction. Magical thinking I guess.

The problem is literally any effort to do anything can be spun as that. Literally any effort to do nothing at all can also be spun as that. I'm not sure how one can account for the feedback of 'dems in Washington thinking they know best' when that's literally anything the party tries to do. If that's all it takes, at that point the federal government might as well split in two.

Read the comments if you want to understand why I believe left vs right equivocation is a joke. This isn't going away. This is literal 'alternate reality politics'.

Yeah. I know what the generals are saying, but how many of the lower ranks believe the election was legitimately stolen (despite how amazingly difficult that would be, and how no one put any evidence legitimately through the legal system)

Wonder how this will effect military voting records in the future.

Gotta love some malicious compliance like that.

I saw this a bit ago. Grr.

My apologies on losing my temper, though.

I wouldn't agree with that in totality, but I brought up the question because I think that financial representation from major donors has a lot more influence on policy than much else. There are exceptions, but I'm not proposing a fundamentally different government, merely soliciting suggestions on mitigations.

I haven't seen a serious attempt to push environmental agendas on either side that are sufficient in preventing our demise. I have zero people to expect action for, even when I do consistently vote for an environmental agenda. The system works but is killing us is like a medical system saying surgeries are successful but the patient died from them. If you want a coherent edit:researched and thorough argument from me, you will have to wait until I have the time. edit: I just disagree fundamentally that a system is working if it the system's stated goals are to support a society when that system's extensively exploited to the effect of killing that society. It will take a long time for me to break down on every instance of corruption, deception, and how parts of the economic system are rigged to continue it extensively and protecting those that do it, however.

edit: then again, I've been an environmental advocate for my entire life because I expected this outcome.
