Thanks for clearing that up, Schumer.

I agree, and that’s one of the reasons that I’m interested in how they compare now, as those graphs were made before Biden’s term and it would be insightful to see the comparison between Biden post COVID, Trump, and the others listed.

I found some relevant graphs in my photos from his first term that are also neat:

I’d be curious how they stack up now.

He was also too busy destroying everything a black man did to really think about anything else.

Yeah, why shouldn’t we send all Republicans to another country? Or how about those criminals guilty of being Jewish, or black, or gay? Or how about the crime of “looking too Mexican,” like the US did to US citizens during Operations Wetback 1 & 2.

Also, love how you even say “some of them are criminals,” not all of them. Meaning that you’re okay with gathering up some amount of innocent people and sending them to a different country with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.

I thought you were OP, so add their line about democracy being driven from the bottom up to your post and tell me if you can see the “If you people had just voted for the Democrats harder” in there.

Because usually when people talk like that, they’re leading up to blaming the Democrats losing on x group (usually either Millennials or a minority) not voting hard enough.

Also because voting is supposed to be the easiest action you can take, but for so many, even that is a risk to the roof over their head and the food in their bellies. The system has been rigged to the point where even the most basic of rights aren’t guaranteed, and we need to provide that for people if they’re ever going to be able to act.

My point is that for many people in this country, that’s practically an impossible task. You can either choose to vote in your gerrymandered district and get fired for taking a day off from work under right to work laws, or you can put food on the table. You can take the time off of work to get a license you may or may not ever use beyond proof under voter ID laws, again at risk of losing your job.

The people who can and don’t because their rights aren’t up for debate every 4 years are one thing. But many of us are already political by necessity, and it means nothing in the end.

Voting harder isn’t going to fix things.

Fuck that and the fuck the ADL. There is no unity to be had with fascists.

The system was designed from the ground up to make sure only the right kind of people had an actual say in it. The people at the top make damn sure that the people at the bottom have as little freedom to act on their right to vote as possible.

Are you a friend of Dorothy?

In fact, it’s discouraged in many states.

And north as well. Every county in the state of Massachusetts is currently rated as being in a critical drought right now.

Appreciate it, I remember reading many years ago that after WW2, most countries agreed to sign into law that soldiers were legally obligated to disobey unlawful orders and report the person who gave the order to their superiors, but that the US was one of the nations that didn’t.

But a quick search brings up nothing but articles talking about what you posted, so I can’t find any info on it. I wonder if in other countries it’s enshrined outside of military law, and that’s the distinction? I have no clue.

What country did you serve for? AFAIK, the US is one of a handful of countries that don’t have a law stating that soldiers are obligated to refuse unlawful orders and to report those who gave those orders.

Not “tyrannic” yet, but Project 2025 is 3 months away.

Flowery words coming from someone who now lives in a tyrannic monarchy.

Optimism, realism, and pessimism.

Big Carrot is coming for your stew

And yet nobody can ever experience it the way it was originally again since they killed Flash.

It’s like coming back from the war with PTSD and nobody understands what you went through. Except the PTSD is about buckets and dating quadrants.
