Read.  Read Bulgakov, and Havel, and Orwell, and Huxley and Akhmatova and do not take them as warnings.  Read them to understand where you live now. Cowardice is the gravest of vices.  Put cowards and collaborators on ignore, here and in your life. 

 

Huxley? so can i get some soma up in this bitch? cuz Plan A is looking better as each week passes...

^^^^ Yeah, you sure don't want Big Peanut influencing Department of Agriculture policy.  Had he not done the trust some of us might have ended up wtih 51 or 52% peanuts.  It's a slippery slope.

Have we discussed the SAVE Act yet? Not the one Trump nixed to make student loans unaffordable again. The new Chip Roy one that will, among other things, possibly make it difficult for married women who changed their last name to vote.

Maybe it’s not so bad

Quote

A Republican representative introduced the act. However, if passed, the measure may actually reduce voting opportunities for Republicans, as a Pew study found that more Republican than Democratic women choose to change their name after getting married.

The SAVE Act also accepts valid passports as proof of ID. The states with the fewest number of people with passports are West Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. All of these states voted for President Donald Trump in 2024.

What would I prefer over the American two party system? Well, a multi party system.

except Bozo is a clown. So by calling someone a clown, or calling them Bozo, is the same.

And why would this multi-party system work better? How would it halt all the shit you hate? How would it not allow for misuse of citizens money? How would it protect the oppressed overseas you so care about?

And on that. When was the last time you went and did something about that? Go on a mission? Volunteer with MSF? Take a job in development with a rich NGO even. Something.

Maybe an interesting paper on this for consideration. I think that the "dysfunction" section lays out pretty nicely the current situation: https://protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/The-Case-for-Multiparty-Presidentialism.pdf

It would not address nor solve all of our problems. But it is clear, at least from my perspective, that given the increasingly polarized and dysfunctional US political system since the 1970s that something needs to change.

I’ve refrained a lot lately from commenting on shit like this.  But you are misrepresenting.  Brisket and lots of us said for years that the hate and demonization of dirty libs, browns, others, whatever that the Republican party feasted on would lead to bloodshed.  It did. El Paso here was the specific reference.  I don’t think it’s unreasonable for those who have witnessed the bloody fruit of the southern strategy steroided by religion and Oakley glasses to wish karma on the perpetrators.

At risk of doing a "well Ackshully", I don't believe that to be correct. It was from the old board IIRC. So pre-El Paso 2019. But you may be confusing that reference with the numerous other times that brisket has wished violence upon his political adversaries, not just in like conceptual terms, but directly towards other posters.

As we complete assembly of the least qualified and most sycophantic cabinet ever assembled, I look at our government as a corporation.  A large behemoth lumbering corporation, but ultimately results are driven by mission, and quality of execution. If I were investing in a corporation and they put in a board of directors like the Trump cabinet?  I would short it.

The good new is the Chairman of the board has a plan.  He will cal the same folks he called the very best, the very brightest... morons and people of very low quality.  Would you bet on the success of such an organization?

I also happen to know that the last administration added a shit ton of debt and could not sustain the employment numbers they inherited from the Obama administration.  Good luck finding a Republican that does not believe the exact opposite.  While you can suspend reality in politics, I don't think you can suspend reality in the economy.  Now I know the board room will be overflowing with praise no matter the results. I think we are going to have perhaps another 6 weeks before it's clear that inflation is surging.  And you cannot scapegoat away economic reality.  Add the monster debt bomb that the GOP pretends is not a debt bomb?  And you have a recipe for something very, very bad to potentially happen economically.  

I hope like hell that the exuberance in the market is not as fickle as I think it is.  And if I personally continue to lose money on by bets against the market I would be happy to lose more there if the economy can roar.  But I see lots of inflationary policies, pettiness, and a general lack of results beyond bluster, from the current cabinet (outside Bessent).  And while that may all work very well for television cameras.  It tends to negatively impact the bottom line of most corporations.

I just can't anymore. All you fucking do is point at some article and never take a real stance. I disagree with many on this board and have some good conversations. I have modified or changed my views based on what they have presented. Brisket is right. You are just a contrarian who wants to burn it down. Penelope is also right, but being a gentleman I won't repeat what she said. @PenelopeWitherspoon but you can. :)

You asked me a question. What alternative is there to the two party system. I gave you an answer, admittedly one that should have been pretty obvious to you. You asked how it would be better. I linked a piece from New American and Protect Democracy that goes into at least modest detail, and highlighted one particular relevant section. Sorry that disappoints you. Sounds like you just want something to whine about.

You know the drill. It'll be "both sides" but really only specific about Biden/Harris, etc., and making sure to add in a "but I don't like trump either" to pretend he's reasonable. The right just installed an anti-vaxer to lead Health and Human Services, but Biden was old and Harris was mean to some protesters who interrupted her rally, so you know, "BOTH SIDES." Or I guess now "if only we had more parties" as though he's the only one who hates the two-party system which makes him so totally smart and unique.

The irony that closeted MAGAs like him don't want to acknowledge is that the current "burn it down" will completely burn it down.  Any chance of democracy, done.  Biden or Harris?  No fucking chance.

Well done, you simple fucking traitor.  You won't escape what is coming, you're too arrogant to figure it out.

He has filed the most beautiful bankruptcies. They're really tremendous. A lot of people say probably the best bankruptcies.
