we need some kind of “subscribers bill of rights” both to discourage and to check the stupid business models.

Evangelicals have always loved the devil

I feel like this is a recurring theme for the silicon valley billionaires and we reached “Peak Bullshit” at NFTs and ever since then one thing after another has hit wall after wall

vote harder, make people pay for their votes.

post it to c/sexy voters.

most places that have a mail in option you can report a stolen ballot, afaik. So if somebody fills out your ballot just report it stolen from the mailbox

they justify by saying they can do more good outside a jail. Possibly true. Possible jails need more doctors.

politicians killed this girl as surely and as gruesomely as any serial killer.

if you go by news headlines this is only true if the teen is white

people already wishing we could go back to drop box fires.

you can still find their stated listed of goals. Trump actually killed the tea party when he passed his deficit bomb tax cuts. Like Paul Ryan basically was the face of the tea party and bailed out once it became obvious he was never serious about it.

The dem equivalent of the Tea Party are “Blue Dog Democrats” “Joe Manchin/Kristen Sinema” “Eric Adams”

If you aren’t willing to vote for somewhat icky democrats you get the first ex-republican corporations can scoop up. Not voting will solidify Dick Cheney and Nikki Haley as the furthest left we’ll get to choose from next election because if Joe Biden is electable and Harris isnt, the obvious conclusion democrats will be sold on is that they need to be somewhere between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

I will say this. Actual leftists get arrested for protests so like the real people actually fighting for people’s rights know that we’ll be sacrificing less people to stupid shit if Kamala is elected. There is no argument that can be made to armchair leftists and russian trolls though. They have no stake in the outcome because they either have enough privelege to sit it out or they are bad faith.

That’s not a “successful leftward strategy” When voters get tricked into nonvoting donors gain more power in the parties. Like that happens in both parties. None of the stated goals of the tea party happened but the corporations behind the tea party succeeded. Its 100% the opposite of a successful leftist strategy

I think you misread the quoted text because its referencing a non-quoted line

Maga sees themselves as both normal and better than everyone. The double standard is all they want and care about. Its why they fake outrage at “garbage” but cry like weenies when called “weird” and “creepy”

correct.

What exactly are you accusing of being a lie?

I would agree. Its like 80% russian disinfo or israeli settlers (I would love to see the IPs here) and like 20% people who feel icky about voting for a dem and are doing mental gymnastics.

I wouldn’t say don’t fuck republicans, but do not marry one without a prenup because there is like a 90% chance they’ll go insane because they saw non-white bandaids on a shelf or something

Excuse me did you just say the tea party succeeded? The #1 goal of the tea party was to eliminate deficit spending. They have done the opposite. They cut taxes and blew up the deficit.

What an insane example of a strategy to mimic. Their “protest” backfired on them spectacularly. It also doesn’t even account for the fact the tea party was wholly fabricated from like the Koch brothers and Fox News.
