I mean tbf I’ve seen the libertarians and greens run those races too, it’s just that being a third party under fptp bites those candidates just as hard as their presidential candidates.

Also having such a hopeless position means they’re not actually accountable to their supporters, meaning refusing to actually try to build a movement doesn’t actually hurt them.

Bernie does it by basically replacing the local democratic party in his races though

He’s an independent that acts as the 1st party

How is it even a wine at this point? Doesn’t it naturally become vinegar after long enough?

I’m pretty sure at this point I’ve made several people wish death on me, or at least significant misfortune.

Being a leftist who believes in the civic duty to reduce harm through voting for less right leaning politicians does not make you popular with very many people at all.

I mean hey, dragon with a passion for cooking and looks like a penchant for dressing with panache, if they’ve got the right personality I’d call that a catch!

Babies are the most adorable things that routinely ruin your sleep isolate you from your friends eat your entire wallet and reward you by making you personally clean all their literal shit.

And some how when they grow up all you can do is wish you had your adorable scrunchietato back

Well now I’m picturing the poor SoB who got his mmr directly into the testicle

I don’t know who’d be in bigger legal trouble, the parent who let it happen or the doctor who’s batshot enough to actually do it

“well akshualay that doesn’t count because 80s or something”

Isn’t that the exact same thing people say about why nothing Biden does that’s even remotely progressive deserves credit?

Do they at least get one day of shoukshouka for breakfast?

Pffffffffft, assimilating into Irish culture, yeah, ok

FTR, everyone who’s switched to gailge around you isn’t doing it to help you practice listening, they’re doing it to all laugh at what a dumbfuck yank you are.

Jill Stein wins, so now instead of just genocide in Gaza we now also have Genocide in Ukraine because Stein is a known Manchurian Candidate sponsored by Russia.

No, you’re just a dumbass who failed basic math.

FPTP has been explained to you green freaks enough times now for y’all to just be declared willfully ignorant. You’re anti-vaxxers but for political consequences instead of letting measles make a comeback. Only also some of you are also anti-vaxxers so lol we all gonna get fucked because the people who swear they’re the only ones who take the threat of fascism seriously are downplaying the risk of fascism by whataboutisming about da bigger fascism that’s happening on the other side of the planet…that they’re also going to be enabling by letting the fascists here win, but don’t worry they have some guilt tripping about “genocide is never ok!” to pull out to justify letting even more genocide happen.

Biden is no different from Trump

Found the white bougie kid.

“I’m sure letting the fascists win chasing the rapturous dream that this time surely it will teach the DNC “its lesson” is 100% in the interests of that trans kid! And I get to make that judgement call because the list the fascists put out says how much further down the kill list I am from them!”

There is at least one timeline where Alfred has rocked Superman’s shit just for daring to show his face after a fight he had where he injured batman.

Bro have you seen Alfred fight?

The problem would not be Alfred losing, it would be stopping him from plugging the Joker like an out of charge phone because he has made very clear that he does not share Batman’s distaste for firearms.

This whole discussion is itself a metaphor, the people who are the most worried are the ones who understand the least about who they’re talking about.

Germany gets a pizza day?

It isn’t enough for these people to cast the underprivileged into the fires, they won’t be satisfied until they’ve convinced the underprivileged to throw themselves in as an act of holier than thou defiance

That opposing force is the sheer amount of desperation people are putting into chasing voters to the polls

There isn’t an opposite manifesto because the opposition to Project 2025 is a big tent coalition of several groups that in a proper democratic system would be entirely different parties.

It’s a beast with 20 heads that all have to agree to make any significant movement in any given direction, and so all that this monster can agree to do right now is to keep keeping the other guy out and hope a resolution comes in the process.

Only sometimes one of the heads decides to be a privileged little twat and not even agree to that, and then gaslight everyone else about how they all made the twat decide to let the worse guy win.

Anyways the point is someone would have to beat down the egos of a lot of big names to unite the democratic coalition enough to put out a counterproposal to Project 2025.

You probably could do it too with enough being the biggest most confrontational douche ever seen in the DNC to literally everyone until you’ve successfully bowled everyone else over and browbeaten them into line, but congratulations now the only thing they’re more united about than The Project for All is how much they all hate you and want to ruin you so they can all go back to being the petty lords of their sub-partisan fiefdoms.

These should really all be connected by HSR to the major cities and centers in this country

Would cut down exponentially on car pollution, grant easy access and advertising to less known parks and putting up improved park hotel infrastructure at the stations can give most folks the satisfaction of having been there while also handling any induced demand it creates.

Plus you can use bargain “rail-trip” tickets to redirect people from the big name over toured parks to multiple parks at once that could also use some public love and attention.

Or shit you can make the rails themselves a hotel with special sleeper cars that route to give the guests as nice a rolling view as possible.
