You know what you know. Tell them not to do stupid shit next time. If there's a next time. The Schumer Strategy doesn't work. Hasn't worked. Won't ever work. Run to the left and you can't lose. Run to the right and you're guaranteed to lose. Proven track record. And don't support genocide. Ever. Not materially or tacitly.

Y'know I was on team Kamala. Right up until the night of the DNC when they wouldn't allow a Palestinian to speak. And all those party members were outside laughing and smiling and dancing at protesters. Because up until that point I in my foolishness truly believed that my party was better than that. That there was some kind of moral superiority at play. Even if they're all corrupt shitbags. I thought that in their heart of hearts that they were still human. That maybe they could be redeemed somehow. But they showed me my folly. That night. That was the end of it. Now I really don't give a good god damn what happens to this country. I thought Republicans are evil and our guys were pretty shit but not outright evil themselves. But boy they sure showed me.

It's not the carefully crafted speeches or big policy pushes that tell you who they are. Its those small moments. Like in 2015. When Chump announced his run. He was pandering to the lgbt crowd. He paid them lip service openly. Even claimed support for them would be in the party platform. Then the GOP quietly removed that and he didn't fight it. Small moments. That told me who he was. An opportunistic grifter. A conman. He'd say anything to get his way. And I learned to pay attention to those small moments.

I refused to vote for genocide.

And boy they pushed hard didn't they? Remember when they held that presser to tell the country "We are legally obligated to do this but we openly declare what Israel is doing to be a criminal war crime and we condemn it in the strongest of terms. We also call for international investigations and observers" Remember when that happened? When they did that? Do you remember it? Because I don't. Because it never happened.

You tell yourself whatever the fuck you need to so you can sleep at night. I sleep like a baby. I've never once questioned myself. I knew what would happen. I knew it waaay back. I knew that the Clown Prince was a lying fraud as far back as 2015. (didn't vote for him back then either btw) But what I also knew was that the dems have a bad habit of lying through their teeth. 2016 didn't help. Wilding v. DNC Services Corp didn't either. Nowadays my vote is for sale. It costs universal healthcare. I don't listen to spin. I don't watch what used to be news channels or the panels of spin doctors they field. Because its all smoke. Every talking point was hand crafted by wonks who think we're all mouth breathing knuckle dragging morons. (sitting here laughing about how right they've turned out to be as I type this.) All I care about is policy. Hard Policy. With real impact. That's universal healthcare, free college, UBI, etc. They can either do the policy or die. Along with this despicable country. If it isn't ever going to get better then its better that it burns. Right now both parties are fine with genocide. The most you'll get out of them is them running away from cameras. And I will never vote for anyone who supports genocide. Not under any circumstances. Not to save myself or my neighbors. That's my blood red line (of childrens blood) in the sand. If you can hold your nose good for you. I can't, won't, and won't even entertain the idea of it. If that's what this country is then this country shouldn't exist anymore. We are lost if we can trade comfort at home for the lives of millions. I've seen that before during Bush and Obama's global war on peace.

They've definitely fucked. They got that ex-hate thing going on.

You voted for genocide. Get help. Be better.

Man who spent his life exploiting global economy is mad that the economy is global.

California needs to join together with Washington and Oregon and break away from the US. It'll fast track the collapse of this shithole. Cali alone is what? 9th largest economy on earth? They'll be fine. Break and join BRICS. Other states will follow and the Clown Prince's 4th reich will have lost a not insignificant chunk of its tax money.

Here's what they look like if you're feeling like taking a cue from how our British cousins deal with these things.

Nazi fucks busting out the calipers?

McScuse me bitch?

"Social Media Vetting"

We doing thoughtcrimes now? That where we're at? Goddamn fascist bastards.

Jailbreak your shit. You own it don't you?

He got pretty Trumpy at one point. I think someone told him to shut the fuck up.

Bad news dude. That article is from 2014. He has further lost his goddamn mind in the last 11 years.

Based. Not oof.

We don't support genocide in this house. Not by anyone.

I know..... it sucks when your old favorites turn out to be assholes. I was a huge fan of Smashing Pumpkins back in the day.

Thankfully Green Day and The Offspring haven't let me down.

Absolutely not.

Go to HR. Ask for a W-4. Change your withholding to $0.00.

Congrats. You're no longer paying taxes. You will still owe taxes. They'll come for you eventually. Maybe. If the country lasts long enough.

Go watch The Vengeful One. Not only is the song a banger by itself but the video is more pertinent to current events than ever.

No but I'd love to hear that audio.

Isn't that what we call "Innovation" in our capitalist society?

You build a thing. Pour your blood sweat and tears into it. Some VC goon buys it during a downturn. They fire most of the staff. Strip the copper out of the walls. Make the service shittier and shittier until all that is left is its faltering brand recognition then sell it all for a bundle to the very next sucker they can?
