  • Have you considered Canada? I don't know what the residency rules are like, but it might help both putting you just outside of the decaying political situation of the US, whilst remaining near to her friends and family.

  • "There is no place to spit in a rich man's house but his face" is one of my personal favorites.

  • Explanation: Diogenes was an Ancient Greek philosopher who lived in an empty wine barrel on the streets and passed along unconventional wisdom to passers-by, often unasked for. Such brilliance as "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing my belly!" when accosted for masturbating in public, and "Behold, a man!" whilst holding a plucked chicken, when Plato's Academy defined a man as a featherless biped.

    Unironically, though, his iconoclasm, while eccentric, does show a well-considered and coherent value system, and for that reason, despite everything, was a major influence on later philosophers, especially the Cynic school. Alexander the Great famously said, "If I were not Alexander, I would want to be Diogenes." to which according to some accounts Diogenes replied, "If I were not Diogenes, I too would want to be Diogenes."

  • Nothing like clickbait headlines using a right-wing podcaster to put words in Bernie's mouth.

    Oh, Return2Ozma? Who would've guessed.

  • The vast majority of Americans want a weapons embargo on Israel. Even the slim majority of Republicans at this point

  • That's a problem with the voters, man. That's my point. GIGO.

  • I’m not sure lack of a primary was a problem. The last time we had a primary, there were several worthy candidates, including Harris, Warren, Mayor Pete, Klobuchar, and others. Yet, we still ended up with EVERYBODY’S last choice.

    Bruh, Harris, Pete, and Klob all consistently polled under Biden as first choices before they dropped out.

  • Me, after a horrific 20s: "Alright, the 30s are gonna be my decade!

    ... please... they have to be..."

  • Sorry that you find details like "The actual composition of the Senate" to be troubling and mentioning it to be 'a slapfight'. Reality is troublesome to the whole "Dems are worse now than they've been in decades!" narrative, I know.

  • And by an astounding coincidence, you identify anyone to your left as “materially contributing to the victory of fascists.”

    lmao

    Believe it or not, you and the rest of the "Sink the Dems at any cost" brigade are not the entirety of the left. Shocking, I know.

    I mean, I’m not the one who promised to revisit the public option and then didn’t.

    Wow, why didn't the Dems use their 50-50 'majority' to pass a deeply contentious bill that would have been unable to get all 50 Dems onboard regardless of the compromises involved, yet would need a 60-40 majority to pass???

    Of course, if they'd tried, you would have condemned them for trying and wasting time on a meaningless gesture (which would be true) instead of doing real work.

    The only thing you care about is making sure "the LIBS" lose and the fascists win. Because if the fascists are in power, you feel heroic when you roleplay as a leftist. The blood of minorities makes for great cosplay makeup, it would seem.

  • You scream “fascist” at anyone to your left.

    No, I accuse people who materially contribute to the victory of fascists as being fascist supporters, which they are. Sorry that's too complex for you to parse.

    A lie, same as it was in 2020.

    Oh, okay, so it doesn't actually matter what left positions the Dems ran on, you'd just assert that it was all lies anyway.

    What a surprise. This is my shocked face.

  • I’m saying that you will say anything to demonize your left and only your left.

    lmao

    Fascists aren't to my left, and neither are their supporters.

    And now you’re trying to pivot from the actions of democrats to the campaign promises of one democrat.

    Okay, would you like to remind me what the Dem party platform in 2024 was on the minimum wage? Go on. Remind us all.

    And biden promised to pursue it when in office. Then didn’t. It was a lie.

    Jesus fucking Christ.
