And someone more visually creative than me needs to create an unholy mix between Alf and a gander.

A sexy little pickle with a juicy little booty.

Seeing Daenerys Targaryen and the 11th Doctor, the silly one with the fez, with guns feels all kinds of wrong…

Our freedom is the reason we ended up with the stupid fascist president two times.

Nope. Blind belief that a 1700s system would adequately protect the will of the people against 21st century bad actors including the kinds of mega corporations that didn’t exist for decades if not a century after the founding.

We had a (mostly) free and fair election

Nope. Very far from it.

Not to mention the pickle minigun and the slaw howitzer…

If Belle was alive today, she’d have a tumblr about monster fucking for sure.

Neoliberalism, the ideology of the DNC, is a center right to right wing ideology that inherently favors moneyed interests over workers.

Conflating “liberal” and “Left” like the billionaire-owned media do on purpose only furthers the false dichotomy of the two party system.

Not yet. His cult only controls the House for a while yet.

If they wanted to and were willing to treat it as the emergency it is rather than insist on constitutional norms, the Biden administration and the Senate could get a LOT of things done before the fascists take the rest of the government and destroys everything good while boosting everything bad.

Fascist kakistocracy is months away and, other than a few press releases, they act like it’s business as usual.

But I keep my conversational and reasoning skills sharp by explaining things on the internet and you know how the internet do…

Neanderthals never met ancestors of homo sapiens

That’s what people USED to think. Turns out they not just met, but interbred.

Doubt it, if there are credible claims of systemic access and manipulation of vote totals, people would be all over that shit

Yeah, that’s what they said about all of Trump’s crimes too, but here we are…

That’s not the same as claiming the vote was stolen, and then presenting zero evidence.

I know. What I’m saying is that they’re using the risk of people impervious to evidence as lack of same accusing them as one of many excuses to not admit that the system they hold as more sacred than any ideal is broken and that they did a crappy job defending democracy.

Due process gets a little weird here

That’s a strange way to say “asylum seekers don’t have rights because they’re not legally considered people by US law”…

I think you misunderstood.

democracy cannot exist with massive wealthy inequality and money equal to speech

Is supposed to be the affirmative statement afaict.

The Netherlands having low wealth inequality and not equating money with speech (or giving corporations all the rights of people but none of the responsibilities and restrictions) makes it much MORE democratic than it would otherwise be.

I have no idea what that means but… Maybe? 🤷

Because the Dem leadership and the billionaire-owned media are too invested in the institutions of democracy to defend democracy itself by pointing out that those institutions broke under pressure from hostile actors that they treated as legitimate.

Also, they’re probably worried that their reasonable inquiries based on actual reality will be equated with the fraudulent “stop the steal” AstroTurf campaign.

We have to stop feeding into the narratives of these false dichotomies. We cannot choose between two evils but rather make a new alternative and work on the ground with all our power to create that alternative," she told RFE/RL. “But either way, the fight for democracy and fair and democratic elections will always be…a very basic principle that everyone needs to be able to stand by.”

Absolutely. 100% this. For Georgia, for Russia, for the US, for the rest of the West, for the rest of the world.

The Dubya war on terror “you’re either with the establishment ruling party unquestioningly or you’re with the establishment opposition party unquestioningly” or “you either love NATO or approve of Putin’s atrocities” bullshit has to end.

Here you go, professor 😁

I have now considered it. Not enthusiastically supporting the proposal, I must admit.

My bright spot today is tennis!
