"Progressive" purists managed to get Trump elected twice. They're maybe 3% of voters - not enough to win, but enough to spoil and get a win for the GOP. Plus, they get most of the media attention. The results are too consistent to be accidental. GOP control of the US govt must be want they want.

Maybe you should have convinced a few more of your friends to do the same. Maybe politicians take note of what voters do. Voters chose Trump, because too many of ours stayed home. Politicians who try to do the right thing, and then lose, have voters to thank for it.

And it certainly didn't help that US lefty and progressive voters decided that genocide against Palestinians was far more important to them than genocide against Ukrainians, Iranian women, US women, US immigrants, US POC, and US LGBTQ. But, hey, no more Palestinian genocide right? Oh, wait...

It was almost painfully bad. The acting and set design were (IMO) terrific, but everything else was awful. The structure, the internal consistency (ie, none), the fact that they made a "science fiction" movie with no science whatsoever, but did make sure to include a bunch of religious crap.

The extreme Left - inc. many DSA-ers - has always wanted a Glorious Revolution that burns down the existing order. The GOP is burning down the existing order. DSA-ers are fine with that. They expect their Glorious Revolution will come next. Nothing else matters.

Because the original post was just that ignorant. Ignorance can be excused in youth. in adulthood, ignorance is deliberate.

All righty, then. Go into your vast knowledge of How Things Work, and tell me one instance of a sitting Vice President publicly opposing the President who succeeded - in either changing the policy, or in becoming President. I'll wait while you Sad Puppies confer.

It often is, actually. Humphrey opposed LBJ's escalation in Vietnam, but couldn't say so publicly. Biden opposed Obama's refusal to pull out of Afghanistan, but couldn't say so publicly. You just don't undermine the Pres. if you're Veep.

This is why I have big time schadenfreude thinking how TechBros want to kill everyone else off and have the planet all to themselves. They don't know how to do anything. Farming? Basic sanitation? Ventilation? Hell, building a habitable shelter? They'll be f*cked and in the grave within years.

The lesson is that Trump was and is unfit to hold any public office. Yet USians elected him. Our President should not be trusted? US citizens should also not be trusted. Not just GOP voters. The non-voters, the "protest" voters, and the single-issue voters as well. All enabled this.

The Leftier-Than-Thou claque really is just anti-Democratic Party saboteurs, and that has proven very successful in terms of $$ and attention, so I expect you'll need to warm up your blocking finger.

Florida. Aside from the politics, which are a whole category of awful and cruel and stupid, the geography and climate seal the deal for me. High heat and high humidity, and the unwavering flatness, are dreadful. The giant roaches that fly at you if you try to spray them don't help, either.

I love summer rain, even if I have to be out in it. The recent t-storm here was notable for being an *actual thunderstorm*, with multiple big lightning-and-thunder strikes. Seattle t-storms are usually 2-3 polite thunder grumbles, which (as someone who lived in S Fla for years) makes me laugh.

YES! I am simply stunned at the sheer awfulness of the specimens presented to us as members of the Master Race. In a sane world, the best case against White Supremacy would simply be to look at the people espousing it. Shallow, ignorant, thin-skinned, know-nothings.

News outlets simply "report" (i.e., repeat unquestioningly) whatever ICE says. If ICE says the shooting was in self-defense, that is what the news will say. There will be no analysis, no context, no reminders that every previous assertion of self-defense has been a lie.

I'm not disagreeing at all with the idea that USians are too stupid to self-govern, but the problem with that idea is... what do you do instead? I think it was Churchill who said democracy was the worst governing system - except for all the others. I mean, authoritarian isn't great, either.
