Are all the people who complain that Democrats don't fight back going to show up in November to give the Democrats the *power* to fight back?

There's a lot I don't understand about the USA. Right now, I don't understand why people aren't physically trying to stop construction of the bunker. You know that they are going to take sanctuary there while they wage war on you, right?

Just catching up. "Centrist" is the new RINO, but applied to left-leaning moderates, right?

If you use the term "centrist" I will not take your comments seriously. It is a derogatory term that serves little descriptive purpose. Likewise "establishment", which is just a synonym for "deep state". Life is too serious for that lazy bullshit.

I will never understand why the threat of catastrophic climate change hasn't been the most important issue for everyone over the last 20 years. I don't even bother anymore, it's far too late to do anything about it now or to even lessen the impacts.

As the Mid-Terms draw closer, expect to see a HUGE uptick in the number of people trying to discourage voting by spreading "both parties are the same" or "voting doesn't change anything" type messages. They know that the only way for the GOP to survive is for most Americans to fail to vote.

It's hard to understand why devastating climate change, an existential threat to us all, is not on most people's radar. The current regime in the USA really put the kibosh on preparation and mitigation. Well, I am sure that THEY are preparing to look after themselves (see Bunker/Ballroom).

I really love a well written narrative history. They give a broad overview and inspire me to dig deeper into the subject area, which often results in reading more academic publications.

Progressives are just as enamoured with the cult of personality as magats. All looking for a saviour. There is no saviour, just groups of good people with a common cause who can only get into power with an electorate's full support.

The last novel that I tried to read, a Booker Prize winner, felt like a job that I had to go to but did not enjoy. It's time to just completely accept that I am a non-fiction reader. Most recently reading a maritime history while on holiday by the seashore. Crashing 🌊 the perfect aural enhancement.
