yeah, you arent actually going back far enough in history for the correct analogue. Your ancestors, if they have been here as long as mine, delivered moral correction to the south by force of arms, and we are dealing with a neo-confederacy.

one of the most annoying things is when you use a turn of phrase/proverb like "a hit dog gon holler" and someone wants to dissect it like "well that doesnt make sense as a proverb". how about you shut the fuck up ?

unfortunately, you don't have the right or authority to keep people out of the conversation, even if they cant form a coherent sentence. most voters are low info voters, and none of this stuff matters until its on their doorstep.

lotta "this is what should happen in an ideal world" in this response. We've all been alive long enough to know thats not how it is.

being able to cogently articulate a position is a debate/public speaking skill, not a lot of people have that. You usually get a first impulse response from the majority of regular everyday people.

a lot of people just arent debatebros, its off the cuff. There is also the big issue of city administrators signing NDAs and residents not finding out til its to late, which only further pushes it in to frothing anger, or the fact we really don't need all this capacity.

not sure what you expect from people when this stuff is being built in their neighborhoods. At the individual level, as in how they feel, this distinction is meaningless. Regular people do not want this shit and the argument from everyone else is not compelling in regards to allowing it.

I dont think I agree on that point since that stereotype of a firearm owner has shifted a bit over the last decade or so. It is now pretty common to find progressive/left people who own guns and MAGA is maybe at the high end 25% of the country population wise.

"Politics should be left out of music" is something a moron who has never looked at the lyrics would say, like guys who say Rage Against the Machine shouldn't be political this is actually incredibly funny and if you think Ed Sheeran makes good music, you have terrible taste.

yeah, this is all fine to them. They don't ned to. "get serious" because they already are. They support what they allow, and the only acceptable outcome from this whole saga is every GOP member, Trump and his family in prison.

Pittsburgh is headed for a second round of potentially severe storms tonight & a lot of places are already saturated so will flood. Windstorm chances at 30%. If you can take pictures or video SAFELY, and want to send it to help us cover the storm & aftermath, it would be deeply appreciated.

Natalie Harp is a year older than Martin Luther King Jr. was when he gave his I Have a Dream speech. She has agency and is running the propaganda operation that serves to put people in concentration camps. She does not get a pass because she looks like a dipshit teenager.

We need to bring back the original concept of "common sense" that has somehow been twisted by the right to mean whatever they want it to mean in the moment. Common sense used to be shit like "dont touch stuff thats hot" or "dont write a check your ass cant cash" etc not this dumb bullshit

"shoot them in the leg or hand" is really up there with dumb comments on self defense or police. I'm not even sure why that is brought up like its some workable alternative. Same thing with "why did they shoot the guy with the knife" well kids, a person with a knife can cross 25ft in 1-2 seconds.
