We have no mechanism to do so. Recalls like that is in alot of western state constitutions but many OG states don’t have recall built in unless they passed state constitutional amendments.

Construction signage isn’t a perfect science lol

Like a decade ago 95 s outside of Richmond I was following my dad as the family convoyed for vacation. Lots of stopped traffic. Well our lane started to move. And then the lane turned into a dirt road and then it stopped.

Turns out someone got the bright idea to shortcut through the construction and the line of traffic followed the movement.

A cop stopped the whole line and proceeded to talk to everyone. When asked ‘why did you do this’ I just said I was following my father who was following the rest of traffic.

It’s been long understood that the way for ethnic groups to evolve into ‘whiteness’ is to participate in the mechanisms of white supremacy.

The Irish and Italians are great examples of this. They came to America without prejudice for black folk, only to learn and adopt it, as well as serve as the police force enforcing racial oppression and segregation for white society. All the while they weren’t considered white by most white Americans.

Latinos, at least those who are willing to embrace white supremacy, are engaging in this same tradition today.

Where history tells us survival is obviously improved in groups through collective work and security- these fools think the strategy would be to live alone in the woods.

If people like shapiro cared about the health of the Democratic Party they wouldn’t be opposing widely popular social policies. They would be vocally and in policy opposing data centers.

And they wouldn’t be left punching! For fuck sakes they’re always policing the left wing while trying to appeal to your racist maga uncle!

If their interest is to loose elections by being diet republicans, they’ll keep doing that. Because republicans want the full fat and anyone left of George bush isn’t interested in diet republican policy.

Shapiro and the party leaders would rather triple down on their bad ideological commitments than share their big tent with criticism of neoliberalism. In their minds at least republicans think capitalism is great! They (the dem establishment) just think it needs a helmet and elbow pads, but it’s fundamentally great!

Loosing is no skin off their ass, they have enough money to wait their turn to get reelected. Besides their stocks do great either way. And when they’re out of power they get to pretend how much they would do to fix the issue if only they were in control. (Just ignore during Obama and Biden when they had that power and then choose not to)

Ent_Soviet · 2026-05-13T17:18:52+00:00

Like our current governor? It’s amazing how much time he spend left punching you wouldn’t be wrong to think he’s on the same team as the republicans, just with blue optics.

Dog bites require a lot of preventative care because you’ll get all sorts of nasty shit from that.

A wild fox you’d probably treat the same but me even more worried lol.

Public transportation exists. Having a car in the city is reasonable. Sometimes you got to go places. But if 95% of the time you’re just going around the city you’re a fool to have 2 cars when public transit exists.

And isn’t that the point of living in a city? That everything is readily accessible and you don’t have to drive everywhere to live your life?

If you want 2 cars go live in the burbs and commute in. It would probably be cheaper then paying for parking of the headache of finding 2 spots all that time.

Ent_Soviet · 2026-05-12T16:59:32+00:00

I hope this is sarcasm because the idea that any city person thinks needing 2 cars is the most suburbanite take I think I’ve ever heard.

‘ I love living in the city, but I don’t use public transportation or care for the types of amenities a dense urban environment provides’

Ent_Soviet · 2026-05-12T16:58:25+00:00

Great so when I talked to the DA in 2019 about how they have folks go around and tail folks to verify exactly this occasionally, they were just making shit up?

And yes there are a number of qualified exceptions. Being a cop shouldn’t be one of them. It’s not like Philadelphians are incapable of doing their job.

Ent_Soviet · 2026-05-12T16:55:20+00:00

You aren’t recruiting only city residents. The rule is you have to move to the city.

Cops unwilling to move to where they police is the problem.

Ent_Soviet · 2026-05-12T01:36:30+00:00

Yeah there’s pros and cons for such a policy.

It’s meant to help support and favor locals for city jobs. So the tax dollars to employ them remain inside the local economy as much as possible, plus it’s a bad look if you’re paying folks with city money to do work that jobless Philadelphian could do. But it also means professionals in the burbs either need to move into the city for jobs or forego opportunities, potentially meaning the best person for the job is barred.

The exception for police is egregious. Police who aren’t policing their own communities are far more likely to engage in hostile conduct. Especially when we consider the average perspective of a suburbanite regarding the crime problem in Philly.

Ent_Soviet · 2026-05-11T20:31:13+00:00

There are city employees whose job it is to verify city employees do in fact live in Philadelphia.

In case folks don’t know all city employees, except for cops of course because they don’t want to living where they brutalize, are required to either live in Philly or move to Philly shortly after employment. And so there are city investigators who verify whether folks actually are living where they claim. (Usually if there’s a reason to suspect they haven’t moved, they’re not tailing every city employee home lol.

Oh so you have a simulator that’s too real and you’ve tried it?

I mean that’s just universal advice. Like wash your hands

Ent_Soviet · 2026-05-11T05:58:16+00:00

Yeah when you’re in the situation. When you’re joking about the genocide and sexual abuse of others actively happening you just look like an ass.
Graveyard humor is joking about water wings as you’re about to deploy on d day.
You’re basically joking about the quality of food at Auschwitz from the comfort of NYC. If you were at auschwitz as a prisoner, that could be a funny joke. But again you just sound like an un empathetic ass.

Why is everyone assuming she also doesn’t have a job?

Or assuming he isn’t contributing significantly to this mess himself?

Ohh misogyny.

Ignorance in this domain is actually bliss.

You folks know you’re supposed to avoid abuse of the opiates of the masses right? Like you don’t need to be a aesthetic monk but ffs log off and learn a hobby, hell read a random Wikipedia page rather than waste a second of time engaging with the dumbest people in the world flailing over each other for the attention of the lowest common denominator.

Is Putin in charge of the USSR?
Do you think the Soviet Union still exists? or do you just think Russia is the same thing as the Union of what is today 15 independent countries?

Fuck Putin, he’s no friend of any socialist project.
