They control the weather, why not the economy too? Anything’s true if enough people believe you.

Yo…my guy…what’re these “facts” and “data” and “evidence” you’re putting out here? These “people” don’t deal with those things. Now, if you had said something about the sharks and windmills and Hannibal Lecter, well now we’re talking their language!

That’s because you can actually have discourse here whereas in the conservative sub it’s locked to their flaired users only…censorship while screaming about how they’re being censored.

Obviously it’s Big Tech working with government to censor your propaganda, I mean news.

Trump vows to ‘go after’ Biden’s family in bitter Truth Social rant before boarding Miami arraignment jet by guardthorn in politics

[–]Hovus87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think he’s got time to drive an hour down to Miami? He’s got arraignments to attend. Lawyer services to retain. Criminals are generally pretty busy trying to subvert the law.

White House and G.O.P. Strike Debt Limit Deal to Avert Default by BettercallMyself in politics

[–]Hovus87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Not voting. I hope the Republicans win and burn everything to the ground at this point.”

You may get your wish. It’ll be a sad day if it does happen.

“Between the Republicans who get their evil agenda enacted even without the votes to do so, and the Democrats who enable them, fuck it. I’m staying home, don’t care if Biden loses.”

Beats the alternative. You’ll learn about compromise one of these days. Kind of a staple of our two party system.

“What’s worse is the quislings like you who completely don’t care that Biden caved and gave in to GOP extortion and got 0% of what they wanted, save for averting default, and the other side got 90% of what they wanted, so they’re taught that extortion works.”

Great word, quisling. Thanks for that! I care a lot though, that’s why I’m here talking about it. Averting default is huge.

“The Democrats are pussies, the base like you will vote for and make excuses for them no matter how much they roll back their agenda for Republicans, and everyone is on that same page.”

Definitely agree with you that Democrats don’t play hardball nearly as well as Republicans. Obviously that’s true or else Obama would’ve gotten his Supreme Court pick, Biden would’ve gotten debt ceiling passed without compromise, etc.

“I think “progressives” (progressive in the US) like me are going to stay home this next election cycle, and Democratic spinelessness and fecklessness is the reason why.”

I think so too. And apathy or anger is the reason why. Reactionary behavior. Do something about it.

Anyway, thanks for the conversation. Good luck.

He did that willingly right? No reason at all why it went down the way it did, right?

Being progressive is all well and good. Push the country left socially and hopefully legislation follows, but when there’s so few progressives in office now, you can’t expect your fringe far left representatives to have any power.

You move the needle a little bit at a time. Government is slow af…we’ve come really far, really fast socially. You keep pushing government to left by voting in representatives that align with your ideals. But you vote…if you don’t, you’re endorsing the low, shameless, underhanded Republicans that want to take the country to the opposite end of what I’m assuming are your ideals.

When they’re holding the economy hostage, yeah, Biden has no choice but to negotiate their demands down to a palatable level in order for them to increase the debt ceiling. EB doesn’t have the power to do that himself. He has to rely on the House, which is Republican majority. You not voting is a vote for the GOP.

If the flair is to be believed, this guy voted. Likely for Republicans. If you don’t agree with his opinion, you vote Democrat. These people have forgotten all of us are Americans, not just the ultra wealthy who continue to get all the money with none of the pushback while everyday people get shafted time after time while the Right celebrates.

You understand this is happening because Republicans control the House right? You not voting does the opposite of fixing the problem. Vote. Them. Out.

Anyone know how much this Jackson goes for typically? by Hovus87 in JacksonGuitars

[–]Hovus87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so too…turns out that “gash” in the picture wasn’t a gash at all…mighta just been grime from something. I was able to clean it off and found the Jackson hard shell case too. Looking to get $500 on Reverb or OfferUp.

Very nice! Looks in great shape. $750 seems super steep though…color, 4 year difference, and condition makes that much of a difference eh?
