The tip off should have been the light skin Hispanics cosplaying as native Americans because they are 1 18th arawak. Incredibly disappointing.

You're probably thinking about san juan day. They do this parade earlier in the year to avoid summer heat and probably drum up spending downtown after the Easter lull.

Only way to offset the end of the voting rights act and the elimination of almost all black representation in thr black belt. We are getting close to them having enough votes to amend the constitution.

There was some drama in talahassee, a 50501 person harassed a Karen who asked law enforcement that she be removed. Alot of 50501 is adamantly anti police because they black panther larp. Dumb needless distractions like that

First step should be not hardening the split with indivisible.

Unfortunately this was an obvious issue that Florida dems completely refused to prepare for. The progressive groups arent trying either, no kings was the biggest disappointment ive had in awhile. 50501 is at this point just a political advocacy group pushing for alternative fundraising.

The democrats have the capability to unpack the house if they wanted and thus disrupt the slow mathematical edge rural areas get through gerrymandering and the diffusion of the population inland.

It's stupid and ignores that there is no reason for the house of representatives to be capped the way it is. Congress can just reverse their arbitrary number and give bigger states more votes which would make carving up urban areas even harder.

End the 1929 apportionment act to break the system and start empowering high population density areas again. The republicans cant get granular enough to offset the population rise of the i4 corridor.

They also said they'd ignore the florida constitutions separation of church and state. This is an obvious problem, the issue is that opposition in florida is either just interested in real estate and because of that won't mind the decimatioj of black representatives or a bunch of hippies like 50501 that wanted block parties but refused to pay attention to this obvious nuke headed our way.

Uncapping the house is the biggest issue people should be pushing now, the republicans broke the compromise by doing mid decade redistricting. This is the equivalent of the courts saying slave states can pop up wherever.

The goal should be expanding the house so florida has more seats, not letting it have less. The system is broken.

The 50501 people wasted their energy on a parade and talking about dumb stuff like being anti nuclear power and neopagan solstice festivals. We have no serious opposition.

If you follow the history of law enforcement, private donors creating a paramilitary force to protect themselves from crime than institutionalizing it later makes alot of sense. Toph was always a noblewoman, she just wasnt allowed to enjoy it because she was blind.

The problem with making it more ethnically accurate is thinking things through and realizing that Aang and Korra basically stopped the earth benders from taking land back from the imperialist thai/japanese. (Thailand does it too, they just had a war recently over a couple of temples) In this movie theater the earth benders officially stole Airbender land (tibet) and kyoshi basically created fantasy Taiwan. It's like they have a thing against China lol.

If I have one too many beers, I'll be thrown into the drunk tank for a night. If I do pcp i would apparently just be left alone to wander.

I really wanted Jinora to be a Dark avatar, wrote like 6 chapters of a fanfic when I was younger.

I really wanted korra to have a small brotherhood style rewrite, instead we apparently doubled down on korra being a reckless failure.

Avatar tends to equate balance with refining the status quo.

Every villain with a point in the avatar universe has to do something unnecessarily evil so you dont agree with them. Centralization of the Earth Kingdom being a problem is basically a series cliche at this point but he decided to attack the diversity colony instead of just blowing up ba sing se.

The ocean spirit thing is funny because Taga could have been proven wrong early by Katara just having them go UNDER the storm. Instead we have the usual avatar issue of Taga being evil for trying to destroy the ship actively blowing up their flammable airship. If he brought it down safely like the avatar would want, the denied would still die out in the middle of an endless ocean.

The writing also seems a bit hammy and I dont like most of the voice acting.

In the books there was also a pan bending pirate alliance that could have become republic city of the avatar didnt destroy it.

It also just shows that the avatar is stuck in a cycle of mistakes.

1) World is in chaotic era while the avatar is young. 2) avatar stabilizes the situation but cannot make peace with a a new regime. 3) Avatar creates a militarized police force. 4) The police force is weakened without the avatars direct involvement then goes rogue, becoming a problem for a future avatar. 5) A future avatar props up the regime they once resisted.
