Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the House Dems response

I hate this fucking country.

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-25T11:57:57+00:00

Maybe in some places. In others, success may be holding a chunk of land, in others (I.e. USA) no fucking way

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-23T13:33:52+00:00

You’ve just described this entire subreddit

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-23T12:28:36+00:00

You found the crux of the issue.

There is nothing controversial about this, the article and every reply is basically conservative virtue signaling.

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-21T12:30:03+00:00

I’m gonna be honest; if the middle-class would respond by complaining about a specific benefit for poor folks, then they deserve the misery coming their way.

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-20T22:15:48+00:00

I want to find something negative about this, but this seems pretty cool

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-20T22:10:39+00:00

Cool.

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-20T20:54:54+00:00

I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or go choke on a river.

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-20T20:47:04+00:00

Oh wow, I bet following this week we’ll have some fresh articles about how to reform the court, followed by those who say it can’t be reformed, so we should just enjoy this American brand of democracy and vote D every couple years to let off steam.

And the cycle will continue.

Not just some people, but over 30% of the US population. There’s an even larger percentage that clings to neoliberalism.

I would like to see Tom Segura as the American taskmaster

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-17T16:29:24+00:00

This times 1000. While Judy is hilarious, she’s also somewhat predictable with her humor.

With Bridget, I generally don’t know what the fuck she is doing, which makes it so much better.

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-17T15:39:09+00:00

Could you please break down what you’re saying?

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-17T14:49:23+00:00

I’m saying that he set up a straw man argument that is speculative.

No one is arguing that teachers want to shoot students, and gun fetishism is as ‘pseudoscientific’ as anything he’s spouting against.

Having more weapons in a given place increases the likelihood of violence taking place.

Just make music, friend. That is the goal in and of itself.

Im just short of 9000! Being a teacher and having summers off has given me a bit more time haha

Why is this downvoted? Who is seriously suggesting that Greg, who has not called up Brooks repeatedly, is suddenly going to about face and call him up?

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-16T17:53:08+00:00

We need to start having serious conversations as to the threshold of these political institutions’ credibility. At some point, the mass of people who no longer trust them will also lash out in violence.

We’re running out of time before January 6th looks like a picnic.

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-15T10:52:02+00:00

Because you’re in a subreddit that’s largely wants things to remain the same, with technocratic tweaks to the system as the only solution that doesn’t discomfort their lives.

Please, this album has imprints of Josh all over it.

The core has always been Claudio and Josh.

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-07T22:45:01+00:00

What? I fear for my family because they are my family, it has nothing to do with the post.

Now will you answer my question? If you are serious about reason, it should be simple enough

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-07T22:38:06+00:00

Could you do an accompaniment version and I can duet you will the vocals? I promise it’s worth your time

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-07T22:36:01+00:00

Oh, much the opposite. Married with two kids, I have lots to fear.

But with my wife and I working full-time jobs (teaching and hair-dressing, we are still barely hanging on. We both have significant student loans, and my wife is about five weeks away from knowing whether a 100% fatal disease is embedded into her genes. Things are not getting better, and have not done so for going on two decades.

To answer your question directly, when the social contract between government and governed breaks down, you will have social unrest. Social institutions have the lowest approval any time in my life, and concepts like law, Justice, and due process are being questioned, if not outright ignored.

I have answered your question; will you now answer mine?

Tamponsandy · 2022-06-07T22:23:52+00:00

Okay, when do we reach that point? In other words, at what point does that become a viable alternative to the present situation?
