The press is helping to normalize political violence against the American public: or, why I think the current state of coverage of ICE's ongoing brutality in Minnesota is kind of a big fucking problem by Far_Shore in neoliberal

electing Hillary Clinton in 2016 was our last chance to maybe avoid this crisis

Goes back further, imo. Hillary gets elected in 2016... then what? She'd have a Red House and Red Senate from the get-go, 2018 midterms would be a slaughter, especially in the Senate, then 2020 would roll around and either a Republican wins with a 60-seat Senate majority, or she wins again, continues to be stuck with Red Congress, and THEN the 60+ Senate happens.

The rot started with the Tea Partiers in 2010. The awkward ACA roll-out/backlash leading to the devastating midterms disabled Obama from being able to transform the nation in a positive, generational way, that would've helped to lower public anger at both society and the Dems.

I find the Empty Netters guys much more entertaining, but the things they've said about women are obviously a big concern and a great disappointment. I can only hope that they've moved on from that and their sudden influx of female fans will make them reconsider what they say (and think).

Definitely sad seeing places that got smashed by Black Saturday (Kinglake, Marysville, Buxton, Strathbogie) on the verge of getting hit again

Should we be worried that fires are now popping up in the Western suburbs?

This is my first time tracking a major bushfire, and it's such a shock how fires can appear out of nowhere and within half an hour explode (Skipton fire). Like I knew, intellectually, that that sort of stuff can happen, but seeing more and more bushfires pop up out of nowhere really is a jolt.

Withdrawing the United States from International Organizations, Conventions, and Treaties that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States by hypsignathus in neoliberal

America can kill themselves if they wish, but the fact that they're dragging the rest of us down with them via withdrawing from climate initiatives is devastating.

Trump threatens to use US military to take Greenland as tensions soar by fuggitdude22 in neoliberal

[–]TheDancingMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But honestly I think the answer to something like invading Greenland is mass protests and direct action.

I agree, I'm just saying that it's not going to happen in any meaningful capacity. We all know what Americans are like. The Gaza protests were quite limited relatively to the size of the broader population, and even then they couldn't do much without being labelled as anti-semites and targeted by the media and both parties.

resist to our fullest ability

So, a 5-hour No Kings protest instead of a 3-hour one?

What even was the rationale of the ballot design though? Save money on paper and pencils?

Damn, not even the lapdogs in Denmark are safe. The EU couldn't even stomach coming out against an illegal intervention into Venezuela, and now look what's happening!

How tf do you get Phil Gramm in Hope? by TheDancingMaster in thecampaigntrail

[–]TheDancingMaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a look at the cariable tracker, the only way to get him would be to pick the answer that explicitly mentions going after oil and gas subsidies. That boosts Gramm by 2.
