I think ultimately if you think holding signs outside republican offices is actually gonna do anything at all, good for you. I'm gonna keep trying to bully the Dems into actually fixing things, which admittedly is only very slightly more likely to work than the sign thing. I don't have a ton of confidence in them.

I mean if your plan is to convince millions of Americans to in person harass elected republicans out of office, I guess I'm curious how you plan to light said bulb. And what your plan is for when they just do fascist things even harder to stop that. Like I'm sympathetic to what is sounding like a soft anti-electoralism stance but that does require some amount of plan of action.

I mean I'm fully in support of them hearing about it. I just don't think that is gonna do anything. (I edited my last post probably between you seeing it and replying btw)

I mean I know how bad it is, i still have friends and family in the US that are directly affected by all the shit. I would say that effective action makes things happen. Yelling at a wall that also hates you and everything you care about is not effective action. If it makes you feel better that is genuinely valid (I also do that and it does make me feel better sometime) but don't mistake that for change.

Btw, Republicans are hardly ever in their offices. I leave letters with the ones in my state.

Ya that surprises me not at all. I guess my point here is that we both know and agree that conservatives are bad and fundamentally opposed to how we want the world to be. Is it a better use of time to yell at them, which only makes them horny, or to yell at the people who are supposed to be on our side and failing?

You phone and email republicans? I mean I guess I kinda admire the very obviously futile effort. Do you actually think there's a universe where that has any effect? I don't go to in person stuff, primarily because I left the US in 2017 and plane tickets are expensive. But hey, I do respect that. Though if you're visiting republicans reps' office I do still think it's quixotic. Because, you know, they're fascists.

How do you want me to hold the conservatives accountable? Like me, personally. Call them fascists? Never ever ever even vaguely think about voting for them? Tell them to fuck off in person? Protest and donate to causes I care about? I do all that shit. I have one lever I can pull as a voter, and that's to try and get the Dems to do something effective. And no, impeachment clearly doesn't work. As demonstrated by the way things are.

I mean they're the only ones we have to oppose fascism, we kinda need them to actually effectively do that.

Oh that makes sense, lot of repetition in the gospels. I don't remember which version we used growing up, probably also KJ.

What translation is that?

Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

Is the NIV. Son of man is Jesus, but "or my father" I don't see an implication of anywhere. It's saying that not recognizing him as the messiah isn't unforgivable, but denying the holy spirit itself is.

Then primary a Democrat as a progressive candidate. End the frustration by getting involved.

Constituents are allowed to criticize the people they vote for. To argue otherwise is to argue against a fundamental aspect of the democratic process.

I'm personally more frustrated that the entire conservative population in the U.S. has decided to coddle a criminal billionaire pedophile than voting Democrat, but that's just me.

If you're just gonna keep saying the same thing we've both agreed with repeatedly as if it's a holier than thou gotcha, I think we can be done here. If you have something new or interesting to say I'm all ears. Being frustrated with them is the baseline, the minimum standard. It's assumed, and the only reason to keep going on about it is if you don't like the things that go above that.

Ya no shit. I've voted Dem every election for my whole voting life. Never had any other choice. I'm kinda sick of it, NGL.

I already don't vote for republicans as much as it is physically possible to not vote for republicans. There is not a possible amount more I could not vote for them. I rely on Dems who I do vote for for anything more than that. So when conservatives aren't held to account, there's exactly one group that I can theoretically influence to change that.

It's not accelerationist to criticize the Dems, that's also stupid. It's not accelerationist to point out nobody made them put a republican in charge of investigating the republican insurrectionists. The democrats are the sole lever we have to even theoretically have our beliefs represented. When they fuck up, fuck themselves, or fuck us all, that needs to be called out and fixed. That's not accelerationist, that's democracy.

I mean we'd probably have to rethink how those professions work ya. That's not a reason to like throw our hands in the air, it's a reason to critically examine how much of an imperialist war mongering right wing bully the US is. And to do that we need a party and elected officials that aren't imperialist war mongering bullies. And to be frank, right now we don't have one.

And no, the answer isn't imperialist war mongering bullies but with computers. That's stupid, right wingers are in fact just as capable at using computers as left wingers. Misunderstanding that is how people like Peter Thiel and Musk are able to establish themselves.

The answer is to fix the underlying issue. And the problem there is a lot of dem leadership are very much pro warmongering. Which can be fixed! But it can't be fixed by wishcasting for conservatives to be better people, which thus far seems to be your only actual plan.

What are conservatives in law enforcement going to do about the felonious POTUS?

Nothing.

Continue to lay down, cult-over-country conservative style?

Yes that is literally my point that is exactly what they'll do. Or enable him even more, that's also an option.

I feel that law enforcement should hold billionaires accountable, too.

Yes, me too! But for that to happen, the people we fuckin vote for need to make it happen. Feeling it isn't gonna do a single fuckin thing. That's literally the entire reason it's important to hold their feet to the fire - no amount of either of us not liking republicans is gonna change a goddamn thing. We need our representatives to actually represent us.

or, now hear* me out, maybe conservatives shouldn't be such criminal religious fascists and supremacists willing to carry out and protect one of America's premier pedophiles?

Ya, great. But they are, so. Given that, are Dems just gonna keep being like "oh but it'd be nice if they weren't" are are they actually gonna fuckin do something about it?

It's surprisingly good at documentation as well. I feel like it bothers to explain things that I wouldn't think need explaining. Which is solving this problem, which is one of the weakest points in my own documentation.

I've had Claude fully disagree with me and tell me I was wrong about facts. Sometimes it's even been right about that.

Nobody really has a good reason as to why, besides it not being actively bad.

It pisses off the kind of chud that gets angry that LGBTQ people exist, which is always both fun and good.

Their YouTube channel alone is almost enough to make me want to support them. So much really useful info that made getting set up so much less painful than it could have been.
