I’m aware of the avenues by which it could be legalized. I asked what Harris’ plan is. If she hasn’t released one yet, fine. She only just announced it. But I would like some specifics from her campaign at some point, because Biden’s efforts have been disappointing to everyone who considers Biden to be fallible.

Ok. What’s her plan?

I live in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. Everything is really spread out here and it’s one of the places in the US where you just need a car. Lots of people here commute and a lot of them get their news from radio while driving. People who have the radio on at work will often have it on a talk station.

We had an NPR affiliate, but that went away in 2019. The only people on terrestrial radio in this area talking about current events now are right wing grievance screaming. I’ve watched this region become more conservative during that time.

You literally just denied 2 claims of genocide.

Two false claims.

Netanyahu is committing genocide, regardless of how frequently you lie about it.

Do you believe Putin when he claims zionist Ukraine is committing genocide against russians in the donbas?

No.

Do you believe former KKK grand wizard David Duke when he claims zionists are committing genocide against white people in America?

Also no.

I really want to know.

I’d say I was glad to oblige, but I’m still talking to a genocide denier, so I’m not glad.

Humans domesticated wolves in this timeline. Imagine being in one of the dogless hellscapes.

I don’t know about anyone else, but comments like this make me want to use firearms terminology incorrectly on purpose.

The proliferation of competing mutually incompatible standards.

You act like it is the Democratic parties responsibility to inoculate against all the problems the Republicans created.

I mean, if they want young people to vote for them, yeah. Of course, given their actions they don’t want young people to vote for them.

The conservatives lost because the Democratic Party did their policies better than they could

I mean, that’s great if your only objective is to move to the right. And in centrists’ case, it is.

You really can’t fathom that treating young people with respect and listening to their concerns will keep them from falling for lies in the first place?

I guess courting anyone but decrepit old racist boomers is completely foreign to centrists, and it explains every last one of their policies.

And meanwhile, the message they get from Democrats is “fuck off you don’t vote.” Who are then surprised when they fuck off.

“We’re not going to listen to you because you don’t vote.”

“Wait! Why are you voting for someone we don’t like?”

“What do you mean, ‘we should have listened’? We didn’t listen because you don’t vote!”

Centrists are happy to have a cudgel to use against progressives, even if it means they have to support genocide to wield it.

Isn’t this just Reagan’s “Star Wars” program under a different name?

I mean, it is unexpected. Usually they want to change nothing when it doesn’t fit their agenda.

I’ll admit I’m wrong when it happens.

So I won’t have occasion to.

Like hell they will. Democrats won’t kill the thing that lets them call obstruction “incrementalism.”

Corporations are a fucking curse.

Yeah, but it’s something they don’t want to be confronted with, so…

Colin Powell died in 2021. What does he have to do with the contradictory reports you made up to claim that Blinken saw?
