  • It’s wild, an actual minister who dedicated his life to teaching compassion and empathy, evil. That really does tell me everything I need to know about them. I grew up on Mr. Roger’s, like others have said, the man was a Saint. They knew what they were saying was a lie. They’re propagandists, projecting again; they’re the evil ones.

    The original one? I still remember that little hand reaching out from under the bed to slice Jud Crandalls Achilles tendon. That and the scene where she’s forced to take care of her disabled sister fucked with me for years. Real disturbing stuff for some reason, 10/10.


  • I mean, fuck the DNC but there’s no viable 3rd party I can support this cycle.

    The left doesn’t even exist in the U.S. How many active leftwing PACs or direct action groups can you name? Now how many rightwing ones? I gave and worked phones for Bernie. We need serious election reform, I agree.

    I’m not some accelerationist who’s hoping for a Trump win that might spur on some collapse and eventual revolution. I’d prefer the non-violent revolution please and for now that means voting for Biden.


  • Yeah I remember. I remember a lot of steam for Bernie and then a disappointing turn out as well.

    Fuck Hillary but lets not pretend he was riding an overwhelming wave of support and a bunch of primaries were stolen from him. He consistently trailed her by like 30 points. I went to a couple of his rallies and donated so I remember, the fervor was nowhere near what MAGA has become right?

    Also, that info was leaked by “Guccifer,” a Russian asset, so I’d be wary basing too much on that.


  • It’s called being realistic my dude. If you want further left politicians and policies, organize and turn out the vote. If you don’t you get the most milquetoast people-pleasing centrist democrat ever because the DNC is trying to placate as many people as they can.

    Have you seen what the right wing has done over the last decade or so with the Tea Party morphing into the Freedom Caucus? There are right wing groups showing up to school board meetings and running for city councils all across the country. They’ve mobilized and are going out and taking what they want and now the formerly “mainstream” Republicans are completely beholden to them and afraid of being primaried in the next off-year election.

    The left needs to do the same thing over the next decade or two (or three), that’s the only way we can actually win long term.
