I'm pretty disappointed not to see this getting more traction here (maybe I've just missed other, more liked posts). On the birdsite, I followed David Pepper who masterfully explains why STATEHOUSES are really where the battle for our democracy lies. Purple states are nearly gone - there's a REASON.

And this, I'd say after moving abroad and seeing how some Americans adjust to waiting (or not), is a core component of American exceptionalism, particularly white Americans. I, personally, hesitate to call them republican, but they sure are helping them. Fascism is here, THAT'S the choice.

Good morning.
If your contribution to any discussion is to complain about the Democrats in a 2-party system,
You are a Republican.

Those who say things are moving “too slow”,
Have never had to participate in the judicial system.
Have never had to wait for justice.

Have never had to WAIT.

Yesterday the Washington Post and ABC got caught conducting and releasing a fake poll that included people not even registered or likely to vote. In response to this major scandal, every other major news outlet repeated that fake poll as if it were true. Fuck the media.

Authoritarianism employs many tactics, primary of which is sowing chaos, fear, anxiety & uncertainty. It's been a long game for the GOP.

US Federal Government employees filed suit claiming that the 1917 debt limit law violates the U.S. Constitution's separation of powers because it forces the president in the event of a default to cut spending already authorized by Congress.

By Daniel Wiessner (Reuters) - A union for U.S. federal government employees filed a lawsuit on Monday claiming a law setting a $31.4 trillion debt ceiling is unconstitutional as political leaders seek to avoid a historic default expected as soon as next month.

Just wondering how long it takes before you quit wondering when the folks you used to follow will finally leave or at least post elsewhere AS MUCH or *kinda* close? Wish I didn't feel like they're helping keep the hobbled up, racist place together, but what do I know.

Something to think about.
Hear me out. When I was on fb before the election & 1/6, I came across Cons I didn't see eye to 👀 w/, but there wasn't ANYWHERE NEAR the vitriol IN the disagreements & sometimes it felt like they heard me. Politics has gotten worse since, but this is worth considering imo.

RA @intheweeds

If you think Spoutible is a political echo chamber, have you considered that the tone here may actually be reflecting what real people think when social media isn't overrun by paid trolls, bots, and hatemongers?

Well, Elon Musk & his band of degenerates decided that using a person's OWN Twitter handle "violates TOS", because "redneck" is a protected class of people ofc. Frankly, I needed the push to leave a place that's beyond toxic, beyond anything that SHOULD be acceptable to ANY ADVERTISER, ANY NEWS ORG.

The carnage Americans live w/ day in and day out has become so commonplace and normalized they don't even really realize how peaceful life is when you're not living in it 24/7.

I moved abroad around 8 years ago and I NEVER worry about someone shooting me dead in a MALL w/ an AR-style weapon of war.

JFC. This is all part of the hate that Abbott, Cruz, Patrick and Fox spew every day about the threat of shoeless mothers, fathers, grandparents and children escaping fro south of the border.

"They sure didn’t like me calling them on it," Biden said. "Look, a lot of Republicans, their dream is to cut Social Security and Medicare. Well, let me just say this. It’s your dream, but I'm gonna with my veto pen make it a nightmare."

Excellent political maneuvering here. Well done, sir! 👏👏

I'm just saying that it doesn't matter whether we point out their hypocrisy. The fact they've literally DONE nothing to HELP the American people is on record and their voters don't give a crap. When you've been fed hate and lies for decades, there's no amount of receipts that'll swing the pendulum.

Here's the thing, if YOU believe it's the "only" way, fine and well, but don't be TELLING people what they should believe like you have all the answers. It's called faith because there's no proof and the entire point is supposed to be about free will, so give it a rest y'all.
