I mean, is it really humanity though? Life in the Imperium of Man is misery on a scale incomprehensible to our human minds. Ritualistic self-sacrifice is seen as preferable to existence. They survive because they became the monsters.

Harris could have won, she just needed to throw Biden under the bus like he deserves. Her written platform is honestly fine, I think she could have run a progressive campaign of change, but instead she chose to run on upholding the staus quo. Maybe she wasn’t given the choice by the DNC.

“Really well run” seems like a bit of an exaggeration when people were doing vote-swaps in swing states with liberals who didn’t want to vote for her.

Look as bad as today is, I’ve gotten some amount of chuckles imagining my potential role in the future of underground furry porn trading, so thank you.

Yeah, but might as well have him in a cell for those months than free. What else are the courts going to do until January.

Then don’t. Fighting for hope is overrated anyway. Fight because you’re angry. Fight because of what they took from you. Fight because this isn’t okay, no matter what anyone tells you. Fight because you don’t want to let it ever happen again.

Just don’t stop fighting. Don’t give up.

Hey, I really like the sound of the eightfold path. Is there any Buddhist literature you would recommend? It might be really nice right now.

I’m 50/50 on this.

On the one hand, clearly Vance will be worse than Trump on many key issues. The man is significantly more intelligent, low bar, and has a higher potential for harm.

However, I do not see a world where Republicans crown Vance president for life. I don’t think he’s charismatic enough, I don’t think he’s liked enough. I think if Trump falls, trying to get that seat will lead to a lot of infighting.

So even if it would be worse for the short-term, I think Trump dying before they install him as president for life is the only way the U.S. can have future elections. Because once the dictatorship is established, Vance can slot in as a successor, but they won’t establish it with him.

However, he can’t be assassinated. That would make him a martyr, and then Vance will be able to be installed in order to “secure the peace” or w/e bullshit they make up. Have to pray that McDonalds can take him out.

They needed to course correct 8 years ago. They may never get another chance now.

Maybe your left, I think the global left is trying to offer a lot more than that. Don’t conflate Dems with useful politicians.
