If anyone's looking into protesting upcoming Alt-Right rallies in their area and you want flags that haven't been co-opted by Neo-Nazis, you might want to look at flying Civil War era Union flags. The nation added several states over the course of the conflict and the flag was less defined in those days, so there are many different variations from the period. The 34-star circular flag is probably the most iconic, both as a symbol specific to the Union Army and something immediately distinct from a contemporary flag, which will probably be flown across from you alongside a Swastika without a hint of self-awareness.  The second most popular seems to be the 33-star flag from Fort Sumter.  These and others are all available cheaply on Amazon. Don't forget to learn your Union songs while you're at it! EDIT: Dog Tax

Cingulate posted:What's the lady in yellow's problem? Lady in yellow is super uncomfortable that the people arguing on her side are Duke and Spencer while people on Fox News, Romney, Bush(s), etc keep going against her. Its like "why are so many of the people I usually agree with disagreeing with me and why are the most vocal people agreeing with me racists or sounding like racists?" She's just unable to take the next logical step. Or she is and just turned on the waterworks when she saw she wasn't making any headway defending Trump. Which is actually what I believe happened.

^^^^ In the decade before the civil war, the south tried really loving hard to incite a rebellion in cuba and other parts of the caribbean to install a slavery-friendly puppet government, and/or just invade themselves. The writing was on the wall on their relationship with the north and the fight they had to keep slavery expanding west along with the union, so they looked south and southwest.mcmagic posted:Anyone running as a D is going to hire D's to run their administration.

I'm gonna hope and campaign and vote for the best candidate I can in the primary, but when 2020 rolls around, I'm going to vote for whoever the gently caress is on the Democratic ticket. Yes, I've had that conversation, "That's why they know they can nominate whoever whey want," etc., etc. I know this. But gently caress it. Any improvement is worth my vote, even an incremental one. I mean, I guess if the Democrats somehow nominate The Actual Reanimated Corpse of Hitler But He Swears He's Cool This Time I'll go ahead and sit this one out but speaking realistically, anyone they could nominate is going to be such an improvement over Trump it'll be hard to explain in words.

This would have placed death tolls in the hundred million plus range.

if mark zukerberg manages to get the democratic nomination it will be because the national party forgot to renew its party registration and he managed to put in the papers to take control of it and nominate himself that's the only situation he manages to get it

My only concern with Zuckerberg is some weird crowded field thing where he manages to secure some early states because the competition is split 40 ways. Much like Trump.

I mean, let's be real. Zuckerberg probably isn't running for president and even if he does, he probably won't win the Democratic nomination. His candidacy is already a laughingstock and I can't imagine he's going to somehow transform into a believable candidate between now and 2020 primary season. Maybe he'll run for the House or Senate or something, I'm down for that (I don't live in California so I couldn't vote for or against him either way). But if he did, he would be an immeasurable improvement over Trump and I would still vote for him. Because the Greens are probably going to wheel out Jill Stein again, and who are the Libertarians going to nominate? Johnson again? McAfee? None of those people have an actual shot at winning a presidential election, because even now, the Democratic Party has a much bigger national profile, much more entrenched support, and just everything required to mount a credible presidential campaign. Realistically-speaking, is it remotely possible someone could win the Democratic nomination who wouldn't be an improvement over Trump? Because I seriously doubt it.
