This kind of poo poo really is a good example of the creeping, corrupting effect that violent culture has on people's thinking. The fact this guy thinks for a second that's plausible or realistic is the direct effect of him having watched every loving stupid action movie made in the last 15 years. Oh active shooter? Just go bullet time and run along the wall and split kick the gun out of his hand. Maybe you'll get shot in the shoulder but its fine

What do you think the Jim Crow south was like, which is literally in living memory? Cops killing unarmed black people isn't new, the visibility is. poo poo, the KKK almost literally took over the Indiana state government at one point. I mean the literally wearing costumes one. poo poo has always been hosed, you're just less sheltered from it now. The struggle to unfuck America has always been necessary. It's just harder to hide from it now.

I keep telling myself incremental change is going to work - voter rights laws, the felon enfranchisement in Florida - but I have a real hard time believing it sometimes.

My favorite talking point is the armed guard thing because shooting under stress is not in any way shape or form similar to qualifying at a range or target shooting.

It's worrying and I don't know where to talk about it or if I'm even supposed to talk about it. There is a political way out of our country. Start volunteering with your local political party and support progressive candidates. Right now, your vote is not enough to change things. What we need now is your time and within reason, your money. Spend it volunteering, canvassing, phone-banking, raising money for future and current campaigns, and support the DSA. State houses are especially vulnerable when candidates get a whole lot of volunteer support and donations because the federal machine just...doesn't spend on them. This week:
All of this was done politically. All of this was done through the hard work of everyday people who donated their time and money to make a change. There is a way out. It is to get up off our asses and getting in the trenches to fight the good fight. Trump is a wake-up call. He is what happens when citizens do not protect their democratic rights as citizens through vigilance and action. We bloodied the fascists this week, it is time to keep throwing punches. friendbot2000 fucked around with this message at 14:16 on Nov 8, 2018 |

Once again a “good guy with a gun “ ends up dead because who loving knew being in a god drat fire fight is hard? And my Facebook is full of ex-military (marines) friends who should know better and think “nah bro if there’s an active shooter I’m busting out my glock and going all tactical!” No, no your not. You’ll end up dead or getting someone else killed in the process because you are in a school/movie theater/club not patrolling Baghdad.

I mean he isn't wrong, if humanity had a hive mind and could coordinate movements in a way to suddenly and quickly smother a threat. except most humans are human and while one guy remembers this advice and runs at the gunman, getting his chest cavity blown out in the process, everyone else is already climbing out the windows.

Arist posted:Do you really believe whining about how it's never enough will? This isn't helpful dude. Hellblazer187 posted:Do you really believe the incremental back and forth will eventually defeat the fascists? Fascists can only be defeated if the other side stays perpetually vigilant and shining a light into where they hide. Fascism can only exist in the dark and they do not fight fair because, at its core, fascism is a cowards ideology. They only fight when it is 3 to 1. The mistake is to think that it can never happen here. The reality Americans are waking up to is that it can happen ANYWHERE. You just have to fight and keep fighting. This election was not incremental change either. This was huge changes across the board that will be felt into the coming decades. Take heart friend and take up arms against those that would step on your neck. (Arms in the sense of get active in local politics) If anyone wants to do something or get involved, your local union or state party office is a good place to start volunteering. friendbot2000 fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Nov 8, 2018 |

Hell, even better, just shoot the guy with your own gun since liberals and leftists should start arming themselves as suggested by Hellblazer187. Because who needs gun control when you can adopt a pro-gun, pro-life platform to entice rural voters?

This may have been shared already, but Maine will be going to instant runoff rounds with their new election system. It looks like there will be two runoff rounds, since the last place vote tally isn't enough to secure 50%. This is the future. If only anyone in either two major parties wanted this future and would move us in this direction. https://bangordailynews.com/2018/11/07/politics/maines-toss-up-2nd-district-appears-headed-to-a-ranked-choice-count/

In Italy they call this "armiamoci e partite", which is tough to translate in English as the subjects of each action is implied. Roughly: "Let's arm (ourselves) and (you guys) go fight" Also, Handel just conceded to McBath.
