SocketWrench posted:Goddamn, shut up. We put up with Nic Cage/movie/turd shower stuff, shut up. Dems bad, we get it I really don't understand this violent emotional reaction to what are really mundane, boring, and very obvious facts. The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 passed the senate with unanimous consent, that is just what happened. We could just acknowledge it and move on, Democrats consented to the bill Republicans designed to destroy the post office, and now we're staring down the barrel of what that means. That is just what happened. But apparently we can't, there's just this interminable tantrum about acknowledging some simple facts about what happened and why, we want so much for this fantasy about valiant Democratic resistance to be true, even though it is patently false, All you have to do is stop quoting me pointing out these facts, and the subject will be dropped, but yall can't do it, you just have to go down swinging with denials. It's incredible to see.

Fallom posted:That was a fast transition to "Well actually, Bernie was always a loser." Same happened in 2016. Bernie loving his country and working to make it better even when it's not by his first choice is the only thing about him some of his followers can't accept. Don't worry, some of them will be back demanding that the superdelegates and/or Electoral College coronate him anyway. If only.

I don't understand what you mean The 2001 AUMF was a war crime, at least by the standards we applied at Nuremberg anyway. That really isn't debatable. So unless you're arguing we were too hard on the Nazi officials charged with starting unprovoked wars of aggression, I'm not really sure what your objection is to what I said.

Munkeymon posted:Irrelevant because of what I pointed out. Munkeymon posted:No, you haven't shown as much. There are three possibilities here: 1 and 2 are effectively the same, there's no real moral distinction between voting for a bad bill because you want it to happen versus voting for a bad bill randomly because you don't care. Disorganization is ruled out because the bill passed the senate with unanimous consent. None of this bizarre quibbling changes the facts, you're just playing games, the same kind of deliberate obtuseness Republicans resort to defend poo poo Trump says and does "oh but you can't look into his heart so who can say if his intentions were good or bad". Who cares, I care about results.

Dapper_Swindler posted:so what is the best candidate than? I'm not really sure how much sense that question makes because I don't believe in the Great Man theory of history. The history of political change is the history of mass movements. Candidates don't just drop out of the sky and change everything, they're a product of social forces. Americans place roughly zero value on foreign lives, meanwhile very powerful elements in our society make a ton of money off murdering foreigners, therefore the path of least resistance is for nearly all our politicians to be mass murderers and war criminals, and nearly all of our elections a contest between more or less odious killers (or often, between more and more odious killers). That won't change until Americans' values change. No politician is going to somehow make us care about dead Arabs. But I think you're asking me how I personally will vote, so this belief of mine is probably why I will end up voting for the Democrat (even though I live in a red state and my vote mathematically does not matter), because as neoliberal policy has destroyed the middle class along with our manufacturing base, and has immiserated the working class, labor organization and activism is on the rise, and the Democratic Party is (due their history and makeup) more susceptible to influence from labor unions than are the Republicans.

We are all born of original sin? What's the point? OK I don't see how we disagree. We agree that the 2001 AUMF is an indefensible war crime. The inescapable conclusion then is everyone who voted for it is a war criminal. Yes, this is nearly all of our politicians who were in office at the time. If it makes you incredulous that our entire political class is composed of war criminals, I'm not sure why. America commits unbelievable amounts of war crimes and slaughter regardless of who is in office (obviously, more crimes and more flagrant crimes under Republicans), how could we commit that many crimes without a political class of unrepentant war criminals?

paternity suitor posted:Hell yeah, pass that poo poo man, that’s the good stuff, the brain damage stuff So where does the Biden campaign produce voter confidence and enthusiasm for their candidate? There isn't any. And this will affect the ballot all the way to to bottom. Meanwhile the other side is more enthusiastic and motivated than ever before. The pandemic is DESTROYING Democrats all over. All of these Democrat governors passing Stay-at-home orders will find themselves out of office very quickly, either by voting, resigning or outright removal.

https://twitter.com/jakesherman/status/1249793158310920197?s=21 They’re just loving dissolving themselves in the middle of a major crisis. So Trump is basically an absolute monarch now just from the lack of any other standing federal institution? FuturePastNow posted:At the risk of being reminded that we haven't had a mattering yet, if the USPS shuts down that might be the first thing that causes our senior citizen citizenry to realize they've been hosed over. Fox News can tell them anything it wants, that's not going to hide the fact that the mail's stopped coming and going. It'll gently caress over every small business (still in) existence, too. Fox News will tell them that the post office was actually always bad because NEVER MADE A PROFIT and GOVERNMENT PENSIONS and SOMETIMES THEY WERE LATE. The old viewers will accept every word of it. When anyone tries to tell them anything good about the USPS they will dismiss it as liberal mainstream media propaganda. And that will be the end of it. America’s domestic propaganda works on enough people to eternally prevent any and all mattering.
