I seem to recall there being a spike when there were protests to reopen as well.

Saying that large gatherings such as the protests had 0 impact is kinda laughable TBH.

The impact was lower than even the optimists had hoped.

The protests are being used as a cover for the catastrophic policy failures of America’s leaders.

You really hold all 330 million Americans responsible for this poo poo? You think we're literally all the same? It's super lovely (and almost kinda racist?) to imagine us all as fat white Trump-loving dummies and hate us all accordingly. A lot of the people you're gleefully wishing misery and death on are poor people, queer people, people of color, people who realize our system sucks and are trying to change it right this minute, and so on and so on.

Like, sure, Death to America and all that, but just...I'm asking you to remember you're talking about actual individual human beings and when America dies it won't be just the bad Americans who are going to suffer and die with it.

Not that I disagree with you but, keep in mind all the times we've screwed over other countries like is happening to us now and no one cared about it, it was hardly even reported on. We killed about 200k Iraqi civilians, tortured a bunch of others and most of our leaders just shrugged and said well, it's worth the price who cares. We could have avoided those deaths just like we could have avoided our own casualties here, and we didn't.

It'd be nice if we (and by we, I mean the people in charge) were much less casual about letting humans suffer and die in general. That may be something good that we get out of this - more respect for how our actions have consequences and affect people's lives, or callously end them before their time.

I think most everyday Americans are rightly upset about how this is being handled, whether they admit it to themselves or not, even the chuds. It's our leadership and corrupted institutions writ large that are failing us, and the rest of world.

The protests to reopen did not wear masks. At all. The protests for BLM were almost all wearing masks, if not for the COVID but to keep out tear gas. Wearing a mask is the best way to mitigate when being around other people, especially if EVERYONE is wearing one.

Should I ponder this before or after I recall the drones striking Afghan weddings, the perpetual Cuban trade embargo, the recent deposition of Evo Morales by a right wing coup backed by the CIA, Vietnam, thirty years of drug war, the election AND incoming re-election of Donal Trump and whatever else America has caused?

It's kind of funny how Americans expect decorum from anyone at all while at the same dooming the world to an even longer pandemic brought in part by loving stupid political division in their country and of course all the antivaxx stuff guaranteed to happen if/when a vaccine is found, as if american tolerance and spread of all that pseudo-science bullshit wasn't their fault too. It's almost as funny as Americans wringing their hands and worrying about a vaccine quickly approved by their inept health organizations as if they were the only country in the entire world trying to develop one or guaranteed to find one.

even better trump endorsements for GOP election candidates looking like the kiss of death.

supposedly the party will break from him in September if he's not performing better, which makes sense, why lose the presidency and the majority if they can help it. the real question is how many more people die before November :(

America for years took a big poo poo on this or that country and it's people therein, of whom I guarantee you most were just trying not to get shat on. And, what's worse, Americans were only a little bit irked by that. If at all. They said: Just some peeps unlucky to be born there and not here.
And now, with that exact attitude leading to y'allselves taking head-first dive into a wall, you asking me to think of unlucky individuals in your country instead of having a hearty laugh about it? You at least gotta admit it's pretty funny, seriously.

For anywhere outside of the USA, sure. But in the USA it is 100% political to the absolute core. Everything that is happening right now, good or bad, is because of a political lean.

The no politics rule was dumb, you can't separate the two anymore. Most of the articles we post are based on what states are spiking due to politics over science. It's not like any of us in this country want to prolong this poo poo, even if some places are doing their best to appear otherwise

2 things, the protests I saw had everyone wearing masks, for multiple reasons. So I'm guessing the "protests-as-a-cause" thing falls on the selfish fucks, primarily in red states, who will kill us all. I kinda want them to suffer, but I know it hits POC /service workers the hardest...so :/.

Just going to point out to non-americans and those not in the know: this was all done to the US people and the world OUTSIDE of us being able to vote. Corporations being people? That wasn't put to a vote. Kennedy getting shot by the CIA? No vote for that either. War on drugs? We didn't vote for that. Politicizing abortion and turning the republican party insane? Again, no vote.

These are four core things that have pretty much ruined the United States and all were decisions made outside of elections. All have completely hosed over the US and the rest of the world as a result.

There is a sizable number of people in this country that are not happy with the state of things. You could say, "go out and vote" to change things. The problem is the system is completely rigged. It's one party pretending to be two who shut out everyone else.

If we had fair and honest elections, we could make incremental change. Maybe. But we don't even have that. As such, even when someone like Bernie has a huge amount of support and is still moderate, he gets screwed over by the corrupt system that doesn't want him. Things are completely hosed and not getting better any time soon.
