Welcome, cursed voter. There is nothing for you here. Not healthcare, not wages. Not even a planet. Just wastes as far as you can see. You must search these blasted lands, climb the great staircase at the top of capitol hill, and vote for Joe Biden. Here, take this. You may find it keeps you sane. And who couldn't use a little sanity, now and then?

also i looked at that thread and every other post is just people screaming "NICE WHATABOUTISM" and then the mod probs a "genocide denier" for doing the whataboutism

"I don't put much stock in that source, it and others like it have a long history of lying about exactly this kinda thing and it provides no evidence deeper than some unverified rumors."

There was a report that said that Toyota was the "number one contributor to Republicans that refused to certify the 2020 election"

There's two problems with that Clymer tweet:

1. It's not going to be possible to buy a car from a manufacturer that did not contribute to Republicans. At most, you can walk it back to "Republicans who all voted to certify the election", maybe, or just "the smallest contributor to Republicans that refused to certify the election"

2. More importantly, talking about buying a new car, and specifically being able to tailor your car selection to this niche political story, is extremely not relatable. How many loving Americans can't afford a car?

ah but for 2, everyone who can't afford a car doesn't matter

I do not think that we're in danger of entering a "cold war 2.0" with China that will be a repeat of the first cold war with the USSR. Different ideology, different history, different regional and global ambitions, etc.

I actually see the value in the argument that Biden is making, that we're heading into the 21st century at a crossroads between democracy and authoritarianism, and that we need to prove that democracy is the better model. If that type of framing, that type of competition, gets us to reinvest in things that we have neglected for decades like education and manufacturing and building back a middle class then I'm for it.

It's always funny when people act like Biden is actually seriously thinking about these issues instead of just rambling some pablum.

However most importantly the evidence is coming from the US, the US didn't fabricate the evidence, it didn't set people up to misconstrue any information, there are plenty of international orgs, plus Chinese government documentation, and imagery taken from literally space that all collaborates this information and it isn't the United States that's the origin of this information.

It's funny how there's basically this endless chain of people all absolutely certain that a bunch of evidence exists. Sure, they don't know what it is off the top of their head, but it's obviously true! So many people wouldn't be saying it's true if it wasn't!

source your quotes, whatever, but if you need ideological competition framed as an existential threat in order to motivate your political system to give a poo poo about people's welfare, that's just an admission of fascism

that poo poo’s probably made up and the coup attempt was something sort of real, it’s just something with considerable foreknowledge that was just allowed to happen so they would have a reason to rename half the bridges in the country after that day and the fools that they got killed.

authoritarianism is the only way humanity will survive the 21st century, syq op. only question is if it'll be a socialist one or a fascist one

basically every democracy the world around is collapsing because none of them can act to crisis properly, and we all know what happens with capitalism in decay

I kinda think it's brilliant as is.

Dems lay a perfect trap.

Republicans fall for it.

Republicans don't even figure it out until it's spelled out to them.

Knowing doesn't make their position any less weak.

they flinch, revealing their weakness
