I almost wish I was in florida because I feel like joining this florida militia thing for a few months and then leaking the hilarity to propublica or buzzfeed would be a good time.

The klippe, fenster, (and nappe) are hard to explain without also explaining thrust faulting and defining allochthon and autochthon, but here's a picture:  Horst and graben are related to extensional faulting, where the crust spreads apart:

I note with some dismay that the diagrams used to prove this point say "window" instead of "fenster" But yes these foreign language geology terms are fun. I love that when it turns to glacial geomorphology, all the words turn French moulin, arete, cirque, roche moutonnee (sheepy-lookin rock lol)

I know I've seen multicam before but I guess the lighting is throwing me. I don't mind multicam, but I don't own any. Think the only camo I wear regularly is a pair of shorts that are patchwork and camo is like, 1/12th of the patterns. They're thrashed though, need to fix some gaping holes, but they're patch shorts so I can use whatever I have laying around. My ACU ALICE ruck is still my hiking pack though. E: and my extremely filthy dcu pattern patch hat that still sports the domestic cannabis eradication/suppression program 420 blaze it patch, which is also filthy.

Much further left and still did nothing to raise the federal minimum wage, codify abortion rights or pass any voter protection laws while in control of the government. Is the right undermining democracy? Yes. Is the Democratic party doing much to stop them? I can't answer that because I have been told I'm a doomer who doesn't appreciate lanyard culture therefore I'm not objective and realistic. Is there any argument for voting for the establishment Dems that get put up besides the other side is that much worse? We can do what we can locally but beyond that they're really, really not showing any will to change poo poo and being told it's a moral imperative to vote for them despite that because conservatives mega bad is just loving whack. I'm getting tired of punching the ticket for these people despite them being unable to change key policy points they run on while in charge. maffew buildings fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Dec 4, 2021 |

Too late anyway imo, I think the last chance was either the Dems to do something with this anti-trump wave or for another Trump term to shake them out of doing almost nothing. I’m hoping the upcoming disaster in 2022 and 2024 shakes them out of complacency and being de-facto enablers for the far right but I’m worried that ship already sailed without things getting unavoidably worse. I strongly regret voting for Biden at this point. He’s done nothing whatsoever domestically and just let the GOP strategy play out perfectly

The liberal culture (out here in urban CA at least) of attacking someone for saying that the establishment reps should do something more than the the band aid because the GOP is ghoulishly evil (NO poo poo), while you are still voting straight ticket Dem every time is exasperating and doesn't give me much hope for any cultural shift within the party as younger people come up.

The upcoming disasters in 2022 and 2024 will be unavoidable because the establishment Dems refuse to even try protect voter rights and whether or not it shakes them out of complacency is irrelevant because the GOP has secured one party rule for the foreseeable future through voter suppression, gerrymandering, and control of the judiciary. It's over and it's a shame nobody will at least smack Manchin and his enablers in the face with a shovel.

Yeah it’s just weird to see how obvious the GOP voter suppression, judicial takeover and opposition party strategy is and the Dems to just roll over and play right into it while whining about how AOC and Bernie voters almost cost them the election.

Cugel the Clever posted:The Dems are objectively much further to the left than they were in the 90s, they just keep putting up candidates that are on the centrist side of their internal spectrum. Biden's rhetoric and policy has been to the left of Obama on a swathe of issues. You're saying they're to the left because they put stuff in their websites and occasional speeches that they then don't do. This is because their voters are more left, or at least think they are, but their voters also so far are perfectly content to not actually get anything left. I do not care what is on Joe biden's website, and I was completely correct to assume he wouldn't actually want to do any of it. Actual policy that national democrats actually do is not more left. Clinton, right wing devil he is, tried to get universal healthcare going. We just had two presidential primaries about universal health care and it lost hard, both times, with the establishment now universally against it in all actual practice. Biden went so far as to say that if Congress actually passed Medicare for all, he'd veto it. The biggest part of the supposedly left BBB is a tax cut for the wealthy, while the vaunted pre k is all but designed to not actually be adopted. Your argument really is that what appears in rhetoric matters more than any reality. That's politics as fandom. The supposed mature politics understanders who predicted Joe would be FDR 2 have been completely owned on all their predictions, and that hasn't affected their world view at all, because they don't actually care about policy, they just like the soap opera.
