No but I've also never seen a non corrupt Democrat politician who isn't like 1 degree away from being just as bad as their Republican counterpart.

This is an incredibly idiotic argument. All American politicians are corrupt, by simple virtue of the fact that you can't get into office in without being beholden to various interests, especially after Citizens United etc. The sad fact is that no one who would be good at governing is interested because they're far too smart and/or principled to even try for office, and in a similar way to cops, the people who DO want to be politicians are exactly the people who shouldn't be allowed to be. Look at the way everyone fellated Obama (and people still do), even with his atrocious record of killing brown people overseas / deporting them here, because he was "the editor in chief of the Harvard Law Review" (though whenever people concentrated on that it always sounded like the dogwhistle of "he speaks so WELL!"). And to be clear, I voted twice for him because what the gently caress else were you going to do given our system. I just have no illusions that he was more than mediocre. Oh good, he managed to enact Newt Gingrich's health care plan from 1994. Great. Thanks Obama.

Until:
  • Citizens United is reversed to banish dark money from politics
  • ranked-choice voting becomes the norm
  • mandatory voting laws are enacted
  • voting days are moved to Saturdays or become federal holidays
  • the VRA is given teeth again
  • the filibuster is abolished
  • the electoral college is destroyed
You're not gonna see an American politician or president who isn't corrupt. But how we get there from here....I'm not holding my breath. The most we can hope for at this point is to prevent Moron Hitler from coming back and maybe deprogram some of the idiots he radicalized.

Never noticed this good gun protocol from that dude before. Cops and security are taught to hold your non gunnin' hand against their chest when drawing to keep from accidentally shooting themselves, which I guess happens fairly often otherwise.


You keep your hand there since as you draw you want to bring the gun up parallel to your body and as you clear the holster your non dominate hand is in a place to establish a solid grip faster. I generally begin to rotate the barrel towardy target as soon as the weapon clears the holster and will have my support hand on it around the same time.

You actually see that position if someone is wounded in that arm, the body tends to pull a wounded arm in and when you train to shoot with one hand you are told to place your arm in that position to replicate that.

The conversation was about progressives and conservatives, not conservatives and fascists.

The schadenfreude is on Americans for being convinced that authoritarianism is just old-timey religious thinking, and that what the rest of the world considers to be extremely conservative policy-making is somehow far-left anarchist collectivism, despite not actually espousing any left-leaning values.

Yeah, that’s why a lot of people, especially under the age of 125, don’t support conservatives.

Basically everyone I work with is conservative. They feel the same way about their candidates as most of us feel about Democrats. They don’t agree with every stupid thing their side spouts, but they’d rather have less government than more so they’re stuck voting Republican and just choose the least worst option.

This Us vs Them stuff only seems to exists with the insanely online or old people. The rest of us can have a drink with someone who doesn’t share all our political views without getting twisted up.

I’ll take my dog-piling off the air thanks

Metafilter is extremely insular and has gotten much more liberal over the years. The sites that banned pro-Trump groups a couple years ago are pretty insular too
