Don't... don't do that.

Do not shake hands with people who are really sick.

Even if you wash your hands it's no guarantee.

I can't believe that's something that has to be said.

Voter suppression in America is wild. Communities with high poverty and minority voters are forced to wait for hours because the government actively closes down places to vote and holds back voting machines. Like, actively making sure there's warehouses of voting machines going unused. For the explicit purpose of disenfranchising anyone who might vote to improve the lives of the poor. They even admit that's why they do it.

The Question IRL posted:

Prestwick airport. Man that takes me back. When I travelled to Scotland I always uses to fly into Glasgow Prestwick. Ryanair stopped doing flights there around 2014/2015.

I think they were mostly using it for flying cargo, but I believe there was a air route to Poland that still flew through there. It was a grand little airport.

In other news Priti Patel is facing quite a large number of bullying allegations.

https://jrnl.ie/5032300

I am sure that if it was a criminal case where an accused had faced this many allegations, Patel would have already decided their guilt. And tried to push for the death penalty.

But since this is just workplace bullying, it's not a real thing and all the people making up these allegations are just doing it because they couldn't hack working with her. Or something.

Biden cruised 9 states barely campaigning in them. He struggles to string a coherent sentence together, a shoe in for the democratic nominee.

Biden got a big boost from everyone dropping out and endorsing him last minute before Super Tuesday. There's also a lot of anecdotal evidence that while Bernie did get a lot of first time voters into the booths the older ones shat themselves and reverted to electablity at the last minute.

The Democrats shot their load with this and they're basically neck and neck. The longer melting Brain Joe is in the spotlight the worse he will do. Its going to be a drag out brawl rather than a clean win but Bernie still has a better chance than a socialist has ever had in America.

It's going to come down to Manufactured consent Vs observable reality again.

I would be shocked if Bernie wins from this point

the DNC would much rather have Biden lose to Trump than Bernie win, they're going to spend the whole rest of the campaign going full-on scorched earth on him

I reckon Biden wins on super delegates, gets utterly slaughtered by Trump and we hear nothing but "the left got us Trump AGAIN".

That or Bernie wins flat out and we get the full Corbyn character assassination and people making "principled" resignations.

Can't believe we lost this absolute champion of the movement. Being told you're no longer welcome to come and make a speech because of your role illegally deporting people based on the colour of their skin is anti democratic.

Loving the brazen way the Conservatives have transitioned to "It's rude to point out that my white power tattoo is racist" arguments. Wish it wouldn't work.

Cool, cool. So with the emphasis on kinder, gentler politics, everybody will come out and loudly condemn her, right?


Cool, cool. So we're now changing health policy in response to public outcry, not on scientific evidence? (Obviously this is the right decision, but clearly made for the wrong reasons)

The scientific evidence they're following is "Once 40 million people are infected and hundreds of thousands die, we will be immune". There's no guarantee that it'll produce that effect ether since there's been cases of repeat infection.

It's Skynet "Must end war, end war by killing all Humans" insanity. It turns out that appointing people based on politics and posh cunts failing upwards has produced a layer of absolute sociopaths at the top end of the poo poo trifle.

It's terrifying. Actually terrifying. I had all the lymph nodes on the left hand side of me cut out to fight cancer, which seemed like a good idea at the time. I get an infection and it spreads to the left of me I could die. And so far that's the government's plan.

And the press are all for it! Like actively going "Oh you know better than the Government? I thought we were supposed to listen to experts". Pure smug condescension at the idea that the Tory party might be wrong. They're literally willing to let us all die for the sake of making sure there's never a left wing government.

If the government is really going to kill off huge swathes of the elderly population and the elderly are happy about it then I just don't know what to think. Dying from a virus to spite millenials and their avocados I guess.


OwlFancier posted:

Interesting though that it continues to correlate pretty well with "people who use the internet and thus experience the world outside of the television"

Traditional Press are all falling in line behind the Government's plan to let 60% of the population get infected and all the talking heads are laughing and guffawing at the idea that the government could be wrong or choosing a sociopathic option. So the people who rely on traditional media are falling in line.

Once the reality hits and that the elderly home owners are included in the 60% and it's not just getting everyone under 65 sick and protecting them they'll soon change their tune/never change their tune because the Media told them not to.

Just did my sainsburys run. Not many youths out and about but the place was absolutely loving packed with old people merrily going about their business. I did a 'keep-one-metre-away-from-them-at-all-times-so-I-don't-kill-nana' dance and had my mask on, but honestly I'm not sure why I bothered, they must all have a loving death wish

They're loving Dodo's. Never been challenged in their lives, everything handed to them and then they tore that post war consensuses up to make their bedding. If anything is a warning against socialism it's not the typical screeching about Venezuela. It's the generation that was given more opportunity and safety than any generation before or after through the fighting and deaths of the millions of working class people before them who immediately spun around, said "gently caress you, Got mine" and sold it all off to buy and sell their council house and move to Spain.
