Platystemon posted:There’s a spectrum. It's not about not knowing right from wrong. It's about impulse control, decision making, and the ability to actually realize consequences (which is not the same as being able to state them). A 15 year old is not an adult and does not think like an adult or make rational decisions like an adult. I'm not willing to write an actual literal child off as a hopeless case and "garbage."

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Because nothing succeeds like just giving up. Its how we beat fascism the first time, after all. The Democrats have given up trying to even get themselves re-elected, why should anyone loving phone bank for them to do anything? Find a group that actually fights, maybe one that can force some action out of the Democrats. Supporting the actual party apparatus is like giving up, but also setting your money on fire at the same time.

BIG HEADLINE posted:No, the current split in the Senate is 48D/50R/2O. Manchin and Sinema belong to the Opportunists, a new political party that will be with us in perpetuity until everything burns. It won't be them forever, but rest assured people will follow their example. New? Joe Lieberman's name ring any bells? There are a lot of good Democrats. I gave money and voted so that one of them (Cori Bush) is now in Congress. But there are, and always have been, enough lovely Democrats who will stop everything up because they don't give a poo poo about anything but their portfolio and/or face on the news. And there will be until everything burns because to get power you need money so the Democratic Party as an institution is controlled by these sort of people. Best Friends posted:There's always a list of reasons why democrats can't do the things they "really want" to do when they're in power. Strangely, republicans stuffer few of those same constraints when they have their turns in power. To be fair, the Republicans took as long to pass their one constant wish , tax cuts for the rich, as the Democrats just took to pass an infrastructure bill. And they never were able to repeal the ACA. They have these problems, too.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted: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. 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.

Defenestrategy posted:I mean that's all assuming that amount of time exists at this point to allow the democrats to stop being feckless, reverse republicans loving up poo poo, and improve the collective welfare, before poo poo is just irreparable. I as a 30 year old computer toucher can hangout for another 38 years until death takes me. Theoretical kids, nephews, and nieces may not have that luxury, and the generation after that probably has no hope. You're more optimistic than I am. I'm starting to think that somewhere between 2020 and 2030 is where future historians will draw the line for "the collapse of American liberal democracy."

bird food bathtub posted:This, gerrymandering, putting loyalists in key positions. Jan 6th was a practice run. They saw what stopped them and now they're fixing that. There won't be another election in this country again, and the supreme court will say it's legal. There are still elections in Russia. Ours will become about that valid but they will still happen because it will "prove" that we're still a democracy.

Which wouldn't be a big deal if the antivax morons weren't so numerous. e: Marshal Prolapse posted:Also Pfizer just announced that their vaccine in two dose didn't provide enough of an immunity reaction in their under 5 year old trials.
