Democracy won’t survive a Trump presidency. The christofascist ideology may not survive a Harris presidency, or at least remain as strong as it is today. I wish everyone that wants to live under authoritarianism would just move somewhere else. There are a lot of choices to choose from.
Well most people don’t see the problem of having billionaires owning everything all over the place. So if we can have (even more) substantial evidence that they’re harmful, it’s always good to take.
I would too, they are not my first pick, but saying a source isn’t credible is a big accusation. Idk I’m probably overthinking it. When I think of not credible I think of Tucker Carlson, Fox News, Breitbart. Truly lying sources.
Appreciate it. Unfortunately I know myself and sometimes I come off incredibly strong/hostile or I am too charitable with not a whole lot of in between. But I am really, really trying hard to take a step back these days and assess things with a little cooler head.
after the fox news docs were released in the dominion lawsuit where all the anchors knew they were lying but they did it because they feared losing watchers to newsmax should be a lesson in how the audience (and modern conservatives in particular) affects the market and how having a conspiratorial fan base will necessarily result in a credibility spiral.
Honestly it should be called the “Fox Newsmax” effect, or something. So its like, yes, the national review is probably in a similar spiral.
“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.”
Is the only response Graham gets for the rest of his life
If you could somehow get money out of politics this would be slightly less of a problem. But that obviously can’t happen… until money is taken out of politics.
If I had wheels I’d be a wagon. There are certainly ways to limit the influence of money in politics, but I don’t see how it could possibly be removed. Rich people will always find ways to make politicians care about what they want.
I guess if there were no more rich people you’d effectively take money out of politics, but that’s a very tall order.
If you’re going to call them Xits please use Catalan pronunciation rules where Xató comes sounding identically to that French word for a mansion. You can’t even comprehend how hard Catalans are laughing at Xitter.
