I’m trying man but all I see is hate and fear win. Like just now I was thinking we know trumps going to make another authoritarian grab for power. No matter the results. I know they put some protections in if he loses and they seem pretty decent.
What about if he wins, though?
He’s signaled his intent should we not warn our citizens about what to do when certain things happen?
When Trump exercises the new powers that the supreme court granted him, what should the people do?
When Trump expels anyone not loyal to him from the government? What do we do?
When he opens concentration camps to round up immigrants, what should we be doing?
It’s all but too late but how stupid it would be if the DNC left it all up to chance.
it is wasteful for me to discuss with you if you cannot see any value in the vote
It’s pessimistic but it does help calibrate you on what to be grateful for. Say, somehow, we are on the brink of a utopia and we just don’t know it. Except the people today won’t be alive to experience it. For us, this would be as good as it gets.
That one article claiming to have cured a person with type I diabetes. I don’t really put stock into it but at one point HIV was thought to be incurable and they made breakthroughs like this, one at a time.
I’ll go. One thing that always gives me pause is crime rates are way down in the US.
Tim has come out guns blazing. I’d let him go head to head against Vance with no fact checks. I just wish they’d get rid of the moderators, though, if they aren’t going to moderate.
Just put a jar between them and they can pull a card if the discussion dies down.
What good is a revolution where the cost is human life with no guarantee of victory?
No one is arguing the voting booth is the perfect. My only argument is, if you is you want to win, you have to win on all fronts. You have to have a strategy, not just a dream. Even if the US were to escalate to violent revolution, who is it you want at the helm of the US military when the fighting breaks out?
No, it is wasteful for me to discuss with you if you cannot see any value in the vote. It is delusional of me to discuss with you if you think a revolution comes down to the villagers simply picking up pitchforks.
Zoro would like a word.
It’s just a stark difference in how the would be freedom fighters want to ally with the rest of us. They want us to shed our blood but when we ask them to show up to the polls they say their principles prohibit it.
Sorry you thought I was being prescriptive. Oh well.
I agree. I also have my own pet agenda. I think people need more time to process. Our mind is taxed constantly and we are trying to squeeze everybit of life in the 2-3 hours before we have to go back to work. If people could chill for some exteneded period of time. Feel stable for a some extended period of time. They would not be so panicked all the time and be less prone to being irrational.
The best way to avoid information is to avoid misinformation? Maybe you meant something else.
Edit:
Am I missing something?
This is hyperliteral, but ok. In this case we are talking about the information from our senses. Well, our senses fail us all the time. Ever misread a word? Ever mishear instructions? Cross your index and middle finger then run the tips of those fingers down the bridge of your nose. Done correctly you will feel two noses.
I’m ok with this, it highlights the same exact thing. To avoid air pollution you would have to stop breathing because all air is polluted.
It’s kinda sad that we’d die side by side on the battle feild but voting side by side in the voting booth is a bridge too far.
Thnks. Bud.
Edit: See what I mean. So sensitive.
Polticial opinion speaks directly to how ugly and distasteful a person can be. Viscerally, as the observer, shading someone’s outward appearance with what might be inside changes how they appear.
For sure. How many times has the end is nigh reared it’s head in the last 40yrs
