Nooooo, it’ll be fiiiine.

People are allowed to own pets without knowing anything at all about responsible pet ownership. It’s ficked up.

The American empire is much larger than the territories Germany controlled.

If the US were to become fascist, it would likely influence South America, Western Europe, the Caribbean, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and other regions to follow suit.

There’s less people living in poverty today than ever before. We all carry around super computers that connect us with our loved ones at all times and contain all of human knowledge. If you’re over 5’8 and weigh more than 145 pounds then you’re physically better off than the average US soldier during WW2. Diseases that used to kill millions every year are now close to eradication.

Don’t mistake your increased awareness of global issues as things getting worse. This is the best time in human history to be alive. Anyone telling you different is looking at a very specific aspect of the past with rose tinted glasses.

A Lib Dem official opposition would be amazing

I’m Canadian

Defending Taiwan against communist China has been US foreign policy since Harry Truman was in office.

I agree, and honestly a rebranding would go a long way to improving its appeal to the average person

If a democrat fucks up, that’s big news because they’re supposed to have their shit together and act in the best interest of all of us.

If a republican fucks up, that’s expected. Any articles about that are like ‘water is wet’. It’s not informative because we all know, even the conservatives who vote for them, that they’re in it for themselves and are out to get everyone else.

Lol no one wants war with another nuclear power.

I’m a different person. I’m not pissed, I’m just making casual conversation.

Communism and capitalism as they were described in the literature both died in 93 and 08 respectively.

Just like the current capitalist system in the US cannot function without massive subsidies and bailouts, I’d imagine the current communist systems require private enterprises to keep parts of their system functioning.

Does the United States having food stamps and public education make it a socialist country?

It seems like there is a maximum level of failsons an empire can accumulate before it collapses.

RFK Jr is a third wave failson. Trump is a second wave failson.

Opinions on Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?

Sounds like maybe what you don’t like is British humour.

Polls show her doing as well as Biden.

The thing that’s going to win this election for the democrats is abortion. Harris might be good on that aspect of the race.

It’s pretty disheartening. People had a better opinion of the economy when me and my friends could only get jobs that paid in experience for 5 years.

But in that case, even during the highest unemployment, most people still had their jobs so to them the only difference was things were cheaper, people were willing to do things for you for less money (or free of you’d tell your friends how helpful I was).

Lol, in that scenario picking a new VP requires confirmation from both house and Senate.

Do you think the house GOP would confirm anyone? Or keep the spot open and just have Speaker Johnson next in line?

How do we feel about a woman of color as president with the next in line being a christo-facist? What’s the presidential odds of assassination, 14%?

Many, many shitty scenarios. No clear answer as to what the right choice is and if we lose well always be second guessing what could’ve been.

Anyone telling you this is an easy choice, or is speaking with absolute confidence is full of shit.

Here’s the deal: these people aren’t being laid off because the company is losing money, they are being laid off because the company is not making as much money as it predicted it would last quarter.

Now, not making as much money as you thought while still being profitable is not a bad thing except for one person: the c-level executive.

The c-level has profit targets he needs to hit to unlock a huge bonus. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are at stake for him, that one individual.

So these hundreds of people aren’t losing their jobs so the company can thrive and be healthy. They’re losing their jobs so one person can make hundreds of thousands of dollars more on top of their existing salary which was always guaranteed to them.

Americans would rather vote for a pedophile than a weak old man
