Just head on Fox to make your case and I’m sure you’ll get the job!

And then I’d like to submit my application to be your assistant czar. I could use a low stress job that sucks money from the US budget so it can’t be used in Israel or Yemen while I work on my hobbies and interests.

I can’t believe a random Fox News host is our next Secretary of Defense. It’s like an onion bit.

I can’t wait for Gavin, the random valet guy who complimented Trump’s tie, to be our Secretary of Energy and control all the nuclear stockpile.

It’s also a thought experiment taking place during a short, discrete moment of time on the track. What if you stretch out the track by years? The path that seemed good before may have way more people tied to it in the long run.

That’s how I saw it if the Dems felt they could get away with doing a genocide forever without a political consequence. I mean, it’s hard to get much worse than that, but if the Dems feel they can do anything as long as it’s one step less out loud evil than what the fascist Republicans are doing, and the Republicans keep sprinting right as fast as possible, there’s literally nothing that will stop them from later abandoning those other groups people liked to put on the trolley as being saved if Harris got into office.

No one in the country wanted to take the prisoners and he was just an uwu small bean President of the United States who couldn’t do anything after that.

Feel like I can’t go anywhere on the internet right now. Thank God for this place.

I think it’s some rules lawyer expert like people are saying. IIRC they brought it out because they were making a Reconciliation Budget Bill, which they do like only once or twice a year, and the rules are that bill has a lower threshold to pass (since everything is filibustered now you need 60% to basically do anything else) but it has to be budget related stuff. When there was a question on whether some progressive legislation counted, the parliamentarian came out to read the ancient scrolls and divine from the stars that it didn’t count and couldn’t be put in the bill.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. Both parties clearly hate Palestine and a bill with that narrative is clearly aimed to stop dissent against that.

Less internet? No idea lol.

Isn’t that all Gen z at this point?

Is that a rarity on hexbear? I do think people here can downplay the danger of him too much but hopefully not to that extent. He did heinous stuff to immigrants last time and no doubt will again.

As for op ya, I don’t have any advice. Someone at the People’s Forum talk earlier tonight about immigration, so I’d maybe check it out and see if any names pop up for organizations you can look into to help you out.

Thanks for answering. That’s a great reply and I’m going to save this comment.

You think they’d be shedding them with every failed election. Wonder if they’ll lose any from this one.

I thought this was a bit for a second but then I remembered that it was /r/neoliberal. That’s insane to me that these people have a whole subreddit.

How do you get past the initial brainworms even bringing up the word communism? Like someone else said above, I feel like I can’t even bring up an alternative path or get them to pick up a book without them yelling about China and Tiannamen Square, or Stalin and his killing a bajillion millon people, or how “communism has never worked”. It’s so annoying to have to go back to these basic, first-grade points every time.

Lol good luck

Idk, maybe it’s possible from the super higher ups who decide the overall strategy, but I know the on-the-ground people tried their hardest. I know a couple Dem organizers and I feel so bad for them, they put their all into this campaign. I don’t think they’re able to be radicalized (they’re not like Mayor Pete here on hexbear, doing it for a job, they’re dyed in the wool libs), but if they are, I’m going to wait awhile before offering my opinions. They’re in a bad way right now and just likely to lash out until some time passes and the emotions calm down.

I find it easier to believe that they thought they could go right and get more people put off by Trump’s rudeness. They saw Biden’s victory in 2020 and Dem victories in 2022 and thought that was the right strategy to win. And seeing the US right now, I get it. Turns out, it’s a super racist place begging for fascism.

That’s why they’re paid the big bucks.

Yes, the voters suck, but that’s all of them, not just the Trump ones. Every voter has been ignoring a genocide going on for the last year that their country is arming. That should’ve been the first sign that this country and the people in aren’t good, that the people are selfish, that they are primed for fascism.

You dont care about the Palestinians? Well the Trump voters don’t care about their mothers, daughters, wives, immigrants, minorities, or trans people. It’s the exact same strain of selfishness, just evolved, but it comes from that same seed. Sucks, doesn’t it?

Huh never realized it but this will be a great lesson in siege mentality if I ever have to explain communist states to people in the future.

"That and fear panic you feel about losing your way of life if Trump takes over? Ya, that’s the feel all these AES states feel, and even worse since the US has done it before to other similar states and keeps trying. You can see why they have one party or restrict press freedoms from right-wing or foreign sources or ban politicians who try to start coups now, right? Doesn’t seem like such a bad idea now, does it? "

Chuds: Everybody I know loves Trump so the election must have been stolen. Damn you Soros/(((globalists)))/the Hollywood elite!

Dems: Everybody knows they’re worse so if you didn’t come out to vote for us, fuck you. We’ll be running the same strategy next election cycle btw, so hopefully outside conditions (like a pandemic or recession) make it work for us this time, otherwise we’ll be blaming you even harder.
