General Politics XII World • Page 199

Bless you, pop

 

I got a great buddy who lives in Kalamazoo.

 

Yeah I might be going full ostrich and getting rid of how much I keep up with national politics. Focus solely on local and what I can do there. Shits depressing as fuck and last Trump term totally fucked with me and how much I was invested.

 

Holy shit what if she squeaks out electoral college but loses popular vote…

 

Hennepin County hasn’t reported anything yet.

 

Gotta get the kiddos passports. Spouse likely has ability to immigrate to Italy via heritage, so looking at Norica/Monte, or Orvieto.

 

Next recession gonna be so so bad

 

I had one 10% abv stout and that was somehow enough to make me really sleepy, I will not be seeing the final results tonight, and I guess that's a blessing

 

How much do you think it would cost for a single person to relocate and how much time would it take to find employment within their industry and/or in a field that won’t exploit them because they’re a foreigner. You start thinking about the logistics of such a move, toss in people with partners, family, kids even and what that would mean for them and it shouldn’t be hard to understand why people don’t leave. And if everyone with the means to leave did so who’s left? Those without the means and no chance of standing up for themselves in the face of fascism.

 

Do you really think the results would be better if we ran into a recession in 2021/2022?

 

will forever be mad for all the stupid ads I saw nothing about what they would actually do besides "google project 2025" was thrown out there. we got "i'd put a republican in my cabinet" and not "look at these deeply unpopular things these people want to do!"

 

no? why would I abandon my community instead of staying and trying to make it better? Yes another Trump presidency is awful and evil, that's all the more reason to stay and do what I can to help, not pack up and move elsewhere.

 

well in that case its good, right?

 

I get laughing at the dems, they went away from all things they started to do right at the beginning and turned to the worst shit on top of the genocide. Somehow ran a worse campaign than Hilary fucking Clinton…

But there is also a lot of people who are very scared of what’s to come, particularly women. I can’t bring myself to laugh at it personally due to that.

 

Tongue in cheek, but is the gist here, "Screw [illegal] immigrants b.c. they are cowards for not reforming their own nations"?

 

Yes but would be an insane reversal from 2016 and Trump supporters would never accept it

 

So like this also proves that not only are we sexist but we’re racist and sexist?

 

Holy way we'd ever see a bipartisan move to end the EC and it still would never happen

 

looking at the NYT map of the vote shifts from 2020. Fucking yikes

 

Harris lead in NY is about half of Biden’s lead from 2020

 

There was no good choice for them but they ultimately are lost. I hate to be that bummer but they are gone as a people, the world is not going to save them. It breaks my heart to accept it but even if the face of pure genocide, why is no major country actively trying to stop Israel? Why are there no sanctions or blockades against them? Why is monetary and military aid not ceasing to them? You must accept that the world collectively made a choice and it was against the Palestinian people. You tried but you could not save them. Evil always persists against your wishes.

 

Always have been

 

This is such a self-serving obfuscation lol “it’s not that we refuse to pitch a positive economic vision for the average person… it’s that voters are greedy pricks!”
