    I was a Infowars listening Ron Paul loving libertarian in like 2009-2011 in my early 20's. I then became apolitical and was very offline from 2012-2015. It was because of Sanders 2016 campaign that I got back into politics and went to the left.

    Maybe there’d be less radicalizing for the worse if the options weren’t “stronger empire” vs “softer empire.”

    Considering how hate-mongering Republicans underperformed in 2022, and how certain down ballot people & proposals did under this Harris disaster. Maybe the solution involves thinking more of people instead of less, and actually offering them something better.

    this thread around 2011-2013 very very much radicalized me but I think sandy hook was the biggest turning point in my political journey to leftism

    1. Snide lil hardee har har comments meant to be a dig at a comment I made yesterday are equally weird, so I'm just returning in kind. You ain't slick.
    2. Honestly it's not worthwhile considering in TX but I'm definitely planning on looking. Funny/sad thing about how ugly it is here is I had an aunt working the polls yesterday and she said the amount of Hispanics coming in who could barely speak English (she was the official bilingual translator) just clicked the trump box and hit skip on the rest of the ballot was extremely shocking. So that's the kind of community I'm looking at but I plan on looking once this haze of realization passes.

    On the bright side, having two kids scream at me this morning because their mom's on a business trip for work and things not being as they usually are definitely made forgetting about the shitshow of last night's results a bit more palpable. i need to log off all this autopsy analysis though and actually get some work done...which is going to be impossible.

    Trump will leave the office in 4 years. To say otherwise is so silly.

    Freud, you posted that gif of a person doing genocide as some kind of attempt at owning @Wharf Rat (who btw was significantly more on the money about the election) and i called it out then. Now im just pointing out that you weren’t only morally in the wrong for doing it, but also all of your “she MUST have internal polls saying that she has to double down on genocide and court right wingers” cope was as dead wrong as we all tried telling you it was for months. Like, damn, you could be learning something from us!

    However, once you’re through the “haze of reflection” as you say i am down to continue the discussion so if you want to do that then hmu on here.

    Having to put "I didn't vote for Trump" on my Tinder profile again for the first time since 2020 feels so weird.
