I will vote for Biden and our democracy.

This is the only option if you don’t want to seriously damage our country and its democracy.

Could do the same thing in reverse and reveal it as Biden’s speech. Lots of them agree with most of what Biden says. They’re just brainwashed into hating the other side.

She said his what was what?

That’s probably the case, though I think smarter people who didn’t already want to invade the Middle East to avenge their daddy’s name (before 9/11 strangely) might have heeded the multiple intelligence warnings better.

I hate Nader for his spoiling that election in particular, but he wanted locked cockpit doors way before 9/11. Gore may have listened to his advise but probably not in time.

I think we also would have sanctioned Saudi Arabia and worked with Pakistan instead of the bullshit that happened instead.

And many of the dozen groups are run by the same family of douchbags. The Dorr brothers.

Yeah the No Compromise podcast is a really good primer for what the NRA is done.

Scary listen, especially with the new speaker of the house’s religious statements.

The internet largely killed high speed commercial flight.

It should’ve kill the cubical a long time ago. But middle management culture is so entrenched it took a deadly highly contagious virus to kill it.

Teleporting is just one small conceptual step beyond (and unlikely large technical leap) what we already have.

Knowing now that Bin-Laden had been in Pakistan and we kinda knew almost where for a long time really makes the Iraq invasion so much worse.

I went and protested it in Copley Square the night before we invaded Iraq. I’m glad I did it, but it seemed to do fuck all. Possibly lead to Barack Obama’s presidency, which I’m happy about, but that in turn may have lead Trump’s as well.

I can’t help wonder how different the world would have been with Gore as president. Even social media may have been regulated differently with a moderately (or even slightly) tech savvy administration, though that’s probably a stretch.

Edit: Wft autocorrect; Batak Obamass? Really?

Just roll around in a chain link hexagon with another mostly naked dude for a few hours. It’ll straighten you right out.

Putin’s, almost certainly.

Our gerrymandered, billionaire-backed minority rule legislative branch has decided that. Not “everyone”

Which is the GOPs plan: keep voters dumb enough to elect more Republicans.
