I would have much preferred a connections Republican party over what we got.
If revolutions bring ultimately successful, examples?
I know there are some, with the obvious one being the American Civil War that ended slavery. But, wars come with an intense cost to human life, and sounds be a list resort. Precisely because most around the world have not been successful, and have lead to things like military rule.
Why do you think change from within impossible?
That’s exactly what Trump and MAGA did to the Republican party.
Violent revolution brings change but rarely the kind of change most of those who engaged in it actually wanted.
And how will we do that?
Organizing to do what?
You can and should support them as they align with your values, but you’ll never get enough votes for them to have any chance of overthrowing the big two. It has to be changed from within, unless you’re prepared to try violence.
Progressive social change has always occurred under the auspices of the left-most of the two major parties. That’s just how it overwhelmingly is. What’s not to agree with? How do you think progress will happen next time it happens?
I don’t think you’re listening. That’s one of the issues both sides share in common that sucks. Doesn’t change the fact they’re our only hope.
We may have got here eventually anyway, but things are a lot worse for Americans right now because of Trump’s Republicans. Let’s not lose sight of that when complaining about the shit they have in common.
There’s also nobody who might emerge out of the right who would bring something that will make life for everyone better. Only the Democrats have a chance of doing that and engineering a better system that might eventuallyundermine their own political hegemony. Would they without pressure? Of course not. But the right will never even be pressured to do anything like that intentionally by it’s base, almost by definition basically.
Oh yeah fair points. It’s an ideal not anything near an immediate option by any stretch.
Why couldn’t your meme show like solar punk utopian imagery, and people living in beautiful harmony with nature.
Oh, that’s why.
A scary possibility indeed!
He’s just this guy who has a big chance of being a murderer. He is capable of deliberately planning to kill a person outside of immediate self-defence. However evil CEO A or B may be, the moral calculus isn’t hard: society as a whole comes first. Unless we’re sure he is innocent, it’s not clear he’s someone who can be left free safely. He’s a flight risk for starters.
Police parade him and his manifesto so that they have an excuse to hold him, they look competent, and they get to keep him behind bars until we know for sure one way or another, or until they can’t hold him any longer. In which case we may never know for sure until the statue of limitations had passed and if he wants to confess.
Clearly not, but what’s your point? Biden is president. Not saying it’s right. But I think it’s what any parent would do. Hunter isn’t some moral monster. He’s just messed up more than anything, in the way a kid in his situation might.
Not justifying it, but executive power is insane. Trump will break the law far more destructively with respect to Hunter then this pardon, or at least that’s the fear I imagine Biden has.
Sure, your feelings are valid. Just explaining his actions, not justifying them.
Do you think Hunter Biden is safe in the US justice system with Trump in charge?
I guess it’s not the Ciabatta I know. Light on the inside, crispy on the outside.
The light crispy stuff though. It’s still common in NZ. Love it.
I mean sure but better if all in attendance vote for a better future at the ballot as well.
