I swear to goodness, some of the posts in here are so weird. The US is fine if you're ''business friendly'', 1 million people dying is fine because there are elections. Doesn't matter that there's only two parties and a media that is owned by the rich who set the agenda and boundaries of political thought for millions. China sets LGBT policy in America.... It seems as things get worse with the highest drop in real incomes in the West in decades under an establishment centrist presidency, the cheerleaders are going into overdrive. 

They talk down to us because they know they need our votes. So they demand we suck it up and give up what we want because "it's a pipe dream" so that we support their milquetoast incrementalism that doesn't really help anyone.

The two majority-black congressional districts getting lost deserves a lot more attention than Disney imho, though the the latter's amount is still justified.

I think this is a very cogent and simple example of political gaslighting.

 

Republicans: "Omg, no one is against gay rights! Stop saying that we are!"

Also Republicans: **introduce hundreds of anti-gay laws across the country**

Crazy how out in the open this is. It reminds me when a bunch of Republican governors started passing laws requiring people who get government benefits to get drug tested and then it came out those politicians had money invested in drug testing companies

 

Quote

Conveniently, Florida Governor Republican Rick Scott pushed mandatory drug testing—provided, in part, by his wife’s company, Solantic⁠. Scott transferred his $62 million stake⁠ in the company to his wife only a few months before mandating drug testing for state employees and welfare recipients.

Kamala constantly losing staff is pretty hysterical at this point. 

 

As for Puerto Rico, is there any recent data on whether Puerto Rican citizens would like to join as a state? I hate that ruling, but I think they in general deserve all the possible benefits that come with statehood. But of course, I'd only want that if the people there want to join.

Arguably the most chaotic Senate primary in recent history, at least. Strange times.
