  • That’s easy to say but when there are laws in place to protect the entrenched two-party system and they’re choosing who you get to vote for, it should be plainly obvious that we’re just being given an illusion of choice.

    Look at Trump’s term, then at Biden’s. America as a whole didn’t really change. The talking heads sqwaked about different topics but ultimately we’re no different as a country than were 8 years ago. It’s a lot of finger pointing in the end but ultimately when one side gets in, the rich get tax breaks. When the opposite side gets in, the same rich tax the poor harder via increased prices at every register. Either way, their wealth increases and they get richer.

    The only way forward should be sweeping, drastic change which is often the platform both parties run on, yet neither are ever held accountable for failure to deliver on those promises. The fact that we live in a country as vast as the USA while somehow only having a choice between two different shit sandwiches is utterly ridiculous. I’m tired of eating shit!

    I had never viewed this commercial before today. After reading the comments here, naturally I wanted to see it for myself and followed a link. I honestly didn’t see anything other than standard sibling interactions. The early morning “dreamy-style” lighting (prime coffee drinking time) is the only thing that gave off a romantic atmosphere of any kind. From the comments here it’s clear others see something between the two across but it feels like a bit of a reach to me.


  • The crux of the issue is that a good portion of the US has been convinced the only way back to “being American” is through use of their amassed arsenal. They’re aging out. With fewer and fewer voters leaning their way they try and go dirty which didn’t work, leaving them their only card left to play, “civil war”. The issue none of them care to address is the fact that 90+% of their forces are on daily medication just to live. If war really broke out, access to those medications get severed. Another thing is it may seem enjoyable for them to feel like they’re participating at a turning point in our history but war isn’t something an individual can just stop doing because it’s been a hard day and they need to unwind with a cold one.

    Mostly it feels like bluster but I’ve seen plenty of stupid transpire in my short lifetime to know anything can and does happen.

    God save us all.
