I don’t understand the conservative impulse to just grind the poor down to dust.

People have limits and our country is awash with guns. The elite _should_ be scared of a population with nothing to lose.

Trump's fact-free claims endure absolutely no fact-checking from these moderators.

Abysmal moderation.

I can’t stand the sound of Trumps voice and my mind was made up in 2016 that he should never be near power. So I’m not watching the debates. But I’m really happy with what I’m reading on here about our current president’s performance. Great shit.

I’m also terrified about what the fascists are going to do to the environment, my friends, my wife, and my family when they win.

Fuck everyone who downplayed 1/6. These fascists should have been drummed out of society after that.

The 5 years with the lowest homicide rates in the past 50 years all came under President Obama (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014).

Under President Biden, 2024 is also on track to have the one of the lowest homicide rates in the past 50 years.

Oh look another decision limiting the reach of bribery laws.

At least it is authored by one of the Justices not accused of being bribed by billionaires.

NYTimes: "I Study #Disinformation. This #Election Will Be Grim".
This by the former research director of the #Stanford Internet Observatory. It was one of the leading #US institutions studying #online disinformation, but it's been shut down recently due to lawsuits and Congressional 'investigations' (which remind me of #McCarthy)
