You could be correct.

However, Europe’s “right” is America’s “left”.

The political situation might be semantically similar, but the political policymaking is a vastly different situation between the two.

Europe, universally, believes in healthcare as a right, for example.

They won’t oppose each other. They may not like each other at some point, but their goals are completely aligned, which is the fascist takeover of america by Corporate interests.

Yeah, like the Edison comparison isn’t a positive one.

He’s talking broadly, to Americans. Which you and I are. And he’s right, we deserve this. As a country.

As an individual, neither of us do, since we fought and voted against him. But that’s not what OP was saying. He wasn’t addressing you specifically, but our nation in the second person.

This.

Back in the day this is how the internet worked. Every forum host was just some guy or girl hosting a platform so they coukd build a community with the people and hobbies they love.

We need to go back closer to that world. The fediverse bridges the gap between the centralized experience, and decentralized management.

Optimistically, it’s the best of both worlds.

Yeah, pretty much. This and Discord really. Signal for P2P messaging.

In their defense, they did try to get RBG to resign at the end of Obama’s term, but she refused, thinking Hillary would win.

She was wrong. Dead wrong. Unfortunately.

Explain to me how she, or people in her orbit/administration, have said things even remotely similar to what Huckabee just said.

Getting out of bed, going down the street, standing in line, spending 3 minutes casting a ballot; is that a lot to ask of people to safeguard democracy?

I was working in the IT admin office for a time while doing software development, and got to witness this guy who came in to have his laptop fixed/swapped; and he said “You guys don’t like, check the laptops for files and stuff, right?”.

And the IT guy was legendary, didn’t skip a beat, was like “Nah, nah, we don’t have time for that crap.”.

As soon as the guy was out of the room, we checked his laptop’s files.

Porn. So much porn. Like, gigs of it, and this was in the early 2000’s when that meant a lot.

We went to HR, and they called him up and reviewed, and SOMEHOW, he dodged the bullet and they retained him. The reason? It was his porn. You read that right. He had gigs of porn of him banging his stripper GF on his laptop, and because it wasn’t “downloaded” porn, he got off.

Then a month later he was let go when he was found taking pictures with his cell phone over the cubicle wall of a female employee without her knowledge.

But I’ll never forget the mental gymnastics that happened to convince HR that porn only meant pictures of “other people” being naked, not himself and his GF.

We know. Most of us already do at least. The others will follow later. But it’ll be much, much too late.

We all did, you’re not wrong.

It’s a sad reality we all woke up to on Wednesday. Learning that the majority of Americans are ignorant, racist, misogynistic, selfish assholes.

The SCOTUS struck down states removing him from the ballot box.

None of it will matter because there won’t ever be another free and fair election again.

That are not, unfortunately. They’re covering their asses in case trump wins and wants retaliation.

Corrupt judges and a feckless DOJ, unfortunately

Economics is poorly understood by the vast majority of Americans. To most people, it is purely political.

He wants consequence free speech, it’s a different thing.

Yeah, I’ve got absolutely no clue why they thought this would be a better defense

It will eventually try to eat us.
