Its both to some extent. Removing trump won’t fix the core issues but will stop the bleeding. Just look at how he’s still trying to get tarriffs in. That’s not a popular decision, even among MAGA these days. But it’s a cult.

Put it another way; cigarettes aren’t your core issue, but it sure does help a lot to stop smoking.

I’d personally say the problem isn’t term-limits; it’s the ignorance of the electorate

I’d say that it’s disenfranchisement and the fact that elections arent mandatory. That makes it more advantageous for the non-working class to spend time at townhalls and at voting booths.

A man working 2 jobs 12 hours a day to support his family simply isn’t going to have the same kind of presence as a business owner who makes his own hohrs or retirees who no longee work full time. And that applies even to voting. So guess how the voter skews?

But mandatory voting isn’t even in the conversion right now. Term limits are and has precedent. We gotta try something.

These ghouls do their dardnest to make sure remove voter choice as is.

Besides, term limits don’t need to be 8 years. Make it 3-4 terms for Senate and 10 for House. The main idea isn’t a revolving door, but to make sure fossils older than my dead grandpa aren’t still in Congress controlling my (theoretical) kids future.

for reasons I choose not to understand

Dems fall in love, Republicans fall in line. Though these days it seems like that’s reversing.

He’s “legally” alive, so the risk on saying he’s dead is technically slander.

He is not in any shape to perform his duties (or really any duties but existing on a technicality). This is yet another loophole being exploited that needs to be addressed. Likely in the future because this admin sure won’t address it.

We miss a few days, even in some cases with a doctor’s note, and most of us would be on the hook for our jobs. Our supposed “representatives” can fuck off for months and still get a salary and job security.

We aren’t angry enough. Yet another reform to throw on the pile once we dig out of Hell and get back to ground zero.

Well, there are quite a few high profile strikes. The big issues are

1. They are not coordinated, because the groups don’t really talk to each other
2. The government as of now isn’t exact one who will give a fuck about Mos worker strikes and will probably just throw the national guard at the problem (illegally)
3. If we’re being real, some people aren’t yurt enough and still support this clownshow. Still a lot of “I got mine” attitude out there holding everything back.

It’ll be a few years for sure. But I can definitely see some people fighting. Even if it’s not enough.

I’m not banned, I deleted my account 6 years ago.

Best I can do is a tapeworm masquerading as a human. Take it or leave it.

anyways, freeuse is kinda what it says on the tin. “Free” to “use” the person wherever, whenever. if they’re relaxig in bed, while they are doing the dishes, outside gardening the plants, while asleep. Usually has some overlap with the ignoring kink where they try to just go about their day and pretend they aren’t being railed ruthlessly.

The post is real. I think they Ai slop was just a weird censorship technique.

Now, whether or not the users on Reddit are bots getting freaky on main is a different question altogether…

Turns out that unchecked monopolies and trillionaires while more and more people are priced out of life (or come out the gate unable to start a career) is bad PR. Who knew?

as you probably know, most of Europe is turning to shit right now,

What isn’t turning to shit? Outside of China, everyone is having a bad time. Asia is the canary in the coalmine for a population crisis (while still resisting immigration), Canada and Australia have a housing crisis, there’s a general, global economic slowdown.

Relatively speaking, EU aint too bad. And that’s mostly because Trump was so comically bad it made most of the continent do a double take on the whole far right thing (it’s a shame some countries still chose to slip, but it slowed it down).

I do see a light. But I also think we’re in the eye of the storm. It’ll get much much worse, then hopefully better if we make it through that.

The media is not on our side. They can’t even put “illegal” in the title; they just soften it with “despite court orders…”

Hard to say. Mamdami has a lot of work to do and reforming the NYPD during these times is one of the larger tasks. That might be more for something during his 2nd term if he gets that far.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a lot of flak internally over these issues once he got in.

What do you want to be done? The smart but feels bad move is to keep taking notes and keep taking names. The regime won’t last forever and a blue wave is already coming.

For now, the thing being done will be more court fights between state and federal (aka notekeeping).

yeah, I just go directly to subreddits. I can’t access anything. heck, I was on a specific post last night, then refreshed the tab to a login screen.
