Why yes, the first openly gay ghost in comics…

Always the dogwhistle…

NOTHING anymore is social programs, social benefit, societal good.

OMG it’s a SOCIALIST!!

Yeah, he’s muslim too - Eeeek!

People actually do see through this shit - and some even keep the receipts…

This is a premier example why we need to stop using those terms altogether.

Yes, history is cyclic, but we ought to give more credit to the zeitgeist we face today.

Never in our history have we seen such an efficient conglomeration of religion, supremecy, and hate groups working in unison.

They deserve new, fresh words. Something catchy to yell, as we throw molotovs at them…

That’s cute. Thinking that voting, ballots, and petitions are something that works right now…

Love Sanders, but he just like the rest, sit currently in a party that means to sabotage their every possible effort. Time to wake up.

Right? Duly reported…

Patriotism is a MacGuffin -

It’s a feeling.

Now, you may think I’m attempting to invalidate it, but far from it. From the revolutionary war up to present - what is a ‘Patriot’ has been poorly defined, and left to subjective interpretation.

Forget the gaslighting Republicans have been under since the Tea-Party. Let’s go back, say thirty years, to the Family Values Coalition. Or perhaps another thirty years back to McCarthyism and the HUAC. Or even further back to Strom Thurman trying to legitimize the KKK. (or else we could just recognize that the family lines in control of the narrative now, are the slave-owner families of the South.)

-Make no doubt - They think they are ‘Patriots’.

People will become bellicose about what a true ‘patriot’ is - I tell you, don’t give two flying-f*cks…

Did Thomas Paine, and Paul Revere know the impact of their actions on those days? Of course not.

And that is the way it will be with this new history. It tends to be defined by the victors, by the way. Might wanna get off your ass…

Well, I was going to mention the typo - But that was before all the IMDB links…

Da Fuq?

All I can say, is the neoliberal efforts towards gun control not only didn’t work - it’s backfired in a way that’s about to make a slave nation out of all of us.

I have nothing to celebrate as an American. I seek…

The charismatic leader, with a plan, with command and control, and more importantly - clear guidelines for the cessation of hostilities. Sure would be nice if the rest of you caught up…

Well lets see, you are coming out of one of the biggest tanks ever for the gaming movie franchise. The online mentions are far more jokes about your IP than any kind of nostalgia.

Sure, go exclusive! And make sure you code 60% of your next project with AI - the gamers will love it!

And what? Tell them to get a spine? Oust the corporate sycophants? Restore the New Deal? Prosecute the traitors?

This is what they are.

And how large is the disenfranchised bloc at this point?

Mid terms will spell it out well enough. Nobody has polled those just like myself that won’t vote for either party again.

No, DNC has fully cooked it’s Goose. If the greens didn’t just float sabotage candidates they would probably run some real numbers this cycle. Screw Stein and all that garbage.

No, I’ve been saying it since Janurary - if ANYBODY actually went out there with a populist center-left campaign - they will become the new duopoly partner. With a good message you could vacate easily a third of democratic seats if not more…

You didn’t hear? They have recast John Simm to play The Master…

They make their excuses, and their reasons…

Now one could debate that the specifics behind the Harris campaign are what contributed to the loss. And true as it is, the one thing not mentioned is this is when the left finally broke away from the Democratic Party.

I’ve been independant since Gore in fact, and grudgingly toeing the ‘vote blue no matter who’ thing longer than it’s been a catch-phrase. But never again.

Failing to investigate vocally confirmed vote fraud - Making ‘The Squad’ a dirty word - the mistreatment of Sarah McBride - the blaming everybody else but their own campaign and strategy - the wallstreet corruption - the constant capitulation

I think I can speak for much of us on the left in saying the DNC has irrevocably lost our involvement. I still encourage AOC, Swalwell, Schiff - hell anybody that gives a shit to start a new damn party

(queue up the two-party-system reply guys here)

I really hope she counters with a SLAPP suit against him.

God knows there’s enough precedent

This is called begging the question, (and no true scotsman) - And also why Politico is now just another propaganda channel.

You really gotta love when a British paper decides it want’s to be a booster for the American Fascism train.

Well, when they finally declare open season, guess who will be among the first… Yeah, the Enablers.

The clothes - not so much…

I think the WWW as we knew it is unrecoverable. Greed destroyed the original ethos, and the policies (namely privacy) that were core to it’s use as a public square.

Me, I’m older, so maybe prone to the nostalgia. But when we had IRC, AIM, forums and torrents it was so much a better space, and community.

The Fediverse isn’t getting the traction I had originally hoped, but I also think it will be with us for many years to come. But yeah, I think decentralization is the only real way to move forward out of this nihilistic mess we call the web these days.
