'We've lost a partner and a friend': Ukrainians somber as U.S. partnership disintegrates

He already allowed putin to play him like a fiddle and needs to lean into it now. I liken it to the saying, " You can't unlick a butthole"

Since you asked the part that stood out was very small
I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment.
Feels a little: ugh sure I guessss I could have explained more, so tedious
Clearly this was a misinterpretation.

What's your retirement age now?
But genuinely, I'll accept that as generally true. One issue we have that you don't is you can get to the actual capital of power in like 5 hours from anywhere in the country. A very large swath of the more liberal population of this country lives 50 expensive driving hours or a very expensive flight away and there are very few labor protections. Most businesses are run by people who are on the side of the government, meaning you are asking folks to lose their job, fly or drive ~5000km, all to stand outside a place with armed riot police with signs. That doesn't sound appealing, nor does it sound effective based on the violent and blatantly illegal actions undertaken by the us government in DC and Portland during the previous trump administration.
So then the question becomes: is it time for an actual armed protest. Is that the right step?

Are you really comparing a country quickly becoming a nazi dictatorship with a democratic change to align with demographic considerations?
-
No, very clearly not.
I'm commenting on the effectiveness of a course of action.
Are we not in the same thread?

The electoral college was actually intended to prevent this exact scenario. Of course, it failed spectacularly.

As much as it pains me, same. Lots of Americans are going to die, but at this point we deserve it. We've been sleepwalking into fascism for over 40 years, and have ignored every single warning we were given. I used to care about us being united, because I know what the fate of red states will be if Balkanization happens, but now? Fuck 'em. Let's just split apart so we no longer have to support all these MAGA welfare queens in Alabama and Mississippi. Let corporate interests swoop in and go full classical colonialism on their weak economies. If they really want to work in sweatshops for nickels, fuckin let them. My blue state is strong enough to stand alone, I know most other blue states are, so what's the point in defending the people a collapse will hurt the most when they voted for it?

Please, Reagan would be fucking thrilled. After the Republicans installed their dream government style in Russia after the Soviet Union collapse, it's been their goal to bring it to America. The only thing that would make Reagan disappointed is that he didn't get to be king.

Is it a solar panel..?

DNC really dropped the ball. Biden should have never even considered a second term, and there should have been open primaries.
-
Ha! It's a habit I got from my dad. Absolutely a misinterpretation.

The fuck do you have all those guns for? Organize yourselves and fucking retake your country from those billionaire nazi fucks.

It's a license plate camera. Operated by a private company called "flock safety" which provides the database to law enforcement agencies everywhere. Anyone with access to the database can look through it without a warrant.
