      im continually hearing rumors about their exquisite taste and superb potential for nourishment and satiation of the irate proletariat, when consumed.

    When will the democrats drop gun control from their platform given recent history?

    “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”

      ~50% of an armed populace will fight for an oppressive regime. It’s not an effective way to deter governmental takeover.

        This assumes that either the populace that would fight for a freer regime is in the permanent minority or that there exists no part of the populace that would simply not fight for either regime.

        I seem to recall that ~40% is the magic number of strong supporters (not necessarily militant supporters) that the regime would need to effectively suppress dissent through violent and non-violent means, but that’s a half-remembered number that I cannot source.

      Maybe pass electoral reform in your state so we can be free to vote for who best represents us without a spoiler effect.

      Yes, if we just keep awarding their willful ineptitude with blind loyalty and unquestioning obedience for a couple more decades, they’re SURE to move the bar higher than “mostly not quite as awful as the alternative” of their own volition!

      You’re not in the neolib safe space so; no, voting dem without ever holding them accountable in over a hundred years on literally anything has caused this situation. Harris would have given you four more years, at most, in the most optimistic circumstances, before this happened. America can’t end any other way than this, and America is approaching it’s end regardless of what you do.

          If you’re not in the US, then learn. Don’t have a choice that is only between two fascist parties.
