The kids are alright.

He doesn't care about us. None of them do. The only time he's done anything to actually stand up against the rising tide of shit we're all experiencing has been to defend his own son.

The supreme Court has given him incredible power, and he's a lame duck president. He should be doing everything possible to make improvements for us and ruin Trump's agenda, but instead he's going to throw up his hands and ride off into the sunset with his failson.

He was already a university professor and fought in WWI, tho...

Agreed. I'm a teacher and see it in my classrooms. I often feel that they're not taught how to have healthy community, so they become lil fascists...

Vouchers are my tax dollars. So they don't want their money to go to anyone else, but they're ok taking everyone else's.

You first, whitey.

I hope you don't feel any shame in this. It's absolutely disgusting that you live with this sort of fear, and I hope you have a community that you can rely on.

Also, I saw that someone suggested learning to handle firearms, which I agree with, but if home defense is what you're going for, a good ole fashioned Louisville Slugger will also often do the truck

Yup. Patriarchy did them dirty. Society told them they had to be strong, stoic, and without emotion. And when that butted up against the realities of being a human we didn't have any community to lead them towards living a good and healthy life.

Why are they baffled? This is the guy they've hitched their wagon to. He's doing exactly what they wanted.

Of course he is. Take some of your most popular, and arguably most effective, policies and just stop doing them.

Oh wait, those help normal Americans. That's right, we don't do that here.

Pushing for third party votes days before the election isn't the way. You've got to mobilize during the rest of the year, make moves in more local races, etc.

I did Google F451 fireman to make this

"Joe Biden's the reason"

Maybe Harris shouldn't have adopted his platform then.

Honestly, her gender is one of the few things I actually respect about her.

She's an entrenched neo-lib who thought herself so entitled to the presidency that she got her conference to shut down campaigns that actually had a chance while simultaneously neglecting to consider that the Midwest and rust belt exist and have legitimate grievances with the Democratic party.

Agreed. I'll never hesitate to punch a Nazi.

I'm a classroom teacher, and I find that you've gotta sometimes have both "fuck them kids" and "for the kids" in different measures. But overall, I feel like they're doing a lot of cool things.

That's still patriarchy, my guy. They've been raised to be complicit in a system that doesn't benefit them, and they're perpetuating it because they don't like how it feels to step outside of it.

Narcissists gonna narcissist, I guess 🤷

To what end? How does this protect American interests beyond giving Israel free reign to murder folks?

I live in Wisconsin, and last year we reelected Ron Johnson (who I think may just be the dumbest person alive). Everyone has a reason it happened, but very few folks will acknowledge that part of the problem was that his opponent, Mandela Barnes, is a black man. Middle America is still incredibly racist, and for some reason we aren't comfortable just calling it out.
