Not an expert on this at all but I feel like it's less of "the human race is going to die out" vs the owner class needs cheap labor and bodies for war to continue infinite growth.

My running theory is in the United States, Republican's obsession with abortion is tied to the fact they need poor and broken families to pump out kids for future cheap labor and the prison industrial complex to make a nation function moving forward. That and the gray sunami of a upside down pyramid with not enough young to take care of the older generations (I think Japan and China are experiencing this currently).

With all due respect, as I understand where this sentiment comes from, that is how Trump gained momentum and won.

I think the blue no matter who approach has failed more than worked considering Hillary failed, Biden did win but really it was more Trump lost, Kamala lost (she got a shit deal yeah but still neolib vs unchained Trump should have been a no contest) and going further back Gore and Kerry lost to Bush. Clinton basically was the centrist Republican neolib that got Dems a roadmap that they keep to this day.

The time for half measures is over and the DNC needs to adapt or they will end up like the Whig Party. If you dont believe me look at their approval right now, No one likes the Democrats

Newsom is an establishment figure and telling the next generation of voters this is going to be a candidate for change won't yield the results you think.

He's been around since the 2000's, he was perfectly cast in The Shield and just has been a soild actor in everything I've seen him in. Glad he's final getting his roses.

It's interesting because the Trump administration, first term, went out of their way to deregulate the FDA and regress the safety regulation around the meat industry which is a reason why we have been getting recalls recently.

This seems like we are heading into a perfect storm.

I was there. I started slow clapping and slowly, but surely, everyone joined me as your father walked out in shame. The waitress came up to me and asked "who was that brave man that gave me that tip?" And I told her "your soul mate".

Without looking at any statistics or polling, I think the spoiler effect is not as prominent and is over stated for one reason.

If I'm going out of my way to not vote for the Democrats or Republicans and voting third party that would mean that I dislike my options so much that I'm giving a fuck you to the two party system.

What people can gather from this is if you said there was only two options I would just sit out and therefore it wasn't going to affect either candidate regardless.

I'm open to be convinced otherwise but I think candidates blaming spoilers should look at the electoral college and themselves when every 4 years they are ready to blame single digit candidates for their losses.

We spend more on our military than the next 9 countries combined not including our dark operations that we can't account for in our budget already.

We could cut our military in half and still be the best funded military in the world.

That problem isn't other nations, it's the US and the military industrial complex

I'm not going to down vote this because he does bring attention to topics that get sweep under the rug in the main stream but he's had so many controversial moments that he refuses to take any fault on that is hard to be a fan of his now a days.

Objectively speaking, you have to admit that if you are from any other states and visit Texas you would more likely be harassed by law enforcement or be a target for being an outsider. Does that mean that the citizens are all a reflection of that? Not really, but it would be very hard to convince a tourist (international or otherwise) to visit a state that has a backwards viewpoint that bleeds into their justice system.

Case in point, this women gets smoked and no charges are being pressed.

I would say the citizens that experienced the fall out from NAFTA that gutted blue collar jobs and created the rust belt would say "the big lump of shit with rat poison" was the Democrats that threw the working class overboard years ago.

Speaking of poison, it is the same reason residents of Michigan would rather vote Trump because the Democratic party and Obama would rather gaslight them about their water being safe to drink instead of charging the corporations that cut costs that polluted the water with federal charges. Obama also bailed out Wall Street and left hard working Americans with a shell of an American dream.

The core of the issue is the Democrats use to be for the everyday man and they lost their way and eroded trust, that will never be gained back. What that leaves voters in fly over states with is a choice to vote their better interest or have a candidate that "tells it like it is" aka lie and get back at the party that screwed them over.

It's not as black and white when you're in the thick of it, as difficult as it is to reason with that base.

Nah this dude is just mentally ill imo. He's also 81 so he's probably dealing with some sort of mental decline.

I went and tried to find some redeeming quality about him and left with nothing. Still shouldn't have been killed but man he's not a person you would want to have a national holiday dedicated to.

I guess I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept to understand.

Pick as many or as little candidates you want for the position and then rank them.

If you are wanting to phone it in just vote for the one candidate like the old system.

I felt it insisted upon itself.

It was good fan service and kept my attention, 8 out of 10 because they did their homework and wrote in characters well enough while giving wolverine a reason to come back.

You would think so but you basically are making a patch work version of the illicit actual media so it's a dark dark gray area for sure.

Fastest I've seen was a game called "Hyenas". It was an extraction shooter from Sega and right when it was going to launch they knew the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and cancelled a completely finished game weeks out from launch.

Whoever told you that is your enemy

Yes

I was drinking heavy but lack of funds meant lack of funs.

Something something recession indicator
