Completely unnecessary passive voice
Such an ethnically diverse array of cabinet members complicit in genocide.
Except the moment Election Day is over, the election season for the next midterm has started, aka the most important election of our lifetime (until the next one). So we’re right back to, now is not the time for criticism, we have to unite to defeat the Republicans become if they gain control of Congress that means they’ll slaughter every puppy in America.
Oh sure there’s legit Easter eggs out there, but for every legit one there was a dozen unsubstantiated rumors or Mandela effects.
The problem with something like herobrine is it’s too easy in the age of the internet to figure out that it’s just a myth. Before things could be fact checked, it was a lot easier for myths to spread about hidden secrets in games.
The answer, of course, is that Trump becomes president again. And Project 2025 flies into effect. And the country goes mask-off fascist. And trans people like me become illegal by our very existence. And Israel “finishes the job” in Gaza with vocal cheering from the White House. And Trump has his enemies imprisoned or worse with impunity. And the world teeters on the brink. And so on.
Biden is doing nothing to stop Israel from finishing the job; once again, libs care more about the branding of the genocide than the genocide itself. For the other “points”: if Trump didn’t do all those things when he had a Republican majority in Congress during his first term, why would he do it in his second term when he has even less reason to throw a bone at the religious conservatives he clearly thinks are rubes?
Infamously, in the fateful early years of the 1930s, the German Communists viciously opposed the governing center-left Social Democratic Party. Calling the centrists “Social Fascists,” they declared that there was no substantive difference between liberalism and Nazism. They refused to ally themselves with the center.
And if they had, how would that have changed anything? It’s not like the centrists would suddenly have a change of heart about Communism and decide that they didn’t need Hitler to keep the left in check.
Instead of echoing the hardline leftists of 1931, the American left should look to their counterparts in France of 2024. The world has breathed a sigh of relief over the shocking upset against Marine Le Pen’s far-right party in the recent legislative elections there. The key to that victory was a last-minute alliance of the centrist liberals and the radical left. It worked.
The key difference being that France has actual left wing parties with the structure to force the sort of strategic round-two dropouts needed to thwart the National Rally. There are no such parties in America that can do that; the Greens, DSA, PSL, they’re all too small and too hampered by the two party system to make that effect. The Squad is not analogous to the Popular Front. Bullying works because the bully holds power over the bullied. There is no meaningful way for small leftist organizations, let alone leftists as an unstructured mass, to do that in America.
That was one of the last “urban myths” of video games, that there was some above-board way in FFVII to keep Aerith from getting you-know-what.
Maybe we had it wrong all along; Obama didn’t sink Bernie in the 2020 primary because he’s a neoliberal, he sunk Bernie because he’s a 
that just likes to sow chaos within the democrats.
There’s a lot of similarities between the people telling me to stop taking shits on park benches and rape culture
I believe you mean third failed presidential run.

This is something I’ve noticed with libs, they assume Democrats who lost their elections would’ve been ideal progressives if they had actually won. In reality, it’s extremely likely Gore would’ve done something stupid and destructive in order to look “tough on terror.”
