We're in this mess because millions and millions of people that voted for Trump and they're going to vote for him again.

The lesson here is that we need to do something about Trump voters, not waste time on a few percent of dorks that think voting 3rd party matters.

Vigilantism and fascism always go hand-in-hand.

There's a bunch of cultures that have folk tales about vaginas with teeth. I think Freud was the one who coined the term?

"Customize"

If I can't have a prehensile penis that can weild a third weapon or gain a bite attack with vagina dentata then can I really customize?

Sometimes (the freak lobster men like top right aren't what most women are into lol), but Hollywood doesn't give a shit about what women want. This is what men want. It's all power fantasy.

But is our contribution minuscule compared to theirs? Like let’s say one man sells (an equal amount of) gasoline to a thousand people. Is that one man now contributing 1000x more to greenhouse gas emissions than any one of those people?

But that's not all he's doing!

He then takes the revenue from selling gasoline and uses it to bribe politicians and hire lobbyists and invest in more oil refining/exploration; he's making the problem even worse.

Meanwhile, the people he sells the gasoline to don't have any real choice but to buy it. They need to work to live, and they can't get to work without gas because Mr. Gasoline destroyed public transportation infrastructure.

Stop trying to flatten everything down to only the carbon footprint (a metric made by the oil industry to absolve themselves on responsibility). They used that money from selling gasoline to convince you that you are equally to blame for climate change as billionaire oil families and it's absolute nonsense.

Uh huh, and if a rubber stamp judge gives wiretapping permission every time the cops ask for it?

They tried, but "violating everyone's privacy works" was also an inescapable point. Really undercut the message by making it so effective.

Absolutely! Doesn't change the fact that Biden's warning is toothless bluster. If he actually tried to end US investment in China it would collapse the world economy. It's a M.A.D. world

Our contribution is miniscule compared to our enemies, and we only contribute what we have to because they sabotaged all alternatives! They killed public transportation, they made neighborhoods and cities unwalkable, they turned cyclists (like me!) into 2nd class citizens of the road, and more.

I'd sell my car if I could. I can't and it's their fuckin fault!

We are not the same as them. They are the enemy and they must be stopped before they kill us all.

It's so interesting watching Republicans overreach on abortion over and over, despite the fact that they don't even have electoral support for it. Ideological commitment might explain it, but I can't help be draw this back to materialistic explanations.

Abortion slows population growth, which weighs on the labor market and necessitates immigration for essential workers. Abortion liberates women, allowing them to control their own bodies and lives. Abortion especially liberates the poor, allowing them to control their own family planning and not have children they can't afford. All of these things weigh on the economy, which needs an endless supply of desperate workers for profitability.

Republicans have so many reasons to oppose abortion that ideology and electability is almost irrelevant.
