I remember some Republican chud or another saying they’d rather have innocent people imprisoned than let a single criminal walk free. Absolutely cannot fathom that mindset. Completely ghoulish.

I’m not suggesting violence, I’m saying that’s the only thing that would change things overnight. Lasting change takes time. Desegregation and women’s sufferage didn’t magically spawn a third party, they were both accomplished by years of hard work forcing the two existing parties to acknowledge them as genuine issues. Throwing your hands up and saying “they’re all the same anyway” does nothing but make way for the people working very hard to make things worse.

What are you suggesting? Because nothing short of nationwide militant revolution is going to change the facts for any country. “Both sides are the same” is the kind of rhetoric that got the US in the shit it’s in now, for example. Yes, the system needs to be completely overhauled but that’s not going to happen overnight. Nobody’s saying strategic voting is the answer, it’s making the best of a bad situation. Sometimes you need to make incremental progress by choosing the least bad option, because the alternative is worse. No, Kamala would not have been the best pick to be US president, but if you are honestly saying she’d have been the same as Trump you either haven’t been paying attention for the last decade or are actively trying to disenfranchise voters. Either way, keep that shit to yourself.

Zeker

Maybe so, but I think it’s a big step in the right direction. People like Trump rely on unthinking loyalty. If someone is willing to ask questions and decide what’s right for themselves, I think they have a much better chance of finding the right path than someone who needs to hear from someone else what they should think.

He’s still young, and people don’t change overnight, so I’m far more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt than most other MAGA morons.

Yeah I was gonna say, I have total respect for him being 19. Everyone’s a dipshit when they’re a teenager. I’m not gonna blame someone for not understanding US politics while they’re still figuring out who they are as a person, and total respect for someone turning it around as they grow up.

Yeah it’s a real bummer. The ping to Mars is atrocious.

Y’know, with regards whether or not the strait is closed, I’d be more inclined to listen to the people pointing rockets at it.

Yeah, I don’t see Vance having the same pull, but then I thought it was a joke when Trump announced his bid for the presidency, so I don’t trust myself to understand what these people are thinking.

Oh nooo, we won’t be protected by the law they can’t be arsed to follow anyway? Whatever will I do when they surveil my encrypted VPN traffic?

So the director of the FBI is regularly subject to data breaches? Am I reading that correctly?

Huh, I think this is the first time I’ve seen this comic without the caption “OnLy FiVe PeOpLe WiLl GeT tHiS 🤪”

Nono, see, he didn’t think it couldn’t happen, he thought it couldn’t happen there.
