    Again though, he cut programs that were in motion so as far as we know stuff could have been decently close and is gone now. Also important is the fact that he’s literally a guy who constantly talks and act like prescription drugs are evil and yet is using China having more of them as a good thing for them and a bad thing for his country.





  • Ones on roofs are easy, a panel can’t weigh more than a car so you lose a few parking spaces on the roof level and bob’s your uncle. The goal is to reduce car usage so it’s fine. And existing ones are too far away to provide electricity? What? They’re literally beside stores which consume power! Yea I don’t like that answer, it’s dumb as hell.

    The pumping idea sounds cool, though, and I’m not against it, but dude I’m so tired of “what if we do nothing because we can’t understand the concept of having multiple solutions going at once?”





  • Woof. Deflect all you want, it doesn’t change that your country is a result of ineffective centrists allowing conservatives to get away with murder, if they aren’t doing it themselves. Harris was still going to use your tax money to kill innocent children, she just wasn’t going to post about it on Truth Social and you would be able to tell yourself that she was the best of two options, and now you don’t need to care anymore. This shit happened when Biden got in, and Harris was right there saying she wouldn’t do anything differently.

    I know ya’ll have a hard time learning, but how obvious do things need to be for you to see how bad things are?



  • Yes, I am privileged. I still do not see even a shred of worth in allowing the situation to get even worse next time around. They call it “strategic” voting but there’s not an ounce of good strategy and planning in that, just reactionary fear driving a short-term mistake that has historically only snowballed into a worse and worse situation.

    I voted NDP here in Canada. People here would say that I threw away my vote, but in the end I used my vote to speak with my own voice and they freely gave their approval to a centrist government that is failing miserably and leading this country and whose approach is based in jerking off corporations at the expense of everyone else. The Democrats, like our Liberal Party here, are still far too confident that they’ll be able to run the same old “not the GOP” platform because they have decades of evidence to prove that that’s enough and after that they can do essentially whatever they want.

    Speaking on the topic of privilege, it must be nice to be able to pretend that a center-right government that continually allows the far-right to advance its interests, even when the center-right holds all the cards, is a reasonable alternative. People still die unnecessary deaths in a corrupt system but, unlike with the GOP in charge, it’s quiet enough you can pretend that it doesn’t exist.


  • Wow, that was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. Why are you implying the only other option is a progressive with HIV? There have been plently of far better, progressive candidates in local, state/provincial, and federal elections/primaries in Canada and the US and I’m proud to have voted progressive because they have routinely shown themselves to be more responsible and representative of the working class and far less corrupt than the centrist and conservative options.

    If “actually does things that will genuinely help instead of being friendly with corporations and genocidal nations” is a bad thing for you then, man, you’re just a fundamentally broken person.



  • He also allowed the GOP to, once again, get away with literal treason and face no real consequences. Harris was his VP during it all, too. They do a little bit of good for the headlines but are functionally useless when it comes to addressing the major systemic issues that keep pushing that country to the right. Their pathetic complacency is a major reason why the far-right was able to get a foothold and they continue to show that they don’t really give a fuck.

    I’m not stupid, I do know that Biden’s administration did ok at a handful of things, it’s just wild that you believe that’s enough. It’s like saying you had a good day because your partner didn’t hit you as though that should be remarkable. Ya’ll’re in an abusive relationship and need to figure that shit out yesterday.
