There are people who seem to actually believe that nobody knew how to read or count to a hundred before the federal government started directing resources in the 1980s.
Fair and equitable education is spending billions of dollars on laptops and dem programs for 70 IQ black kids to try to bump up test score by low single digits to prepare them for the rigors of slinging weed or flipping burgers, and failing, while actively sabotaging any attempt to promote academic excellence in intelligent children.
 
You have two choices here. You either say “yeah, I voted for trump.” Or you say “OH MY GOD YESSSSS I TOTALLY VOTED FOR COCONUT BRAT KAMEL TOE!” I mean, really, the latter is as easy as simply lying. Doesn’t really have to go past that.

(Or you just tell them to fuck off and it’s not any of their business)
Choosing that third option is like voting in Trump to the Left.
The vaccine one during 2020 until Biden won was my personal favorite.

Don't take the TRUMP vaccine! Get vaccinated.
If only. It went from 'don't take the shot' to 'fuck you, take the shot or else' right after the fucking election.
 
Without revealing too much: if you were to list the top 5 cities and top 5 vocations for AWFLs, survey says I’d be in both.
Anecdotally, the “weird joy” bullshit and Kammania in general does not seem to be catching on. Walz is a minor hit, they’re relieved Joe is out, but honestly the Insufferable Liblady Watercooler chat isn’t much different than in March or whatever. I’m pretty convinced that the polls are cooked as hard as everything else right now if the hype is this meh in a pozzed city where you vote for a gay shitlib because his opponent is a literal card carrying communist.
And hell, if Kamala wins (or “wins”) in the sketchiest economic and geopolitical environment of my life - entirely off the back of a bullshit policy-free campaign that wouldn’t fly for student council - then her Presidency doesn’t matter because we’ve clearly already reached the point of no return and she’s just the signifier.
 
I'm not the biggest fan of him but c'mon he was definitely charismatic. That was his whole thing. Even racists could tolerate him because his speech did not resemble annoying "Afro speak" much.
Not talking like your average pavement ape, and having genuine charisma are 2 completely different things.

He had no charisma, he was purely a media hype job from beginning to end. He ran on virtually nothing (Hope and Change is meaningless compared to hard policy) and everything was worse off when he was done. Fuck that guy with a cement dildo.
 
Today my family tried to get out of me who I'm voting for, and I realized I actually don't know if I want to or if I should vote at all. I have pretty strong views on specific issues and both candidates have sworn to do things I absolutely fucking hate and affect me personally, basically. It feels like voting if I want to get shot in the left foot or the right foot.

Imagine if you could vote on specific issues individually rather than having to vote for one party or another?...

That's called propositions, which California has. Most of the time, it's unions or some other lobbying group demanding new bond measures to fund specific things. Sometimes, they're really stupid criminal justice reform like Prop 47, which is why shoplifting is effectively not a crime anymore.

For all policies? Also, California is a state that's pretty solidly Democrat, i.e. left-wing, now isn't it? How about in states that aren't? They wouldn't vote for the same things, would they?
 
It's wild how the only defense the DNC shills have for the economy is "You're a fat fuck who bought more than you need"

This matches their worldview, tho. Genuinely, their plan for Net Zero et all is "if you just go back to a 17th century way of life (while keeping some cheep plastic crap) then the sky god will be less angry." This won't apply to the elites (and people like RoninJoey think they'll be allowed into the elite) but for us plebians? They want us living in arcologies, owning nothing, not being allowed to leave our neo-feudal villages, all while we're encouraged not to breed until we get the world population down to a more manageable 500 million or so.
 
Trump says he is going to terminate the Dept. of Education. Genuine question to those who agree- Why do you support this, and how do you think it will play out?
I support it because bloated, costly bureaucracy must always be destroyed.

How do I think it will play out? Giant pool of lava and some sort of hook.

All the while completely funding the dregs of society to continue having kids after kids of the worst grade of human so the world population goes up anyways.
 
(This is also true for extremely smart kids; the "gifted" programs are just as bad, and should be eliminated everywhere.)
The amount of talent that I've seen "fall through the cracks" is sickening. Some of our brightest young minds are extinguished by educators because those educators don't understand that their job is to create a competent generation of workers and innovaters.
 
I cannot imagine having friends or family that are incapable of tolerating your political opinions.
Its best to know this now because fair weather family and friends are things you don't want in the coming years.
You want to cut them out and not expect them to be there for you when you're in need. Cause they'd sell you out for themselves without a second though.
 
Back in the Air America days, I used to tune into left wing talk radio because it gave me an insight to what they were thinking. I don't believe anyone should lock themselves into an echo chamber, we need to understand the other side's points (even if we don't agree with them). This isn't that. This is naked propaganda. They're not making a case against Donald Trump or proposing policies that disagree with his, they're either trying to shoehorn in the words "Weird" and "Joy" or levelling attacks that we made against their former candidate because it might be effective.
This is effective propaganda for people already on the side of the DNC. You just need to give marching orders and send NPC updates frequently or the brainwashing starts to wear off. When that happens, they need to go back to actually convincing their subjects rather than just telling them what to think.
