but I thought Marx said that history only repeats itself twice, this has got to be like time five or six or ten by now

Havana wash my underwear separately with extra bleach, am I right?

Damn that’s fucked. I heard they’re also shitting their pants a lot too

I can really say “my real vote is for Stalin to come alive and beat Sleepy Joe to death with a bat televised over the national alert system and assume leadership” and still have people suspect me of being a biden voter. I’m voting for whatever socialist is on the ballot where I live. but question, if voting doesn’t matter, which it kinda doesn’t, what’s with the intense Biden vote shaming? I think I know the answer but I’m curious to hear from someone who does it

okay well that’s better than it being federally decreed, is it not? Lots of states just won’t rule that way, so the difference is a matter of a hundred or two million people living under laws that make letting your child choose HRT a felony. that seems kinda non-trivial

its so. fucking. annoying when I talk about american politics in a discussion about american politics and I make literally any value judgment of a difference between the democratic party and the republican party and people come along to patronizingly tell me “Ackshually, both sides are bad and do bad things! You should get educated.” bestie if we’re opening discussion up like that then my real vote is for Stalin to come alive and beat Sleepy Joe to death with a bat televised over the national alert system and assume leadership but we’re not because we have to limit ourselves to the scope of what is plausible. All that is relevant in US executive politics is the Democrats and the Republicans. Biden is not firing 95% of federal employees. Biden is not criminalizing being transgender in public. Biden is not governing by executive order. The 2025 ghouls have said that they will. They’re both shit sandwiches and they both have cyanide in them but the shit sandwiches are materially different from each other. the party in charge has implications in trans rights, foreign policy, medical care, disability rights, and economics - even if it’s not always even in favor of the dems, which it is often not. I’ll genuflect to the supreme Hitlerian nature of Biden if that’s the toll I have to pay to talk about US party politics but please let’s not pretend that Republicans and Democrats are identical.

okay but dems passing one single measure of two provisions of project 2025 is different from making the entire package of project 2025 your party line

as bad as the US is, we are far from as bad as we could ever get, and project 2025 is a clearly stated intention to take one of the single biggest steps towards “as bad as we could ever get” in US history
