Playing devil’s advocate. What would your solution be if they couldn’t hire enough female guards?
All I’m saying is I don’t think we’d be better off if more people started reading books like the Turner diaries. I’m not making a censorship argument here
I think it would depend on the books.
My whole argument has been that more people should vote. That more people should engage politically. Meaning they educate themselves and they vote in every election they can. Do you sincerely think that if voter participation rose from 2022’s 46% to 60 or 70% that we would have better politicians or worse politicians? I think we’d have better people running for office and being elected to office. That’s the bottom line of my argument.
If the party controlled the primary then Crowley would have won. I don’t like arguments where everything is X but if Y happens that just proves X. I see it as flawed logic.
Wait first it was:
The primary controlled by the very party actively fighting progressives.
Then it became:
A rare and momentous triumph.
Does “the party” determine the primary or do the voters? It’s one or the other.
You’re so incredibly pessimistic. Then how did Ocasio-Cortez beat Crowley in 2018? He had been in Congress for twenty years and was the chair of the House Democratic Caucus! If “the party” controlled the primary why would they “let” her win? The only way things can ever get better is by voting.
That’s why you have to vote in the primary. AOC should have taught you that. Also, did you happen to see the last sentence in that previous comment?
Protesting without voting is just taking a loud walk. It’s easy for politicians to ignore you if you don’t ever show up at the polls. That would be like a bunch of people protesting outside a McDonald’s because the food is unhealthy and then eating at that McDonald’s for their lunch break. Definitely protest but back that protesting up with voting.
Your options are vote or give up and let them do whatever they want. You can be apathetic if you want but I’m not giving up.
Only if we let them. We all gotta vote or they’ll fascism all over the place.
What does it depend on?
What’s the remedy when anyone steals anything?
I’m personally a big fan of consuming fewer calories.
That’s a tough one … I think I’ll go with they’re all culpable.
I think the people cutting down 150 year old tress are pretty clearly the ones to blame for cutting down 150 year old trees.
The very last line stuck out to me:
Markou, the grower, said of the tree-cutting. “You kill your own history here.”
Maybe. I don’t think Muslims are keen for a Christian theocracy especially a white Christian ethno-theocracy
You can’t make this kind of stuff up.
