    People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.

    “Lawfare” meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed

    “Disinformatsiya” or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.

    “Sanewashing” to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.

    It implies it’s a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.

    Liberals complain about “sanewashsing” and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren’t exactly the fucking same as Trump.


  • Maybe but I’m pretty skeptical. If he wins the popular vote he’s going to win upward of 35 states. New York and California should be worth like 2 to 3x the EC votes they get. It’s hard to overstate how much just those two states skew the popular vote for dems.

    The only republican to win the popular vote in my lifetime was Bush still coasting off of 9/11 jingoism.

    I will say that if he wins the popular vote that should be the end of the current form of the democratic party, if you can’t convince the majority of people you’re a better candidate than the guy who audibly shits himself on national television while slowly staying back and forth to 3 different version of Ave Maria I think it’s time to admit you’re cooked.

    But then again losing easily winnable elections to republicans has been the dems entire strategy for decades now.

    A few years ago I would immediatly leave if I saw a burger for more than $15 on a menu regardless of how many unnecessary toppings they had one it.

    Now it costs more than that for a plain cheeseburger with a 6 Oz patty.

    Idk how anybody is still eating out we can take the money we’d spend on a meal in a restaurant and cook something that’s better quality and we have leftovers for 2 days. The only benefits off eating out are to get cheap slop you would feel bad about cooking for yourself.




  • Oh yea you’re really “opposing oppression” by giving unlimited weapons to famously corrupt self avowed neo nazis because they happen to be opposed to your geopolitical ally. The really impressive cognitive dissonance is describing literally anything America has done in the last 80 years as “opposing oppression”.

    You guys are the ones supporting press ganging 75 year olds and dropping them into the meat grinder so a bunch of pentagon consultants dont have to admit theyve been lying their ass off about every aspect of the war for years. How’s that for oppression.

    Also love to accuse the other person of trying to use “might makes right” arguments while actively trying to build a military alliance to surround Russia with nukes while calling them the aggressor.
