I’d have to have created a Twitter account at some point for that…

But if someone did have one, they should just delete it.

A steady stream of farewells would give them something to unite over and talk about.

Just fucking delete the account.

I don’t know why everyone has the obsession with “winning” by getting a last word in like that.

If you want to piss people like this off, just ignore them. They’re literally throwing tantrums for attention, and people really think giving them attention is a positive.

You think “later loser” would piss Elmo off, but that’s what he wants.

Every time I see these posts “dunking” on Elon on Twitter…

I just can’t help but think if everyone who disagreed with him just left, him and his supporters would just turn on each other.

The only reason they’re there is to argue, no matter who else is there, they’re gonna argue.

Reasonable people being there just give them someone to unite against.

Don’t give them the common enemy, and they’ll fight each other, and be less unified for the next election.

Anyone still spending time on twitter (regardless of their personal politics) is just helping trump.

So?

What matters is winning elections.

Stomping our feet and saying they should do what we tell them isn’t fucking working.

So if you want them to vote D so together we can stop Rs…

Maybe we should try running a better candidate than we have been?

Maybe no matter how much the wealthy insist on it, just being slightly better than trump isn’t enough.

Maybe we should just run the best candidate we can, one that already agrees with Dem voters so we don’t have to ask millions of people to hold their nose?

The excuse for running candidates further to the right then Dem voters has always been that it would magically win an election.

It hasn’t, and it won’t.

It’s a bad strategy and we’ve stuck with it for about a decade longer than we should have already.

What logical reason can you give to stick with a plan that even when it works doesn’t get us as much as we need, and fails regularly?

As a bonus, the more Dems move right, the more Republicans do.

So every election Dem voters have their potential winnings reduced and potential loses increased…

And people are really surprised why turnout was low?!

Ya, CCCP started it all with Hitler

Whut?

Is this an attempt at a joke or do you really believe that?

It’s hard to tell these days when someone is just pretending

No, this is the voter she pissed off Dem voters for…

It didn’t work out well if you’ve already forgotten.

If someone says trump is Hitler but they voted for him anyways…

Then he was already going to vote for trump, and chasing his vote just led to losing traditional Dem voters with literally no gain.

Moving to the right is political suicide, yet we keep doing it because that’s how you max donations. And that’s all the people running the party care about.

It’s like people really believe America entered WW2 to fight fascism becaus Americans are innately good…

Large amounts of the country said the same shit this guy is. They wanted to either stay out of it or outright join the nazis.

Especially the wealthy. Prescott Bush was believed to be part of the Business Plot that wanted to overthrow the US government in favor of fascism and doing the Axis powers.

They didn’t succeed (mostly because of Pearl Harbor) but his son became head of the CIA, VP, and then president. One of his sons also became president, and almost another one.

If we don’t remember what history was really like, we’re doomed to keep being surprised when the same shit keeps happening.

It’s all about where you live and what you look like.

I’m a huge white dude in a red state, I’ve been getting hit on by nazis since before I was a teenager because I look like their “ideal”.

Like, when they picture their “master race” it’s what I look like, so they always fucking assume I’ll agree with any side comment they make.

If you’re not in a super blue area, you’re not hearing stuff because something identifies you as “them” and not “us”. But even in blue areas I’ll hear shit.

Normalizing republican extremism is about the only thing modern neoliberalism has accomplished, and likely why the same billionaires donate to both.

They want the return of feudual society, they just know the only way they get it is if the only other option is a shit sandwich.

Great.

Why do you think I said he was?

Genuinely asking because for some reason when I said he was likely against the law like most religious people were, that meant he personally wanted a bride under 16

And I legitimately would like to know why, even after I explicitly said this:

You’ve also twisted that into me labeling him a pedo that wants to marry a child younger than 16 and implied everyone agreed that this law was a good thing. One thing you’ve just invented and another that’s easily disproven

What about that did you read and think I meant Lewis wanted to marry a child?

So they blocked new accounts from Israel and Palestine, and the headline just mentions Israel?

Sounds about normal…

He was having an affair with a woman almost 30 years older than himself, and she died in 1951

And surely a wealthy Christian man in England 70 years ago would never be hypocritical…

But like I said, maybe it’s a coincidence and not an intended statement. But the books are incredibly preachy and Lewis writes as if his personal beliefs are clearly and obviously the right and only beliefs.

It’s been decades since I’ve read them, but I’m not the only one with that takeaway from his writings.

And while a child being married under 16 immediately sounds like pedophilia to you (as it should) this was back when the law was being passed and lots opposed it. There were people fighting it for decades after even.

And it literally explains why Susan was held to a different standard than Pete:

This section re-enacts section 1 of the Age of Marriage Act 1929 which set the minimum marriage age at 16 with consent of parents or guardians and 21 (since lowered to 18) without that consent. Marriages contracted by persons either of whom is under the age of 16 years are void.[10][11] Before 1929, the common law and canon law applied so that a person who had attained the legal age of puberty could contract a valid marriage. A marriage contracted by persons either of whom was under the legal age of puberty was voidable. The legal age of puberty was 14 for males and 12 for females.

In 1971, Eekelaar wrote that the prohibition now contained in this section “though desirable, is extreme and inflexible.” According to him it could result in “genuine hardship”, such as where it is discovered, after years of apparent marriage, that a mistake was made, at the time of the ceremony, regarding the age of one of the spouses, or where one of the spouses concealed their real age, though, after 1971, some protection was afforded by section 6 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1970[12] (now repealed and replaced by the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975).

So while you think I’m making an assumption in saying his opposition to this law was likely and may have influenced what he wrote about…

You’ve also twisted that into me labeling him a pedo that wants to marry a child younger than 16 and implied everyone agreed that this law was a good thing. One thing you’ve just invented and another that’s easily disproven

I mean, it was written by a Christian and the first book was published 1950.

The 1949 law was passed in the UK barring marriage under 16, and went into effect 1/1/50.

Knowing Lewis the entire reason for the “Susan problem” was him likely being upset child marriage had been (slightly more) outlawed.

So Susan turned 16 and Lewis made a big deal about a sudden change and now she’s an adult.

Granted, I could very well be wrong.

But it seems like somebody upset about progress, and I wouldn’t be the first to label Lewis as such. But it’s hard for anyone to claim he wasn’t using his writing to shoehorn his opinions in and get kids to agree with him.

Yeah, OP has made this post and one other comment…

They could have posted anything else and been the change they wanted, now they’ll get notifications from people talking about the one thing they dislike enough to make a post?

I’ll never understand the logic behind that shit, the last post was 13 hours ago, just make a different post instead of one complaining about every other posts.

We’ll never have to develop the Voight-Kampf test…

If someone watches Ernest goes to Camp and doesn’t shed a tear they’re a fucking Terminator

Because most of the ones still in office right now (obviously including Biden) were also in office during the 117th Congress when Dems held both majorities?

But this doesn’t feel like it’ll be productive for some reason.

Are you aware of who controlled the House, Presidency, and Senate from 2021-2023?

Hint:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/117th_United_States_Congress

Not enough people voting blue in 2016 is going to have very long lasting consequences.

Hillary’s people trying to shove her down America’s throats and propping up trump in the primary because he was the only one she had a chance to beat is going to have very long lasting consequences.

And letting those same people run Kamala’s campaign and still the DNC is still fucking shit up.

When the only metric for DNC leadership positions is how much bribe money from billionaires total legit donations we shouldn’t be surprised the party and chosen candidate keep favoring money over votes

Rather than yell at voters to accept it, maybe we should restructure the DNC so the people in charge know how to win an election against a candidate as terrible as trump?

Edit:

And for a fair comparison, trump also had 2 years with both houses than one split.

Same as Biden.

It’s the same thing Brazil did.

He’s rich enough that he’s kind of a parent corporation by himself, so:

X was previously accused of violating the Digital Services Act (DSA), which could result in fines of up to 6 percent of total worldwide annual turnover. That fine would be levied on the “provider” of X, which could be defined to include other Musk-led firms.

But yeah, American law has been limited so the buck stops at the company which declares bankruptcy and the money starts a new company.

Not everyone else system is as shitty

And it’s mostly all in one place…

I never realized how valuable that data was

Yeah, but that’s the same as someone writing on a bathroom stall at this point.

Nope, as a kid I had to go to other farms to collect manuare then spread it on the fields of my family’s farm
