anyone blaming non voters for a trump presidency is stupid. that man should be in prison and biden is commiting attroices overseas killing babies, children, women, men , in yemen/palestein and also belongs in prison. .. what gives these pres the right to cause attrocies overseas? all of em have blood and belong in prison..

. fuck it i dont want to vote .. and if it goes downill its on the corruption in the democratic party . its so annoying how the real corruption is never talked about.. esp with them not allowing other dems to have a chance to win.. the election is a big joke

just vote blue in your state for mayor/govs/ thats better than nothing.

Every time i get my special 12.5mg high somebody famous(typically a politican) gets badly injured or dies. What does this mean

"vote with your wallet!" "All they care about is profit." "go after their wallets where it hurts!" "New boycott list dropped!" "we want to make them care" "calling doesn't work so expose them to donors!" "email them to let them know you'll stop buying-" "if they won't listen we won't pay taxes!"

I think there’s something to be said for the fact that I used to dread presentations when I was younger but now plan to go out of my way to sign myself up for them so I can improve my public speaking. Me from not even two years ago would’ve never. But now ?? The more the merrier let me at them

i totally get not shipping jonerys but i think there's too much potential for george not to explore. i do think jon is going to be critical of dany’s methods and they’re doomed, but they have a lot in common too? like wanting to impose their beliefs and world view on others, and they can bond over having really bad pr too! i just hope that it’s more interesting than the show, for my own sanity.

I do think there's potential to explore but I just do not see the romantic potential. Their commonalities are not the sort that would make them get along. Jon's bad PR is he's a reclusive dick running off bad advice (from another Targaryen to boot) who won't explain his long term plans to people he doesnt like, sends every single one of his allies away, and is trying to break down long held prejudices in the span of a few months. Dany's bad PR seems similar except on top of "breaking down long held prejudices" she trusts violent, shady ass men at every turn (while Jon just straight up executes Slynt! Do you see Jon misstep wrt Alliser and Bowen? Yes, but he is not sitting here justifying their violence the way Dany justifies men like Daario), compromises in ways that completely undermine the prejudices she's trying to break down, and has now simply accepted that her dragons killing innocent people is an acceptable loss. Dany takes a profit off the selling of slaves and I simply do not believe Jon would react so cavalierly to Dany telling him about how she burned her slave alive to hatch her dragons, especially after whatever shenanigans Melisandre and Stannis are going to be getting up to in TWOW. Not for nothing here, but Jon does not use Ghost as a killing machine; anyone or anything Ghost has killed has been in defense of Jon while Drogon is very much a weapon of war.

Beyond that, Dany's identity is very tied up in the being the last dragon. She's going to be ten times worse in the books about finding a dragonseed in Westeros, especially if Rhaegar found out Elia was killed and married Lyanna, thereby legitimizing Jon above Dany's own claim. She's going to kill Aegon VI and destroy KL, maybe even Casterly Rock and parts of Dorne as well! The thing I think everyone overlooks here though is that she is not getting to Westeros until the very end of TWOW at the earliest! She's going to have wracked up a kill count higher than every other character on page, probably a kill count higher than the Conquerors or the Dance or the Redgrass Field. Regardless of any similarities they have in their backgrounds, what Jon is likely to feel when she lands is horror, and a fair amount of nerves. Do I think he will feel guilt for having a hand in his aunt's death, in ending the line of Targaryens? Yes, absolutely! It doesn't mean his guilt will drive him to side with a woman who lands with a slave army and then sets fire to half the continent.

And to be completely honest, if they do hook up, if she lands and she's lauded as a hero after destroying the city states of Slaver's Bay, after slaughtering the khals of the dothraki, after taking a profit off slavery and engaging in collective and cruel & unusual punishment, if murdering Aegon VI for *checks notes* being lied to about who he is and having a better claim than her but not "earning" his ending, and finds some sort of happiness with Jon, I'm saying that's 100x more misogynistic than what the show did, not to mention nauseatingly imperialist and classist. The reason I am very firm in saying Dany will go dark is because it is my opinion anything less is a betrayal of the themes of non violence, the costs of war, and the punishing of the poor. Like, Robb's murder is a tragedy but the book does not shy away from the harm he does! Dany will not (should not!) be treated any different just because she's a woman; that's like the basis of feminist theory!

This is so overwhelming, I need a queer adult to hug me and tell me it's gonna be okay

"mary & george" could've easily been two if not three season of high political drama, but all we got was a weird conjumbled mess of events with fantastical plot points to tie it together and crammed in one season. im quite disappointed. everyone should just read the book, the actual events that transpired were so much more entertaining than what the tv show showed on screen

so when are we bringing back political assassinations

pro-palestinian protesters in toronto walked by a hospital last night (*that happened to be on the route the police told them they should go) and now every politician realized they have a twitter account to say it was "anti-semitic" and they condemn it. and they're saying people were destroying the hospital and going in and doing shit in there...literally none of that happened. they were walking by a hospital to get to the consulate. while never saying anything about the actual genocide happening right now.

im sorry the idea that matty healy dated taylor swift then just ghosted her is fucking hilarious to me

Stop expecting those with authority over you to give a shit about you. Take your power back. So long as a system exists where people can take power away from individuals, that system will always fall back into relying on exploitation to survive. Starve it out.

Have you seen how lazy the house is?

All kinds of shit congress needs to get done and johnson is constantly like "hey... another vacation?". I'm pretty sure they're taking another one next week and they just came back from a two week one last month

Do some work you lazy fuckers

like, this exchange isn't going to make the cut because I had to can this whole sub plot, but I get to write it for myself. for me. as a present. a little treat.

"why didnt the mass shooter just go after politicians???"

you're thinking about it in the way you would do it if you were in that state of mind

it's usually not even actually about politics and is more often about interpersonal issues. the politics only exist to justify their actions, they're not the reason for them per se

if people ACTUALLY listened to the people who research this phenomenon you'd realize most mass shooters do it bc of a shitty upbringing of some sort, which is why the real solution is making sure no one feels so hated that they start to despise "everyone" (their mind distorts and PERCEIVES its everyone even if its just a small group of people) for making them feel hated and if you have way to easy of access to firearms, which is one of the biggest reasons mass shootings happen, you might decide thats the best way to "deal" with a world that "hates" you.

trans visibility week is cool and all but when can we start celebrating trans assassinate greg abbott week?
