That's kind of a difficult thing to determine, when asked almost no one says they are, but if asked about policies, they tend to go for more progressive policies, even people that identify as conservatives will agree with more progressive policies. The people they vote for however, are definitely not progressive... Mostly, there are a few.

Then again, progressive in America is pretty much basic human rights and protecting vulnerable people which should be the minimum.

I think it was both playing chicken against each other. Dem leadership refused to listen to "progressives", I E.: things that most Americans wanted, and the voters refused to vote until the Dems listened to them.

So they crashed into each other and now the country is going to burn down.

Maybe if you imagined then being played angrily by tiny little opera phantoms it would help.

Pointing out racism is not you making everything about racism, it's there being a lot of racist shit.

If he didn't try a coup after he lost the last election, you might be able to give him the benefit of the doubt.

It's far, far less than Israel has killed. Before Oct 7th, it was about ten to one Palestinians killed for every Israeli killed. Now it's much much worse and getting worse everyday. Or does that not matter?

Now, can we say Hamas is bad? Of course we can, but by whatever metrics we use to call out Hamas as being bad, Israel is at least ten times worse.

You can't bring in the amount of children Hamas has killed, and at the same time ignore that Is real has killed way more, and expect people to take you seriously. And if you want to try to play the "who shot first" game, that was also Israel, forcing its way into the land that they now occupy. And every square inch they have invaded since.

I loved it when it came out, and was excited for the series when I heard about it. But my family did not have cable so I couldn't watch the series until years later, luckily there were still 7 years of the show left.

Edit to add, I don't disagree with you about the general public forgetting about it.

I love Stargate and the shows. I get the criticism, and don't much disagree with it, love Stargate anyway.

I get the idea of the turn off the brain thing, but I think it's more about being willing to jump into another reality. Yeah, it's an action movie light on story, but honestly a lot of critically acclaimed dramas are just as light on story in order to get to the drama. There's nothing writing with that and sometimes it works. I also like a lot of them.

The Mexican pizza that had olives on it.

Maybe it does

Seems like this kind of bullshit needs to be removed just like the NDA bullshit that got fixed.

Defund Starfleet!

I'd love to read the police reports and see the other side. In cases like these, listening to both sides will get you further from the truth.

The productive class vs the parasite class.

Not you. They have so much money that they do not have to concern themselves on a personal level. As long as things keep working out for them on the macro level, they will keep doing fine.

Wait until they read the second one "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water"

Don't forget every major corporation.

Alright, buddy, have fun.
