Yeah turn their godlike cult figurehead into a martyr. Let's see how that works out in the long run.

Under this new standard, a president can go on a four-to-eight-year crime spree and then retire from public life, never to be held accountable.

Uhhh, that already happened.

Tobias?

I don't know enough about the man himself to confirm or deny... I guess he was the propaganda minister when Leni Riefenstahl was "discovered" (though according to wiki, it was Hitler who was mesmerized by her work and had Goebbels assign her to the task)

I don't understand your point... Obama won two presidential elections in a row. It would seem as though that "selling himself as a progressive convincingly worked out pretty well for him id say.

So you're saying that the people want a progressive candidate, but the Dems would, at most, give us the option of someone who sells themselves as progressive but is an actual neo-liberal?

Oh, maybe I do get it after all. I was going to say that Gore was pretty progressive and did technically win, but that was 25 years agola

This thread is about AOC. You forgot which Democratic party figure you were supposed to be railing on in this thread.

I hope you understand that it will be reflected on your next performance review.

Do you understand how Congress functions? Do you think they're fucking dukes and duchesses or some shit?

Obama was less than a decade ago

Big tough guy on the internet, but let's see how you feel when Trump's brown shirts are knocking on doors to check if you're harboring any trans people...

I wish I was joking, but be prepared because this shit can happen fast. Then maybe you'll think back on this election and wonder what could have happened if all you stupid motherfuckers would just shut the fuck up and vote for Biden.

"Wahhh we had four years to choose a better candidate and we did FUCKING NOTHING. Now we're looking literal fascism in the face and we're suddenly all concerned about who our presidential candidates are." You know we have a whole process for this, right? It doesn't start 5 months before the election.

It's so fucking juvenile. We get it, you're not going to vote. Stop spreading your cancer.

There's enough to be upset with Biden about, the failure of his student loan forgiveness plan isn't one of them. Even after being shot down by the Supreme Court, his administration has continued to forgive millions billions in debt through various other means.

They really have been trying to get it done. He's not the one you should be criticizing for this...

Edit: fixed

Aren't those, like, the only two brands of GPU?

Ohhh I love a nice paranoid scheme and murder web. Something to look forward to

Well if there is one thing conservatives have never understood (and feel angry and small and left out because of it), it's art. Especially performance art.

Breeder reactors reuse the waste as fuel until there's a significantly smaller amount of actual waste.

I imagine if we actually committed to funding nuclear tech, we'd get even better at disposing of it.

Shit, why not send it into space with Elon's rockets? Only half joking.

Who says it needs to be controlled by a few big players?

I mean, obviously we never would, but there could absolutely be a right way to do this. Nationalization could be a solution. Or something like co-determination.

Seems like that's how every large scale "discussion" on the internet goes, all nuance goes out the window. I guess the platforms don't allow for nuanced takes? Other than maybe longform podcasts, but those aren't exactly large scale discussions like reddit or twitter. Maybe some clever sociologist can figure out why we are like this (or likely already has).

Read the original post:

The justices in a 5-4 vote rejected arguments by the Biden administration and Democratic-controlled states that the plan was cutting air pollution.

The court—that is 9 old people who have studied nothing but jurisprudence for the last 3 or 4+ decades —have decided that they are better qualified than the Environmental Protection Agency and the hundreds of thousands of scientists, engineers, and experts that make it up, to judge whether or not an EPA plan to curb pollution actually curbs pollution.

This (and the other decision that just came down about the SEC) seems to indicate to me exactly how they plan to rule in the Chevron Deference case, and it does not look good.

My only (admittedly convoluted) hope is that they decided to choose a couple of the regulatory issues on this session's docket as a handout to the Captain Planet villains that make up the GOP, so they don't lose their shit when they uphold Chevron.

I'm not holding my breath.

The fact that this country isn't on fucking fire about Project 2025 is a very bad sign.

It's because they are all fascists. "Conservative" in America is just a synonym. Fascism has always historically been a boon to corporations due to their integration into the corrupt machine.

Corporations could not care less if someone is "conservative," what they care about is money, power, and control. And fascism seems to be a good way to get that done, while also having the added benefit (in their minds) of causing millions of humans to suffer.

Win/win.

Yeah dude I'm sure these old motherfuckers who dedicated their lives to ONE SINGLE ACADEMIC PURSUIT that is completely unrelated to science in just about every way, knows better than the EPA as to whether or not this plan is cutting air pollution.

Once again, we've encountered one of the many fatal flaws of our system: requiring every citizen and lawmaker to be an PhD level expert on literally every subject or else things break and people die. We're all the ones who have to abide by their dumbass decisions when it literally kills our children. Very cool.
