knightly the Sneptaur

90% of folks can’t be trained to kill.

Half of the remainder would rather frag their own commanding officers than some poor foreign kid.

You seem to be assuming that they didn’t vote for no apparent reason.

Inseperability. Codependence. A lack of notable distinction.

Y’know, like how our “two” major parties are the opposite faces of the same capitalist coin.

What does that have to do with anything?

It disproves your BS.

He’s a member of the right-wing monoparty, isn’t he?

He was an independent, switching his allegiance to the monoparty didn’t help him win any federal elections.

You can’t be an independent if there are no parties to be independent from.

You seem to have very suddenly switched from accepting the reality of the American monoparty to suggesting that no parties exist at all. Are you sure you’re arguing in good faith?

Why is Bernie Sanders such an ultra-capitalist far-right Republican?

He isn’t, that’s why he’s not president right now.

I would like an explanation for this because I didn’t realize he was, but your own logic says he is.

You’ve never discussed my logic, you jumped straight from “American political parties only pretend to be separate entities” to “America’s most famous center-left social democrat is actually a right-wing ultraconservative” as if making the latter claim would disprove the former.

There’s a reason why the Democrat superdelegates refused to nominate the most popular American politician in 2015.

What goalposts?

America has a capitalist monoparty that only pretends to be two parties so as to maintain the illusion of choice.

It’s been so frustrating to have to put up with Democrats that try to enforce a Republican-style party line instead of building the coalition they need to win.

It’s even more frustrating when they put a hundred times more effort into trying to build a coalition with members of the party they claim to be a threat to Democracy instead of their own left wing.

“Thoughts and Prayers”

Seems a fitting epitaph for America.

But you have to admit that RBG didn’t step down during Obama’s term, that they let Republicans keep Merrick Garland out of the SC and gave them that seat, that they didn’t put Roe v. Wade into law during any of the chances they had to do so.

Admit that they were excited about Cheney and Bush’s kids giving an endorsement and never even bothered putting Sanders on stage at a campaign rally.

Admit that their presidential candidate underperformed the abortion-legalizing state ballot measures in every state that had one.

If we’re talking about a distinction without a difference then we can admit that America is a one-party state that only pretends to be a two-party system.

Yeah, I didn’t think the Dems could screw it up regardless of how badly they’re cosplaying right-wing nutjobs from 2004.

Either Americans oppose genocide more than I hoped, or they’re more bigoted than I feared. Dunno whether I’m too cynical or not cynical enough.

Right?

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

That was already the case, remember when Harris was excited to get Republican endorsements and promised to put one on her cabinet?

Reality isn’t even objective, relativity is the rule.

Also, we can’t even impose a religion’s brand of morality on its own priests, why would you pretend that doing so globally would even be possible?

an AI market that’s projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2032.

I wish there was a way to short an entire industry., I could get rich on betting against techbro hype.

Depends on what sort of god you are. Most are harmless, but the malicious ones get Nietzche’d.

Why does morality have to be objective to keep you from raping animals?

Then where do they come from, if there’s no objective morality.

They come from people, of course. Here’s a history lesson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurisprudence#History

Not true, abortion is becoming rampant because political factions are trying to change a moral fact.

False, abortion rates in the US have been in decline since the 80’s:
