  • Trump’s plan for Gaza and peace in the Middle East to let Israel kill absolutely everyone that they want to.

    Anyone who thinks Trump would produce a better outcome for the people of Gaza is not thinking clearly.

    In the current political system, voting for a third party in earnest or in protest (for national offices) is a blatant waste of your vote

    By all means, vote in third party candidates in local, county and even state elections. Vote to eliminate the electoral college. VOTE for Ranked-Choice/Instant Runoff voting.

    These are the ways to break the two party deadlock.

    Jill Stein has co-opted the Green Party, and turned it into a blatant pro-trump shill organization, on behalf of Russia/Putin.

    Greens once ran good candidates across the country who won a fair number of local races and took office in places where they could have a good positive effect. No more. Sadly that party has been swindled and hoodwinked by a putinist grifter.



  • I actually read your article, and I wholly disagree.

    Facts matter, truth matters and without the A students we would be even further down the road to Idiocracy, which ofc looks more like a future-documentary every day.

    Your brand of “it’s all stupid, so join the stupid train” seems designed to appeal to people who want to be stupid. Or you could call yourself ignorant, if you prefer.

    In any case, the anti-intellect position that you promote may have a basis in reality (headline hippos) but it is far from a positive contribution.

    You can do better.





  • As an army veteran, I have always found the naming of military facilities for shitty racist losers to be blatant pandering and a poor consolation prize to the wounded sensibilities of ‘the lost cause’ etc

    There was nothing noble about any of that shit, it was 100% about slavery and to be fair, more or less the entire country had been implicitly or explicitly involved in the practice from colonial times.

    So perhaps the consolation prizes and TYFYS-ism of it all was warranted for a period. But that period is well over by now.
