Why would you automatically doubt this? You are aware there are other places outside where you live, and different things happen there, right?

Sorry, but isn’t that exactly the batshit stuff they’re accusing? Citizens of those states deserve the same benefits, no matter how dumb they or their leaders are

Blessed be the fruit

I mean I hate him, but I didn’t get that from this. To me it sounded like he was suggesting that her newfound supporters know very little about her, that they are fair-weather followers or something. It’s easy to imagine that one of his yes-men showed him a clip of a rally where somebody was fumbling for her last name, and he just took that idea and magnified a single example of something into “nobody knows”, like he always does.

It’s called tracking when you refer to the vertical spacing. That’s what stands out to me as not so good.

Oh hai Mark!

I’m so much more worried about my future kids’ access to toxic alpha male shit and fascist propaganda than I am about porn.

I mostly agree with you, but economics is at best a heaping tablespoon of math and a sack of human behavioral psychology. Those guys really only know what’s going on 6 months after it happened.

Lol, Edith and Mildred are literally my grandmothers’ names. Edith is a badass and just turned 99.

Most interesting definition, I think, comes from contrapposto. Can it die? No. So long as it retains its “shape” more or less, it functions. If heated or denatured, it no longer functions. More like broken than dead.

Wrong. Talk to him every day. Hang out on some weekends, and become friends. Plant subtle notions of egalitarianism through your friendship and generosity. Ask him thought questions about his beliefs, but not in an accusatory manner. Teach him to actually think for himself, to keep an open mind, to seek evidence rather than faith to form convictions. Slowly show him by example what it means to be a good person who cares for their fellow human beings.

Then you plant some drugs on him while at work, and call HR with your suspicions.

We ALREADY TRIED this tactic when we got lazy and apathetic about Hillary, and that’s what gave us Trump the first time around. If we had showed up like we meant it in the primaries, we could have had Bernie.

When we sit on our hands, the wolves lunge for our throats. It will take decades to undo the pillaging of another Trump presidency. Good luck surviving to the next election (assuming Trump permits one) if you’re gay, brown, happen to become pregnant, etc.

You didn’t answer my question. What. Does. Apathy. Do.

True. Such a system shouldn’t be maintained, and we have the right to demand better. HOW is opting out of the democratic process going to do that? (Not rhetorical; please answer this)

Whether you like it or not, It WILL be maintained, at least in the near term. Change is slow. But Trump WILL be the replacement if your plan of apathy prevails. It really is that simple.

Didn’t answer the question. What happens in November/January?

I happen to agree with you, what we have is not an actual democracy. But the two options for change are working within the system, or tearing down the system. Apathy for the system brings no change. The single most misguided idea of your little apathy movement is believing that stamping your feet in frustration is actually DOING anything.
