That’s exactly it. That’s what the DNC tried to sell us on with Biden the first time around: a return to the status quo, despite the fact that our status quo is fucked and is killing us.

This time they’re trying to do what they did with Hilary back in '16: mock and shame us into voting. “He’s not Trump” truly is their only selling point.

Nothing is going to get better under these Democrats. They want to tell you that things will get worse for vulnerable groups if you don’t vote for them, but all that they are really doing is continuing to use the same social issues they’ve been using to divide to now control us. Things have already gotten worse for vulnerable groups under this administration.

Donald Trump is the best thing that ever happened to the DNC, and they don’t actually want him to go away. If he’s gone, who will their boogie-man be?

“oh shit! They’re onto us about the TikTok thing! Quick! Bring up weed! The zoomers and millennials love that shit!”

Minor spoilers ahead.

I have no clue what this show will be like.

I read the trilogy and I’m not really sure that it will translate to the screen very well. The story is absolutely massive and spans from beginning in the Chinese cultural revolution and ends at the literal end of time.

That being said, it is probably my favorite and what I consider the best sci-fi trilogy out there.

Incredibly interesting concepts are explored and it also has a really interesting way of telling the story. It’s not just about one guy saving the whole universe. It catalogs all of civilization’s attempts at coming together and protecting humanity from an alien threat. And it also goes into all of the issues that humanity runs into while trying to work together, while also spanning across thousands of years.

It’s a really fantastic series and I would highly recommend it to just about anyone with an intellectual interest in humanity’s future.

It’s a big statement to say, but this book changed my outlook on humanity and globalism.

Genuinely not sure which option is more frightening.

Take my updoots!

Maintaining the status quo in the face of looming danger does not make you a great president.

The best thing about Biden is that he is not Trump.

Also we’re not only supporting a genocide, we’re footing the bill.

Lmao and the people hoarding incalculable wealth that they’ll never ever be able to spend in multiple lifetimes are for sure helping us progress as a species.

Get real.

When have you ever seen a petition change a single thing? You really think that signing names on a piece of paper would be sufficient to take down the Monarchy?

You realize how naive that is at best, right?

Housing costs are sky-high. Rent is ridiculous. Good luck ever trying to own a house. And yeah, cost of living went way way up and now it’s “stabilized” there.

And to say wages are up is just laughable. I mean, yeah people are now being paid $15 an hour instead of $10, but what does that matter when food and housing costs increased more than that?

The data is skewed by the people that benefited from raising the price of everything during COVID-19 and then never brought the prices down.

The rich are richer and they are the measuring stick for the economy because they own all the news sources. It is dramatically worse for the poor now than it was 5 years ago.

Don’t let bullshit propaganda fool you.

Lmao this has got to be the most misplaced anger ever. You’re mad at people that don’t even make minimum wage aren’t paying taxes on the maybe $35k a year? How about the billionaires that basically don’t pay taxes? Maybe we should deal with that first.

Whaaaaat that’s so crazy and completely unexpected from a guy with a huge history of killing political opponents.

Yeah, like what the fuck? He got Rockstar with a goddamn phone and a Firestick? Dude must be a genius.

Sounds like the origin story of a comic book character.

I can’t believe there’s not a plan for a rail from Atlanta to New Orleans also. There is so much back and forth from Atlanta to New Orleans these days.

What about the the last decade (60 years really) has given you hope about our political system? Shit keeps getting worse for people on the bottom and better for the 1%.

We should have both. The trains will do a lot for regular people, and so would bringing back capital gains taxes.

What about my anecdote seems like a lie? And why the hell would I make up such a pedestrian story?

Huh? These days you can get banned for saying just about anything. I got banned from r/justiceserved the other day for commenting something slightly pro Palestine. Fucked up thing is that I posted that comment in a completely different sub.

Ok ok we fucking get it, US government. Trump is clearly above the law.

I'm not really excited because I felt like V basically took all of the fun detail out of the story and main world and saved it all for online.

The missions and world in V had so little charm and so little of the detail that made IV and previous so amazing. The world was massive but felt totally empty.

But I know they made a bunch of money with online so I'm sure that's how it's gonna be again this time.

Because he's just there to maintain the status quo in a system that's been pushed to the brink and is no longer providing for the people participating in said system.

Also he's so, so fucking old.

We someone to bring about a ton of meaningful change, and fast. Biden isn't the one to do it.
