    “I have the right to do a lot of things that people don’t even know about.”

    Well, that's true... let's start with "You have the right to remain silent... you have the right to an attorney..."

    What if you want to be pegged by a crane-lifted pile driver?

    So has everyone now accepted that he will run for the 3rd term? Did I miss the legal pushback?

    What does he have to do to be taken seriously? Wake the fuck up, America, the jig is up, there is no more democracy, you'll be lucky if there continues to be a pretense of democracy much longer. Fuck anyone who says it's only for four years

    Okay. I thought about it like you asked and I seem to have very quickly reached a different conclusion. Thanks for the suggestion to think about it.

    Use it or lose it.

    Congrats non-voters.

    Don't worry, the accelerationists have been promising that letting everything get way worse will lead to genuine change. I'm sure they'll be starting that socialist uprising any day now!

    Aaaaany day now...

    I have the "pleasure" of knowing a few of those types.

    They are so fucking exhausting. I don't know what's worse - the die-hard Libertarians that carry that bullshit fantasy throughout their lives, or the armchair Marxist theorist chin-scratchers that think the Democrats are equally bad as Republicans and always want to give you a long-winded think-piece about it.

    At least some of the Libertarians drain some votes away from Republicans.

    They became much worse after October of 2023, though. I guess if they focus on the economics side they are not quite as annoying, and a bit more grounded, but some of them just cannot drop the voter-repellent, like intersectionality and checking your privilege and taking the maximalist position on culture war issues and so on. The best part? Most of them are proud that they don't even vote.
