i doubt it since every single monied interest has come out against this change and these people like that don’t sit around and hope things change in their favor; they use their money to force it and money is the perfect thing to force a government to require a small, manipulable group to decide on who gets to judge.

what happens january 2nd?

the voter id thing is over simplified, easy sound bite, misdirection selected because having an id to vote has a broad consensus with everybody so long as you don’t look beyond the surface of what it actually means:

voters in this country already have id’s and have to show id to vote so they’re not referring to the act of voting; they’re referring to the act of registering to vote because the federal government doesn’t define it well so the states insert their own version of it and most of the state governments in this country are republican which use “voter id” as a means to suppress democrat voters within their jurisdictions.

in other words: if you cannot register to vote, then you are not allowed to vote; it doesn’t matter that the federal government could recognize your id as legitimate for voting, it only matters than your state does and your state is not legally required to match the federal government’s definition of acceptable voting id if it existed. conservative states know this; are a solid majority in this country and are using their majority position to pressure the federal government into adopting it to suppress the other party’s voters.

for decades, the conservative state and city governments have been receiving financial and advisory support from dark monied astro-turfed conservative movements that have spent millions of dollars and decades worth of experiments on cherry picked court cases and using their relationship with the governments to test out policies that could have the effect that conservatives desire to see in our society. using “voter id” is something that they spent a lot of time and money and effort reviewing over and over again and it was money will spent because now people think they know what it means based on it’s name; but that understanding is shallow.

But I bet they won’t.

they literally didn’t the last time around like they didn’t every single time before then; why would they next time?

how she contrasts with cheney has little impact on the genocide; future the cia induced coups; nor the continuing widening wealth gap; etc.

cheney is an accelerant and aoc is an inhibitor to the same child bombing, rich guy party we’re calling a country since people like cheney hold all of he cards and the best people like aoc can hope for is play along and act surprised each time they re-discover that the game is rigged toward’s cheney’s side each time people like aoc fail and cling on increasingly rarer watered down victories to justify the relatively tiny distinctions between the two.

<SARCASM> and even when they fail it’s simply because you didn’t vote hard enough and ABSOLUTELY NOTE because your vote is diminished or suppressed because only lazy non-voting americans are simply too lazy to overcome studied, coordinated, and court-busting-proven astro-turfed national conservative movements financed by unknown multi-milion/bilion dollar interests in coordination with most states and the federal governments since 1980, all intent on keeping them from voting…</SARCASM>

Whatever your opinion about this situation, you will be better served by presenting it alongside a more complete and accurate respresentation of facts than this screenshot of a tweet contains.

is it possible to fit this level of nuance in a headline?

“compromise with the rich” would have been very on-the-nose

the other guys gonna do it anyway so you have to give me consent because I rape less

in a capitalist system; you can can use the spirit of a free market to shop around and find someone who will rape you the least.

it’s a requirement not to be homeless in our late stage situation.

Weird timeline we’re in.

neoliberals and conservatives are flip sides of the same coin to be spent in the same vending machine of american hegemony; whether or not they select the same flavor makes little difference compared to the very real choices available in some other vending machines rich enough to effectively defend itself from the american machine.

a toddler throws a tantrum when it thinks it can get something it wants from the adult and democrats have a history of giving these toddlers what they wanted when they tantrum-ed hard enough; their current party leader literally used to brag about doing so in his 2020 campaign.

you’re right; my diagnosis is recent and i haven spent enough time learning about it.

i’m too autistic to care about other people’s feelings when i share my political opinions and my post history is littered with it especially since my life has also been heavily impacted by clinton enacting don’t ask don’t tell; biden extolling executive order 10450; clinton, bush jr, obama, trump and biden’s immigration policies; the country’s student loan debt situation created by biden’s student loan act; biden using the inflation reduction action to block truly affordable EV’s; and biden banning tiktok.

i’ll save you the trouble of going through my post history and give you a tldr: both clintons & biden are shit stains in this country’s political history and have fucked me over much more than trump could ever fantasize about; even with project 2025. i also wish kamala was better so that i could vote for her, but she’s seems hellbent on make sure that i don’t; so i’m 99% sure i’ll end up voting for the green party again as i have done in the past 12 years, but this time around i’m deeply touched that nearly all of the people who know and care about me will be doing something similar thanks to my proselytizing.

i think you just described the majority of the republican and democratic parties

a doma enabled deportation of my life partner 12 years ago.

it was a life altering event that turned me from a liberal into a leftist.

Were you at atheist at the time if circumcision? If so; why did you go along w it when they asked you if you wanted to circumcise your son? Did the fact that insurance didn’t cover since they deem it medically unnecessary ring any alarm bells at all?

No one is impartial and anyone who believes that they are only fooling themself to the detriment of everyone else.

Also questioning that “impartialality” under the circumstances it exists can get you jailed & fined being beyond your capability to pay; laying bear another inherent contradiction.

I just feel like such a loser in general and I really hate the fact I am autistic which is 100% why this keeps happening.

That is the reason why it keeps happening and the only thing you can do about it to only associate with people that treat you with respect.

Making a change that ensures a respectful equilibrium will both ensure that you’re treated with respect and allow for THOROUGHLY clueless people to try to help you.

Not that the neurotypicals know any better; it’s just that you fit into a mold that they’re familiar with and they will forever cast you in that mold; so long as you’re willing to only accept help from neurotypicals.

BE WARNED!!!: non-neurotypicals are THOROUGHLY more clueless about the world than anyone else; including neurotypicals.

That judge is smart enough to know that if he decides against the next president of the United States then he can kiss is career goodbye.

Trump is still the favorite to win thanks to the electoral college and this judge knows that; so he’s not going to do anything to jeopardize his position like any other judge in this country would do.

It lays bare the inherent contradictions of our legal system and all of the legal professionals would prefer it that we didn’t pay attention, but merchan doesn’t have that luxury so he’s going to play it safe to protect himself; to the detriment the rest of the country as Trump himself has done

Men used to wear booty shorts and belly shirts like some women do today; if they bothered with a shirt at all publicly and it was all 100% A OKAY; abs/pecs or not

it strikes me as odd that the only effective counter to this is to ignore the very real and legitimate harm caused by our hegemony.
