Pathetic. She's throating Putin's dick so hard that she can't even speak to her own government when asked in good faith.

Voting third party is fine. Protest voting is acceptable, though this result still fucking sucks. Strategic voting doesn't have to be the default choice.

Anybody that did NOT vote, thinking it would be any sort of protest, is completely idiotic. Self imposed disenfranchisement only forfeits your own ability to say anything about the results.

The easy answer is, money. Lots of it. With the deregulation of financial crimes (let's see how badly the IRS gets gutted now), it doesn't matter where the money comes from. But it will be necessary to invest heavily in the next midterm and presidential election to ensure JD Vance doesn't automatically win.

The internet archive is based in the US. Until they relocate to a safe alternative, it doesn't matter how much money they receive.

Not gonna lie, this battle will be uphill against entrenched industries like big oil, crypto, big tobacco, the military industrial complex, and billionaires like Elon Musk.

But you can't roll over and let these assholes ravage the country. Conscientious objection to dubious orders happened during the Vietnam War, and it can happen again if Trump goes rogue.

No, siege is when you are suffering from a famine because a government that hasn't received a vote in 15 years picked a fight with a heavily armed neighbor, and said neighbor collectively punishes all of your people for their mistakes (which is a war crime, btw).

People who think freedom of speech also means freedom from consequences.

Bigots being criticized is proof the system is working.

Correct. The time was in July but that guy missed.

If they attempt to abolish term limits I think we're actually going to see a civil war.

Americans aren't special. They're just as vulnerable to fascism as anybody else.

The MAGATs might as well be wearing brownshirts and saluting like Mussolini.

Dougie thinks that radio silence will eventually cause people to blame the federal government, just like his inaction during the freedom convoy protests in Ottawa.

Fuck his fat complacent ass. At least Olivia Chow actually gives a shit about the job.
