That’s the power of propaganda. As long as she is pro-choice in her voting, I don’t care what she thinks it’s called internally. Like the people who demonize Obamacare but support its individual policies. They usually vote against it though.

With many of the recent supreme court rulings that have ignored or outright destroyed precedent, I could easily see a situation like you described. Somewhere offscreen a ruling had been made and this is the fallout.

I love seeing these right wing attacks on Kamala that were clearly made for Biden. MFers really did just scratch his name out and write Kamala instead.

Read that for the first time a couple months ago; it very much felt like where I’m at now with everything.

Right on, thanks for the input. That’s vaguely what I remember hearing about it years ago, which had me intrigued. Personally, I just don’t think I like the writing so far. But it seems to read fast so I guess I’ll probably keep going for now. Plenty of books I’ve felt this way about before at this point and been wrong, so we’ll see.

Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.

At this point I hope this is a simulation. Some kid in the oververse is getting bored with their game of EarthRealm and they are just throwing crap at the sim until it fully tanks.

I know for me personally, I don’t want anything printed out ever. It’s just waste, and if I see any flyer or those letters for example it just upsets me. I get the sentiment and maybe in years past, but outside of official communications from an agency don’t send me shit.

I was talking with my mom the other day and apparently their neighbors, who up until now had never shown any political affiliation at all, put up a Trump flag. They’ve been neighbors for like 20 years haha, my mom was shocked.

Every single time the SC does something outrageous some version of this article comes out proclaiming his deep held belief in justice and whatever else. And every time it is complete bullshit.

The man who threw a hissy fit over the NWS mildly correcting him over the course a hurricane would travel during his presidency has the nerve to criticize Helene’s response.
