Many of the things that really matter to us are fundamentally beyond human comprehension. We cannot understand ourselves, society, our place in the world, the consequences of our actions, or the laws of the universe, and we rarely agree or cooperate with each other.

Great question. I expect more people will move away from identity politics and embrace one of its many criticisms such as queer politics which is more inclusive of everyone.

Scholars have identified queer politics as the opposite of identity politics, aiming to unite diverse marginalized groups and transcend traditional categories.

You have to find your own sanity. Same for peace, purpose, and meaning in life.

I see what you're saying but it is hard to worry about a hypothetical misinterpretation. If you see this happening then you'll have to vote but until then there's nothing there.

Basically they had 4 years to get it done but acted far too slowly and now there's not enough time before he's a sitting president they won't prosecute.

No. The president of the United States is authorized by the U.S. Constitution to grant a pardon for a federal crime.

No. These laws are meant to deny noncitizens from voting because they have been legally allowed to vote in local elections in California, DC, Maryland, New York, and Vermont.

We have laws and legal procedures for due process and we presume innocence until proven guilty.

All branches and levels of government collaborate to give me a single book no bigger than the bible that contains all the law that applies to me. It's got the actual verbatim word for word active law revised at the source so even I can read and understand.
