We also do it to ourselves. Everyone has someone in their life they’d rather mute. But they’re forced to coexist with them. Online is so appealing because you can find communities of like minded individuals. Then forget all about those other opinions you don’t like.

Groups with just things we agree with wouldn’t explain it. What happens is we go into groups of people we agree with and then post memes about the other side that everyone agrees with. We get a caricature of the opposition that is reinforced.

As evidence, just look how much news about Trump gets posted to liberal places. If you don’t want to hear about him that’s the last place you should go.

I’ve voted in every primary and local election since the year 2000 and had a Kucinich for President bumper sticker and I still complain about the choices because my preferred candidate has never won. Ever.

For nostalgia’s sake I watched a YouTube video of [adult swim] complete with original commercials and bumpers. Even though I specifically requested commercials they were pretty terrible and I ended up skipping them anyway.

To paraphrase Scott Manley; they got the rocket science down but need to work on their bolt science

(Fly safe)

It’ll be parts of the military versus other parts of the military, and both sides arming guerilla fighters.

You forgot C: Won’t even hear about it because it doesn’t involve Trump spouting coprophilic glossolalia and we lack the attention span to understand what’s happening

The good news is that it’s only gone up from 65%

If we’re asking for things that will never happen I would like a unicorn that shits Lucky Charms

God, I hate humanity some days.

Only some days? Optimist.

One could make an argument that NATO is a continuation of the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about. But Cornell West just saying “I oppose NATO” without making that argument is pretty weird.

It’s not even Republican presidents. Newt Gingrich destroyed the House. Mitch McConnell destroyed the Senate. And there’s a whole bench of people willing to continue their work.

The entirety of the Republican party, from their philosophy to their platform to their elected officials to the individual voters, is a poison. And they have a lot more power than Democrats thanks to their low population density.

We have a FPTP voting system meaning the first candidate across the line wins, so you either vote for A or B.

If you’re in a solidly blue or red state that math is a bit different.

our country WANTS someone on the left that represents the people

Your perception of the electorate is quite different from mine.

The teen pregnancies are the point

Neither of them could do that.

Us dweebs who follow politics don’t know how undecided voters think

I think you’re ignorant of history and naive. I remember being like you. Then I realized what a shitty country we live in and how powerless I am to stop a trillion dollar war machine. Now I’m just sad.

Now that you mention it, the debates between Fetterman and Oz were a lot like the last presidential debate. Oz was put together and crazy, and Fetterman kinda mumbled his way through and didn’t do too well.

the democratic party were too stubborn to let things go any other way and now we’re stuck.

Would that they were this stubborn in 2000…

Yeah. Maybe hanging a lantern on it would work. Do a campaign commercial with Sir Mix A Lot or something.

The debate made me really afraid for my parents. They’re not much younger than either and now I’m thinking they’ll need a lot more help a lot sooner than I realize.
