    ROFL Democrats have already surrendered on fighting the Supreme Court pick. I mean I know it’s not likely they’d be able to stop them from getting confirmed in the end but they’re not even bothering to try here.

      What's crazy is, there was a poll last year from NPR/PBS/Marist that showed 77% of Americans are in favor of preserving Roe. That's crazy high for like, anything. How are Democrats not making this about Roe and forcing Republicans to pay a huge price? They at least have a tiny chance of stopping this by making it about Roe, I bet there are at least 4 GOP senators from states where people don't want to make abortion illegal. But just watch, they will just let Coney Barrett tap dance around the abortion issue and say shit like "well it would be improper to ask a nominee how they would vote in a hypothetical case".

    Saw a thread earlier on Twitter and I thought it might be useful for some of you to read:

    Most of us aren't combatants.

    It takes 25+ supporters to keep one frontline fighter fighting.

    If you are looking toward a grim future and you think your only two options are flee or take up arms, I need you to know, NEED, that you have other options.

    Logistics, medical triage and trauma care, food prep, child care and other forms of aid and succor will be needed.

    Safehouses will be needed. Communication networks will be needed.

    It takes all sorts of people to create a better world; not everybody needs to be John Rambo.

    Prediction:

    Trump's pick of Amy Coney Barrett is blocked somehow.

    Biden wins the general

    Biden's first day in office he announces his supreme court nomination

    ....It's Amy Coney Barrett

    Thinking about how if you get to a toilet and the seat has piss on it, when you wipe the piss you’re actually just creating a very thin film of piss all around the seat, instead of a little splat in one area. A thin film which you then sit on.

      thanks for inspiring some dirtbag leftist philosophy

      Hegel's dialectics but it's about the progression and development of thin layers of piss on toilet seats https://hexbear.net/post/30830

      Sounds like they had around 300 people turn out at that park today. BLM protesters went to a different park, so PB had no one to pick fights with, so they kinda fizzled out and left.

      I have the exact same problem with being a car enthusiast. Most people that have the money to buy a Corvette or a used 911 are just painfully old and reactionary in their politics. Y'know , the "man, these kids these days, all they like to do is complain," type crowd as though they weren't responsible for setting off a chain of events that allowed the planet to catch fire in the first place.
