    If it wasn't for the whole "siccing the national guard on BLM protesters" thing, I might even like this guy.

      my friend is with this dude who generally has good anarchist politics but he says that he "told the national guard to stand down" and "that's why conservatives are saying he wants to let america burn" or some shit

          Obviously yes, but people still drive drunk and speed in places with reliable public transit. Not to mention that the type of drunk to think that vehicular manslaughter is acceptable will also probably be a bit shit to ride with.

            You can't do that much damage in a train car versus behind the wheel. That said angry drunks and rude assholes can have a little bit of prison time as a treat. In all seriousness, if there is reliable public transport, then they should get their license taken away. At this point i mostly drink at home, and the few times we go out, we uber to and from.

        No content for SA and prison r*** is not something to joke about.

          I was just pointing out how Americans cheer about that stuff, not joking about it but ok.

            Flippant comments about SA especially without a CW are not cool and the latter is against site rules. Self crit instead of doubling down bud.

    Let’s say Waltz is truly the lesser of two evil. What makes anyone think he’ll be allowed to have any influence behind the scenes? He was chosen to appeal to people exactly like OOP who think changing the american entity is possible by simply being a guy you can have a beer with. He’ll meekly dissent on sending pinkertons to beat workers while the president sits back and relax because the economic and voter benefits outweigh some uppity emplpyees complaining.

      I think if he actually mattered he'd be the presidential candidate, not the running mate.

      It's moreso the reverse, having a VP that opposes the president especially on foreign policy allows them to collude against the White House. This was a big problem in the Obama administration with Biden frustrating Obama's foreign policy at times.

      The midwest is a remarkably boring part of the US, so people are forced to compensate. I say as someone from the midwest.
