iirc it was the dems who proposed the early debate, but yeah the gop shouldn't have agreed to it

the dems' motivation was to try to define Trump immediately after his conviction (and probably at some level by the knowledge that Biden's only going to decline further mentally) but I can't understand why the gop said yes, a real blunder.

I guess I'd better go watch the Skibidi youtubes before the whole thing is ruined by this

next Kamala Harris endorsement: James P. Barker over video call from Fort Leavenworth! (Steven Dale Green was not available)

around these parts we call em one-eyed jacks or toad in a hole

every time someone mentions queen victoria I think of this Mitchell and Webb sketch where she breaks decorum over the smell of linden trees

“Air quality is bipartisan,” Lin said. “We all want clean air and to do something about it.”

IF WE ALL WANT CLEAN AIR THEN WHY THE FUCK IS PROFIT MORE IMPORTANT? THE PLANET IS DYING AROUND YOU AND YOU STILL THINK THE PARTIES REPRESENT US? YOUR LIBERAL BULLSHIT IS A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM.

since voters need to make informed decisions, democracy demands that we get at least three televised debates between Yellowstone Supervolcano and Giant Meteor

Why do stories that may start out so promising and suggestive seem to always turn to crap towards the very end? Because any consistent working-out of problems tends towards communism. Such a consistent working-out has to be sabotaged, thwarted; to do that, the principle of consistency itself has to be chucked overboard. A counter-revolutionary ending has to be passed off as a happy ending, meaning whoever represents the revolution must turn out to be a villain, no matter how implausible or visibly tacked-on this characterization is. Erik Killmonger, Daenerys Targaryen, Alma Coin, and Lady Trieu all break bad sort of inexplicably, punishing the viewer for supporting the power-claim of someone with good politics. The message is unequivocal: “Having good politics doesn’t make you fit to rule! Having no politics does! The restoration of the status quo is the best we can hope for.”
