And if there’s a Republican president, feds won’t help blue states.
Once Project 2025 does away with the NOAA and the NHC they won’t even be able to pre-stage assistance for red states…

Calm down…
Our news outlets are too busy reporting on Biden right now. Please give them some room to breathe…
What fucking sides?
Ok.
But in regards to downvoting comments that’s not relevant.
I don’t think Reddit is user-centric enough for deplatforming to be useful.
Yeah - if your goal is for Trump to win which which is clearly your case 🙄
For the most part it is how it plays out.
There may be exceptions but the benefits far outweigh the downsides.
Even just lurking on mastodon is frustrating because there is nothing to be done about trolls but engage or ignore and we all know folks can’t help but engage; it’s trolls raison d’être.
I generally assume those complaining about downvotes existing are frustrated trolls.
Downvotes were one of my favorite features of Reddit.
Some stupid shit doesn’t deserve discussion and is best off being shut down.
Downvoted for innocuous comment
It really is starting to feel like Reddit around here 😊🥹
Basically my ideal breakfast…
None of this addresses my point. There isn’t the political power to do it.
And even if there was, the court has already essentially overturned precedent as a concept. That can’t just be rolled back without completely reworking the court, which…see my first point…
…if a sane court is built around them by leaders with enough spine
Lack of spine isn’t the issue. It’s lack of political power.
And even then what would the new court do? If they go back to operating the way they did before this judicial coup, that wouldn’t actually fix any of the damage done. Or remove the traitor sitting on the SCOTUS.
Once they legalized coups, they lost all legitimacy in my opinion.
The SCOTUS situation is scarier than the POTUS situation which was already frightening enough.
I think we largely agree. I’m just saying the old plan is the best plan we have until there is a new plan.
You can’t burn the bridge until after you cross the river.
Which part confused you? I’m happy to help you understand if you like.
lol - I’m not the one who deleted and replaced my entire comment.
I purposely left the part you complained about so people could see the context.
And the point I made was it didn’t matter the difference in word choice. The original point still stands; “Coerce” or “convince”.
I’m not denying it. I’m saying having an actual plan in the really-real world where we’re all going to the polls to vote in 4 months is necessary. I personally can’t imagine a plan that doesn’t start with a Biden endorsement but I am receptive to ideas.
If there isn’t a real live actual viable plan that can be executed; where enough voters can rally around the plan and candidate and not be butt-hurt and vengeful that their primary vote is being discarded and show up at the polls to vote for democracy then Trump will win.
And until that plan is made and executed whinging about Biden isn’t helpful. We all saw the debate. We know the situation.
I’m not saying you want Trump. I’m saying doing what you’re doing isn’t helpful.
Coercing Convincing someone who doesn’t want the job is not a solution.
You’re welcome for the heads up Texas. Enjoy it while it lasts…
