One Party Rule, Forever

I have believed for years that expecting to “change the system”, by working within the system, is an absurd notion.
The “system” is too broken.

Really feels that if any change for the better is to occur, it will be at the end of a gun.

I honestly think Trump was the closest we'll ever get to "changing the system from within" since he was a complete outsider.

But I do think the second part of your post is accurate.

And this is also why the attempted hit on McConnell through his wife.

Yes, Mitch is dirty and the IG should have prison-bitched him LONG ago... but he's also a master of parliamentary dirty tricks standing in HR1's way, and if he can be forced out Beshear gets to appoint a Donk or RINO placeholder. Which means the R's have to elect a new Minority Leader, who won't have the mastery of the Senate Rules arcana available to throw monkeywrenches in the works.

My thought EXACTLY when I saw that headline earlier today. They are pulling out ALL THE STOPS, literally, this is End Game stuff.

Tell me, where are we now?

The wi-fi box. Again.

I am all for a fair open system, and if our side loses we lose. But "fair" is hard to agree on wit so much at stake. I'm looking for a good exit strategy. I got no kids, so call me an outlier, but voting with my feet is looking like a viable option.

If you're really in UT...seems like you're already about in a as good of a 'vote with your feet' area.
Unless you mean outside CONUS...
But I hear ya.

That won't happen. The people will never rise up as long as they arent starving and are placated by bread and circuses.

People are easily distracted, even in a place like M4C where people are supposedly more "aware". If you noticed there are 2, literally 2 different threads about some Tiger Woods car crash. This is how easily people are distracted by the news cycle.

Is that really an example of people being easily distracted or just people talking about things other than politics. Politics everywhere gets old fast.

According to Mao that's where power comes from. Can't disagree unfortunately.

I've never really understood this.

Politics IS LIFE.

From the damn time you get up in the morning every day until you die and are buried your entire LIFE is ordered around political decisions.

How much water does your toilet use? The toilet paper you use-the timber used to make it, where did it come from and how was it harvested? How about the chemicals in your air conditioning system? The amount of money you take home. What your children are taught in school. How much are the taxes on the gas you use to go to work? The wood used to build your house- how much does the inspection of it add to the cost? How many airbags does your car have and what about the backup camera and the bumper strength and that little light near the back roofline that tells morons your vehicle is stopped?- How much extra did that add to the cost? How long do you have to work to pay for that? The shoes you wear- did you buy them online and not pay sales tax? The carpet you walk on- what is it's fire rating and again, how did that affect the cost of it? The apple you ate for lunch- what pesticides can be used to grow it, what labor force was used to harvest it, how many times was it inspected, how was the cost of it's travel throughout the retail chain affected by fuel taxes? Paper (deforestation) or plastic (Plastic pollution) or Burlap grocery bags (Would you like a side of Covid with that)?

EVERY GODDAMN THING YOU DO, EVERY SINGLE DAY IS POLITICAL.

People who ignore this fact, I'm sorry, I can't understand it. I really can't. It's why things are the way they are. People just "tune out". How about instead of "tuning out" with sports and other bullshit, you get PISSED OFF about it and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Then, maybe, you CAN tune out because the problem is solved- instead of ignored while you do mindless shit.....

The only sport I ever really watched was football. That was conveniently taken care of a couple years ago when all the kneeling for the Anthem bullshit started. Of course it only got worse in 2020. Haven't watched an NFL game in several years and don't miss it.
