@BigMcLargeHuge its the only option that doesnt annoy me. So thats a good start. A full beard i find itchy and uncomfortable so i choose this style more for comfort than looks
> I disagree with your take wholeheartedly. First, the republican party is a fascist criminal regime with NO desire to preserve or protect democracy
How is this disagreeing with me? That agrees 100% with what i said.
> Two, the US has a policy of not negotiating with terrorists as the GOP has repeatedly proven itself to be (look at how the GOP is protecting the insurrectionists who tried to overthrow our government on Jan6)
Ok, again how does this disagree with me. This again agrees 100% with what I said...
Read what I said again then we can argue against what I said, rather than a fictitious argument I didnt say.
Literally anyone who disagrees with them in even the slightest iota of a detail... I've literally pointed out very minor criticisms od the DNC before, while int he same breath making it clear I hate the GOP and have had mobs with pitchforks as the result... If one thing is obvious it is that the DNC is not capable of compromise on any layer, and unreasonableness is an excuse they just use to label everyone that disagrees with them.
I agree.. which is why I also feel very few Ds have any sense of self preservation, because, like the GOP, compromise is not at all their strong suite.

> We definitely need more parties.
Agreed
> None of them should be fascist.
Also agreed, which is why I'd be happy to see the two fascist parties we have abolished: DNC and GOP
> I’d love if the implosion of the regressives reduced the pressure for “blue no matter who” and let the socialists peel away from the democratic party, opening the way for some actual lefties to join them.
Sure, removing socialists and communists from the DNC and push them back to the fringe would be good.
> The remainder would be… centrists, I guess
No they would be moderate left... being left of center isnt center, thats moderate left... center is where your views do not favor either side.
> As long as we get more options!!
Agreed
@Poe Its great to have you here. I hope you have a wonderful time int he fedi.
@TruthSandwich Nptice how your response totally ignores the valid point (corruption) and just attacks the invalid point as if it makes the whole invalid...
Neither of you are making good arguments.
@uspolitics As long as the democratic party collapses with it, absolutely... The idea of a democratic party being the only party sounds like the end of the USA... its horrible enough with just two major parties.
That seems like a rather brain dead point of view since your basing it on one thread specifically about him... almost like you add no value to the conversation other than to troll for trolls sake... have fun with that, I have better things to do.
@realcaseyrollins That is probably the case. I am particularly critical of peoples morality and I hold them to it as an objective measure (you dont get a pass just cause all your peers are evil).
To me I think its just so many politicians are evil we just go "ok thats allowed its the norm for politicians"... that doesnt fly with me.
@realcaseyrollins yea but i never claimed he was **more** evil or uniquely evil.. He is just evil, other politicians are also evil
I love how these people jsut throw in adjectives to make shit sound like ther eis an issue... "uniquely" here.. he is evil, he is not unique.
@freemo just use voice to text /s
Correct. I dislike him because he is evil... please try and keep up
@gpowerf keep in mind its not about the key itself. Its actually kore about its position on the keyboard. To make it secure the keyboard would likely need to morph its shape
>No. Morally speaking, they can't fight with others.
Well people are very much not moral, at least not all of them, and certainly not a majority. So if your only relying on morality to stop that, then im afraid the system can work IMO.
> Why wouldn't history repeat? Good question. That is asking for predicting the future.
Im not asking you to predict the future. But its happened hundreds of thousands of times across the globe every time where a no-rules group of people eventually formed individual communities and over time those evolved into goverments.
So unless your doing something different, and it doesnt sound like you are other than hitting the reset sqitch on governments. Then the only rasonable conclusion is youll get the same results int he end.
> The France revolution reverted to an emperor once, but not a second time. Why?
And yet not a single place int eh world has ever not formed into a single massive government you arent allowed to leave freely with.. like never, not in france or any other nation...
The way i see it if governments have always formed and become pervasive then there is simply no logical reason thinking doing it again will somehow not result in that same ending.
> I think that people are getting wiser to "rulers" and with equalization of fighting power through modern weapons it should be much harder to re-establish the State.
They might get wiser to rulers, sure, but your system still relies on rules, the commune is your ruler now and whatever rules they impose..
I can say this, if people in their currently mentality tried this, you'd have a national government back in place by the end of the week. PEople are violent and intolerant of other people with different views... cant see this working more than a few days at best.
@gpowerf good :) Would have to be every few minutes though... doesnt take long to figure out the keys on a new keyboard.
