Not sure why this story shouldn’t get this much air time, unless you think billionaires should just be able to buy and silence newspapers when they don’t like what they say. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Who is “yall” in this scenario, and why are you lumping me in with whoever that is because I think billionaires silencing journalism is indeed a story?
Anyway sorry I’m not going to play more leftist than thou, hope you get whatever you’re needing out of that though I guess.
The I guess change is never going to happen. No third party candidate in the past 30 years has come even close to Ross Perot in the 1992 election. He got 18.9% of the vote. Do you know how many of the 270 electoral college delegates he needed to win that he got? Zero. Not a single delegate. You have to literally go back more than 100 years to find an example of a third party candidate even coming that close.
So if that’s your big hope for change, you might as well just give up and get out of everyone else’s way.
When did this become just about you? You said change has to happen by voting third party.
Did you even work for a third party campaign this year? If so, which one and what did you do?
Or do you hope you can just talk about voting third party to random people on internet forums and use the rules laid out in The Secret and then it will come to pass?
Right, so you didn’t actually campaign for any candidate, which makes your “vote third party” idea even sillier.
This is how many third party candidates there are this year:
Jill Stein
Chase Oliver
Claude De La Cruz
Randall Terry
Cornel West
So if you think people should vote either for Green Party candidate Jill Stein or Constitution Party candidate Randall Terry and it doesn’t matter which one because “third party or nothing,” you are an unserious person.
It’s like saying you don’t care if dinner is shit or salad as long as it isn’t meat.

Anything is permissible in the push for fascism, it would seem.

You’re right, we should all just accept it and not even try to make note of it. Good idea!

You have to be a fucking teenager. If you’re an adult you should take a test.
Lord, I’d never hear any news if it was only things that have never happened before.
some people value current empirical evidence over hearsay and ‘common sense’ when forming opinions I suppose
Cool. No reason to change anything then! Everything’s great, just like it’s always been!
